Keokuk National Uses Most Modern
System in Safeguarding Property
Against Yeggmen's As
saulta.
GONG GIVES WARNING
Bell is Connected With Vaults and
Other Portion of Building Through
Open Circuit
Wires.

The vaults in the new Keokuk Ma
tional bank will be protected by one
of the most modern burglar alarm
systems that has been devised. The
alarm system will defy any tamper'
ing, even to the use of acetyiene
torches, and once the alarm Is set 1t
will not be possible for anyone TO
touch the mechanism Of the vault
without giving warning Of his pres
.ence. -
An alarm gong will be located on
the Fifth street side of the building,
connected with the vaults and with
various parts Of the new building.
Inside the vaults, along the walls. on
the floors and ceilings, is network
of wires through which an open cir
cult Of electricity is flowing. me
minute one of these wires is touched
or disturbed, the current Is broken
and the bell sounds its warning.
It will be impossible to bore
through the walls, ceiling or floor OF
the vaults, and an acetylene loren
which heats the door of the vault 10
the temperature of boiling water Will
cause the alarm to be set off. There
will be alarm buttons connected to
the same gong set III oIueT posiIioho
IN the bank, giving complete protec-
ton.
Once the alarm is set, it will not
be possible even for bank employees
to open the vaults or touch the
handles to move them one way or
another without the alarm bell ring
ing.
The vault doors will be protected
with steel and unburnable iron.
There will be a thickness OF eight
inches in the vault doors, and the
steel plates with the non-burnable
iron in between will make them
proof against the acetylene torch and
drill as we'll. Ill., -
The alarm bell on the Fifth street
side Of the building is so connected
that any tampering with it will set
st ringing its call for help. The sys-
tenn is the one that is in use by most
Of the banks in large cities and is
considered the most modern inven-
ton, against yeggs that has been de-
-vised.

storm, often of vast extent,
characterized by high winds rotating about calm
center Of low atmospheric pressure which moves
onward with a velocity of from 20 to 30 miles an
hour"
The tornado on the other hand, is funnel
shaped cloud like a water-spOut, sand-column or
dust-whrl, with very violent and destructive ed
dies and whirls Of wind progressing on narrow
path for many miles over land The wind Is too
violent to be measured and the barometrlc pres
sure falls so rapidly that wooden structures are
often lifted and burst open by the air within
them"
But Kansas calls them cyclones. SO cyclones
they shall be here. For once upon a time not
very long ago, the east thought Kansas grew cy-
clones or made them or produced them-whatever
the right word is
"To the early settlers of Kansas coming as
they did from distant eastern states where such
phenomena almost unknown, these storms
were one of the wonders Of country, to be
told over and over to visitors and sent special
items of news to papers that gave them wide pub
ucity,' says S. d. Flora, Kansas meteOroiOgst.
"1he result has been that the expression Kansas
cyclone has become almost idom of the Ian
guage and the reputation of the state for vista
t,ns of these storms Is greater than that of any
other part of the country, when a matter Of
fact there is no to believe, in the light Of
available data, they are any more numerous here,
area considered, than in any other states In this
part of the country"
Anyway, Kansas became "the cyclone state"
and the thing eventually became such scandal
that soon after the Civil war Uncle Sam decided
to investigate and sent out army officer to trail
the cyclone to its lair. The report cf this nveSu-
gator is still among the dusty archives Of the
United States weather bureau. II contains facts
both of scientific and popular interest
For example he tells about the woman who lost
her hair. He says she was a woman with eNcep-
tionally long hair that the storm cut or tore
most of this hair from her head, twisted it into
rope and left it lying her while the hair left
upon her head was tightly curled into many little
wisps filled with sand.
1t was the same cyclone, according 10 this ON
cial report, that bore down upon a large house
exceptionally well built Of logs and heavy native
timbers hit one corner of 1t a resOunding whack
veered off, whired out around the barn and at
tackled the house from the opposite side, dissipat-
ing II over the landscape thoroughly that much
OF It was never seen again.
He describes trees in which sand had been driv-
en- entirely through the bark into the wood of the
tree And this was not merely on one side of the
trunk but around its entire circumference. In
another place he found trees still standing, but
stripped Of every particle of their bark.
So YOU see for a beginner, this official inyestl-
gator did pretty well,
