Not onlydoes it provide a building with continuous lines of pro-tection, but the sensitive wires themselves are so smallas to attract no more attention than ordinary housewiring. It may be laid along the moulding, across awindow or door, within the cornice, above the shelvesin a store, as in our illustration, without attracting theeye, or in any way interfering with the decorative fea-tures of the buildkig.
