Manufacture of Combinations of Casein with Lithium Salts, Soluble
in Water.
I, CHARLES DENTON ABEL, of Birkbeck Bank Chambers, Southampton
Buildings, in the County of London, Consulting Engineer and Chartered Patent
Agent, de hereby declare the nature of this invention (as communicated to me
from abroad by Chemische Fabrik Rhenania, of Aachen, in the Empire of
Germany), 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 the production of a tasteless remedy for those suffering
from gout, who are now-a-days mostly treated with lithium waters, the said
remedy being at the same time a concentrated and easily digestible food. A
further advantage of this invention accrues from the fact that certain remedies
in chemical combination with albumins are highly efficacious and also agree with
the digestive organs.
It has been found by experiment that in order to obtain a soluble combination
neutral to phenol-phthalein, 2.2 parts of lithium hydroxide are necessary for
100 parts of air dry casein.
If freshly precipitated wet casein is used, quantitative changes are obtained
even with difficulty soluble or insoluble lithium salts (trilithium phosphate).
Dry casein which is triturated with dry lithium hydroxide yields a product soluble
in boiling water, but this mode of production is not to be recommended partly
because the product is not so homogeneous as when the wet casein is used and
partly because the physical properties of the product are not as good in the
former oase.
FIRST EXAMPLE.
100 parts of casein, calculated on the air dried product, are triturated with
3.5 parts of lithium carbonate the mixture being slightly heated for some time,
until the product shews that the change is complete. Subsequently the whole
mass is dried at a low temperature and then ground.
SECOND EXAMPLE.
100 parts of casein calculated on the air dried product are triturated with

page_text: salts, such combinations being soluble in water, by mixing lithium salts such
as lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate or trilithium phosphate and heating the
mass or drying it at a low temperature by known means so as to obtain it in a
dry or pulverulent form.

herein set forth.

Improvements in Compositions for Filling the Pores of Wood
Preparatory to Polishing.
I, JOHN GIBBS, of Chapel Hill, Halstead, Essex, Furniture Dealer, 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 is a composition to be applied to wood for the purpose of filling
or closing the pores or grain of the same so as to secure a smoother surface, and
thus assist in obtaining a more brilliant polish.
I am aware that other compositions are used for this purpose, but my com-
position differs from these in the ingredients of which it is composed, and the
effects produced. Most of the compositions now in use raise the grain of the
wood, which is not the case with my composition.
To prepare my composition I first macerate one part of shellac in about eight
parts of methylated spirit. This mixture is then further mixed with linseed
oil in the proportion or 1 to 4 by volume. To this prepared liquid is added one-
sixth of its weight of ground alum, one-sixth of pumice powder, one-third of
plaster of Paris, and two-thirds of whitening, so that the ingredients of the whole
composition are substantially as hereunder stated.
Shellac, methylated spirit, & linseed oil
Ground alum
Pumice powder
Plaster of Paris
Whitening
The whole mixture is stirred and is at once ready for use.

It is not necessary
to rub off at the time of applying the composition as the rubbing off can be done
at any time and to any extent. Polishing can be started as soon as the com-
position has been applied.
It is best applied with a rag or polisher's wad, but a brush can be used if so
desired.
The composition should be kept in air tight vessels.
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 manufacture and use of a composition for filling the pores of wood pre-
paratory to polishing, consisting of the above named ingredients in the propor-
tions specified substantially as described.

Improved Lasts, Trees and the like for Boots and Shoes.

