How Bottles May BE Cleaned by Machinery.
A patent has been taken out for an
apparatus for cleaning bottles. In the
new machine there is an improved ar
rangement for soaking the bottles in
suitable liquids. A wheel is fitted up
with cylinders, each of which holds
three bottles lengthwise, the total ca.
pacity of the tank i'll which the wheel
revolves being over 900 bottles. AS the
wheel moves, rotating brushes pass into
the bottles These brushes are run at u
speed of about 800 revolutions per min
ute and the interiors of five bottles 81
simultaneously washed under the water.
The bottles are next automatically dis
charged from the apparatus and passed
on to that for removing the labels aud
wishing the outside, aftor which they
are placed in the rinsing stand. There
is an automatic controlling or gripping
device by which the cleaned bottles are
removed and the dirty ones inserted in
their place. The rinsing of the bottles
is completed by the playing on them Of
water jets as they stand in the racks.
The capacity of the plant put at !, 600
bottles per hour, and the space occupied
is ~ feet square. The saving i'll labor
and consequent cost of operation are esti.
mated at 30 per cent over that of any
other machine or process i'll the market

Socoro, New Mexico, Struck by
Waves From a C|oudburst.
DEATH CAME WITH THEM
Houses and Contents, BOuIders and Tim
bers Swept Away by the Re-
sistleSS Elements.

Denver, July 31.-A News special from
Socorro, N. NJ, says:
A tremendous roaring startled the
people Of Socorro yesterday afternoon
about 4 o'clock. Shortly huge waves
of water came rushing down an arroyo
which drains the eastern slope of Mag
dalena mountains. The water came in
waves, each succeeding one apparently
higher than the other. Portions Of
houses, household furniture, baby car
riages, stoves and farming implements,
mingled with huge boulders, railroad
ties and bridge timbers, all being borne
through the streets of the city by the
madly rushing water. Only two bodies
were taken from the waters before dark,
a mother and her child. An attempt
was made to reach the people living
in the river bottom, but darkness and
the absence of boats prevented success.
The two bodies recovered last night
have been identified as members of the
Duran family, seven Of whom are MISS
ing. Four more bodies were taken out
this morning and identified as Durans,
making six recovered. Other bodies
are reported as being seen, but owing
to the treacherous nature of the ground
they can not yet be reached. Many are
reported missing. Another victim has
since been added to the death list, an
infant son of e. Bac, having just died
from the effects of the water, having
been rescued when almost drowned. -
Reports are coming from the towns
north and south Of here, telling Of
heavy losses. No estimate of the loss
can yet be made, but 1t is more than
$1,0OO,O00. Hundreds Of farmers have
lost their farm houses, crops, fences
and stock and in many cases the farms
have been rendered unfit for cultiva-
ton.
