This is a compl'cated apparatus, but 
the principle of the invention is as fol= 
lows: a large barrel, perfectly air-tight, 
is placed in a fituation lower than the 
cafks to be emptied 5 a pipe enters the 
o wer part of the barrel which communi- 
ates with a ciitera of water, and by 
means of a forcing pum 


ap the water is fent 
into the barrel thr igh a tube, which 
enters the under paz ‘y confequently the 
air in the upper part of the barrel is com: 
prefied. Phere ig 2.10 a contrivance for 
returning the water of the barrel i into the 
ciftern, an Aa renewing the preflure ef the 
enciofed air. An horizontal tube goes 
from the ai ts barrel, — has lateral 
Pipess with ftop- cocks that ave made te 
communicate with the upper part of each 
of the veilels which are to be emptied, 
and the liquor is thus, by the preflure, 
communicated from the air-barrel, made 
to empty its contents through another 
epening at -the bottom of each veilel, 
to which a tube is adapted which conveys 
it to the defired place. There is, befides, 
a mercurial tube hermetically fealed into 
the top of the air-barrel, after the manner 
of a barometer, which has a graduated 
feale, indicating the degree of ‘condenfa- 
tion of the conse air.
