SEES to cEtinguish slavery and eIaye traffic

cIusion IS that the sooner the whole race is
superseded by one more promising the
better will it be for the world and his de-
sign-or, as he modestiy entities it, his
specuIatlon-consi8ts in making the Chi

other words, the real sugar SO that, that
which we throw away or burn-the ba-
gasse-ls precisely the most precious part
OF the cane, since it contains that real
sugar which it is our intention to extract
from the cane.
This being done, it was necess ary to
mad means to put to account the sugar
cells as we'll as the water cells, to save and
20 collect the contents of both systems.
Mr.. Bringier has succeeded in this, by
means Of what may be cuIitd steam wash
ing; for it is clear that a portion Of his
apparatus, to use his own language to us,
represents to a certain degree the wash
ing machine.
According to his system the canes are
boroe on a carrier. not to be first crushed
by the mill as it is done under The pre-
sent system, but to cut into small nieces
and then fail into a double bottom reci-
plent where tn 7 are heated by a very
powerful steam enclosed in said double
bottom, and are afterwards conducted into
the department of the washing ma
chine, properly so called. Thence by
means OF an ingenious mechanism thew are
moved to and fro, being continually bath
%, SO TO say, and constantly developing
the saccharjue matter and vegetable water.
and tiaa'Iy they are thrown into d small
mill composed Of cylinders of two feet and
. hall IN length, where they are complete
Iy end definitely crushed, and all the luce
or sacc5@r'ne matter thoroughly extracted.
The residue after the operation is realiv

fibre which becomes fit for feed or for
