BIIILLIANCY AND ECONOMY IN LIGHT.

THE PURE VESTA SPIRIT. FOR THE VESTA,
PARA.GON, D OTHER
ArANUFACTUREDAN BY JOHN TALLLAMPS
-AND CO ,
6, NORTH WALLS, HULL.

VERY great improvements having been effected in this
Rectified Spirit, it can with confidence be recom-
mended as possessing qualities decidedly superior to any
manufactured. It combines the advantages of cleanliness
and economy, with perfect freedom from smoke or smell ;
and, whilst it imparts a most brilliant light, one lam],
being equal to at least twelve wax candles, the wick does
not require to be cut more than once a week.

The following statement of the analysis of Dr. Ure
affords a complete verification of its excellent properties :
Report of an experimental examination of the Vesta
Lamp Spirits; as Manufactured by Messrs. John Tall
and Co., of Hull ; bg ANDREW URE, M.D.,
P.R.S., Professor of Chemistry.
" London, 13, Charlotte-street, Bedford-square,
" 19th September, 1844.
These Spirits are the lightest and purest which I have
ever met with in commerce ; having a specific gravity of
onlv 0.865 at 62° Fahr., whereas the Spirits of the London
chops have a specific gravity of 0.874 or more ; that of
water being 1000.
" The comparative lightness of the Spirits indicate their
fine quality. Messrs. Tall's Spirits when distilled have
no residuum, whereas the Spirits generally on Sale leave a
quantity of Resin. In consequence of the freedom of
hessis. Tall's Spirits from this and other impurities I
ye lighted my drawing-rooms w
ceith their flame during
Teveral"hours for five evenings sucssively, without bar-
;ll,g the wick of the lamp trimmed, and without its occa-
"Log the slightest nuisance.

PROTECTION FROM ACCIDENTAL OR INCEN
DIARY FIRES.

London and Birmingham Railwav Office,
Euston Station, Bth April, 1844.

I am instructed to send the enclosed report of
Li the results of the public experiments on your Fire-
resisting Boxes and Safes, at the Camden Station of this
Company, which vas authorised by the Directors to be
made under the immediate superintendence of their own
officers; and to congratulate you on the complete success
of the very severe trials by which you have allowed your
adniirableinvention to be tested.
I am, sirs, your obedient servant,
R. CREED, Secretary.
Messrs. Thomas Milner and Son, Liverpool.

_Patents for England, Ireland, and Scotland, sealed 1840.
MILNERS' NEW PATENT
FIRE-RESISTING DEED, PLATE, AND CASH
BOXES, BOOK SAFFS, AND GNPOWDER
MAGAZINES, &c., &c., •
WARRANTED TO BEAR MORE H EAT, WITHOUT INJURY
TO THEIR CONTENTS, THAN ANY OTHERS OF EQUAL
DIMENSIONS.
Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
the thickness, and trebling the resisting power 50 per
cent, more each size.
The Chambers within Milners' Boxes and Safes con-
tain the best Chemical non-conductor of heat, and Tubes
imbedded therein filled with alkaline fluid, which escapes
into the non-conductor whenever Fire reaches the Box
and heats it to the boiling point, steaming the chambers
and contents, neutralizing in the latent heat of the steam
1000 degrees of heat, keeping down the temperature, and
preventing ignition.
From every pint of fluid in the Chamber is slowly dis-
charged into and condensed in the contents of the Box
upwards of 200 Gallons of Steam, of more certain avail
in saving the Papers than tons of water thrown into a
burning building with the same object.
The advantage of this principle, embracing " the exclu-
sive use of any material evolving moisture on the applica-
tion of heat," over every other description of Box or Safe,
is the advantage that Water has over every thing else in
quenching Fire.
An Iron Safe of one inch in solid thickness exposed to
red heat will char papers within it in fifteen minutes, and
remain a burning prison for them for hours afterwards.
Milner's Fire-resisting Principle has been investigated,
tested in Red Heat from One to Twelve Hours, in various
thickness, from 1 to 6 inches, and approved by the au-
thorities and scientific and practical men, in the leading
towns of the three kingdoms.
Under the auspices of the Royal Dublin Society and the
Liverpool Polvlrchnlc Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from
Fire," &c. &c. &c.
The patentees have certificates from parties whose books
have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre-
mises.
In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out
of ten houses lost their books in their iron safes.
CAUTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners'
patent plates upon them, with the date " sealed 1840."
