Burton E. Coe, manager of the Tampa
Phosphate Company, has invented an appa-
ratus for separating sand from phosphate,
which he thinks Of having patented. The
invention consists of q trough made of
wood, or 10 feet long by about foot wide,
and or 10 inches deep, with double boz
tom, one being OF screen wire placed about
six inches from the main bottom. Into this
trough, arranged slantngly, the phosphate
is poured, being conveyed from the lighter
in an iron pipe about inches in diameter,
through which it is forced by a stream OF
water. AS soon as the phosphate strikes the
wire bottom or seive OF the trough every
particle OF sand is washed out, while the
pure phosphate is emptied into receptacle
below.
st. Augustine Nelcs: A New York chem
i't having analysed the sawdust off the pal
metto root sent him from here, finds no
tannlc acid In it. Having boiled 1t down he
finds "3l.74 per cent. of solid matter, which
consists chiefly of extractive substances,
ooloring matter. and solidified dextrin and
glucose" He finds almost nothing Of COM
nercial value. Now the fact of the business
Is, probably the tannio acid or tanate, which
10 should have found, was boiled into
iextrin. The tannic acid needs for its de-
7elopinent GOLD water and albumen of the
hide. But what matters 1t what it needs so
ong as any man who understands using oak
Dark can make the most valuable qualities
n leather with 1t In less time Uhan with
)ther substancesi Let us start little tan
lery and prove what we say.
