The vault has long been in disuse and the room occupied by it is now wanted for other purposes. The walls are constructed of layers of hard spring steel 1A inches. in thickness. Two op- orators will be placed in the vault, each with carbon attached to a feed wire. The men will wear heavy rubber boots and especially constructed goggles to protect their eyes from the intense light. They will pass the carbon over the walls of the vault burning them in interesting lines. A somewhat sim liar test of electricity was made in Washington about two years ago, when a hole large enough to allow the pass age of man was burned through the walls of one of the large government vaults in twelve minutes.
