RAISING WATER, discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
quently this is tke most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.

AT SSA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains grateffilly ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
suffice :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two scants in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God. for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
Are brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak eta fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—lt is a great boon to so-
ciety."—liditors Liverpool Mail.
The New PortaVe Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
Are in and near the city, they saved eleven ,olely and seven mainly,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Herten's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, a,lel flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death. _ .

" North Walsham.—At this tire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt but half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—.l%.iorfylk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Nerwieh fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feel, the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The Isar large eu,inc. prose .t
paved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo.

spheres.
Now the net is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps arc bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters. lamented
thus : The quantity or water actually raised by any machine seldom
excee,-s half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are Row both annihilated by
the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 41 seconds,:but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esi., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
well in placing Gosset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Fountain pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy lu No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Hay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain.
able character:—The Fountain fumy is the most important improve-
ment in the art of rasing water that kas appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement is the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 103 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps,
