Mr.. THOMAS,
HAVE the goodness TO publish in
your Gazette, the following observations
They are the result of experiments made
to stop fires.
am with respect, sir, your very obedi.
ent servant,
De Carycndt6es.
The affecting scene of a horrible FIRE
which has just passed under the eyes of the
inhabitants of this city, has induced me to
make known to the public the means which
have been employed in Europe, to prevent
the like disasters.
In the year 1880, FIRE threatened to
consume the town CT D'Orebro, in Sweden.
Mr.. Won AIKEN having at hand dissoIu-
,ion ofsulphate oi'iron (green vitroD and
alan, thought of making use OF tito ex.in-
guish the FIRE; the effcct was complete, and
the town was SAVED. New experiments On
a large scale, made at Ortb,o and Stock
holm, Rave confirmed the value of the dis.
eov,ry.
Since that period, the celebrated signior
Fabbroni, has published in the '25th num-
her of the Literary Journal of Naples, the
details OF composition given by Mr.. Won
AIKEN the results Of whitk has been crown
ed with suce:ss.
RECEIPT. lbs.
Burnt alum, so
Sulpbate of iron in powder, 40
Rcd oxide of iron in powder or ocire, 90
Pot clay or other clay in powder, 200
Common water, $50
With 40 gallons OF this mixture, three
persons extinguished an artificial FIRE, under
the direction of its author, which would
have required 20 men and 1900 gallons
common water. Mr.. Fabbroni was named
to Examine The effect of this invention and
found that the comparative effects with. the
fire engine Of an equal force, and worked
or directed by the same number oe hands
with common water were scarcely sensible,
while the mixture ex.inguished the materi-
ais in combustion in = lapse Of time six
times less, and three eighths less Of the au-
I'd, than when common water was employ
The advantage of this discovery is per-
haps extended in this manner The saline
particles envelope the bodies in combustion
and form akind of luting or paste, which
stops the curren. Of air, and of course the
combustion.
What now bring forward to the public,
is not, perhaps unknown to the enlightened
men of this city but of what service are
the most useful discoveries, if left in for
getfulness II is for those who watch over
the public safety to put in practice Whatever
may contribute thereto above all, when
experience has demonstrated the value of
it.
The philosophy of our days has learnt US
TO know the nature of the bodies which SUR
round US. Water, for example, which
plays SO great par. in all the phenelnena
