COFFIN TORPEDO. ; New Contrivance to I'rcvcnt tho Robbing; t; '"- of Grave. The coffin torpedo is the latest devico' to foil the grave robber. Of late years the practice of despoil ing graves has become so widespread' that every effort has been put forth to find sonio means to end it.

It is placed in the casket just: previous to. interment., and after it ia placed in position and tho lid of the casket screwed down, it will bo an cx cecdingly dangerous undertaking to at tempt to force tho casket open. Tfie lid. of the closed coffin presses down a. spring. Baising this lid, even in slight: degree, releases tho spring, aausing it' to strike a percussion cap. Tho result ing explosion of the cap also explodes the bomb, and, whilo the concussion would wrench the casket, it is almost impossible for tho person who is trying to open tho casket to escape instant, death.
