    FIG. 5. A box, twelve inches long, eight inches wide, and two inches deep, with a hole and pipe at one corner to drain off syrup; this box is to be placed in the stove, or cupboard. Fig. 6, and is used to dry meteors, liqueur rings, and every candy, as directed in Page 9, No. 16. FIG. 6. A stove, or cupboard, made of iron, containing nine cases, on three shelves, which, by means of pivots placed on the outside of the cupboard, may be moved in a slanting direction to let the syrup flow off; these shelves are kept in the position required, by pins adapted to small square holes in a quarter circle; near the bottom there must be a sort of basin, formed like a funnel, to receive the drainings of the nine boxes, and conduct it into a pan at the bottom of the stove. The cupboard receives heat, which may be carried to 140 degrees, by a single pipe fixed to a stove in the laboratory, whose smoke is carried into a chimney near at hand the heat may be applied according to the situation, observing that it should always proceed from the bottom of the stove. When the cupboard is shut, it shews a circular opening, which may be closed at pleasure, to eva- porate the heat when in excess ; on the opening is a dial to mark the hour when the candy is put in the stove, and the time when it should be withdrawn, in order to secure exactness in the pro- cess. This stove was invented by the Author; it is extremely con- venient, and he uses it with complete success.—See Page 13. No. 22.—Liqueur Rings in Candy. FIG. 7- A frame, twelve inches square, made of tin, divided into small squares, used for cutting out barley sugar tablets.—See Page 16, No. 31. These squares vary in size, according to the size you would have your tablets.
