No. (he smallest size) is valr able for extinguish-
ing fires in chimneys and small apartments.
No. 2 is used with effect in larger buildings, and
at the outset of fire, and has the advantage of being
the most portable of the sizes deemed available for
houses.
Nos. 3, 4, and are the hand machines of grea ter
power. No. can be carried by lady. Nos. and
can only be handled to advantage by man, and
are preferable for large establishments they may
be effectively used for street fires.
In addition to the hand-machines, there street
or district annhators mounted upon wheels, and in
tended to be drawn by iremen in the usual manner.
These machines are possessed of continuous power,
and will emit through hose steam of vaper upon
burning building for any desirable length of time
The portable machines are so simple in construc-
on that they not liable to get of order and
their application is easy that any person may effec
tually use them. The chemical charges may be pre-
served any length of time. These machines furnish
an lntabe protection against the destructive conse
quences of fire, they always ready for constant
use, and contain within themselves the certain
of eXtingushing accidental fires soon as discover
ed. The fire annhator is made to evolve humid
vapor, and to emit it with great expansive fore,
to penetrate nto to search and to extnguish the
fire; but while the vapor emitted is destructive to
fire, II is nnoxious to life, and even tends to purify
an atmosphere charged with smoke; does it in
jure tine furniture goods which may have escaped
the action of the fire. The merits and practical ui
ly OF the patent fire annlhiator have been thorough
ly tested, and acknowledged by the most emf
nent scientific men. and the machines have been by
Victoria the Crystal Palace of the Worlds Fair, the
mansions of the nobility the principal manu- factories
in Great Britain and France, the theatres. churches,
and other public edces, besides steamboats,, ship
ping, &c.
AS these machines-and especially the chemical
chaIges-can only be manufactured in very large
quantities and by the aid of complicated and extern
sive machinery, machines will be ready for deliv-
cry before the 9th day of October, from which date
arrangements have been made to manufacture and de-
liver large number of machines per day.

be opened the Office for the reception of subscrip-
tons for machines. and every person will be served
in regular rotation, according his priority Of aPpli

time of subscribing, and per cent. interest will
be allowed on any time (if any that said money re-
mains ten days before the order is supplied. In
this arrangement, however, priority will be given
to all city corporations and propretors OF large cotton

exist and where the premium required for insurance
is high also to theatres hotels and large steamers
where many human lives are jeoparded. Every ma
chine will be stamped with the name of the company
and date of the patent; and as the company are de-
dermined to accommodate the whole public by sup
plying machines of the most durable material and the
chemical charges of the most approved manufacture at
the above reasonable prices, they will prosecute to
the extent of the law all attempts 10 initiate coun-
terfeit. infringe on said PATENT as we'll as every
person who may purchase and such Infringe

having them in possession will be prosecuted.
Each machine will be stamped with the name of
the State, the county. city, for which they are
sold and they be used in other locality With
out written permission from the agency. Nor can
any purchaser of machine possess the right 10 sell
the in other town. unless he has previously
purchased the right of the territory where said ma
chine is to be sold. Every purchaser of machine
will receive certificate authorizing him to use the
same in the town for which it is purchased.
Parties be supplied, postage free, with PAM
phets containing accounts of numerous experiments
and accidental fires, proving the utility of these
chimes. by enclosing four threecent postage stamps
