DIMENSIONS.

Of 14 graduating sizes, suitable for all purposes, from
30s. to £l4 each ; for additional inner chamber, doubling
toe tuicanesb, u.. 1 'dewing 'me iebibtaug puwer pCI
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 Polytechnic Society : see Mr. Samuel Woods,
jun. pamphlet " On the Preservation of Documents from
Fire," &c. Ste. &c.
The patentees have certificates from parties whose books
have been preserved by the boxes in fires on their pre-
raises.
In the late fire in George-street, Manchester, nine out
of ten houses lost their books in their iron safes.
C AUTION.—None are genuine but such as have Milners'
patent plates upon them, with the date " sealed 1840."
