IN sbnpe II In a measure fesemb1es tho
boiler Of a locomotive engine, and LIKE II,
is furnished in tho interior with n number
Of steam pipes, measuring in the aggregate
twe'gs hundred feet, and connecting in
different pIaces 10 a steam pipe facd ~

placed n retort shaped funnel, Ioined ut ito
hoad to nm mir pump, by means NJ which
the boiler il exhausted Of a,f. Fhs sugar
having been previously bodsd 10 d syrup,
in the pan commonly 6sed. IL placed in n
vessel at fEie sldo u tho boiler, and by
mems Of II Pipe rises into tho boiler accor.
ding as tho yre1nnh in the boiler is created
by the n,eans Of tie ,d,f pof1p above. The
boiler being charged with syfnp, The steam
is admitted into the pipes, and The last pro.
eoss df boiling and gran1lai2og Is perform
ed Mt n very low temperature u heat, ard
without discoloting tho sugar. a most de-
slrabie object for tho sugar manufacturer
to attain. aE
The arrsngements fof enabling tho p I.
son in Attendance upon the machine. to
possess instant information of tho differ
ent stages Of lie process, are very ingeni-
Gus and accurate. A baron . or, 6xrd in
a conspicuous position, Indicates lilo heat
within the boIIe ; and bolts having a
small groove in one part Of them, wbicl
penetrate into tho mass Of sugar. and may
be drawn ont at pleasure, bring With them
a small quantity Of fhe sugar, by which
an opportunity is offered Of an actual test
of the quality Of me article and Stage Of
the process. At each end Of The machine
is fixed d glass. by means Of which q view
Of the interior may be obtained.
After the boiling Is completed and the
sugar Drawn OH, dtI tndt may IefFidiU ny
clinglng to the sides and pipes, is gathered
by means Of steam, which IL admitted
through a pipe favorabiy riaced for that
purpose, and al the stram that is condoD.
sed during the coufse IF the operation,
passes out from the Eottom Of the boiler
through a pipe.
Great pains haze teen taken 10 make
the apparatus pe~rfect,and there is every
probability Gifts beng 80. The workman
ship is superb. The boiler, which is twelve
feet long by four broad, is very neatly
made, and the end plates Of iron polished
TO resemble Steel ! fhe valves by which the
sugar is permitted to pass out after being
made, are foasily finished in polished
brass, and are raised by screws finished Mt
the head with ia nd wheels o~fbrighily pol
ished iron. Every part is completed in
the best style. and the whole machine
looks neat enough for a parlor ornament.
MFR. Morgan, the inventor, issa Planter
Of much experience, and the desire TO oh.
tain sugar without disco!oring it IN the
process of manufacturing, led him to do
sign and perfect the apnafssas.
