BURGLAR ALARM
WITHOUT A FLAW
Dresden Engineers Simple
Device to Give Warning
of Intruder.

A new and simple kind of burglar
alarm has been invented by a Dresden
engineer. according to a report from
Deputy Consul General BywateT.
Mr.. Bywater says it has been thor
oughly tested by the police authorities
of Dresden and Berlin and the most ex-
perienced criminal experts were unable
10 find flaws in the apparatus or to
enter the protected premises without
starting the alarm
The appliance is extremely sirnple
consisting of a curtain or portiere wire
with fine conductors. AT certain places
on the curtain are affixed small metal
knobs, which are connected with the
wire conductors. The curtain is then
drawn across the window or door, OF
around the safe. and the slightest dis
turbance of this position Immediately
breaks the circuit, as the metal knobs
are thrown out of contact with each
other.
Should the burglar notice the wires
and cut one or several thereof, the
breaking Of the circuit would start the
alarm. Any other attempt to destroy
the protecting curtain would also be
noticed Any curtain, unless made OF
ffreprOOf material, would also act as a
fire alarm. The alarm itself may con-
sist of a series of bells, lights or other
electrical appliances.
The invention in question can be used
to protect doors, windows, safes. etc
and naturally the curtains, forming the
most conspicuous part of the device
can be designed and arranged to suit
the individual taste. Mr.. ByWater saws
the inventor recently gave him an ex-
hibition of the working of the appar-
atus and he got the Impression that
this invention is unique IN simplicity
and reliance.

nearer to the possible ultimate attain

thorities say that a generation Of the
silver standard is liable. TO bring China
to the point where it win be possible
to adopt gold as the money basis.
For the present, the immense coinage
Of the taeI by China means almost GER
tainly strong upward movement in
the value of silver. The tael is worth
about so cents. The expectation Of
Chinese fiscal agents who have been in
washington is that the new silver tael
will be made the monetary basis Of the
country before there is a sufficient sup
ply coined for general circulation. Ihis
is not q difficult proceeding. Paper
bills could be issued against silver bull
lion, or the faith of the government
could be pledged to redeem uncovered
paper in the tael, and a guarante fund
could be provided. Just how far the
credit of China would go toward sus-
tanning such a system IS predetermined.
But in case the announcement that
China will undertake seriously to sus-
tain an imperial currency on a silver
basis is certain 20 have buoyant eff
feet on the value of silver all over the
world.
