BATTLESHIP STEEL VAULTS.
Armor Plates to Defy Burglars.

II has been conceded by eminent bank vault
experts throughout the world that perfection in
the art has come in a vault made Of battleship
armor plate, for the reason that excellent work
manship, coupled with the high quality of the
material entering into arnor plate results in a
construction which is absolutely fire. water gas.
burglar and mob proof
The present serious disturbances throughout
need for means of protection I'm times of excite
ment, and officials of the great banking institu-
tions of modern times say they cannot afford to
overlook the possibility of some day being
obliged to contend with mobs and bombs in the
preservation of their property.
The Girard Trust of Philadelphia Is Of
the first banking institutions of this country to
take such steps to preserve its property. This
house has just placed contract with the Beth
lehem Steel Company for safe deposit and
treasurer's vault. 10 be installed in the building
al Broad and Chestnut SITS, in that city.
The TWO vaults will be manufactured and
erected complete by the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, ready for placement on foundations in the
bank building. They will be made throughout Of
Harveyized armor plate of the same high quail
ity as that being furnished TO the United States
Navy Department for the protection of war YES
sells
The plates comprising the main body Of the
vaults will be five inches thick and the fronts
l5l2 inches thick. Massive rounC doors Is
inches thick. swung on huge hinges and operated
by the most modern bolt and lock mechanism,
Will be feature of the installation.
The treasurer's vault is 10 be q feet wide, IS
feet inches high and Is feet 2 inches deep, and
the safe deposit vault 80 feet wide. 9 feet o
inches high and % feet inches deep.
The tests Of armor plates at the United States
naval proving ground, of the same thickness as
those used in vault construction, have demon
strated that the vaults which will be installed
in the Girard Trust building would be well able
10 Withstand the attacks of burglars. or even
gunners with great weapons or bombs
1t has been officially reported that during the
recent naval engagements between the japanese
and Russian fleets face hardened armor plate
such will be used IN the construction of the
Girard vaults, was penetrated by prOjectiles,
and many Of the vessels were armored with face
hardened armor made at the works of the Beth
lehem Steel Company.
The warding of the contract for these vaults
closes the most important vault transaction OF
recent years, and is a signal triumph of armor
plate construction Philadelphia Record

CRITICIsE ACTION OF PRESBYTERY.
Pastor and Members of Westminster Church
Think Trustees Are Autocratic.

If the trustees of the New-YorlS Presbytery have
any bombshell to explode under the Rev. DR.. John
Lloyd Lee and the members of the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, which has withdrawn from
the governing body, they are carefully conceal
ing il.
James Yereance. the secretary of the trustees,
said yesterday:
The case is still in preparation We have been
moving right along in our plans for asserting our
authority over the property, but are not doing 1t
publicly The public will hear a great deal about
the case before il Is over.
Members Of the church simply laugh when they
hear of the work of the trustees. I'VE have
not heard of any move their part" said one of
them yesterday. and I guess they puzzled as
TO what they can undertake with any prospect Of
success
DR.. Lee said
The Presbytery is taking the best method to in
form the Presbyterian churches Of New York that
they can leave the Presbytery whenever they like
II they bring any test case against u.s. all the
churches will be informed of their rights.
A member of the session said:
The Presbytery by its autocratic and hostile
ton toward this church. is doing great injury to
Christianity. Fifty years ago there We're fifty
seven Presbyterian churches in this city. Now
there are only fifty two. Meanwhile the population
Of the city has doubled The lesson is obvious that
the Presbytery ought to devote its attention 10
strengthening the Church rather than forcing
churches out of existence

Educating the Filipinos

In the Philippine Islands 500 Ameri-
can and 5000 Filipino teachers are busy
educating nearly 100000 pupils of all
ages.
Mr.. Scott, chief clerk of the Philip
pine Board of Education, said a few
days ago that 10 per cent of the popu-
lation of the Philippines, nearly 100000,
now speak English, and that the Filipino
boy until he reaches the age of nineteen
is mentally superior to the American of
the same age, but there his superiority
ends, and our educational system has not
existed long enough to enable US to de-
termine his capacity during the second
period of his mental development.
The Filipino boy is inferior physically
to the American boy at all stages, but
the girl of the islands, according to Mr..
Scott, though of small physique in early
years, exceeds at the age of sixteen the
stature of the American girl, and is in
comparably superior to her native
brothers.
All the American teachers and 200 of
the Filipinos are paid by the insular gov
eminent The others are paid by the
municipalities.

Pinless Chinese.

A member of the Chinese Legation,
clad in splendid pale and hued silks,
stood before the Casino at Newport.
"Pins," he said, cause untidy habits.
We have no pins in China The right
way TO fasten things is with buttons and
buttonholes, or with loops and frogs.
To fasten things with pins is to make
use of an untidy 1nakeshift. To employ
pins is to become lazy and slovenly.
"We have no pins in China. Ger
tain foreign manufacturers shipped mil
lions of them to us in the past, but
we sent them back. We had no use for
them. We were too neat"
