all the machinery employed for road construction is, of course, imported fro|n the United States. 

 Moreover, much more construction is planned. The automobile dealers of Havana and the 

 Government officials are both anxious to see a Camino Real or highway running the length of 

 the island, east and west from Havana to Santiago do Cuba. The only j)assagc now for the 

 lengtli of the island is affonled by the railroad, and undoubtedly the jilanncd highway will not 

 only stimulate busine.es, but will prove an amazing attraction to motorists who now invade 

 Cuba in large numbers. — Exporters and hnporters Journal.

The Lillie Evaporator for Waste Waters 



The first booklet relating to the Lillie 

 Evaporators, published by the Wheeler Con- 

 denser & Engineering Co., Carteret, N. J., 

 is just off the press. The LilUe Evaporator 

 is now manufactured exclusively by this 

 company under agreement with the Sugar 

 Apparatus Mfg. Co.— S. Morris Lillie, Presi- 

 dent — owners of the Lillie patents. 



This new booklet calls attention to the 

 factors which make the Lillie Multiple Effect 

 Vapor Reversing Evaporator especially suited 

 to the concentration of waste waters or liquors 

 in numerous industries. Waste waters are 

 often very dilute and the valuable solids form 

 but a small per cent of their substance. Some 

 of these pi'oducts have abnormally high values 

 during these w^ar times, and economy of eva- 

 poration is not of so great moment. But in 

 normal times financial success or failure may 

 depend largely upon economy of evaporation 

 and it is the normal condition that should be 

 kept in mind. The booklet discusses the 

 "Economy Possibilities" of the Lilhe Evap- 

 orator, explains the method of "Film Evap- 

 oration" discusses the effect of the Lillie 

 Multiple Effect in bringing solutions to "High 

 Densities," explains why "delicate" solutions 

 are less susceptible to injury by heat in the 

 Lillie Evaporator, tells how the vapor re- 

 versing feature reduces "Incrustation Trou- 

 bles" to the minimum, refers to the economical 

 "Distillation" of water and lastly mentions 

 some of the solutions that are not waste 

 waters but which are successfully handled by 

 Lillie Multiple Effects. Five pages of the 

 booklet are devoted to tables that are of 

 especial value in the evaporation industry. 

 Ah accord ian f elding page insert gives the 

 principal instraetions for operating^ Lillie 

 Quadruple Effects.
