THE G A FURNAOE.

DATENTED Dec. 4th. 1856; same patent
Il relssued Aug. 9Th, 1856; and new patent grant
ed Aug. 9Th, 1856; TO. S. II. Gilman, of New Or
leans. This furnace is now in use on EIGHTEEN
PLANTATIONS IN LOUISIANA, and COM
bines with unqualified success the six important
and distinctive features Of
I. 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,
a. 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.
5. Forming no Stag, and the ashes being carried
oy the dTaught into a second chamber, are with
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-halt q cord in twenty -four hours,
when the furnace, fues 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
the bagasse and require no attention whatever.
This 10 the only Bagasse Furnace which com,
olnes the above named features, either theoreti.
cally or practically.
An investigation Of the patents, specifications
and drawings ito be had of the subscribers will
prove this furnace to be constructed upon strictly
SCIENTIFIC principles, entirely distinct from those
OF ana other patented furnace, and an examina.
ton OF the furnace in operation, will convince the
the most incredulous of the successful application
ofthe principles laid down in the patents. as well
as Its perfect simplicity of construction and
management, economy and durability. Some Of
sasse furnaces have taken off three crops without
10y repairs, there being nothing but fire brick
exposed TO the fire.
! ne Undersigned are now prepared to ~contraet
a parties for supplying and pubang these
furnaces IN operation, and solicit IF sugar planters

The Basasse Kettle Train and

THE subscriber is now prepared to close con.
4 tracts. with full guarantee, to take off crops
with d l AaR q M's Patent Bagasse
Furnace and Kettle Trsai1ls with a
consumption of Wood not to exceed one-half a
co,d per hogshead@ for the entire boiling Of the
juice into Sugar, or one cord per h~ogshead for both
grinding the Cane and Boiling the juice into Su"
gar.
The management of the Bagasse Kettle Train
is precisely the same as that required for the old
kettles, employing an equal number of hands to
clean the juice. The Furnace needs the atten.
dance of but one hand, as the Bagasse is never
touched after it enters the Furnace.

A CROOKED Misunderstanding of the
River Rio Grande, a recent writer says -
Imagine one of the crooked things in the
world, then imagine four more twice as
crooked, and fancy to yourself a large
river three times as crooked as all of these
put together, and you have a faint idea
Of the crooked disposition of this crooked
river. There is no drift wood in it, from
the fact it is so crooked that timber can't
find its way far down enough to lodge
two sticks together; but few snakes, be-
cause it is not straight enough to swim in,
and the fish are all in the whirlpools in
the bends, because they cannot find their
way out. Birds frequently attempt TO
fly across the river, and light on the same
side they start from, being deceived by
the crooks. Indeed, you may be deceiv-
ed when you think you see across; and
some of the boys says it is so twisting
there is but one side to it.
