MACHINE HAS MANY USES

Ingenious Device Intended for Washing Clothes, Renovating Feathers, Canning, Etc. Two Texas men have invented a machine which can be put to a variety of uses, among which are Washing clothes, renovating feathers, canning fruit and vegetables, etc. A cylinder, made of longitudinal slats, revolves on a stationary lower section, which is raised from the floor by legs. Beneath the cylinder is a metal halfcylinder, adapted to hold water; Beneath this, in turn, is a fire box, with a pipe rising from it at one end of the machine. This firebox is the distinguishing feature of the apparatus, as it can be filled with coal or wood and the water in the metal receptacle kept hot while the cylinder is being revolved through it and the clothes or feathers, or whatever may be in'* the

cylinder, thoroughly cleaned. For canning, of course, the cylinder remains stationary after the jars have been placed in it, and the lid of the machine can be closed, if desired.

Machine Has Own Firebox.
