The Bank of England's strong room
is one of the largest in the world. The
foundation, GO feet below the street
level. is Il bed of concrete 20 feet thick.
Above this is n lake seven feet deep
and above that thick plates of iron
specially manufactured to resist both
skill and force. Any one attempting
an entrance from above would find
similar bed of concrete, similar lake
and similar plates of iron. The walls
are imDenetrable while the doors are
one foot thick, weigh four tons each
and are made absolutely undrillable.

of solid steel, weighs over two tons

Separate Towels for Children.

Two or more children should not be
permitted to use the same towel. Each
child should have n separate one and
be taught to regard ii as personal prop
erty- Towels may be bought with
initials woven in them, which makes
it easy for the owner TO distinguish
his own. Diseases of the eye and skin
diseases are easily communicated by
the indiscriminate use of the same
towel by different persons. If careful
ness in this matter be inculcated in
childhood, IL may save much suffering

FRANK BASSFORD IS ALIVE.
BAD TO BE A PRISONER IN A
SIBERIAN JAIL.
Qhe Young Otter Hunters Boat
Was Driven to the Coast OF
Kamtschatka.

For several years the family and
friends Of Frank Bassford Of VacavlMe
brother of ex-Assemblyman ]. M. and
Henry A. Bassford, ali we'll known In
Sacramento-have believed him to pe
dead, but he isn't.
Young Bassford went to the northern
seas one spring, some six or seven years
ago, as a sharpshooter on an otter
hunting vessel He was a crack snot
and fond of adventure, which account
ed for his leaving pleasant home IN
one of the most beautiful of California
valleys.
One day, while he was out in small
boat shooting otter on the Siberian
coast, a typhoon came up and cut him
off from the ship. When last seen by
his comrades on board the vessel his
boat was being driven before the gale
away from the ship and toward the
Siberian coast. He soon passed out
of sight, and was given up as lost.
His father since went to the grave
bewalling the untimely fate of his
youngest and favorite son, and none of
his relatives have expected to ever
again hear of him, though friends for a
few years held to the hope that the Id
fated hunter might have reached the
Asiatic coast and fallen in with friend
~ natives
Now comes the story, brought by a
sailor of the Olympia, who lately re-
turned from Manila, that Frank Bass
ford is a prisoner on the peninsula OF
Kamtschatka, having been seized by a
Russian gunboat off the Siberian coast.
The authority for the statement is
Sailor Morris, now in San Francisco.
Bassford's relatives will ask the Rus
sian Consul General at San Francisco
to ascertain the truth of the story, and
If authenticated will take steps to pro-
cure the sailor release.
