FRIEND OF THE FAMILY.
SAVANNAH, AUGUST 17, 1850.
Poor Ireland.
W hat heartrending descriptions of suffering are
daily recorded of this oppressed and wretched
portion of the human family, descriptions which
we would fain hope are fearfully exaggerated, hut
are compelled tocredit. Existing in poverty the
most squa;id and abject, ground down by oppres
sion of the most repugnant and ui.paralelled char
acter, and crushed in spirits,they are still presented
to out mind, with no available means in their own
power, to better such a condition, and not the
smallest hope of any alleviaiion of their wrongs
and sufferings at the hands of their oppressors.
W ould that it were otherwise, that there were
not only hearts to Feel and sympathise, and thus
pass on, but such as (like the good Samaritan,)
would stop to pour in the wine and oil of con
solation as well as hind up the wounds inflicted
by the iron hand of tyranny, thus dissipating the
present impenetrable gloom that pervades their
horizon, and avert their impending utter ruin.
Thus alone can their sufferings be mitigated and
their hitherto redressless wrongs experience re
lief, active and appropriate measures in their be
half can alone eff ct the change, which the silent
sympathies of many hearts, must ever fail to
yield.

The Fire Annihilator.
Mr. Charles Dickens, in a late number of his
magazine entitled “ Household Words,” gives the
following description of experiments of Mr. Phil
lips the inventor of tho Fire Annihilator:
The wooden frame-work of a house, with
ground Boor, and first and second floor presented
its front. It was black and charred from recent
fire, with sundry repairs of new planks, which
‘‘brought out” the black of the rest, both without
and within, to the greatest advantage. Level
with the lowest window was a sort of Lecturers’
stage of rough planks at the back of w hich lay
the model of a ship’s hull, some six or seve:: feet
in length; and to the right of this the model of a
house, with lower and upper floor, of about two
feet and a half in height.
The hold of the vessel was full of patent fire
wood, for the rapid kindlii g of fire, each sepa
rate piece being sufficient to light an ordinary fire.
In the model house, in addition to a quantity of
patent firewood laying on both floors, a trap door
was left open -*n the roof to allow of the escape
of the smoke.
The larger building in which the experiment
was to be tried, is thus described “ a dark cham
ber filled with charred planks, pitch planks, cross
pieces of new wood, blackened beams, and a va
riety of festoons, and hangings made of shavings
saturated with coal-tar, resin, and turpentine. —
A stair case, Or rather a broad charred ladder, led
up to the first floor, w..ich was filled with the
same combustible material. A second charred lad
der formed a staircase loading to the top floor :
but this was dilapidated and rotten from recent
burning, that it would not bear the weight of a
man.”
After giving the description of the building,
he goes on to say —
“ Mr. Phillips now ascerdcd the platform and
commenced his brief lecture. He said he had
no sou of intention to undervalue the real service
of water in cases of lire, but only to show that
water was by no means the most efficient agent. —
The more active part of fire was flame ; all fire
commenced with flame, and upon this, when at a
great, height, water in any portable quantities,
was comparatively powerless. Moreover, there
were many materials, forming the staple commod
ity of various trades, whicii being ignited, not only
defied the power of water, but their state of com
bustion was actually increased by the application
of water. This was the case with oil or turpen
tine, when on fire, with tar, gas, ardent spirits,
&c. Every distiller must know this —and so must
every sugar baker.
