II _ GRAY'S FERRY CHEMICAL WORKS. , • - . Those tvorks are-located in the south-western part and within the city proper limits of Philadelphia, and occupy an area of twelve' and a half acres, extending from Thirty-fourth to Thirty fifth Streets,- with a frontage of nearly six hundred feet on Gray's Ferry Road, and running back to the river Schuylkill. Here, un like the old Kensington works, the eye falls uilim nailing that savors or the east, and the buildings, machinery, apparatus and ..very alipurtenance whatsoever, are invariably the very best that mgenuity or the suggestions of experience could require. Upon entering the enclosure, the'first structure we see is a Stone building, finished in mastic, about, sixty feet front by, Ono hundred and twenty-five feet in depth, and three stories,high. Hero ,are the Glfices,• the Analytical Laboiatory, and the ample halls, for putting up, packing and storing Azurono, an article concerning which we shall presently speak at some length, in its proper con , neetion, and wo shall again advert to this_ huilding farther on in our sketch. Passing through the, office and entering the yard, wo see the • VARNISH BUILDING it anding quite isolated and for purposes of security from fire, at a udicious remove from other structures. ;Hero are the usual ap- plians•es ot boilers, etc. ; for the manufacture. of Varnishes which are the invariable appurtenances in such establishments. There seems to be nothing particularly noteworthy here. An iron pot, sot in masonry, and smeared with gums and oils, is not a specially in teresting or exhilarating spectacle, and may be multiplied indefi nitely without producing ft very profound effect upon the spectator. --Besterwing—a—hasty_and_not_very__appraciative_glane_e_apon the grimy utensils, which are here congregated, we pass to'a high brick building,..about forty by two hundred and - fifty, in - Wlfith aro the sutprtußie ACID WORKS Ili-U.e are three brimstone furnaces, (which are charged every twenty minutes,) the usual steam boilers, etc., and five leaden chambers. (It has been found necessary to put up a sixth chamber, outside, at the lower end of the building, to meet the increasing de mand.) The largest of those is twenty-five feet wide by twenty feet high and one hundred feet in length, and in its construction about fits v tens of sheet lead wero employed.. A depth of one inch of Acid in this chamber is equivalent to three hundred carboys. These chambers arts supported by wooden frame work, to which they are attached by leaden fastenings. No solder is used—the edges of the sheets having heen fused together by the oxy-hy drogen blow-pipe. ' A be production `of Oil Vitriol is the result of a series of complex reactions which need not he detailed hero. Ingenious contrivances have been introduced for aseertaining, at any moment, the fitrength of the chamber acid, and for drawing off the acid for concentration „....,and,_ther_purposes. 2The foundations of this building_are immenso ly strong, as also are the two rows of massive columns in the vault which extends the whole distance beneath these chambers. This vault seems to be used for storage., for leaden tanks containing acid ---drawn-from-timehambers„condy to be filled into carboys; for car ' boys tilled or to be tilled, arranged , in -tiers to the numlier.of four to five thousand. Leaving this dopartMent and passing through a large .room, some eighty feet sgn:u•e, where are retorts for the , manufacture of Nitrate.of Iron, stills for 11 uriate of Tin and other — Apparatus including that' fir Nitrate of Lead, we . ascoid a plat form where an auondant stands watching through a window the processes going on in the 4 - - CONCENTRATING HOUSE. ere is revealed a long line of glass retorts containing Oil Vitriol in a stay of ebullition. When seen to boil too feebly or too fu riously, the man, at the ‘vindow darts into the room, checks or pro motes the draft, or throws on fresh coal, :as the ease may require, and immediately escaping returns to his post of observation. No one is permitted to remain longer than is absolutely necessary where the pi ocess of concentration is going on, as serious conse quences might ensue were any of the retorts to burst. It is here tlnit thep.oi or brown acid (GO') is 'converted inta.standard_fiG° acid, or Oil Vitriol. This mode of concentrating in glass is found In comparison with the process In plAinum to produce acid free from impurities; and though troublesome, the superior excellence of the acid,-the saving of capital and interest amply compensate for that. el Emerging from this building we find ourselves in an area where may be seen heaps of brimstone and yards for the stor age of coal, n Lich latter article the location of these works enables the -propricykra ici_garebase at low prices by the cargo, - coming as i~~~I S o.JLV s' PATENT Paint and Varnish Remover.

The rapid growth of this Azurene interest may. be inferred from the fact that so recently as last August, but two persons were required to / label - 11nd pack for the market, and that now the three-halls that haVebeen mentioned are "tlevoted to this purpose, each equipped with long rows of _tables, arranged w I th_ seal es r ete.,_and. with_a_separate_force_of_gids__ aid a forewoman to each hall.
