Abstract: 1 3 , 6 0 0. Zimmermann, A., [Chemische Fabrik auf Actien (vorm. E. Schering). June 12. Oximes, reduction products of.-Compounds useful in therapeutic and having probably the general formula in which X is either hydrogen or alkyl, are obtained by the reduction of 3 : 4-dioxypbenylglyoxime and 3 : 4-dioxyphenylalkylglyoximes (obtained according to Specification No. 13,599, A.D. 1907) by means of suitable amalgams, such as those of sodium, potassium, or aluminium in presence of acids. In an example, an aqueous solution of 3 : 4-dioxyphenylglyoxime is reduced by means of sodium amalgam in presence of hydrochloric acid, in place of which other acids such as oxalic acid may be used. In the above example, sodium chloride is produced, the presence of which is desirable for keeping purposes and for subcutaneous use. The products of reaction have the property of raising the pressure of the blood toan amount approaching that produced by adrenalin, and with less toxic effect.

Abstract: 9745. Cartin, J. May 5. Smoke-consuming.-In a steam-generator furnace for burning bituminous coal, wood, &c., two fireplaces are provided, and sets of dampers are arranged so that the products of combustion from one fire-place can be directed into the ash-pit and through the fire on the other. The fire-places A, B are fitted in the space beneath the boiler 2, and are separated by a combustion chamber 22 containing a bridge formed of diamond-shaped bars 34 supported by a partition 35. In the position shown of the dampers 36, 37, 46, 47, 48, 49, the products of combustion from the freshly charged fire-place B pass through the combustion chamber 22 into the ash-pit 28 of the fire-place A, through the fire on the grate, and through the tubes of the boiler to the chimney. When the fire B is burning brightly and fresh fuel is fed on to the fire A, the dampers are moved to the positions shown in dotted lines, and the gases from the fire A pass through the fire B and through the tubes of the boiler in the reverse direction. The pairs of dampers 36, 37; 46, 47; and 48, 49 are connected together by chains passing over sprocket-wheels and are thus operated simultaneously. The boiler is suspended from channel beams by links 6 and is covered with a lagging of fire-brick and asbestos. The cleaning- door 17 and man-hole door 20 are lined with firebrick. Air for combustion is supplied through damper-controlled openings in the ash-pit doors.
