The object of my invention is to prevent the formation of this mildew and
consequently the discolouration of the material, and I effect this result by using
during the dyeing process a solution containing one part by weight of per-chloride
of mercury (corrosive sublimate) in from five hundred to five thousand parts by
weight of water, increasing or decreasing the proportion of mercury according to
the requirements of the material operated upon and the condition of the water
used.
The per-chloride of mercury solution may be used in addition to the solutions
used in the ordinary dyeing process or one part of per-chloride of mercury may be.
added to from five hundred to five thousand parts of the ordinary iron solution.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-

so as to admit of the same when not in use to collapse, i.e., to fold up and lie perfectly
flat: This is effected simply by lifting up the bottom of the box C as shown in
drawing Fig. 1. see dotted lines which, when hanging up, will be seen to rest either
upon small projections or blocks or by means of tape affixed from back to front as
supports (see drawing Fig. 1. A and b) for the bottom, & so keeping the box rigid
& firmly open. This simple method of folding up as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawing
thus effects a great saving of space for packing & will be applied to various patterns
& shapes of the said articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the samo is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is the following chief feature of novelty viz.,
A postal box or wall pocket to collapse or fold up when not in use.

Improvements in Sleeping Caps.
I, MARY FAVA MCLAREN, of 85 Finsbury Pavement, London E.C. Surgical
Appliance Maker, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement, reference being had to the accompanying sheet of
drawings:-
This invention relates to that kind of sleeping cap which is more particularly
intended for use by children for the purpose of preventing their cars from being
bent forward while they are sleeping, and which caps are at present made of a
network of tapes secured on the head by means of tapes or strings tied under the
chiu. Heretofore caps of this kind have been made to accommodate themselves
automatically, more or less, to the shape of head by means of pieces of indiarubber
elastic material inserted in certain of the tapes of which the network is composed.
This arrangement is objectionable, because the heat of the head rapidly spoils the
elastic material, and the same effect is produced whenever the cap is washed. The
object of the present invention is to provide means whereby the cap can be adjusted
to the head without the use of elastic material.
In Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings hereto annexed, the two pieces forming each
of the tapes A of the cap, which pass round the head from ear to ear, instead of
being connected together as heretofore with pieces of elastic material inserted at
the points B, are connected together by their ends being tied together, as shown,
at those points in the drawings. Thus each of the tapes A can be adjusted
accurately to the proper length to suit the shape of the head, and when it is desired
to wash the cap these tapes may be untied, and then retied when the cap is to be
worn again. By this means the extremely perishable elastic material is entirely
dispensed with, and the cap may be made of one material, such as tape for example,
throughout.
Instead of the ends of the tapes A being tied as above described, and shown in
Figures 1 and 2, they may be cut to such length as will enable them to be over-
lapped and sewn together, as shewn in Figure 3, so as to be of the exact length to
fit the head on which the cap is to be worn; and this being once done the cap will
remain unchanged in size until worn out.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
In a sleeping cap formed of a network of tapes the means of adjusting the lengths
of the tapes A to suit the head of the wearer, which consists in tying or sewing
together the ends of the two pieces forming each of such tapes, as herein before
described, and illustrated in the drawings.

Improvements in Hat Guards.
I, HENRY STAFFORD GOLLAND of Lynhurst Monton near Eccles in the
County of Lancaster Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
One object of my invention is to form a means for firmly attaching a hat guard
to the brim of a hat without perforating the same and I accomplish this by forming
a small piece of bent metal which embraces the edge of the brim and is furnished
with a screw or other contrivance for tightening its grip when in position on
the hat.
Another object is to form a method of attachment to the buttonhole or other
suitable place for the further end of the guard the present method of attachment
being difficult to make and so expensive.
I accomplish this by forming an ornamental end of metal or other suitable
material with a suitable ring or perforation through which the cord can be threaded
and passed so as to form a suitable attaching loop.

statement:-
This invention relates to improved application of and appliances connected with
signal and alarm bells, for the use of travellers, and others, the said bells being
convenient for transit and readily fixed in position on the handle of any door
without damaging the same, and the mere turning of the handle will at once cause
the bell to ring, and continue ringing until the handle is again stationary.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a complete
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a door handle with alarm bell fixed thereto.
Fig. 2 is end or side elevation of Fig. 1.
According to this my said invention two clamps, or strips c. c are secured to the
knob or head a of an ordinary bell band to fix the bell b in position the clamps, or
strips cc are passed round the handle e (or the stem of the handle e see Fig. 2)
and are then drawn together by the screw d or other like contrivance.
The bell is preferably placed in the slanting position shewn by the drawings in
order that the vertical clapper nearly touches the inside of the bell, and so sounds
when the handle is merely touched.
The bell and appliances connected therewith can be carried in very little space,
and readily fixed to any door handle, and the least movement of the door handle
from the outside will ring the bell and alarm the occupant.
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 :-
The application and use of a bell fixed to the handle, of a door as and for the
purpose herein described, and substantially as illustrated by the drawings annexed

