Pitfalls For Thieves.

Although burglar-proof vaults have
been brought 10 IA high state of perfec-
tion, bank robberies continue, so that
now the latest developments in this di-
rection are not merely to increase the
Inassiveness of the safes, but also TO
provide offensive measures. At the
Fifth Avenue Bank and Safe Deposit
Vaults, in New York city, the depOsi-
tory of the wealth Of the 400" the
entire building is provided with a sys-
tenn Of pitfalls such that no burglar
could possibly escape. Every window
and door is connected with burglar
alarm companies. 80, also, are all the
stairs leading to the vault, and certain
squares in tine flooring. 1.-THE turglar
were lucky enough 10 escape all these
pitfalls he would find himself in front
of the vault
The vault doors are protected by ap-
parently simple wooden affairs, which,
if destroyed or in any way interfefed
with, send out burglar alarms and ac-
tuate gun concealed in the side Of
the wall, which sends forth broad
side Of buckshot.
A daylight hold-up i equally pro-
vided for. The tellers are provided
with foot push buttons, 50 that if they
were held up they could readily give
the alarm while apparently standing
perfectly still with their hands up.
The buttons actUate the vault locks
and mt the same time lock steel graf
ing that extends IN front OF it, as well
as sounding a huge gong in the mid
die OF the building. The presidents
desk is similarly equipped so that if he
were threatened, while apparently
complying, he would have his intrud-
er most completely entrapped. The
bank people consider that they now
have absolute protection.
