CUTS STEEL LIKE CHEESE. Invention That Renders Burglar- Proof Safes Useless. Washington, D.C, April ].--~When the statement was pubhshed that the { treasury department had decided there who no such thing as a burglar-proof wale the PEWE was received with mn credulity by eastern bankers and of ficials of safe deposit companies. Yet such is the fact. The ticasury depart ment will buy no more of the expen sive safes that for years have been supposed to be of sufficient strength to resist scientific burglars. It will in future adopt a system of automatic electric bells, and redouble the safe guards that can be provided by pri vate watchmen, one keeping check on the other, All of this is because there is no longer a hurglar-prooi safe, An in vention by Julius E. Haschke, a Chi cago electrician, will enable the man applying it to cut through the hard est steel plate as a boy with a knife wonld ent St. Lawrence commty cheese Armor plate, such as is used on the United States battleships, can be per forated as an anger would bite ite way through a plank of Northern pine. . Mr. Haschke calls his invention a carbon point, He did pot produce it for the purpose. of ang the dark lantern fraternity to open bank safes. His olyect was a means of entting steel and iron bars in the construc "tion of buildings, bridges, ete. But all the same, the burglar who gets into a bank with this apparatus, if he he an expert in its use can get ac cess to the strongest safe, between the hours of dusk and midnight; and pes sess himself of its contents.
