HAT DRYING APPARATUS.
A Washington letter thus dos critics
the new hat (trying apparatus invented
by Ebenezer Hill. of Norwa'k:
it consists of a chamber. a conveyor
located in the chamber. together with
It heating apparatus adjacent to a por-
tion of the conveyor. This is supple-
mented by a coollnIz apparatus situat-
ed in the same chamber and divided
by a partition. in connection with this
there is a fine of conduits leading
therefrom to a receptable for collect-
ing the liquid condensed by the cooling
apparatus.
Connecticut inventor is
James .l. Burk. of Hartford. His inven'
tion is a steam trap. It is combined
'with a steam supply valve with an in-
jector controlled by said valve to
which is attached a discharge pipe.
Means are. provided for opening- the
valve quickly and positively. and cans-
.lng said valve to remain open until
the. entire contents of the receptacle
are discharged. Witlftn the receptacle
there is a chamber containing a float
and means controlled by the float for
operating the discharge valves. 0n the
