lighted. When the coffee Is sufficiently boiled ft pours itself into the cups. The coffee is placed In a perforated box in the lid of the pot A tube runs from the coffee box to the bottom of the pot, and the water, on boiling, mounts thia tube and circulates through the coffee. The liquid then passes Into another tube which carries it to the cups. The alcohol lamp is automatically extinguished the moment the coffee is sufficiently boiled. —Popular Mechanics.
