The Climax Fire Extinguisher.

Successful Series of Interesting Experi ments.

Yesteuday a largo number of persons as- Bcmblcd in William-street, near to the Free Public Library, for tho purpose of testing the powers of the Climax Firo Extinguisher, nn invention of Mr A. F. Spawn of San Francisco. I! is worship tho Maror, Superintendent Hughes .0:' the Fire Brigade, and representatives of the various Insurance Companies wero present. s!v .Spawn, who conducted -the experiments, hurt three of his machines on the ground, two being small ones, useful for incipient tiros, and one having greater capabilities. The machines mi; in shape like ;i small double iron tank, earli cnntnininK water, which when required for active service is impregnated with bicarbonate of soda and alum. This is carried in two sepa rate compartments, and the water is not kept charged, n 3 it would corrode the tanks. When required the chemicals are merely thrown into tho water and the action of pumping causes them to become thoroughly incorporated. Tho tanks nre connected by a double-acting brass pump of considerable power, tho smaller ones being capable of forcing a jut of water l(i feet. Unguisuing power increased twenty times. In order to test these machines yesterday there had been placed on tho allotments five large barrels, tilled with dry wood and shavings, &c, the whole thoroughly bedaubed with Ur and sprinkled with kerosene; second, a square packing case, 12 feet high, open at bottom, filled with similar materials to the top ; third, a large barrel, similarly filled with in flammable material, and thoroughly bedaubed with tar. The barrels were first tired, and when it had fairly got. hold Superintendent Hughes ordered operations to begin. Mr Spawn then advanced and with the extinguisher pumped a small jet of water on the fire, which, though fanned with n mild breeze, was suppressed in atiout n minute and a half, only nbout two or three quarts of the prepared water having been u.sed. It. however, flared up again, but was completely extinguished by a second applica tions of the medicated water. Then followed the second experiment; n|largo oponing having been made at the bottom of the largo upright packing case, a match was applied, aud in nn instant tho huge pile of combustibles was in a blaze, the dense mass of smoke driving back tho spectators for a considerable distance. Mr Spawn, when requested by Superintendent Hughes, advanced to the case, and inserting the nozzle of the small machine in iho lower opening, tho gas generated, speedily ascended, and squelched the lire. This was a severe test owing to tho draught caused by the opening in tho case. At tho third trial Mr Spawn used liiß j "Automatic double-hand Climax Grenade." j

This consist* of a small but bulky doublo bottle, each part holding a pint of strong chemical .solu tion—one being charged with nn alkali, and the other with au acid. Between the two bottles is placed an explosive but harmless cap and fuse, and this tusc, coining in contact with the lire, explodes tho cap, which breaks the bottle, causing tho two chemicals to combine, anil immediately generate carbonate acid gas. When tho barrel had been set on firo two of these grenades were dropped in, and almost im medialelv two slight explosions wore heard, ami tho names were extinguished. AU the ex periments were most Hueeefwful. Mr Spawn fuul decided to leave the largo machine at the Fire Brigade station it order thut it m:iy be tested at tho first lire that occurs. He arrived 111 Auckland on the morning of Messrs Owen imd Graham's tire, and states thnt he is satisfied his inventions would have effected a saving of fully £2,000. So certain is Mr Spawn of this that he is willing to give the Insurance Com panies the use of tho machine for nothing, but 2S per cent, of the Balvage. The s.s. Australia carries two Cr-lr.v. extinguishers, whice wero on the voyago boforo tho last tho means of sup pressing a Ure that had broken out in one of tho state n.'onia behind the lining. Captain Ghost, formerly of the Pacific Mail steamer, hasjoincd Mr Spawn and taken up his residence at Sydney, to attend to tho colonial business, under tho stylo af K. C. Ghest & Co. Mr Spawn goes on to China, Jnpnn, and England, and thence back to the United states. Messrs X Porter Sc Co. arc tho Auckland agents for these patent extinguishers. At tho request of a number of persons interested, Mfss-s K. Porter & Co. have arranged for another trial of the "Chip. <■ Extinguisher" to morrow (Saturday) forenoon, ut tho same placo as the above tosts took place.
