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

The Perfect System by Which lite
Treasures Are Guarded.
The Tower of London has the most
perfect system of burglar alarms that
has yet been devised.
From Scotland Yard. from the gov
ernor's headquarters and from other
places known only TO a few respon-
sible officials the whole Tower can be
closed electrically within a few sec
onds. Even the ponderous 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 ana soldiers.
In particular the precautions In the
apartment containing the crown jew
els are of a most scientifically elabo-
rate kind. One of the beefeaters on
duty in the room has merely to press
a button. ~whereupon the heavy door
v4oses.. the alarm beli-5eiow rings. the
other gates slam TO and lock, and every
person within the tower is instantly
cut off from the outer world.
1.-THE nan who can get away with
any of the crown jewels deserves
Them" observed a Tower official.
From where am standing ] could
close every important door and gate
in the Tower in as short a time as 1t
takes to utter these words"
1t 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 a 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.
1.-THE Tower simply ~closed-that is
all" remarked an official. who caus-
ed it to do so we do not know. 1t
might have been Scotland Yard. where
the pressing Of a button would i'm
prison every soul within the Tower un-
I'll the police gave the signal for their
release, or 1t might have been the
governor, anxious to learn whether we
were all at our posts. At any rate. 1t
was none of the minor officials.
I'm fact, who closed the Tower and
why is a secret known only to the
highest authorities. There was no
alarm, no attempt to seize the crown
