TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which Its
 Treasures Are Guarded

The Tower of London has the most has yet been devised.
 From Scotland Yard. from the gov ernor,s headquarters and from other places known only to Il few re>pon- Sibie officials the whole Tower can be closed electrically within Il few sec ondS. Even the pondc"oIls gates at the middle tower. which weigh some tons and through which visitors pass. swing to automatically, and the escape of every one within is instantly barred At the same time an alarm bell rings to warn wardens, police and soldiers.
 In particular the precautions in the apartment containing the crown jew els are of most scientifically ella bo- rate kind. One of the beefeaterS on duty in the room has merely to press . button, whereupon the heavy door closes, the alarm bell below rings, the other gates slam to and lock. and every person within the tower is instantly cut off from the outer world.
 The man who can get away with ally Ol tue cIONH JeWciS ueSetNcS them.' observed Tower official. Prom where am standing could close every important door and gate in the Tower in as short |. time as it takes to utter these words"
 It was mainly to insure the safety of the crown jewels that the system was installed.
 No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on recent Sat urday when, greatly to their alarm. the visitors found doors locked bolted and barred against them for about ten minutes. preventing any one leaving the Tower.
 "The Tower simply closed-that is all," remarked an official. Who caus- ed it. to do so we do not know. 1t micbt have been Scotland Yard. where the pressing of q button would i'm prisor every soul within the Tower un- til tho police Save the signal for their release. or it might have been the governor. anxious to learn whether We were all at our posts. At any rate, it was none of the minor officials
 "In fact. who closed the Tower and why is q secret known only to the highest authorities. There was no alarm, no attempt to seize the croWp jewels" s."-London Mail.
