BURGLARS BEWARE
Deep below the foundations of Wall Street in New York a treasure-house is being sunk which is to be protected by a surrounding wall of water.
The treasure-house will be of three stories, and the water round it will be fifty feet wide.
Any burglar who wished to reach it would have to charter a diving bell or equip himself with. one of the new deep-water diving suits with oxygen apparatus. Even then his way would not be easy. If he passed the walls of water he would have to pierce other walls of steel, and the task of getting away with the booty would present him with new problems.
For the officiate and its owners there are other way? of entrance and exit to the vault —a funnel with pumps and stir locks. It is an idea as strange as any in the Arabian Nights.
