ELECTRICAL BURGLAR DEVICE. The holding up of the Bank of New Amsterdam in daylight less than a year ago caused bank officials in this city to take extra precautions to avoid similar experiences. One bank which is a de pository for large amounts has an nounced its intention to spend some of its larg? surplus for new electrical de vices to protect it from daylight hold ups and midnight burglars. It was stat ed last week that expert electricians have arranged an invincible system ui burglar alarms adapted to all sorts -of contingenciiS. Every window and door is connected with burglar alarm com panics, and so are certain squares in the floor.

It is even asserted that in front of the vault door there is skillfully con cealed a spring gun charged with buck snot, and that the enterprising burglar who had successfully made his way to the vault would be rid.lled thrre before he could get any booty. These are some of the safeguards against burglars who work after office hours, and the bank is equally well protected in the day time. There are e'eotric buttons in various iparts of the bank so arranged that if an officer is confronted by a revolver and ordered to throw up his hands he may oboy and at the same time give an alarm by stepping on an electric birtton the floor. Every bank and safe deposit company New York is now pro-tectel by various electrical devices, in addition to its night watchmen. New York Sun.
