EXPRAIIIINTII IN TEN MANSH3B.-031 Saturday Mr.
Phillips, the inventor and patentee of a mode of extirguish•
log fires by the employment of carbonic acid and nitrogen
gmes, which is sow well known to the public, attended at
the prlcticit range, in the Plumstead Mambas, to exhibit the
working of Ms him/Mien. The Marquis of Atglesey,
Master General of the Ordnance, Lord Drouultsm, and a
groat number of distinguished persons attended to witting
the experiment. It will be remembered that some months
aloes, Mr. Phillips tried his experimenta on a small build-
ing which he was allowed to erect in the range, and that
them allowing the fire to take too great hold of the building,
he failed to extinguish it, and the building was totally con-
sumed. Oa the present occasion be had been allowed to
met a tolerably large and sabstantial wooden house, which
was stored with furniture, consisting of deal chain and
table, cheap mattresses, tto. All thiags being ready, some
embastible materials were placed Miele the house and
fired. The hest soon cracked the windows, and thus by
allowing the free admission of air, neutralised the power of
the gases employed in the process, rendered all attempts to
subdue the filmes vain, and notwithmanding active efforts
on the part of the inventor, the whole building was soon
wrapped in a sheet of flame, and ere many minutes had
elapsed, ths destruetioa of the building wee inevitable.
There wee a general feeling of regret ex,tressed on the part
of all present, at the failure of the experiment.
