TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which It's
 Treasures Are Guarded.

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 efnor's headquarters and from other places known only to q few rcSpon- 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. aud the rst.al,p of every one within is instantly barred. At lc same time an alarm bell rings to Whrn wardens, police and soldiers.
 In particular the precautions in the apartment containing the crown jew els are of most scientifically r!ab4. rate kind. One of the bccfeaters of 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 tue outer world.
 'ThY man who can get away with any of the crown jewels deserves them" observed Tower oniria.. "F'rom where l am standing l could close every important door and gate i'll the Tower in as short a time as il takes to utter these words.''
 Ii was mainly to insure the safety of tue 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. b01tef 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. It might have been Scotland Yard, where the pressing of button would i'm prisou every soul within the Tower tn- til ths police gave the signal for their release. or it might have been the governor. anxious to learn whether we was none of the minor officials.
 ''In fact. who closed the Tower aN5 why is secret known only To the highest authorities There WHs ne alarm, no attempt to seize the CroWn jewels."-London Mail
