1 FIRE ANEInILAToR.-Ada s. CO., Of this
city, received by the last arrival of the Pacific
two of these machines for extinguishing fire.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Sandford we had
the, privilege of examining them yesterday.
They are about the size of an ordinary coal
scuttle, made of sheet iron composed of num-
ber Of cylindrical cases within one another,
weighing about twenty pounds, and easily han
died by any person.
We copy from the London Times an account
of an experiment on q vessel on fire. before
committee appointed by the Queen to witness
it. L .4 g,
"An interesting experiment was tried yes
terday with Phillipss Annihilator. The Wear,
of150 tons, was freighted with tar barrels,
sugar hogsheads, and other combustible mate
rails. Soon a dense smoke was seen issuing
from every corner, affording sufficient proof that
the fire was increasing under deck. After
fifteen minutes the matches were opened, and
a much greater flame than one would wish to
witness at sea burst forth. Now came the time
to put it out On signal from Mr.. Phillips,
two machines were brought forward, looking
like iron watering pots, and the gaseous con-
tents poured down literally upon the flames.
The effect was soon visible. The fire was grad
ually reduced, and in ten minutes was extin-
guished"
When we consider the immense sacrifice Of
life and property by fire, we cannot but consider
this most valuable discovery. They are very
simple, easily operated, and what is better, (for
the milion) cheap and portable. Mr.. Sanford
intends to make trial soon with his machines,
when we shall be happy to lay the result before
our readers. s.--Phila Pennsytodnian.
