TOWER OF LONDON.
Tho Perfect System by Which It's
 Treasures Arc 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 Othee places known 0uly to a few respou- sibe officials the whole Tower can be closed electrically within a few sec onds Even the ponde"ous 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 elabo- rate kind. One of the becfcatcrS 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 any of the crown jewels deserves them,' observed Il Tower official. From where l am standing l could close every important door and gate in the Tower in as short time as it 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, bolted and barred against them for about ten minutes. preventing any one leaving the Tower.
 .rhe 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 button would i'm prison every soul within the Tower un- til tho police gave 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 tue minor officials.
 ''In fact, who closed the Tower and why is secret known only to the highest authorities. There was no alarm, no attempt to seize tue crown jeweIs."-London Mail.

To Multiply by Division.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table Is us
easy as pie and that the fives are
not much harder: but. slight as is the
mental effort required In multiplying
any number by five. II may be lessened
still more by discarding the multipller
entirely and substituting a divisor In
stead. This may sound paradoxical,
but by experimenting you will find
that dividing by two viii bring the
same result as multiplying by five.

Der or five IL It be odd. For instance,
IL you multiply 2.734 by i've the prod

They Seem to Have Done Some Rather
Tolerable Shooting.

Tolerable Shooting.
"These old shooting irons" said a
man from Virginia. who was examin-
ing an old filntlock rife. always have
my profound respect. Our GRANDPA
theirs and great-grandfathers did their
hunting with them and used them In
our two victorious wars with England
They were always good weapons and
are now, IL they are equipped with Il
good stock and good lock. They
could do fine service. Any man who
was any sort Of marksman could do
effective work with them IN their day
This fact was well illustrated In an
incident that happened several years
ago near Richmond. The story was
printed In some OF the leading news
papers In Virginia and was the cause
of much interest.
"There was an old farmer residing In
one of the penlnsular counties who was
coming on the cars to Richmond and
had with him one of those old fash.
toned weapons. In the train he got
into conversation with small party
of gentlemen, who expressed much In
told Of some rather extraordinary feats
of craftsmanship that he had per-
formed with 1t.
FINALLY he was persuaded TO give
an exhibition of his skill with the old
relic, and trial came Off at Rockets
In the presence Of few gentlemen.
The old fintlock was fred seven times
and only missed the mark once. At
first the old man fired 1t at some small
objects--to get his hand steady, so he
said. Then the old fellow handed to
his son. who had every faith in his fa-
Tiers skill. large potato and sta
toned him at fifty yards distance,
holding the potato between his thumb
and forennger.
THE rifle cracked, and the potato was
split into several pieces. Another shot
was made at the bowl Of pipe which
the boy was smoking, and the bowl
was smashed. Several other shots
were made at various objects, but in
trying to hit copper cent that was
tossed In the air the marksman made
miss. He was considerably mortified
at this and laid the blame on by
stander who sneezed loudly at the crit
ical moment. but made another at
tempt, which was successful.

Their trials OF his skill and when offered
sum of money to repeat his feat Of
shooting potato from his sons hand
refused, saying he didn't care to exper-
iment any further unless his weapon
was freshly cleaned. The boy was
willing. but the old man was obdurate.

anxiety during the dangerous expert
