Safes Cracked in Public.

"One hundred and fifty bankers. says

Ohio, to watch expert eracksmen blow
their way into number of presumably
burglar proof safes. It was, in fact, a
competitive test as to invulnerability
between number Of bank safes made
by as many companies.
The contest narrowed down to safe
manufactured of chrome steel and an
other composed Of manganese steel. Each
was subjected to three explosions, APP
piled in the same manner and OF equal
power. Two pounds Of dynamite were
first used. placed upon the top Of the
safes e opened the joints Of the chrome
steel safe. In the other instance it made
d dent a half-inch In depth in the top,
knocking of some Of the enamel cover
ing. Next charge OF four ounces Of
nitro glycerine was applied to the chrome
steel. which cracked the framework,
forcing out the circular door to the ex-
tent Of several inches. A charge of the
same quantity merely scared the enamel
of the other safe A second OF the same
quantity of nitro glycerine blew the door

the metal lining into scraps. A similar
charge applied to the other destroyed
more Of the enalnel, but apparently did
no other damage until the safe was
opened Then it was found that the
glass plate combining the time-loek had
been shattered. The lock had been
'woundn TO open the safe shortly after
the time appointed for the test. When
the door was opened it was found that
the operation Of the clock work had not
been affected.
