SOUTHERN ENTERPRIsE.

The Rre6t feature 81 The leaf pan, appeared to be
its boling large quantities Of molasses in
the shortest pcsible space Of time. Its boiling capa-

we ON u the pan square about six feet
~ sewn Ii diameter, and two ard a half feet in
depth. In the bottom Of it are thirty-two steam
pipes hollow plates, lying across edgcwise- each
pipe Il plate being foot ID breadth, and about
half ii inch in thickness and being less than two
inches apart These hollow plates, made Of copper,
plated connect BY brass fittings with an iron steam
pipe rnnnng around the inside, near the top It y
at once that an immense heated surface is
presented 10 the molasses when the steam IS let into
al thsse hollow plates but the rapidly with which
the molasses isset to boiling almost exceeds belief
About seven barrels and 4 half Of Cuba niolasses
were let into the pan from al adjoining receptacle

gentleman pulled ont his watch 70 time the opera
ton the word was given and the steam let on. In
one ssisssss and quarter the molasses was bubbng
briskly. and ia q quarter Of minute more, il was

With sucf rspidity, TINT Il was impossible for the

contriyance 81 NE inventor however, obviated the
necessity of the negro skimming II beyonda certain
point. Atetberepd Of the pan is 3 trough, Of such
ai elevation that when the molasses bos brisk the
foam rolls over into them, and drains of through
spous III their bottoms, to its proper receptacle.
After The ,oasess had boiled few minutes throwing
OF its sgmmings 10 the above manner, the steam was
shut Oh, gate raised and in another minute the pan
Was empty and ready for another stomach-full The
whole operation Of the filing boiling and emptyng,
did not occupy ten minutes. ~
It seemed to be rather surprising exhibition to
the gentlemen present, some Of whom were sugar
makers and the negro who conducted the operation
-an intelligent fellow Of twenty-eght years exper
fence in sugar milking seemed to consider himself
engaged in something little ahead Of the telegraph
Whether this rapid boiling Of the molasses fits it
well for expectation and nse as slow boiling we
not prepared to say, having never dabbed in molas
ses-making If however, there be any merit in rapid
boiling, Ames' invention must certainly take the palm.
Its second great merit is It's economy, but a very
small quantity Of steam being necessary to fill the
pipes and set the olasses to boiling as we have de-
scribed. The third merit Of the invention is the
saving of hand labor which is effected by the self
Swimming IF the molasses.
The steam can be let on strong or weak so as to
graduate the boiling to any desired rate Of speed no
matter what head there may be in the boiler Two
or three Of these pans placed in asugarhouse would
do an amount Of work and in shortness Of time
almost impossible to realize Altogether I'VE consider
the invention as eminently worthy the attention Of
sugar makers, and would advise them to 50 and
see it. En- N *. II 9s.
Mr. Atnes' invention was worked out in the metal
by Mr.. Daniel Edwards at his establishment on New
Levee and Fulton streets. Mr.. E. is prepared to
manufacture as many Of the leaf pans as may be
wanted, together with his own invention, the steam
train, which is now popular in the sugar districts.
