so far as safety goes the immense
doors might be left open. since the
steam bath would cffcctually stop any
one trying to enter, even though en-
cased in armor. In many other de-
tails this new vault is the most re
markable in the world. 1t is made OF
400 tons OF steel and rests upon piers,
the spaces between which are always
brilliantly lighted. by means OF an
ingenious arrangement of mirrors n
Waterman without moving can keep
every inch of surrounding space under
constant surveillance, The floor. be-
meath the safe, consists, in addition to
its steel inside Innings, Of two tiers Of
railroad interlocked rails. with four
inches of concrete on top and Your
Inches Of armor plate underneath. To
the vault itself there are two circular
doors each eight feet and one-half in
thickness. Each of the hinges on
these doors weighs two tons. An
around the whole structure are tho
brass n~ozzles, which by the touch OF
a button anywhere in the building,
and in several places outside OF it
would render the vicinity or the vault
a cauldron OF death. The total cost
of this remarkable defense against
thieves IS given as $3.50. 900, which,
while large in itself, is only Il minute
