Lemon Juice Essence.

Consul Alexander Heingartner. in
Sicily. has discovered a novel machine
for extracting essence from lemon peeIs.
He says:
''The important part of this machine
consists OF two disks. of about four and
eveE-eighss inches diameter each, the
surfaces OF which are indented like a
nutmeg crater, so as to hold the peel
in place. The disks are placed opposite
each other In the first movement they
separate about three and One-half
Inches, and receive a half peel (preVi-
ously deprived of the pulp from
wheel. the spOkes Of which project
about an inch above the disks just be-
fore they meet. The disks reVOlve in
opposite directions and squeeze the es-
sence from the peel without breaking
it. The peel is then elected automati-
caIIy, and 2 fresh one IS inserted The
in sponges- placed under the disks. The
disks can hardly be seen. being hidden
by two cuI,s which prevent the escape
and EVAPORATION Of the essence.
All the work is done automatically.
except placing the peels on the spOkes
OF the wheel which supplies the disks.
This work, being very simple. is done
by women and boys, who receive eighty
centisnI DC centsl for ten hours work.
The capacity Of the machines IS 1900
half peels per day Of ten hours. Mr..
Rosario di MaurO, large producer OF
essence at Clare. has twenty machines
ia his factory, and is satisfied with
them The patentee Is Mr.. Giovanni
Serravalle. Of Messina. Sicily"
