STEAM FIRE ENGINE.

In the last number Of that excellent weekly
publication, the :. American Rail Road Journal y
there is model Of Steam Fire Engine. called
the Comet, which has been built in London tor
the King Of Prussia. An experiment recently
made. proved very satisfactory to the friends OF
the invention. a pipe Of one and quarter inch
diameter was attached to the machine, and the
water was carried from ! Is to 100 feet. 1t makes
eighteen strokes per minute, and throws one ton
and seven hundred and thirteen pounds OF water
each minute. The greatest objection to this ma
chine is the length Of time it will take to get the
engine ready for operation, which, we learn, is
about half an hour.
