which cannot fail to arrest the attention of the

FIRE ANNIHIIAroR.-W c ind that the newspapers,
both III tins country and III England are paving great
attention to tins modern miracle. Several al the

Indeed. If citizens VIII universally provide them
selves with one OF these small machines, no Such
thing destructive fire need ever occur, wherea,
now the ansual destruction of property IN the United
states is estimated at $5,00O000, and the amount OF
| property insured Is $200,OO0,OOO.
The engagements of the Patentee IN England can
no; much longer permit HIM 10 withhold the benefits
OF thus Patent from this country As by very proper
provision IN Patent Laws any foreigner obtain

the United states, within eighteen months alter the
date OF his grant. or the same becomes forfeit

tanned his patent IN Washington, and therefore, with

IN tins country. In California alone, TINS machine

the civilized world, fire Is most destructive ele'

pald lot insurance must be several times tins sum
and vet our loss by FIRE Is considerable Nearly all
tins expense can be saved by The Annlhllstors As
all can see who read the evidences of fits powers.
We consider this subject OF such vast and unlver-
sal Importance that we shall Immediately lay before
readers the evidences OF Its complete utility, as
! published IN the London papers, where repeated ex
| perimeniS have been made BY firing buildings and
where hundreds OF thousands OF dollars have already

We perceive that the Common Council ol CleYe-

This system Will doubtless be adopted by all our
cities, owns and villages, rs well rs by the United
States Government.