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Coffee Making Apparatus.
I ROBERT WALKER RAPHAEL of 22 Montgomerie Crescent Saltcoats in the
County of Ayrshire, North Britain, Ship & Insurance Broker, 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 relates to an improved apparatus for making coffee and the like,
and has for its object the better infusion and clarifying of the beverage.
In order that my said invention may be clearly understood I have appended the
accompanying sheet of drawings, in which
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the device, and Figure 2 a perspective view
thereof, the two positions when in use being shewn by the two views.
In carrying out my invention I employ an ordinary saucepan A, with handle F,
and suspensory hook C, and fitted with an inner vessel or strainer B with a
perforated bottom d Figure 1. A handle D and lid E is fitted thereto, and the
whole is surrounded by a cloth or felt bag a.
When using my said invention for the purpose above set forth, I place the
saucepan A, partly filled with water, and the interior of B with ground coffee, and
after the water boils, said coffee is allowed to infuse for about five minutes, the
respective positions of the parts being as shewn by Figure 1. Then the inner
vessel or strainer B, surrounded by the bag a is raised, and attached to the
suspensory hook C in the position shewn by Figure 2, either by a loop in D or by a
chain & Figure 1. The coffee will then percolate through the perforated bottom d
and the bag a into the saucepan a and become perfectly clarified thereby.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;
The combination of a saucepan A with a strainer B and bag a substantially as and
for the purpose herein set forth, and as shewn by the drawings.

Improvements in Tobacco Pipes, Cigar and Cigarette Holders.
I, EMIL HENRY HUNGERBÜHLER, of 54 Tanfield Road, Croydon in the County
of Surrey, Engineer 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 improvements consist in the construction of the smoke passage in pipes,
cigar and cigarette holders.
The object of my invention is to construct a pipe or cigar holder in which the
smoke is perfectly cool when it reaches the mouth, so that all moisture of the
smoke is condensed in the stem without making the pipe or cigar holder long or
unsightly.
I insert into a cylindrical hole in the stem of the pipe or cigar holder a
screw d fitting the hole; of ebonite or other suitable material, and with a
deeply
cut thread, so that the smoke passes from the opening a round the spiral
passage e, e, e, through the hole and into the passage 9 of the mouth piece.
The ebonite screw d is made either in one piece with the mouth-piece or it can
be screwed on to the same.
The cylindrical hole 1 line with metal or some hard material such as ebonite c.
so that the screw d can be accurately fitted into the hole.
When the pipe becomes "foul the screw is pulled out without twisting so
that the cylindrical hole is scraped clean by the threads, and the screw can be
cleaned in any convenient manner.
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. A tobacco pipe having a screw fixed to the mouth-piece, and fitting in a
cylindrical hole in the stem, so that the only smoke passage is a spiral, and the
withdrawal of the said screw in a longitudinal direction scrapes and cleans the
cylindrical hole.
2. The manufacture of pipes, cigar and cigarette holders, arranged and
operating substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Fasteners for Bonnets and Hats.
1, GEORGE ROBERT HUDSON of Claypit House, Claypit Lane, Leeds, in the
County of York, Cabinet Maker, 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 object of my invention is to provide a means for fastening bonnets or hats on
the head, and to dispense with the use of pins ordinarily employed for that purpose,
thereby preventing damage to such bonnets or hats.
In the accompanying drawing
Fig. 1 is a plan shewing the fastener prior to being pushed into its holding
position.
Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively a plan and side elevation shewing formation of
fastener in its holding position.
Fig. 4 is side elevation shewing holdfast, and
Fig. 5 shews fastener attached to bonnet or hat of wearer, in position ready to be
pushed into the hair.
The apparatus employed is made in the form of a pair of tougs, and of wire, as
shewn at A, having a spring temper imparted thereto so that the free ends B
thereof close upon and cross each other when in position for holding the bonnet or
hat on, as shewn at Figs. 2 and 3, gripping the hair to such an extent as to retain
such hat or bonnet in position.
The apparatus is attached to the under edge of the bonnet or hat C as shewn
at Figs. 3 and 5, by means of a suitable holdfast D, openings E and E¹ being
provided therein as shewn at Fig. 4 through which the legs A of the fastener are
passed.
These holes or openings E and Ę are at such a distance apart that as the
apparatus is withdrawn from the hair, such holes cause the free ends B to separate
as shewn at Fig. 1, thereby setting the hat or bonnet at liberty.
The position of the fastener A will be seen from Fig. 5, in which the said fastener
is ready to be pushed into the hair of the wearer.
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 :-
The arrangement, construction and application of the various parts forming the
means or apparatus to be used as a fastener for bonnets and hats, substantially as
herein set forth.

