Show A SHOCK TO THE MODERN BURGLAR. M B A unique idea in the improvement of large of- P flce buildings will be carried out in the construe- B tion of the five-story vault now on Its way from jB the East for the new Constitution office building B under the management of its owners, McGurriu & B Co., Investment Bankers. B Each of the five spacious floors will be pro- B vided with a fire and burglar proof vault, and for H this latter provision a contrivance that will baffle j H the most skillful manipulators, will be Installed. j In the air chamber surrounding each vault a H sheet of metal will be placed half way between ' H the outer brick walls and the outer wall of the H safe. Upon the closing of the vault for the night M an automatic arrangement connecting with elec- trie vires charges the sheet of metal with 1,500 , M volts of electricity, and after Mr. Burglar has j fl drilled through the brick wall, and the steel chisel fl strikes the next partition, instant electrocution will save the courts any further annoyance. Truly, a novel remedy for the festive purlolner j H of the other man's securities. I ' M |
