The accompanying figure shows one of the arrangements. Improved Apparatus for Distilling Water. 596 THE JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OP CHEMICAL INDUSTRY. [July 30,189?. A is the vessel containing the water to be evaporatedsupported by the outer ring C on legs D, attached to theoil reservoir K from which the lamp wicks I project intothe conical funnel (). The flume heats the inner surface ofthe combustion chamber B and finds its way out throughopenings X whilst ;iir for combustion enters by W. Thewicks are regulated by the ordinary screws II. The evaporating vessel is surmounted by a cold watertank .1, held in position by the rim K and having twoconical bottom surfaces L & L. The cone L has thecentral valre scat R, on which fits the reversed valve Vcarried on the hollow ball V by the spindle S which is guidedin the bracket T overhead. The ball floats in the recess 1>of the heating chamber 15 and keeps the valve V closeduntil the water level has been reduced by evaporationsufficientlj for admitting a new supply from the tank above.
