water only is retiuired which is necessary for the 

 immersion of the stutls, tiireatls and skins. Thus, 

 almost all the fuel connnonly used, is saved ; there 

 is a great saving of lahor, and in many instances 

 boilers are unnecessary. When boiling water is 

 not reijuired in certain operations of dying or of 

 lanni^^g, a small kettle may be used, wherein the 

 extracts may be dissolved over the fire, after 

 which it may he poured' out into a wooden vat, 

 which may be filicd*up with the quantity of water 

 wanted. — ^V. Y. Farmer. 



Alcohol from Blackberries, — Mr Evans lately 

 showed the editor of the Technological Repository 

 a very fuie specimen of pure alcohol which he 

 stated he had distilled from a very common and 

 well known English Vegetable, but which he had 

 never before known ai)plied to this purpose. The 

 alcohol had the flavor of Frencli brandy. Mr 

 Edwards said, that an experiment was now mak- 

 ing on a large scale in North Wales to cultivate 

 the brambles for this j)urpose ; that they readily 

 grew from cuttings planted in a good soil, and 

 which jiroduced fruit the same year. They were 

 to be trained on low frames to prevent them from 

 trailing upon the earth, and the berries were 

 greatly increased in size from the culture. He 

 does not intend to patent his discovery, but to ex- 

 ercise it for the benefit of the public.
