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

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

" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountalu
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argas brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days oat
at sea, and soon after her common pump cheaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun-
tain Pinup, 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 Le Fountain Pump."

ON LIND
the New Portable Fire-engines are if infinitely better service than a
ire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a Are.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boil to so-
clety."—Rditors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion •f
Norwich iron destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
ire In aid near the city, they saved eleven solely 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 pre-
perty ; Stoke mustard, starch, and lour 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 &mud de-
struction and death.

" North Waltham.—lt this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there is no doubt bat half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 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 atmo-
spheres.
Now the fast is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-tiftlis of the
power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus —The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeCs 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 low 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 risen can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seeonds,:but
some men drop at minute time. With a best now heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an active sound-winded young man if 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water ono foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain rump 9,008 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continued and most
extraordinary literally, advantage is gained over perpetual and anl-
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 Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. liaddley, 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 iu 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 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 Consammation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and plane uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 105 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
at less cost than common pumps.
