and distinctive features of,
/. Working entirely by natural draught.
2. Containing no CRATE bars or other irons in
interior.
3. Never requiring the bagasse to be stirred or
touched after it falls from the carrier into the
hopper of the furnace,
4. Drying the bagasse thoroughly in the furnace
where it remains more than one hour, exposed
to great heat, before it reaches the point Of
combustion.
S. Forming no Stag. and the ashes being carried
by the draught into a second chamber, are with
drawn at any time without stopping the sugar
mill.
6. Burning all the bagasse on plantations of any
size, and requiring no other attention than to
take out the ashes and occasionally throw in
wood-the average consumption of which has
been only one-halfa cord in twenty-four hours,
when the furnace, fiues and chimney were
proportioned.
The furnace erected under the new patent Of
August 9Th, 1856, are fed without rollers by a
simple arrangement of balanced doors in the bot
tom of the hoppers, which open by the weight OF