An Improved Fastening for Tarpaulins or Covers for Ships' Hatchways.

An Improved Fastening for Tarpaulins or Covers for Ships'
Hatchways.
We, RICHARD JOSEPH ABRAHAM, General Dealer, and WILLIAM RAMSHAW,
Staitliman, No. 1 Staith, both of Howdon Dock, in the County of Northumberland,
lo 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:
This invention relates to an improved fastening for tarpaulins or covers for ship's
hatchways and has for its object (1) simplicity so that anyone however unskilled
can easily adjust it (2) efficiency whereby all failure of action is practically abolished
(3) cheapness in construction.
We will describe our invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which
Fig. 1 shows a cross section of the coaming of a ship's hatchway with a tarpaulin
secured thereto in accordance with our invention. Fig. 2 is a front elevation.
Like letters refer to like parts throughout the following description.
Let A and B represent the coam-plate and half round margining thereof
surrounding a ship's hatchway. C is the tarpaulin or cover which is used to cover
over the hatchway and it is a method of effectually securing the edges of this covering
that we will now described as our invention.
We tap holes at suitable distances apart in the coaming A. We further employ
continuous bars or battens D which have plain holes made in them corresponding to
the screwed holes in the coam plate. The studs or set bolts E complete the arrange-
ment. We prefer to make the latter with shouldered heads to bear against the
bars D and through the flat heads we prefer to have holes so that the marline spike
can be used for screwing up the battens tight and safe against the tarpaulin or
covering C which is thus firmly secured along its whole length between the coam-
plate A and the bars D.
As will be understood the studs E pass through holes in the tarpaulins or covers
as well as through the bars D and the plate A into which latter they are screwed.
By the adjustment or withdrawal of the studs the bar or batten is made fast or
loosened so as to secure or detach the tarpaulin.
The studs E may have square or canted heads for tightening up with spanners
but on ship-board holes to take marline spikes are preferable.
Thus for an oblong hatchway there might be two longitudinal and two transverse
bars or battens to secure the tarpaulin as hereinabove described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. Securing tarpaulins or like coverings on ships' hatchways by the use of bars
or battens attached to the hatch-coaming by studs or set bolts substantially as
set forth.

Improved Lucifer-matches.
STER
I, GUSTAV AUGUST ROSENKÖTTER, of Groningen, Holland, Merchant, 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 object of this invention is the manufacture of lucifer-matches of a material
which in comparison with the wood of ordinary lucifer-matches is cheaper, quicker
to ignite, burns slower and better, and owing to its toughness is less subject to
fracture in striking.
As distinguished from the well known wood lucifer-matches, those of this inven-
tion are made of turf, peat, moss or substance of like nature. This is washed or
otherwise suitably treated to separate from it either wholly or in part the heavy
and incombustible or insufficiently combustible substance adhering to it. It is then
made into a firm mass. It may, according as it is desired to diminish or increase
its inflammability, be mixed or have added to it a substance suitable for the
purpose, such as clay, loam, china-clay, resin, infusorial earth, etcetera. The
substance so produced is, either with or without the addition of a binding stuff,
pressed to a firm state and into strips, bars, match lengths (splints) or other con-
venient shapes. The further operations, application of the igniting substance,
etcetera, may be similar to those usual in the ordinary wood lucifer-match
manufacture.
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 :-
:-
For the application of turf, peat, moss or like substance to the manufacture of
lucifer-matches, the process of separating from such substance either wholly or in
part the heavy incombustible or insufficiently combustible parts adhering thereto
and then pressing it into a firm, readily inflammable slowly burning body, substan-
tially as described.

An Improvement in Racks for Toast.
I, ANNIE SCOTT-RUSSELL of 6 Egerton Gardens, London, S.W., Married
Woman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I construct a toast rack of any suitable material sufficient to bear the necessary
heat of a small spirit, or other lamp which I place underneath it.
The bottom of the rack on which the toast rests is of the ordinary description
i.e. made of sheet metal not perforated in any way to which I attach by means of a
hanging bracket underneath a small spirit or other lamp. The lamp may however
be fixed in any other suitable way.
The rack may be constructed with a double bottom the top plate of which may
be perforated so that the toast does not rest directly on the hot plate over the lamp.
I affix to the rack legs long enough to keep the lamp clear of the table.
My invention enables the toast to be served and kept always warm until con-
sumption, other racks have not this advantage.
