The split tubes it will be seen constitute rock-shafts for the finger-pieces.
The points of attachment of the rods, b, b, to their respective discs, are so situated
relatively to one another that when the disc, c, is in its normal position (shown in
Fig. 5), the fingers, a, will be turned up nearly at right angles to the lodge-strip, G,
and will consequently press upon the leaves of a book held thereon. When, how-
ever, the lever, d, is thrown out into the position indicated in Fig. 6, the shifting of
the rods, b, b, will throw down the fingers, a. so that they are nearly parallel with
the upper surface of the ledge-strip and thus free the leaves of the book.
The page can then be turned and as soon as this is done the lever, d, is released
whereupon the spring, g, throws the disc, c, and the lever, d, back to their normal
position, and the fingers, a, fly up to again hold the leaves.
The threaded mounting of the fingers, a, permits their adjustment for any thickness
of book without affecting in any way their capacity for operation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that I am
aware that it is not new to provide book rests with telescoping standards and with
fingers for holding the leaves of a book, and I do not claim the same, but what I
claim is:-
--
1. The combination of the flat base-piece having a configuration adapting it to be
sat upon, the upright telescoping standard mounted at its lower end at one end of
the base-piece and having the socket at its upper end, the ball fitted in the standard
socket, the clamp for securing the ball against movement, and the book rack carried
by the ball, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the book rack having the ledge strip along its lower edge,
the rock-shafts pivoted in openings through the outer or front edge of the ledge-strip,
the cranked holding fingers a ljustable lengthwise of the rock shafts, the discs attached
to the rock-shafts, the turning spring-actuated disc supported by the ledge-strip
between the holding fingers, the lever turning beneath the ledge-strip and secured to
the spring-actuated disc, and the connecting rods each pivoted at one end to one of
the rock-shaft discs and at its other end to the spring-actuated disc, substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.

the County of London, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
Up to the present time artificial teeth have been made having one or more pins
made of platinum embedded therein and projecting from the back of the tooth this
metal having been heretofore used on account of its capacity to withstand the
great heat to which the teeth must be subjected in the process of baking. In
consequence of the increase in the value of platinum my invention is to substitute
gold or such an alloy or alloys of gold as will withstand the heat necessary to bake
the tooth instead of platinum as heretofore used. I prefer to use as an alloy the
following proportions vist. of gold 16 parts of silver 5 parts of copper 2 parts and
of platinum 1 part but I do not bind myself to this combination or to the
proportions thereof as stated above.

I JOHN KINNERSLEY SMYTRIES of the Tye, in the parish of Great Bentley and
county of Essex barrister at law do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
-
My invention shown in plan (fig. 1) and in side elevation (fig. 2) consists of four
parallel hollow steel rollers R R R R (fig. 1) and R R (fig. 2) supporting on their
journals above the water a strong steel framework, on which are fixed eight steam
engines or eight cylinders (CCCCCCCC) fig. 1) and (CC fig. 2) supplied with
steam by two or more boilers (BB) to drive them round like the common paddle
wheel steamers, each roller having 32 paddles on its circumference and all floating on
water with their journals as far as possible from the ship's centre. On the framework
is also built all that is required to fit the ship as a carrier of passengers, pleasure
yacht, marine residence, sanitarium or hotel.
If the beams of the framework are bored and fitted to use as cannon this ship will
be a formidable weapon of war.
The ship's floor being supported solely on the journals of the rollers, its heaving,
pitching and rolling can be reduced without limit till it is not unpleasant or even
perceptible by increasing the size of the rollers and their distance apart. The ship's
speed can be increased without limit by increasing the size of the rollers, or diminishing
the depth of their immersion, or shortening the stroke of the engines, so that this ship
may be faster as well as smoother than any other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
1. The method of preventing the ship's motion from causing sickness by supporting
the ship solely on the journals of the rollers as distant as possible from the ship's centre
and
2. The method of increasing the ship's speed by making all it's floating parts roll
over instead of cutting through the water.

will now be readily seen that as shown in Fig. 2, the arrangement may be used as in
the ordinary manner, that is, to grip parallel with the fixed jaw b; but when it is
required to grip anything that is taper &c., the moveable jaw g, is moved round until
its face assumes the desired angle. This moveable jaw may be then secured to the block c,
or it may be left free, so as to readily accommodate itself to the article gripped.
In some cases, if preferred, the said moveable jaw may be arranged upon the non-
sliding portion of the vice, as seen in Fig. 7. A screw dowell pin i, may be used in
order to indicate and secure the moveable jaw when its face is parallel to that of the
other jaw.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that whatI
claim is :-
1st. The combination with a vice, of a rotating jaw 9, constructed and operating,
substantially as hereindescribed and illustrated upon the accompanying drawings in

page_text: 2nd. The modified combination with a vice of the rotating jaw g, constructed and
operating, substantially as hereindescribed and illustrated upon the accompanying
drawings in Figs. 4, 5 & 6.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Watch and Jewellery Ticket.
I, ADOLF KOCH, of 13 Charterhouse Buildings London, E.C., Manufacturer
and Importer of Watchmakers and Jewellers Tools and Materials, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The tickets at present employed for the display in shop windows and other
places of watches or jewellery, or other articles, are usually constructed of card
board and provided with metal clips or hooks for the suspension of the ticket and
the article to which it appertains.
The object of my invention is to produce a more ornamental and durable ticket,
and at the same time to simplify and cheapen the manufacture thereof.

