Abstract: 15,561. Heffernan, J. July 10. Organs and harmoniums; pianofortes.-A musical scale for keyed instruments is obtained by dividing the interval of a twelfth, from middle C to upper G, into twenty-four exactly equal semitones. The octave in this scale is slightly less than perfect, and contains 15 semitones or 3 major thirds ; the fifth consists of 9 semitones, the major third of 5, and the minor third of 4 semitones. The keyboards of pianos, organs, and harmoniums (tuned to this scale) may be arranged in various ways ; the preferred arrangement is illustrated in Fig. 2, the long thin lines representing the white, and the short thick lines the black notes. The scale for any particular key tonic in this arrangement comprises ten notes to the octave, and these notes are identical for two other key tonics separated by five or ten semitones from the first. The scale may be tuned by minor and major thirds or by minor thirds and octaves. Music notation.-The notes of the above scale are represented by numbers placed above or below a line representing middle, upper, or lower C, and equivalent to the number of semitones included between the notes and the C chosen. The time values are indicated by vertical lines above or below the numbers, and by their size, or appearance, as indicated in Fig. 6.

Abstract: 12,975. Scholtz, T. June 4. Rotary disk valves.-A valve for filling and regulating the flow of fluid in a fountain pen, syringe, &c. consists of two relatively rotatable parts a, c, which act as a plunger and are mounted on a pistonrod b. The rotatable part a of the plunger is formed with fluid ducts a<1>, and with a central slot a<2> into which the part b<2> of the piston-rod fits. The part c of the plunger is prevented from rotating by ribs c<3> which engage slots d' in the barrel d, and is formed with similar fluid ducts c<1>, and with a central hole c<2> through which the portion b<2> of the piston-rod passes.

Abstract: 21,821. Mackenzie, J. W., [Westmoreland Automatic Machine Co.]. Oct. 2. Boots and shoes, cleaning and polishing.-In a machine for cleaning boots and shoes, suitable for use as a coin-freed machine, the boot is placed on the rest 5, where it is acted on alternately by the side brushes 8 and the front brushes 25, 26. The side brushes are mounted in carriers 10 pivoted to standards 11. The two front brushes, one for cleaning and the other for polishing, in their separate frame 24, are mounted in the links 20 pivoted to the carriers 17, which in turn are pivoted to the main frames at 15. The frame 24 is rotatable so that either the cleaning or the polishing brush may be brought into operation, and when in use the carriers 17 are thrown forward by levers so that the brushes press on the boot. The brushes are rotated by chains and sprocket-wheels connecting them to the shaft 15 which is driven from the power shaft 54. An arrangement of cams governs the period of action of the different brushes and also provides for the supply of liquid polish by pumping from the containers 49. A pawl 47, engaging with pins upon the wheel 43 connected with a system of levers, causes both sets of brushes to be held back from the rest when the foot is inserted or withdrawn, or while polish is being sprayed on.

T h e paper bobbin has flexible circular flanges B', of thin strawboard or the like. In making it, radial cuts, of a length equal to the radius of the barrel, are made in the centre of the flange, the V-shaped portions B' produced by the cuts being turned inwards and pasted to the inside of the paper barrel B ; a plug is inserted in the barrel to hold the flange in position until the paste is dry. The filled paper bobbin is removed from the supporting-bobbin, and strips of paper C, Fig. 3, are pasted to tho flanges, connecting them together and securing the yarn in place. The flanges of the supporting- bobbin may be dished, in which case a more selfsupporting bobbin of yarn is obtained and the strips C may be dispensed with. The invention may be applied to spools for carrying thread. For unwinding, the paper bobbins may be placed directly in the creel, or may be superimposed on ordinary bobbins having one or both flanges detachable ; or a bobbin in two parts, each consisting of a flange and a tapered spindle which is wedged into the hollow paper bobbin, may be used.