Improved Lasts, Trees and the like for Boots and Shoes.
I, WILHELM ROESER, of Leipzigerstrasse 31, Erfurt, in the Empire of Germany,
Manufacturer, 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 wooden lasts and trees used at present for boots and shoes are always
subject, even when the best material and properly dried wood is employed, to
great changes as regards shape. Such alterations are then remedied as far as
possible by means of filling pieces or additions and the like, which remedy is
neither lasting nor always answers the purpose, and further such repairs or
alterations occupy a considerable time.
In many cases lasting trees split in consequence of rapid changes from moisture
to dryness, such lasts becoming absolutely useless.
Then fashion changes so rapidly as regards the shape of boots, that many lasts
and trees having been but little used have to be put aside and replaced by new
ones, thus causing great expense.
The lasts or trees made of cast iron or similar metal are not subject to any change
as regards shape, but they are very expensive, heavy and clumsy, besides they
are subject to rust, which entails a considerable loss of time in cleaning them.
In consequence of these drawbacks lasts or trees made of wood are still generally
preferred. In working with machines the soles of the ordinary wooden boot
lasts and trees are partially or wholly covered with a metal plate; this however
is accompanied by the disadvantage that the plate will project beyond the wood
after the latter has become thoroughly dry, and when taken out from the boot
or shoe is liable to tear the lining, or otherwise injure the boot. These drawbacks
and disadvantages are all remedied by the present invention, according to which,
lasts or trees and the like are made of aluminium, which is a material as light as
wood, is not liable to change as regards shape, and can be re-cast, with only an
inconsiderable loss as regards material: and the articles require no finishing
after being cast, and answer all purposes to which a good last or tree can be put.
Inasmuch as aluminium will inelt at a low temperature there is another great
advantage to be derived from employing it, inasmuch as anybody may produce
his own lasts having provided himself with the moulds for casting them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
Lasts trees and the like made of aluminium.
Improvements in Metallic Conduits for Electric Wires.

page_text: Improvements in Metallic Conduits for Electric Wires.
I, EDWIN TRUMAN GREENFIELD, of No. 527, West 34th Street, New York,
United States of America, Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention 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 improvements in metallic conduits for electric wires.
As heretofore used, metallic conduits for containing electric wires have been made
air tight and water tight, particularly where the interiors of such conduits have been
lined with an insulating substance, the object being to prevent the oxidation of
the pipe and injury to or deterioration of the insulating lining. The use of such
conduits has been attended with certain practical difficulties, namely, changes of
temperature have produced internal sweating of unlined conduits, and as no means
were provided for the ventilation of the same, the moisture injuriously affected
the insulation of the wires, and caused the oxidation of the pipe. But the most
serious difficulty was that the presence of the moisture was liable to produce a
short circuit between the electric wires themselves or between the wires. and the
metal pipe. When this occurred with currents of large amperage, the gases
which were developed by the heat produced by the short circuits would expand
until the conduit would burst. This rupture usually occurred at the heated spot,
and the hot metal and burning particles of insulating material were scattered
through the surrounding space or apartment and were liable to produce a de-
structive fire. This danger is insidious, since the short circuit is liable to take
place in the walls of unoccupied rooms, or when concealed in remote places, so
that the resulting fire has an opportunity to gather headway before it is detected.
My invention is particularly designed to guard against these dangers and it
consists in a metallic conduit vented radially in all directions throughout its
length, so as to permit the free circulation of the atmosphere to its interior, and
to provide an outlet for the gases generated by a short circuit, so that they cannot
collect in sufficient volume to create an explosion. As a result of this construc-
tion, the chances of fire from a short circuit between the electric wires in the
conduit, or between the wires and the conduit itself, are greatly reduced, for while
the metal may become highly heated so that in certain positions it might set fire
to adjacent wood work, yet the process would be relatively slow, and the fact
and location of the short circuit would be disclosed by the smoke coming through
the vents in all directions. The ventilation of the conduit also secures immunity

Improvements in or connected with the Heels of Boots and Shoes.
I, OSCAR LIETZMANN, of 44, Rosenthalerstrasse I, Berlin, in the Empire of
Germany, 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:-
As the foot in walking always comes into contact with the ground through
the medium of the heel, or that part of the covering of the foot lying immediately
underneath the heel, the last named experiences a shock, or concussion, at every
step. In the course of a long walk, particularly on hard roadways, for instance,
street pavements or stony roads, the heel is unavoidably affected, fatigue is pro-
duced and after a time, especially in the case of a nervous person, much irritation
also, owing to the continuous shaking of the body.
This invention has for its object to provide means for preventing shock or
concussion from being imparted to the foot from the heel of the boot and consists
substantially in an elastic cushion inserted between the heel and that part of the
shoe which comes against the heel.
In the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a sectional view of the cushion or
inserted piece and the adjoining part of the shoe, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the
inserted piece.
a is the back part of the shoe and 6 the heel. In the back part a the cushion c
is inserted. The cushion c consists of a thin layer of india-rubber, which may
be secured to the sole by any suitable adhesive material or connected therewith
in any other suitable manner in the process of manufacturing the shoe.
The fore part of the cushion slopes down to a point, so as to gradually come
level with the sole in a way that is convenient for the foot.
If, however, the cushion c be inserted in the sole in the process of manufacturing
the shoe, the sloping formation d is unnecessary.
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:
Elastic cushion or inserted piece for the heels of shoes, consisting of an india-
rubber layer or lining, let into the sole or attached thereto by means of some
adhesive material, and with, or without, a sloping formation in the direction of
the fore part of the sole.

