Tlioy aro strong and •••■ . well constructed, have ten feet' of hose and a nozzle attached to each, and are " % ' ..able as Jong as the nails aro kept full, to project a stream of water with considerable force, Thus it will be seen that in the caso of a sudden discovery of fire in a room, or elsewhere they will prove of great service, It is the intention of the Insurance Association to distribute those little'fire extinguishers among Hie hotels and othevbuildings in Christchurch which are insured in their offices, tin an old Eoman cemetery in Southern aly have been found somo curious and frosting objects.