In illustration of his last remark, Mr. Phillips
called upon his audience to imagine the hull of
the model ship to be a ship at sea with a large
crew, many passengers, and a valuable cargo on
board —part of this cargo consisting of highly
combustible materials. The ship takes fire ! The
alarm is given, all hands called on deck, the fire
engine got out. the pumps set to work ! But be
fore this has been done, it happens that a cask of
spirits of turpentine has taken fire ! (So saying,
Mr. Phillips seis light to a quanti y of spirits of
turpentine in an iron vessel in the ship.) The
flames rise lapidly ! terrifically—they ascend the
fore rigging, which being all tarred, is quickly in a
blaze! Nowall is dismay and confusion, more
especially among the passengers. Some of these
however, retain sufficient presence of mind to be
able to assist the sailors in pumping. They
drench the ship with water, —they pour a contin
ual stream from the engine upon the flames of the
turpentine! (At these words Mr. Phillips dips a
jug in a bucket of water, and pours it upon the
flames.) But it only increases them—(it did so)
—more water is dashed upon the flames by the
men (Mr. Phillips suits the action to the word)
and by the boldest of the passengers, but with no
better result. Now, the fire communicates with
a second barrel of spirits turpentine ; the flumes
rise on all sides, and ascend writh a continuous
rpar to the riggingof the mainrqpsr, which is rap -
idly in a blaze. (The model ship is literally all
in a blaze.) In despair and madness, buckets of
water are flung at random—nobody knows what
he is doing ; all rush wildly about, preparing to
leap overboard at the very moment they scream
lou lest for the boats !—the boats !—when an in
dividual suddenly recollects as by a flash of
thought, that there is a machine on board called a
Fire Annihilator. ( Here Mr. Pnillips seizes upon
a small brass machine, out of whieh he causes a
white vapor to issue.) In a second or two the
flames are half extinguished ; he carries the ma
chine to the other flaming mast, and to the casks
in the forehold—the flames are gone !
‘‘ The existence of water,” pursued Mr. Phil
lips, “is continuous, flowing, not quickly to be
destroyed ; the life of fire is momentary. (He
explodes a large lucifer match.) Now yon see it
atits height! (He dashes it into water.) Now
it is nothing ! Iu life is from instant to instant .
Why has it beco me nothing ? Because water
is its natural antagonist? No—but because fire
cannot exist without a certain quantity of air ;
and when it is entirely immers’d in water, this
requisite quantity of air is suddenly withdrawn,
and th e fire as instantly dies. The very fame re
sult would follow if I were to dash a lighted
match into 0i..”
File and water are not natural enemies, but
very near relations. They are each c imposed of
the same elements; and in the same proportions;
the component parts of water can he turned into
fire, and whom fire ceases to be fire, it be
comes water. The two elements had by no
means the direct a::d immediate power over each
other that was generally supposed. Water was
a compact body, and acting in this body, it could
not act simultaneously on the particles of gases
which produce flame; but a gaseous vapor being
of an equally subtle nature with the gases it has
to attack, can instantly intermix with them. Find,
then, a gaseous vapor which shall intercept the
contact of the gases of flame, and thus prevent
their chemical union, their inflammatory forces
are thereby destroyed, and the flame is at once
extinguished.
The means of immediately generating this gase
ous vapour had, after numerous experiments du
r ng many years, been discovered bv Mr. Phillips.
With this composition, his machine called the
Fire Annihilator, was charged.
He pointed to the small mod'*! hou-e. It was
made of iron, and tilled with combustible materials.
He had had the honour of exhibiting it before
many crowned heads.
The fuel within it, is now ignited. The flames
rapidly spread, and ascend to the upper floor. A
thick smoke issues from the trap-door on the roof.
“Here,” said Mr. Phillips, “is a house on fire’
Some of the inmates are trying to escape by the
trap-door on the roof They rn.ike their way out.
The fire-escapes of the R tyul Society are in atten
dance with their usual promptitude ; their coura
geous men are ascending the ladders to assist the
inmates in their descent. But where are the
inmates? Two of them have fallen down some
where, and another has actually got Lack into the
attic. The reason is, that life cannot exist in that
smoke which the fire generates.”
A lighted match being held in it instantly went
out. This was repeated quickly, once or twice.
It always went out. The interior of the house
was full of flumes. One of the little Fire Annilii
lutors was now applied to the door of the model.
The flames sunk to nothing almost immediately.
A thick vapor was left in their place. But in this
vapor life can exist. Mr. Phillips again lights a
match and applies it to the vapor issuing through
the trap-door. The match continues to burn.—
Mr. Phillips then thrusts Lis arm through the door
and holds the match in the interior of the house,
where it still continues to burn amidst the
vapor. Io this vapor human life can equally exist.
Mr. Phillips here described his machine. Its
various complications had been reduced to a sim
ple form and action. The ordinary size is less
than that of a small upright iron coal-shuttle, and
its weight not greater than can be easily carried
by man or woman to any part of the house. It is
charged with a compound of charcoal, nitre, and
gypsum, moulded into the fom of a brick. The
igniter is a glass tube inserted in tbe top of the
brick, inclosing two phials—mrie filled with a mix
ture of chlorate of potassa and sugar, the other
containing a few drops of sulphuric acid. A
slight blow upon a knob drives down a pin which
breaks the phials, and the different mixtures com
ing in contact ignite the w hole ; and the gas of
this, acting upon a water chamber contained in
the machine, produces a steam, and the whole es
capes forcibly in a dense and expanding cloud.
