TOWER OF LONDON.
The Perfect System by Which Its 7 Treasures Are Guarded.

4she TeIIeCt system pY WnIch Ite
 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 othez etlaces known only to a few respon. sable officials the whole Tower c3n be closeds selecyically within a few sec ends. sEv.' the ponderous gates at the middle tower. which weigh some tons and trough which visitors pass swing to auroma atically, 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 tue 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 . 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 Tower official. From where l am standing l could close every important door and gate fin the Tower in as short time as it takes to. utter these words"
 It was mainly to insure the safety of theAcrown jewels that the system r No order had been issued for the closing of the Tower on recent Sat urd&y when, greatly to their alarm, ,8 the visitors found doors locked. bolted lAand barred against them for about ten minutes, preventing any one leaving the Tower.
 "The Tower simply closcd-that is an," remarked an official. Who caus- ed it to do so we do not know. It might have been Scotland Yard. where the pressing of a button would inn prison every soul within tbe Tower un. til tha police gave the signal for their release, or it might have been the governor, anxious to learn whether we was none of the minor oE.clals
 "In fact. who closed the Tower and why is secret known orly to the highest authorities There was no alarm, no attempt to seize the crown dewels."-London Mail
