ed in a vacuum-pan. See condenser; evaporator; vacuum-pan; sugar-machinery; diffusion apparatus. Maceration and desiccation have each been tried with some degree of success. The first notice we find of the making of beet-root sugar was in 1747. Achard's (French) process made the manufacture a success in 1799. Napoleon encouraged it when the English cruisers destroyed the commerce of France, and cut her off from her sugar-producing colonies. It is now being tried in Illinois, Utah, and California.

re considered under their respective heads. Fig. 3420 is a view of the Stetefeldt ore-roasting furnace, so much used in the silver districts, and shown under silver mill in its relation and position to the crusher, stamps, and amalgamator. It is of the class known as a shaft-furnace, in which the finely powdered ore is mixed with certain chemical re-agents and dropped into the flame, which passes up the chimney. In the case, for instance, of operating upon the sulphides of silver mined in Utah, the ore which has been broken in the crusher, and reduced to powder by the stamps, is mixed in the latter with a certain percentage of salt, and then conveyed to the top of the furnace, where it is distributed by the feeder a in a shower of fine dust by the sieve b; falling down the shaft c, it is exposed to the full effect of the flames and heat rising from the furnace d, for which the shaft c forms a chimney. A double decomposition takes place in the shaft, the chlorine leaving the sodium
