SAFER THAN ANY STEEL VAULT
Bank Of England Lowers Its Bullion
Into Well at Close Of Business
Each Day.

In one sense the Bank Of England
is the safest bank in the world. It's
unique protection is due to an artesi-
an well in the bank. This well sup
plies the bank with it's water indie
pendently Of the rest Of the city 1t is
400 feet deep and supplies 1000 cubic
feet of water an hour.
The bullion department, which holds
the tngots of precious metal, is nightly
submerged in several feet of water
by the action Of special machinery.
Anyone attempting to rob the bank,
then, must be an expert swimmer and
diver. In the morning the water is
pumped away and the ingots are read
lily accessible again.
However, the water still protects the
other departments Of the bank. It's
supply is almost unlimited, the bank
knows, and its protection is practical
ly absolute when it is used. The bank
has very delicate machinery arranged
so that even the lifting of a coin from
pile will release a catch which, in
turn, releases supply Of water.-De-
troit News.
