    — Ky 6224. - A.D. 1904 Improvements in Apparatus for Disinfecting and Fumigating, cl'C. i() which extends through tlie wall of the outer receptacle 10, and provided with a screw plug, 18 for sealing the same, and at the lower left hand end of said tire pot Id is a similar pipe 19 which extends through tlie wall of the receptacle 10 and is provided with a screw plug 20 for sealing the same this latter pipe being provided for the purpose of giving access to the base of the fire pot bn1 the 6 purpose of withdrawing the fire or removing the refuse therefrom. 21 denotes a spherical receptacle which is arranged partly within and partly without the receptacle 10 above the tire pot 14, and connected thereto by a pipe 22. To the upper portion of said receptacle 21, is secured an uptake pipe or -staX'k 23, having its inner end extending downwardly within said recep¬ tacle 21, and its outer end provided with a valve 24, and to the outer end of said pipe 23, intermediate its valve and the receptacle is connected a vertical pipe 25, provided with a valve 26, and thermometer 26x. Directly below the pipe 23, is arranged a pipe 27, which is secured within said receptacle with its inner end extending inwardly and upwardly therein 1;) and terminating in proximity to the inner end of the pipe 23, and directly below said pipe 27, is secured a similar pipe 28, having its inner end extend¬ ing inwardly and downwardly within the receptacle 21. 29 denotes unions arranged upon the outer projecting ends of the pipes 27, 28 in which are secured the horizontal ends of T-joints 30 between the inner 20 opposing ends of whose vertical portions is secured a glass section, 31. 32 denotes petcocks connected to the T-joints, 30 above and below the glass section 31 to permit the escape of smoke which may be trapped in the portion of the indicator intermediate the valves 33, 34, arranged respectively in the pipes 27, 28, intermediate the glass section 31 and the spherical receptacle 21. To the opposite side of the spherical receptacle 21 is secured a pipe 35, having a valve 36 secured to its outer end, to which is connected a glass trap 37 having a petcock 38 at its upper end and 39 and 40 denote pressure gages connected to said pipe 35 intermediate the valve 36 and the spherical receptacle 21 the gage 39 being provided with a valve 41 and adapted to indicate the pressure in ounces and the gage 40 provided with a valve 42 and adapted to indicate the pressure in pounds within the receptacle 21. Within the spherical receptacle 21 is supported a fumigating receptacle, 15 adapted to receive a fumigating agent such as formaldehyde, either in solution or in dry or tablet form, said receptacle being provided at its upper end with !>; an outlet pipe, 44, provided adjacent to said receptacle 43 with screw threads 45 adapted to engage the screw threads 46 in the top of the‘spherical receptacle 21, whereby to support the receptacle 43 therein. 47 denotes a valve arranged in said outlet pipe 44 and 48 denotes a thermometer secured to and extending into the pine 44 to indicate the temperature of the fumigating agent passing 40 therethrough. To one side of the pipe 44 is arranged a pipe 49 having one end connected to the receptacle 43, and its other end extending outwardly through the spherical receptacle 21 aud provided at its end with a filling cup 50 and intermediate said cup, 50 and spherical receptacle 21 with a valve 51. 52 denotes a drain pipe having its inner end connected to the bottom of the 45 fumigating receptacle 43 and its other end extending through the spherical receptacle 21, and the outer receptacle 10 and provided with a valve 53. Arranged around the outlet pipe 44 of the fumigating receptacle 43 and resting upon the outer surface of tlie spherical receptacle 21, is a spraying device consisting of an annular pipe 54 having an annular slit 55 in its under- 59 side and connected by a pipe 56, having a valve 57, to a source of cold water roppiy- . i Beside the receptacle 10 is arranged an air forcing apparatus 57, comprising a housing 58 inclosing a blower 59 mounted upon one end of a worm shaft 00, supported upon standards 61 and operated through the train of gearing 62, 63, 64 55 by means of the handle 65. From the blower 59 extends a pipe 06, which passes through the housing 58, through the receptacle 10, and is connected to the fire
