When it is cooled down the water in the tubes condenses and is ready for use over again. Visitors will remark the very small furnaces required for these ovens. The same firm exhibit their apparatus for ventilating and warming buildings. The large oven, set in white glazed bricks, is worked by Messrs. Harris & Co., who produce confectionery, cakes, and fancy bread, and who show in operation many machines used by confectioners. Messrs. Joseph Baker & Sons also exhibit a complete bakery, with a number of machines employed in bread making and confectionery; also two ovens, one of which is lined with stone and heated with coke, while the other, called an American oven, is lined with tiles and heated with coal, and is said to be very useful for baking pastry and fancy articles. This bakery is run by Messrs. T. Watt & Sons, who have also a refreshment bar adjoining. In this section of the Exhibition are also to be seen several samples of bread-making machinery, yeast presses, and pulverising mills, con- tributed for the most part by Messrs. Richmond & Chandler, Messrs. J. J. Musto & Co., and the Globe Mill Company. The machinery in motion in the various bakeries is driven by the well-known Otto Gas Engines. Returning now to the South Gallery by the entrance near to the working bees, we soon find ourselves in the portion of the Exhibition devoted to prepared vegetable substances used as food, including tinned and preserved fruits, biscuits, cakes, and prepared cereals. In this department many firms of world-wide repute are represented, such, for instance, as Messrs. Huntley & Palmer, Messrs. Peak, Frean & Co., Messrs. Brown & Poison, Messrs. J. & J. Colman, Baron Liebig, and some of the large jam and chocolate houses. The processes of jam- making and chocolate manufacture are exhibited in the West Gallery, which contains the machinery in motion. Prominent in this part of the gallery is the huge lager-beer cask exhibited by the Austro-Bavarian Lager Beer Brewery and Crystal Ice Factory, Tottenham, which is the only brewery in London built to brew lager-beer. The beverage produced by this firm can be obtained at Messrs. Bertram & Roberts’ bar in the Belgian Court. There is also to be seen the arbour, or Weinlaube, as used in Austrian vineyards, erected by the Administra- tion of the Weinlaube, Klosterneuburg, near Vienna; the firm also exhibits Austrian and Dalmatian wines, wine-making appliances, and instruments for analysis. There is in attendance a peasant girl in Dalmatian costume. There are many other Exhibitors of malt liquors and of well-known European, as well as of Australian, American, and even Syrian wines; but it will probably be a surprise to most visitors to learn that wine from the grape is made nowadays in England, even if only as a curiosity. Such is, however, the case, for Mr. J. Parker, of Woodstock, exhibits samples of red and white, still and, sparkling wines made from English grapes grown out of doors, and] under glass. Many of the best-known makers of mineral and aerated^ waters are also well represented. f One of the most interesting sections of the entire Exhibition is tc; be found on the south side of this part of the Gallery.
