work. their bid of $4,000 being 100 per
cent lower than any one of the other half
a dozen bids. The highest bid submitted
for the work was $4,000 The price con-
tracted for by Barsto and De Nasti caused
somewhat of a surprise at first because It
was much lower than even the architects
and builders OF the municipal building
had expected. Even the board of Commits
sioners who are seldom surprised at any
thing. especially il it is low, opened their
eyes little wider when they read the
bids.
James L. Parsons, who has the contract
to build the municipal building, and who is
already being praised, explained that the
reason Barsto and De Nasti were able to
bid SO low was because they combined
on the work and De Nasti did not figure
on price for his genius in designing and
making the models for the statues, but
simply considered his time. He and Barsto
agreed to divide the profits Such a
method Of contracting for art and statue
work is seldom practiced. The artists

TTwO things have happened in the
financial world within the last
fortnight which furnish new
proof that Wall street is par ex-
cellence the land of contradic-
lions. says the New York Times.
On Saturday. the goth of April. William o.
kuglas walked out of the Trust Company
America shortly before noon with the
500 900 of bonds that went TO complete
million dollars defalcation. He was
bunior clerk his escape was as unimpeded

ceeding nights. nothing short of young
earthquake would have awaited to open 1t
until its time locks gave permission.
The first Incident was illustrative of Wall
street by day the second OF Wall street by
might. The common sight OF bank mes
seuger running around the street without

of thousands of negotiable securities in his

pert could tell at first sight what a really
fine job this was.
This curtain Is what surrounds the vault
OF the Chemical National Bank and the
vaults OF IS per cent Of the other banks
down town. 1t Is so put on the vaults Just
beneath the outer sheathing that II forms a
continuous envelope when the vault door
Is smut. without crack or point of separa-
tion. SO much. then, for the curtain The,
next proposition Is to connect with the
TWO layers Of tinfoll In the curtain the two
ends OF an electric circuit so that when
the current is applied 1t will pass contin-
uousiy around the vault In the inside layer
or tinfoil, then through a delicate resistance
coll, on into the strip Of tinfoil superim-
posed and out on the other wire leading
back to the main office
The indicators with their bell attachment
connect the ends Of the wire to form q cir
cult. When the device is in opera ton a
current Of a given strength is passed
through the circuit and the resistance en-
countered in the coil connecting the outer
and inner layers of tinfoil places a needle
on the indicator in the central Office at a
certain figure. This resistance Is always
under control and may be varied from time
to time during the night for the purpose of
testing TO see II the mechanism is in work
ing order. But let anybody undertake to
cut through the tinfoil curtain. or even to
cut out the wires that lead to 1t, and one
of two things is certain to happen-either
he will short circuit the entire device. as in
the case Of cutting directly through the
curtain, or else he will cut out the resist
ance coil by connecting with his instrument
the outer and inner layers of tinfoil. The
