MIR. EDIToR,-I am much gratifed with the
appreciation of my Steam Fire-Proof Safe
which has been manifested by the business men
of Portland and with the good opinions it has
won from them in the recent trial. But there
are some inquiries which naturally arise in
their minds in regard to it, and which they
properly desire to have answered, and wishing
to favor all candid investigation 1 take this OPP
portunity to answer such questions as / have
heard asked. .ed ,,a- .syl
Suppose your safe falls when burning and
remains upon the side or top, will not the water
all escape and the steam protection cease?
No. A small return tube extending from the
valve to the centre of each vessel is its only
opening, and whichever side up the safe may
be, every vessel must remain half full of wa
ter, which is sufficient.
"But will not the valves be closed by pres
sure when the safe falls and cause an explo-
sion?" No. Every valve is protected by re-
cess in which it is placed ai
"Will the water dampen the safe?" No. 1t
is Theoretically sealed and cannot evaporate
till the steam opens the valves. .-3 ~ $50
"Will it freeze in winter" The same causes
that prevent safe from burning, prevent its
freezing. As usually expressed there is no
danger of freezing. But if exposed sufficiently
to make ice in the vessels, no harm will result,
for being of thin metal, aud having fat sides,
the expansion of the freezing water will not
strain them. ....Ir,t .
But will not this invention, if it is what
you claim that it is, ruin the business of other
safe makers?" Not unless it be their own fault.
My Improvement is applicable to all safes, and
1T is my purprse that all honorable safe-makers
shall have fair chance to use it. If 1 make a
demand for safes with the steam attachment,
shall only increase and benefit the business of
all manufacturers or dealers who choose to sell
this kind. .t .. tIs444 O. .,l
Any other questions which candid inquirers
may make, shall be happy to answer .a
Very respectfully, a -

Public Trial of Safes i'm Portland.

The undersigned having witnessed the trial
of E1re-Proof Safes made in Portland, this
day, March Z, A. D., 1867, certify as follows:
There were three safes burned; one of the
fremont Company's Marland's No. 6,
one of Tilton & McFarland's patent, No. 9,
and another of the same make and size con-
tanning Sanborn's Steam 1mprovement-all
new safes-and sheet-iron Trunk, 16x2O
inches, also containing SanbOrn's Improve
ment. Hft f -
These were all placed in a row, the two con-
tanning the Steam Apparatus, between the
other two. -93a 'h
Papers were placed in each of these Safes,
and in the Trunk, and the fire was lighted at
q IA o'clock in the morning and continued to
burn until 3o'clock in the afternoon
During the day many persons visited the
scene, but as the hour for opening the safes
drew near, the number increased rapidly, until
several hundred persons, among them many Of
our principal merchants and business men
were present.
At half-past five in the afternoon the trunk
and safes were opened in the presence of a large
number of citizens.
The trunk was opened first, and the contents
were all safe, not paper being singed or even
smoked. The water in the metallic tubes was
not exhausted, showing that steam could
have been generated for much longer time-
This test was considered most satisfactory, as
the box was imbedded in live Goals over eight
hours. .H t-
The Marland Safe, manufactured by the Ire
interior presented mass of charred wood !:
nothing was saved. -
Then the Tilton s. Mcfarland Safe, without
the steam apparatus, was opened, and the mo-
ment the doors swung back sheet of fire
broke out, and the whole interior was consum-
ed.
The last opened was Titon & Netherlands
Safe with Sanborn's patent attached The con-
tents of this safe were in perfect state of pre-
servation. Note paper aid cards were taken
from it and freely distributed among the spec
tators. The fire had not touched the insiTe OF
the safe, and the water in the tubes was not
exhausted.
This trial was conducted openly and fairly,
and It's results appeared to be eminently salts

Mr.. EDITOR ALLOW me through your col
umns to ask Mr. Sanborn question in rela-
ton to his Improved Steam Attachment for
Fire-Proof Safes.
AS understand his theory it is, that the
water becoming heated in the tubes creates
steam which throws off the cap OF valve from
the top of the tube. Now suppose, as is often
the case in the burning of building, the safe
falls into the cellar bottom up. As it becomes
heated within, and the tubes are uncapped
the water must of course all run out Of these
tubes at once, and become soon absorbed, thus
cutting off the supply Of steam that is to pro-
tect the contents of the safe. Then if this safe
is to remain in bed of red hot bricks for sew
eral days, as was the case in the great fire OF
of July 4th, or even for one day, as in an ordi-
nary fire, what advantage has it over any 9th
er kind of safe? Judging from the recent test
by fire. there is no doubt but Mr.. Sanbcrns
improvement is a great and perhaps sure pre-
ventive from burning, SO long as the safe is
right side up. But in the above superstition, it
is not so clear as to the result
