    JDe Chabannes Improvements in Regulating the Temperature of Houses, Qc. machine; i, i, level of the water. Fig. 2 represents a box of tubes intended to be placed at intervals in the flues of greenhouses, hothouses, or drying rooms, &c. : a, the plan; b, the section ; c, c, c, the dotted line, represents a cover which is sunk in a groove at the top and bottom of the box filled with sand or other- 5 wise made air-tight; this cover is for the purpose of more easily getting at the pipdS to clean them. Fig. 3 represents an apparatus for heating and evapo¬ rating liquids: a, the boiler ; b, the furnace, moveable, and with the reversed flame for heating the liquid; c, crane for raising and lowering the furnace or for lifting up the furnace separately, for the purpose of either repairing or of 10 cleaning it; d, stage upon which the crane is fixed. Fig. 4 represents an apparatus for cooling liquids : a, plan of the machine; b, section in the height; c, c, the boiler, made of wood, metal, or any other materials; d, d, the cooler; the liquor thrown up by the pump is made to fall down the cooler, where it is intercepted and divided by a number of shelves made of wire or any other 15 materials pierced with holes to separate the liquid in its descent, so that falling in a shower it is met by a current of cold air forced in a contrary direction by the air pump marked e, e. This apparatus may be used without the air pump, and in that case the cooler is left open on all sides above the shelves that the air may circulate in the liquid while falling in a shower. Fig. 5 represents 20 the method of heating an oven by the reversed flame: A, the plan; B, the section in the length ; C, the transverse section ; a, a, the oven, made of metal or of earth; 5, b, the doors of the oven; the bread or other thing to be baked being put on plates mounted on castors or rollers is shoved into the oven, and may be drawn out at the opposite end; c, the fire-place; d, the chimney. 25 Fig. 6 represents the chimney ventilator. Upon every occasion, either for ventilation or producing a current of air in cliimnies when the air pump is not used, the ventilator is substituted in its place. In stables, in buildings of whatever description, and to whatever uses they may be applied, which are intended to be ventilated, this ventilator is placed on the summit of a tube 30 above the roof, which tube communicates at the other end with the place intended to be ventilated ; they are multiplied or increased in dimensions as the capacity and situation of the building may require. Fig. 7 represents a chimney with nine flues surmounted by three ventilators, each one separately acting upon three flues. 35 In witness whereof, I, the said Jean Frederic Marquis de Chabannes, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Fifth day of February, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixteen.
