To Thyvart the Safe Burglar.

From the Electrical Review.
There does seem possible a pretty good
protection, however. The suggestion lies
in a recently published invention for con-
structing prison doors and window graf
ings. The idea was to make them of ordi-
nary steel pipes. all filled with liquid un-
der pressure. and connected by main pipe
with an alarm which would operate by
reduction of pressure. Attempted saving
let's the liquid escape and rings the bell.
If such scheme were applied to a safe,
by traversing it on all sides, either inside
the outer plates or outside, and We're con-
nected with an alarm set on a lamppost
prominent on the sidewalk, 1t ought to
ccme near being good protection. The door
could be arranged with piston and cylinder
inside the safe. so that opening the door
would set off the alarm.
Then drilling at the lock. driving in the
spindle or other successful attack on the
'ock would still leave the burglar at the
mercy of the alarm when he opens the
door. Nitro-glycerine. dynamite or powder
would also effect the ringing of the alarm,
and the plan would also protect against
the electric arc itself. since the network
of small pipes would be in the way of any
large arc, and become melted And q
small arc for mere drilling at the lock
would be no better than drill, since the
opening Of the door would eventually ring
the alarm.
The connecting pipes could be left ex
posed. because tampering with them would
ring the alarm.
Or. instead Of fixing the pipe system to
the safe, construct 1t as a cage to contain
the safe. the cage being large enough to
make the safe inaccessible to the hands of
the burglar u
Such system would be protective. at
least until the burglar already an exnert
electrician had time to become a master
plumber and pipeftter. and could invent
scnemes Tor beating the alarm.