shop window and c is the hook for holding the desired article.
с
The ticket a and hooks b and c are fashioned in one piece from celluloid plates.
The tickets may be made of various shapes and colours according to taste.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Sponge Glove or Mitten.
I MARK ALFRED BANNERMAN of Fernside West Hill Sydenham in the County of
Kent Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My improved sponge glove or mitten is so shaped and made as to enclose the hand
up to about the wrist, and I do not propose to form separate sheaths for the fingers or
thumb, but to so arrange the glove, that the hand will be enclosed as in a small bag.
I propose to form the front part of my improved glove, which touches against the
palm of the hand, in a similar material to that of which Turkish towels are made.
The back part of the glove may be of any suitable textile material, or leather such as
chamois leather and the like, when my improved glove is intended for domestic uses.
The front and back of the glove are secured together by a neat binding all round, and
the mouth of the glove is also bound with some soft material of a similar nature to
Turkish towling. The front part of the glove afore mentioned is now covered with a
layer of sponge over its entire surface, stitched on to the Turkish towel material.
When my improved sponge glove is intended for bathing purposes, I intend to form
the back of the same in lofah or similar frictional substance, or material..
It will readily be understood, that my sponge glove can be easily cleansed from all
sapanaceous or other foreign matter, as water can be run through the glove from the
interior, thus forcing the same to the outside. This is easily effected as the layer of
sponge is not thick. There is considerable difficulty in cleaning an ordinary thick
sponge, as soapy matter finds its way to the interior. and cannot be easily expunged.
My improved sponge glove is economical in manufacture and strong in wear.
I do not limit myself to any particular material for the back of the glove or
mitten.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
(1) An improved sponge glove or mitten, arranged and formed substantially as
described in this specification.
(2) An improved sponge glove er mitten faced entirely on the front part with a
layer of sponge.

Improvements in Nose-bags for Horses or other Animals.
I JULIUS MARTIN BIELEFELD of 280 Euston Road in the Parish of Saint
Pancras in the County of Middlesex Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists in the novelty of construction and the shape or configura-
tion of nose-bags for horses or other animals. I do not confine myself to any
particular shape but by preference I shape the nose-bag as described hereunder. I
make the nose-bag of certain materials either separately or in combination of one
or more suitable materials.
The materials to be thus used or combined are as follows:-Canvas, cocoa nut
fibre, cork, leather jute, hemp, yarn, enamelled iron or other metal perforated metal,
wicker or basket work, cane, wirework vulcanite, celluloid or other substance of
like manufacture, or plastic material, horse hair wood, gutta percha, linoleum or
any like manufacture, waterproof material woven or otherwise manufactured,
asbestos or any combination thereof.
The nose-bag is made with a centre compartment receptacle or manger B having
outside each side of the centre compartment receptacle or manger a pouch or
pocket C with flap or covering to contain the corn or any other description of food
or fodder an opening A is made at the bottom of each side of the centre compart-
ment receptacle or manger B through these openings A the corn
or any other
description of food or fodder passes from the outside pouches or pockets C in a
limited quantity into the bottom of the centre compartment B as the corn or any
other description of food or fodder is consumed by the animal the supply of food is
replenished with the food from the outside pouches or pockets C. The bottom of
the centre compartment B can be made to take off or be taken out from the opening
at the top. I form the nose-bag to the shape or configuration of the animals head
from the jaw to the lips or mouth. The nose-bag is made with a slope from the
back part of the jaw down towards the animals nostrils, and is attached to the
animals head by straps D.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The construction of the centre compartment, receptacle or manger B.
2. The construction of the outside pockets or pouches C.
3. The construction of the openings A at each side of the bottom of the centre
compartment receptacle or manger B communicating with the outside pockets or
pouches C.
4. The shape or configuration of the nose-bag.

A Thimble Attachment.
I, EDWARD PHIPPS APPLEYARD of 37 Harrietta Street, Hightown, Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to a thimble attachment and consists in providing
thimbles, employed by tailors, seamstresses, sail-makers, and others for driving needles
through fabrics or materials to be sewn, with a knife or sharpened blade to cut thread
or string when sewing is completed or otherwise as desired, thereby dispensing with
the necessity of scissors or other cutting instruments and the old and objectionable
system of biting the thread or string in two with the teeth. The knife or sharpened
blade can be mounted on the thimble in a fixed, detachable, or other convenient manner,
the thimble being provided with slots, bands, or other equivalents to receive the said
knife or sharpened blade. The knife or sharpened blade is so inclined to the side of
the thimble that it allows of sufficient space at its apex to admit thread or string, and
gradually dies out at its base, or otherwise as desired or requisite according to
circumstances.
