STRONGEST VAULT BUILT.


The largest and strongest vault in

built OF armour ulate in two stories,

half feet high, 100 feet long and SO
feet wide. The whole structure
weighs 100 tons. The steel plates
are Ain. armor plate, OF the same
kind furnished the government for
war vessels. Except for the doors
the walls are free from openings Of
any kind. The plates are dovetailed
together in such way as to make
separation impossible except from the
inside, and the entire vault is incascd

There are no holes through the
doors for the locking mechanism,
and the automatic time locks are the
sole means Of opening the vaults after
each OF the three doors there are four
locks. All Of these would have to
fail simultaneously to make an accid-
entail permanent locking possible.

NEW ASH EXPELLER.

A new way Of disposing of the
large amount OF ashes and clinkers
which materializes every day in the
stoke-hole of a ship has been found
in machine, which expels the ashes
and clinkers straight down through
the bottom of the ship instead of
from the side, says Popular Mechan-

The underline expeller, which is
driven by air motor, eliminates all
these disadvantages, The machine
is absolutely silent in its workings,
all its parts are at all times accessible
for examination and the ashes are
projected with sufficient velocity to
carry them deep enough to clear all
