lMPoRrANT lNvESTIoN.-A Mir. Philips o London, has lately invented a fre-annhila- tor instantaneously exlinguishing fires by aerated vapor.n The principles says for eign Journal, are chemical and they proceed on facts deduced from considerations of the source of all power, chemical action. Fire, in the ordinary acceptatIon of the term, is phenomenon which results from the union Of oxygen, tis supporter of combustion hy- drogen, the element of flame, and carbon the element light. If the oxygenbe withdrawn the fire ceases. This the fire annihilaior ac complishes. A jet of peculiar gaseous va DOT, which possesses greater affinity for the oxygen of the air than tie oxygen has for the hydrogen and the carbon with which it is combined, is insiantanously generated by the machine, and thrown with extraordinary ra- pidity on the fire, which, being instantane- ously deprived of the supporter of combus- tion,' at once ceases. The extinction is so sudden that in the case of strong fire, which Mir. Philips '.put out'' on board vessel in the Thames, the operation did not occupy tone secondo and il was compared by the spectators to a s'flash oflightning." sH
