. The Civil engineer and architect's journal, scientific and railway gazette. Architecture; Civil engineering; Science. Till! annexed engraving is a sectional elevation of the apparatus employed for ciillecting and applying the gases to tlie purpose of generating sleam, and IS :is fulluws:—n n and b b are two cylindrical vessels atfi.\ed at right angles to each oiher, as shown ; c c is another cylindrical vessel, placed within the luier, or vessel b b. on the top of whicli is placed a pipe or tube d; e is a Vessel suspended within the vessel a in an inverted position, with iis lower end dipping into the water contained in the vessels a and A, wliich vessels form or constitute a boiler; /is a hopper, to which are attached two pipes g, g, «li:c!i pass ihiough the end of the vessel e, as shown ; // is a furnace, and i a reiori, divided by a plate or partiiion^'. The aciion of this apparatus is as follows : the hopper/being filled wilh the above mi.\tureor compound, a fire is lijilited within the furnace //, the heat uf which jiasses in the direction shown by the arrows, and escapes through an opening at/c. When the retort Mi^is become sulficiently healed, the compound or mixuire contained in the hopper is allowed to fall donn the pipes g g upon the heated retort, whereby the [larticles of the mixture become ignited, and the gases and caloric obtained thi'iefrom pass up the tube (/, and between the annular space formed by the vessel !' and tube d, so tliat the gases and vapours are made to pass through water, in their passage tu the boiler, and communicate their high temperature thereto, which will have the elfect of producing a considerable quantity of steam, winch, combined with the gases, may be applied for producing me- chanical power ; I is stated to be a contrivance for regulating the pressure in the boiler, and is the eduction pipe for the steam and other vapours. Tlic patentee slates that the residue of the nitrates employed may be removed through an opening
