The oil is emptiedinto the small upper tank, and filters down through the wirenetting and hair felt into a second tank, and is siphoned bythe candle wicking from this into the large tank. The pipe toil is used to warm the oil to about 125 so thatit wil flow freely. As the steam from this condenses the watersmes to the bottom of the tank and is drained off by meansof the valve in the %-in. pipe. The inverted U in the allows the water to drain off if the level in the tank be-comes too high. The oil is removed from the large tank bythe valve at the side. We are indebted to Mr. J. F. Deems,.
