ELECTRICAL DISH-WASHER.

Dirty Plates ami Platters Cleansed with a Stvirl of Scalding; Suds. The electric dish-washing apparatus that is in use in one of the Brooklyn hotels has been brought to the attention of many newspaper readers, but few of them have seen a picture of it.

From the illustration given anybody can obtain a clear idea of what the my ehine is like. There are two tanks, ir. each of which are placed paddles shaped like screw propellers. These are revolved rapidly by an electric motor, and the scaldmg hot water thns driven upon the dishes cleans them, it is said, better than by hand. They are placed in a cage that is swung from an overhead track, and after they are cleaned in one tank they are rinsed off in the other. The whole operation takes but one minute and requires the services of but one person. From 9,000 to 10,000 pieces are daily washed by this machine.
