PrOtecti0n Against Fire.

The PRESS few days since contained an ar
ticle descriptive of a new invention, designed
to protect roofs of buildings against fire.
On the invitation of the inventor, Hon. E. S.
Tobey, our committee on Fire Department were
afforded special exhibition of its operation in
Boston ON Wednesday last. The building to
which the invention is now permanently at
tached is known as the Congregational House,
corner of Beacon and Somerset Streets and
from the large size of its roof, afforded a very
satisfactory display of the merits of the inven-
tion.
The flow of water upon the Ioof is regulated
by the firemen on the sidewalk, and in case the
usual pressure should be insufficient, it is SO
arranged that steam fire engine may be at
tached and the water forced to the roof in
few moments. On the occasion referred to- by
ordinary pressure, in less than four minutes the
water completely covered the roof in a continu-
Gus flow, and falling over the sides of the build
ing gave protection also to the window-slls and
wood work beneath.
The inventor claims that by this means roofs
of any description, and even domes can be
effectually protected.
The committee express themselves as highly
pleased with the exhibition, as demonstrating
to their satisfaction the practical value of the
invention. There were present on the occasion
other gentlemen representing the fire depart
ment and insurance interests of Boston and
New York, who testified to their appreciation
of the invention by many lighly favorable ex-
pressions.
We understand that the invention is to be at
once applied to the City Hall, Public Library
and other public buildings in Boston.
In view of these facts it would seem to be
the duty of our city government to consider
this subject with a view to its adoption here
The people of Portland certainly need not be
reminded of the danger to which we, in COM
mon with all cities, are exposed Many who
read this can remember when large contia
grafton was the event Of decade, but now it
has become semi-annual sensation; and the
probability is that great fires will continue to
occur until some great change is made in the
construction of buildings, and especially of
roofs, or improved means are more largely
adopted for extingushing and preventing the
spread of fire. But our chief source of danger
lies in the unprotected roof, Especially if built
of pine covered with tarred paper,) for when a
fire gets there, if gale is blowing, confagra-
tion is as certain to result as any effect follows
from a cause.
The invention above referred to certainly
meets this danger by a complete protection of
that which in general is the least accessible
part of a building; and we are sure it is worthy
of the immediate attention of our City Gov
ernment and citizens generally.

Current Notes.

OuAlCut NVtCSs
Pterodaetyles are valued at $50 an inch by
Prof. Agassiz. At this rate they are about as
profitable a crop as can be ERASED. The soil
OF Maine is said to be especially adapted to
the production of this delicious edible in
large quantities, and we advise our farmers
to turn their attention to its cultivation.
Among other advantages it has that of being
singulary free from rot and from the
ravages of worms and insects. There
appears to be no danger that the SUD-
ply will exceed the demand,-at least
for some time to e---,and the profita-
bleness of the crop does not admit OF a
doubt. Indeed, it seems the very thing to re-
store the waning agricultural fortunes of our
good old State. 1t is only giving due credit
to state that the above item emanates from
our new agricultural editor, whom we already
look upon as valuable acquisition to the
PRESS.
California attributes its unheathiness and
mortality to All Sin and his people. 1t is a
matter of general belief with the Inhabitants
of Frisco that no man ever died other than
violent death in that city until the Chinese
began to come over, and they sigh with
deep love-longng for the good old
times when every man who went to the
''other shore" started with his boots on.
The health officer of the city publishes Stats
ties which go to show that the death rate is but
nineteen in every thousand,a rate much lower
than that Of any city in the world of the same
size. But he strongly intimates that death
would be unknown on the Pacific slope were
the Chinese absent.
When asked his views en- C@sarism Mr..
Joe Johnstone proudly drew himself mp and
said his views were of no account as he was
not citizen of the United States. We doubt
if he has more reason to be proud than has
the country.
''Worcestor sauce" is what the New York
| Herald calls the Massachusetts, resolutions.
Gen, Butler says that's a cond:ment he never
did think much of and finds it doubly unpal-
atable now.
Booth, not the tragedian, but the Californ-
ian, looms up as possible presidential candi-
date on an anti-railroad and farmers rights
platform. The world is Indebted to the Gin
cinnati Commercial for the suggestion.
An item is going the rounds of the exchang-
es to the effect that young man was recent
ly discharged from Auburn prison who had
earned S400 by overwork during his confine-
ment, and yet a subsidized press have no COM
plant 10 make against his discharge. 1t is
not denied thai he was an able, faithful, and
obedient workman, intelligent beyond the av
erage; nor are any charges of dereliction from
| duty brought against him. TIE shameful
fact remains that he was discharged for polit
| ical reasons alone. The servile hireIings of a
base administration turned this worthy young
man out of employment because he openly
opposed the candidacy of Gen. Butler, and
boldly avowed that were he a citizen of
Massachusetts, he should oppose him to the
bitter end. Shame on such subserviency as

Concerning Advertising,

We had occasion some days since to critcise
the management of the State Fair on account
of the limited amount of advertising done tor
tion as to the programme of the Fair, the
means of access to 1.-THE provision for the con-
veyance of goods intended for exhibition and
the premiums assigned to the several classes
of articles. We have published for some
months one square advertisement contain
ing simply an announcement ofihe time of the
Fair and the gross amount Of premiums. This
is good as far as it goes but the people seek
more detailed information and the interests of
the Fair demand more extended announce
ments. The argus and one or two other
journals of minor circulation poke little
good natured fun at us for crticising the judg
ment of the managers on the question of ad
vertising, when we were ourselves publishing
their notice. To relieve the agitation of these
journals we now explicitly approve the taste
of the management in their selection of me-
dium for reaching the people, while we con-
demn them for not doing more of good
thing
gives, also, an opportunity TO invite the scru-
tiny of advertisers. as Fall business is opening,
to the comparative desirability of the various
advertising mediums which are offered them.
The fact that the PRESS has long had very
much the largest cir. ulation of any daily pa
per in Maine,is well understood by intelligent
advertisers; we wish 10 call special attention
to the large increase of this disparity during
the past year in which our circulation has
made remarkable advance,-so much in
deed as will compel us shortly to procure a
new press of double the speed of our present
one, although this was purchased new less
than two years ago. This announcement will
be gratifying to our friends, but it has prac-
teal interest to those who propose to adver-
tise.
Another point important to advertisers is
the class reached by the journal through which
they address The public. The PRESS is read
by the best class of people both in the city
and suburbs and throughout the state This
is the class most desirable to reach by any ad-
vertisement which we would take. The char
acter, standing and reputation of journal
influence also the effectiveness of advertise
ments contained in it, and on these points we
appeal with confidence to the public judg-
ment. Our advertisements are clearly and
distinctly printed, well classified, carefully
scrutinized and the grossly Objectionable rig
idly excluded; all which is to the advantage
of those accepted.
The judicious advertiser will deliberately
consider all these points and will conclude
that the lowest price does not always imply
the cheapest advertising. Some of our neigh
bors having rather incautiously opened the
subject, we welcome the opportunity to invite
scrutiny of which we can avail ourselves, un-
der these circumstances, without the appear
ance of seeking to oppress smaller and weak
er journals.
