Six dozen batteries are used to supply the clectricity. ' 1'he machincrv and wires are so constructed alid attached - tached that no part of the \'auUs or gongs can ue tampered with without turning in the alarm , which would set all the gong in connection therewith to going. There an' some ten of these j gongs or hells located in and out-I side of the building and when once started they will not stop until some one entcrs the \'auIt and hlrns 011" the electric cufrent. Another intercsting feature is that should the cashier forget to close the door at 10 o'clo k p. m. , tbe hour the timc lock is turned on. tbe current IS automatically turned on and the general alarm is until the l'ashicr kept up appears - pears and closes the \'auIt. When once closed , not even the cbashier can get into the vault for eight bours without turning on the alarm. We would judgc from the appearance of the machine - chine that the mechal1ic ! un is not difl cult to understan and that it will produrahlo and highly sa tisfactory. C. .
