STOVE.—An useful contrivance of this nature, calculated for Laundries, is manufaftured by Messrs. Jackson and Moser, of Dean-street, Soho; whose patent is now expired. Their stoves differ little from those generally employed for warming apartments, except that the smoke is conveyed into a vent by one pipe; over which a retort is fixed. At the bottom, on both sides, there is a bar, on which irons may be heated; so that, when the stove is raised on brick-work, and becomes thoroughly hot, it communicates heat to the room, and thus contributes to dry the linen; while a considerable saving is obtained in the article of Fuel.
