"If it hadn't been for that woman's preachin', that negro exhauster would to-day most likely be a hoin' cotton with a overseer a-lashin' him up to his duties, and his wife and children and himself a-bein' bought and sold, and borrowed and lent and mortgaged and drove like so many animals. And I'd like to have riz right up in that Conference and told him so."

The total superficial area of the exhauster above described, including the governor, is 150 square feet; and its capacity per 24 hours is 230,000 cubic feet. It works silently, with an almost entire absence of friction; and consequently there are few parts which require lubrication.

There is, however, another inconvenience which can only be remedied by the use of a second exhauster, viz., the loss of pressure after the passage of the gas through the washer a loss resulting from the obstacle presented by this appliance to the steady flow of the gas.

Etienne Gas Works, described a new exhauster devised by him on the reciprocating principle, and for which he claims certain advantages over the appliances now in general use. Exhausters constructed on the above-named principle have hitherto, M. Meizel says, been costly to fit up, owing to the necessity for providing machinery and special mechanism for the transmission of motion.

Its object is, while allowing for the washing being as vigorous and as long-continued as may be desired, to draw the gas out of the retorts, and, having cleansed it perfectly from its deleterious properties, to force it onward. The apparatus consequently supplies the place of the exhauster and the scrubber.

Here, the Bethlehem Society, a powerful machine working with regular, slow-recurring strokes, full of impetus; the Territorial Bank, a marvellous exhauster, indefatigable, with triple and quadruple rows of pumps, several thousand horse-power, the Schwalbach pump, the Bois l'Hery pump, and how many others as well?

A mechanical contrivance known as the exhauster is next used, by which the gas is, amongst other things, helped forward in its onward movement through the apparatus.

And seein' the boy seemed to be headed onto theoligy instead of politics, and wantin' to kinder show him off, I says, "Tell the gentleman who made you." He spoke right up prompt, as if hurryin' to get through theoligy, so's to tackle sunthin' else. He answered as exhaustively as an exhauster could at a meetin', "I was made out of dust, and breathed into. I am made out of God and dirt."

'Atherton, I think that I understand you, but I fear that you do not understand me. He went to where a self-acting mercurial air- pump was standing on a shelf. 'What is this curious arrangement of glass tubes and bulbs? 'I do not think that you do understand me, or you would know that I am in no mood to be trifled with. 'Is it some kind of an exhauster?
