Preventing Water Pipes from Bprst- 
xno —The following plan for prevention of 
the bursting of water pipes during frosty 
weather has been invented in England, it 
is well known that when water freezes it 
expands, and that the force is so enormous 
that no pipe can resist it. This invention is 
intenden to give the water a chance to ex- 
pand without bursting the P»P*~ ** , ' 
tempts this by securing in the 
metal pipe a space equal to the 
of volume between water and ice, so tnat 
when the water freezes it occupies the space 
reserved for it, instead of exerting its force 
on the pipe and bursting it. This is prac- 
tically carried out by passing through the 
water pipe a small India rubber tube, spe- 
cially made for the purpose and of such a 
diame’er that the space inside it is u little 
more than equal to the increase in volume 
of the ice. The India rubber tube is always 
kept full of air, so that when the water 
freezes it finds the necessary space for ex- 
pansion, for by compressing the air tube it 
displaces the air and takes its place. When 
the ice melts the tube again expands, be- 
comes filled with air, and is ready for an- 
other frost, and so on for any number of 
times withou t miniring attention. 
BIG INVENTION^ 
Lloyd, the famous map man, who made nil the maps 
for Geuornl Gram and the Union army, ceitiltcates of 
which he published, has just Invented a way of get- 
ting a relief plate from steel so os to print Lloyd's 
Map of American Continent-showing from ocean to 
ocean— on one tntiro sheet of bank note paper. -10x60 
inches large, on a lightning press, aud colored, sized 
and varnished for the wall so as to stand washing, 
and mailing anywhere in the world, for 30 cents, or 
unvarnished for 25 cents. This map shows the whole 
United States aud Territories in a group, from sur- 
veys to 1875, with a million places on it, such as towns, 
cities, villages, mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, gold 
mines, railway stations, &c. This mup should be in 
every house. SendiOccnts to the Lloyd Map Com-
