RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, witkout
either friction or faltering, therefore can never bs surpassed ; conse-
quently this is the most importrcit discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or cat Land.

AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac-
knowledge the glorloes results. Two testimonial extracts shall

" 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 beard, two seams la the bottom
being partly lett withmt calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump cheaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was is ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
with a thank God for the Fountabs Pump."

the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at tke outbreak if a fire.
"We are delighted with the invention—it is a great hoe* to so-
eiety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
ire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven maialy,
including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Hortoa's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and flour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in thus to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, 'which must have spread aroand de-
struction and death

North Walsharn.—At this fire 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."—Norfulk Chro-
nicle, August 12, 1846.

At a Norwich fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present
proved useless.

Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atatir
spheres.

Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, aid
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Dra. 'Young
and Mittel, with many other eminent experimenters. lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceet's half the power • consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world bad
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
is l; draulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, aid
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now 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 mere outlay.
Most mem can sustain heavy rapid, pump trials for 40 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 10,100 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,001 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage is gained ever perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Esq., 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 Felly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an-iguorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1.152, and in No. 416, 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 inveation the following true and glisten-
able eharacter:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried cut
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 ftet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to ISO barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.
