A shield which shuts down over a lock-key to prevent its being pushed out of the lock from the outside. In the example, a slotted escutcheon on the plate shuts over a flattened portion of the key-shank to prevent its being turned by an outsider. A pawl acts as a detent for the escutcheon. Key′hole-pro-tect′or. Mitchell and Lawton's English patent, 1815, has a revolving curtain for closing the keyhole. Key-guard. Day and Newell's parautoptic lock has a revolving ring or curtain, which moves with the key and shuts the hole, so that wires and tools cannot be introduced alongside the key. Mordan's keyhole protector (English), 1830, has a short pipe which, after the door has been locked, is thrust into the keyhole; attached to the pipe is a small lock so contrived that, on turning its key, two lancet

ted by a stud g working in the slot on the bolt shown at J. The sliders are provided with false notches to increase the difficulty which a burglar would experience in finding the position of the true ones. The key f has longitudinal slots corresponding in length to the distance which each slider must be depressed. I is an exterior view of the lock, and J shows the form of the bolt and the manner in which the rotation of the barrel is made effective in throwing the bolt. The patent of Mitchell and Lawton, 1815, embraced, among other devices, a revolving curtain for closing the keyhole. A detector which indicated if any of the tumblers had been overlifted was patented by Ruxton in 1816. In the same year, Kemp devised a lock whose sliders were operated by a set of small concentric tubes in the barrel of the key. Paper secured over the keyhole to indicate tampering was patented by Gottleib, 1829. At the present day, the aid of photography has been called into requisition

ated before, the enemy were most desirous of closing the upper part of the St. John's, to permit the transportation of small arms through the inlets of the peninsula, and for that purpose had erected a battery of seven Viii-inch and two IV 1/2-inch rifled guns on St. John's Bluff, some seven miles from the mouth of the river. Commander Steedman in the Port Royal suggested that a co-operating land force should be sent to secure the guns when silenced by the vessels under his command. General Mitchell, then in command at Port Royal, promptly sent a force under General Brannan, which was landed at a favorable point. The gunboats attacked the battery on the 5th of October, which led to the hasty abandonment of the works and the seizure of them by our troops. The armed steamer Darlington, captured, as the reader will remember, by Commander Rodgers at Fernandina, Lieutenant-Commander Williams, with Company E Forty-seventh Pennsylvania regiment on board, and the Hale, Lieutenant-Command
