The Babcock Fire Extinguisher.

St. Joseph, Mich., May 9,1870. F. W. Farwell, Secretiry: Dzar Sib: On Thursday of last week, about noon, my house took fire between the Joist under the kitchen stove. When discovered, the room was tilled with smoke and no fire to be seen. Holes were immediately bored through the floor, and the nozzle pf a Babcock Extinguisher (of which I have two) was slipped in, the stream turned on and the fire Immediately extinguished, which, in my opinion, could not have been done with water. I- regard the Babcock as un invaluable protection. It ought to be in every dwelling. Very truly yours,

j. E. STEVENS.
