Almost all the molasses which comes
from Cuba to the United States is brought
in the same tanks in steamships that are
used to carry petroleum as a return cargo,
says the New York Tribune The ships
tanks are about 16 feet deep and have
neck Z feet. deep, They are pumped full
of oil at Brooklyn or Philadelphia, then
taken to Havana, and the oil is pumped
out into the tanks of the refining plants
there. Molasses is brought from the
interior of the island in huge hogs
heads, which are emptied into the
storage tanks. A suction pump drawing
about 10000 gallons an hour fills each
ships tanks to within about 2 feet of the
top, that amount of space being required
for the expansion of the molasSes. 1t
might be supposed that the petroleum
would have a bad effect on the molasses,
but it has been shown that the contrary
is the case, and as nearly one-half
the importation is made into rum
and the balance refined into sugar,
little oil is not of much account
The tanks are cleaned after the mo-
lasses has been pumped out by turning in
a powerful steam Jet, which washes down
the sides and liquefesl whatever molasses
may be left in the bottom of the tank,
and the suction pump finishes the work
cargo of molasses which formerly re-
quired ten or twelve days can now be
unloaded in forty eight hours, while the
difference in cost of handling, to say
nothing of the saving of time, amounts to
a large sum. Since the present system
of dividing vessels hold into tanks was
devised and put into practice on steamers
the profits Of the trade and the steamship
companies have largely increased