Preparations were now made for setting fire to
the three roomed house. A “ sensation ” passed
over the room, and several ladies began to rise
from their chairs, and retire from the semicircle
in front of the lecture-stage. Mr. Phillips assuied
them there was no danger, as he had a perfect
command over the flames ; at the same time he re
quested the company to observe that he had pur
posely arranged that every disadvantage should be
against him. The house was full ot combustible
materials, the whole building was in a thorough
draught, (it was indeed) and they would observe
that the commencement of the full force of the
fire would be almost immediate, and without any
of the gradual advances which were usual in al
most all conflagrations. Lastly, he called upon
them to take note that the fury of the flames would
be such that no life could exist near them for a
single instant.
Without further words a lighted match is aj>
plied to one of the tarred and turpentined sha
vings that hang in the ground floor of the house.
It sparkles—blazes —and in one moment the
lower room is full of flames ! In the next, they
have risen to the floor above, ttiey crackle,roar,and
beat about, springing up to the roof, and da: ting
out tongues and forks to the right and left of the
building, w bile a dense, hot cloud of smoke, full of
red fragments of shavings and other embers comes
floating and dancing over the heads of the assem
bled company. Everybody has arisen from his
seat. —ladies —gentlemen—and now all the visi
iors are crowding towards the other end of the
building ! The whole place is filled with the roar
of flames, the noise of voices, hurrying feet and
rustling garments, and clouds of hot smoke !
But suddenly a man enters the building from a
side door, bearing a portable Fire Annihilator of
the size we have mentioned; he is followed by a
second. The machines are vomiting forth a dense
while vapor. They enter just within the door
way of the blazing house. A change instantly
takes place in the color and action of the flames
as though they grpw pal a in the presence of their
master. They sink. Th* is nothing but dark-
ness—and the dense w hite vapor coiling about in
triumph.
Issuing forth into the spacious yard of the gas
works, a final demonsti ation was about to be
given to the visitors on their way out. A circular
pool of eighteen feel in circumference, was filled
w ith tar and naptha. This thick liquid mixture
was ignited, and in a few seconds the whole sur
face sent up a prodigious blaze of great brilliancy.
A boy of about eleven years of ag-3 (apparently a
stranger to the machine, to judge from his awk
wardness) was desired to strike down the knob
which put the portable Fire Annihilator in action.
He did so ; and immediately the thick vapor be
gan to gush forth. The boy carried the machine
with very little effort to within four or five feet of
the flames. Instantly the flames changed color as
though with a sort of ghastly purple horror of
their destroyer—and, in a few seconds, down they
sank, and became nothing. There lay the black
mixture, looking as it had never been disturbed.
But the machine, me intime, went on vomiting forth
its vapor with surplus power, like the escape-pipe
of a steam-engine, and the boy being in a state of
confusion, was bringing the m achine back among
the company assembled round, who all began to
retreat, when somebody connected with the
Works told him to let it off against the dead
wall. While this was taking place, the same in
dividual remarked aloud, that the vapor could not
only be breathed after it had ascended and extin
guished a five, but would not burn even as it gusht-d
forth fresh and furious from the machine. As he
said this, he passed his hand through it once or
twice.
“ Fire,” said Mr. Phillips, “ is mainly composed
of eigl t parts of oxygen and one part of hydro
gen ; thus making a whole of nine parts. When
fire ceases to be fire, it becomes water, retaining the
same elements and proportions, viz: eight parts
of oxygen and one of hydrogen, and will weigh,
if the measure has been in pounds, nine pounds
or parts. If you decompose these nine pounds of
water by voltaic battery, the gases generated will
render eight pounds of oxygen and one of hydro
gen. Moreover, this law of nature cannot be de
ranged or disturbed by human agency. If to
make fire, you take eight parts of oxygen and two
of hydrogen, the false proportion will not prevent
the product of fire ; for the principle of fire, as if by
instinct, will elect its own proper proportions, be
come fire, and throw over tbe excess, whether
(he error be an excess of oxygen or hydrogen.”
