rapidly  forming,  and,  secondly,  for  the  greater  facility  with  which  it 
may  be  cleansed,  there  being  no  difficulty  in  getting  the  hand  inside  to 
scour  it  out. 
The  condenser,  J,  however,  is  the  most  important  part  of  the  appara- 
tus and  consists  of  seven  tubes  one  inch  in  diameter,  thirty-two  inches 
long,  surrounded  by  a  cylinder  five  inches  in  diameter  and  twenty-four 
inches  long  ;  the  seven  tubes  are  arranged  as  seen  in  sectional  view  I. 
A  cap,  K,  two  inches  deep,  soldered  to  the  condenser,  fits  tightly  over 
the  elbow  H,  so  that  a  tight  joint  is  made  here — this  may  be  rendered 
perfectly  tight  by  tying  around  it  a  strip  of  moistened  bladder. 
A  short  tube,  L,  at  the  bottom  of  condenser  is  connected  with  a 
rubber  tube  from  hydrant  for  supplying  cold  water,  and  a  similar  tube 
at  M  conveys  the  heated  water  into  the  sink. 
The  ends  of  the  condenser  tubes  are  drawn  together  and  tapered  so 
that  a  bottle  with  an  inch  and  a  half  mouth  may  be  used  for  collecting 
the  distillate.
