Bank Officials Take Means to Protect
 Their Treasure from Thieves.
 It is said by police official at city hall Headquarters that some of the city banks, whose hoard of surplus cash has been increasing largely of late. have been experimenting with an ex- pedient long in use by the Bank of England officials of paying known crooks for information of any contem" plated raid upon their vaults. The Bank of England's first experiment Of this kind dates from 1850, whsn the directors of the bank listened to startling proposition made by "ditch digger" The laborer told the directors that he had discovered a new and un- suspected method of getting into the cellar vaults, where the gold and sil- yer bars were kept, and that he would sell his secret to them for money. The directors hesitated believing that they had taken every precaution against loss from the vaults in putting up heavy masonry, with plenty of iron bars, and by manning the building with armed watchmen. But finally they granted the man, who seemed to talk fairly chance to try his plan. and a night was named for the undertaking. At the appointed time a committee of the directors descended to the cellar and heard peculiar scratching sound under their feet. Two hours later the floor opened and the ditch digger bobbed up serenely, like the evil spir- It's in the spectacular drama. All around them lay bars of precious metal, totaling in value G3,000,000- The man explained satisfactorily how it was done and as a reward the direc- tors assured him an income from life on an investment of $10,o00. The crook was content and it is believed he remained honest ever afterward. But other eracksmen were tempted by his luck to try the same game and the directors were inundated with sugges- tions and tips on new methods of bur g1ary and how to prevent them. Among other things, they paid $20,000 for a process. invented by young chemist. for copying the ink, paper, water marks and designs of the bank notes so perfectly as to defy detection. The directors found they could use his sys- tenn more satisfactorily and more proftably than their own in the pro- auction of their currency. Despite the fact that these expenditures have run up into big figures in the last half century the directors of today say that all the money was well invested.

OYSTER FISHING IN FUTURE
Submarine Boats Will Make the Bivalva

Submarine Boats Will Make the BiyaIva
 More Accessible.
 The submarine boat will revolution !ze the oyster industry. When in Ches- apeake bay cruising the old Argonaut frequently settled down on oyster beds and, with the permission of the owners, procured all the oysters desired by reaching down through the sea door. The new Argonaut can employ this method of gathering oysters, rising to the surface when her diving-room is full, or send out divers, who can place the oysters collected in buckets or re- ceptacles, which those on the surface can haul up. When bays and rivers are frozen over and oystermen cannot ply their trade the Argonaut can go under the ice. Fishing can also be carried on easily on the bottom with nets, for the fish have no fear of the object they evidently consider whale, and swim from every direction toward the glare of the electric lights shining through the ports. Sponge fishing will engage the attention of the first suc- cessful submarine voyagers. Good sponges are becoming dearer, for the supply in shallow water is running short. The divers cannot go deeper than twenty-five feet, and the best sponges are found in deep water. To this deep water the Argonaut will go and, gathering the finest sponges, put them on the market at a price no great CT than that paid for the common va rieties. She will also try pearl fishing, now conducted at an enormous expense of life, for by strange freak of na- ture pearl oysters are generally found tn localities where bad weather pre- vails and hurricanes and typhoons are frequent. These the Argonaut, under the water. need not fear, and her div CTS, insead of gathering up the oysters by the single handful, can gather them hy the bushel.-Lippincott's.
