RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN PUMPS, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore eau never be surpassed ; conse-
queitly this is the 'nest important discovery ever made for the pre-
set valid' •flife and property either at Sea or on Lam'.

. .
AT SEA
numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains grateffilly ac-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall
sellice :
" Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted ii the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly lett wlth,nt calking."
" The Argus brig, front 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 Primp, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when ail arrived safely in Loudon,
with a thank God for the Fountain Pump."

ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a
fire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a tire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
elety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portable Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on
tire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
including ii the seven the Qtteen's Cavalry Barracks ; and In the
eleven, Meson. Horton's dyery, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and lour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder tFercin from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death: _ .

" North Walsham —At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
service, and by having one of them ready, there 13 no doubt but half
the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro-
nicle, August 22, 1846.
At a Norwich fire June 2, 1647, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they
Rill do the work, which proved true. The feu* large engines present
proved u3eless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
spheres.
Now the fact is this, all former Force Pnrnps, Lift-force Panms,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power aced, and pi ogressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young
and Hatter). with many other eleinent experimenters. lamented
thus :—Tice quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceejs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notw:thstanding the be-t engineers in the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydranlie machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
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 more outlay.
Most plea can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 41 seconds, but
some men drop at isinu;.e tin-c. With sheet new heavy working Fric-
tion Pamp en aotive soard-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high iu a minute. and with a Foun-
taM 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, Esq., in bls popular work, No. 1,110, did
well iu placing Gorset's French t'nmp Abortion (t!-,at slaps the water
upward) side by side with the Founimn Pump. which upset a good
deal of Folly. Beceuse Mr. Mullett, Dublin, r. thorough-bred pump-
maker, Mr. liaddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbunk, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the
two pumps were hieotical. But the Yankee out-fooled John 801 l
and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's
remarks are prefosterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Iherdeur, Hay, Parkington, Rith many other discerning men,
after witnessing tho peri'ect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the folio wing true and susta:n-
als!e character:—The Fountain Pumd is the most important improve-
trent in the art of ratting water the t has appeared within the last two
thousand years—the greatest advancement ix the useful ails in
modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are snccessfully carried oat
for private rnd public uses, at lifts below and above 160 feet altitude,
for man, hone, and steam power; deliv,ring from half a pint per
str.-ke 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 pimps.