Process for Solidifying Spirits.
I, ROBERT FALLNICHT, of Altona, 75 Langenfelderstrasse, Germany, Manu-
facturer, 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 a new and improved process for solidifying spirits of
which the following is a full and clear description.
I first take 100 kilos. of spirits and heat the same by any desired means to
65° Centigrade. Second, in a suitable vessel as an earthen pot, 1 kilo. of
sodium hydroxide (NaOH) of good quality is dissolved with 2 liters of water.
It must be so arranged that if the spirits is heated to 65° C. the sodium hydroxide
has also cooled to the same degree (if under 60° C. it must become quickly
heated in a crucible protected from the admission of the carbonic acid of the
air. In an earthen pot of 9-10 liters capacity is placed 5 kilos of the above
spirits (at 650 C.) and, while stirring the same, 3 kilos. of the said solution of sodium
hydroxide is thereto added. If the latter is too hot or the mixture stands too long
it turns brown, which action is to be avoided.
Third-In an iron vessel from 15 liters capacity, is melted 5 kilos. of stearic
acid (at which the temperature dares not go much above 70° C.) and then the
eight kilos. (8 kilos.) of spirit-sodium hydroxide solution is poured in while
stirring.
Fourth In a large mixing vessel of from one hundred and twenty to one
hundred and forty (120-140) liters capacity (and made of iron, wood, etc.) pour
nearly all the remaining 95 kilo. of spirits and allow the 13 kilos. of spirit-sodium
hydroxide solution at 65° Centigrade while stirring to enter. The remaining
spirits can be used for rinsing the vessels.
-
Having now 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 :-
I/ The process for solidifying spirits substantially as and in the manner
herein before set forth and described.
II/ The process for solidifying spirits in which from a quantity of 100 kilos.
of spirits heated to 65° C., five kilos. are mixed at that temperature with 3 kilos. of
a solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and this mixture stirred with 5 kilos.
of melted stearic acid, after which the remaining 95 kilos. of spirits aforesaid is
added to the preparation thus formed, substantially as described.

Improvements in Speed Regulators for Internal Combustion Engines.
I, ALOIS BAUER, of Donanvörth, Bavaria, in the Empire of Germany, Engine
Manufacturer, 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:-
This invention relates to an improved speed regulator for internal combustion
engines the object being to construct a regulator both simple and inexpensive and
efficient in its action.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention the following is a
complete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which:-
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a cylinder having the improved regulator.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the regulator.
Fig. 3 is a sectional side view of the end of the cylinder and the regulator.
Fig. 4 is a side view of the regulator.
According to this invention the lever 1 is oscillated or set in motion on its
fulcrum 2 by the bar 3 connected with the eccentric of the engine, and this oscillat-
ing or rocking motion causes the outlet valve 4 to be opened and closed. On the
end of the lever 1 is mounted a roller or runner 5 which operates on the regulating
lever 6 which is held in contact with the roller or runner 5 by the spring 7 in
order to get a very exact regulation. The inlet valve 8 unlike the outlet valve 4
is self acting, being opened by the sucking effect of the back stroke of the piston
in the cylinder. This opening of the inlet valve 8 is ensured by making its
controlling spring considerably weaker than the spring 9.
When the engine starts, the lever 1 presses downwards and opens the outlet
valve 4 and at the same time the roller 5 is moved under the nose or cam 10 fixed
on the regulating lever 6 and the latter is thereby moved upwards. The quicker
the engine runs the more the lever 6 is moved upwards by the roller or runner 5
passing under the projecting surface of the nose or cam 10 until it moves so far
that the outlet valve 4 is arrested and held open by means of the projection 11 on the
arm 12 of the lever 6, the gas inlet valve is not opened but the valve 4 sucks in
air, the explosions in the cylinder are diminished and the engine runs at a slower
speed.
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:
(1) The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts constituting
the improved speed regulator as and for the purpose herein described and
substantially as illustrated by the annexed drawings.
(2) The regulating lever 6 arm 12 projection Il and nose or cam 10 controlled

Physician and Surgeon, 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 a cork for a medicine or other bottle provided with
means of apprising any person attempting to open the bottle that its contents are
dangerous.
For this purpose I arrange the cork as I shall describe referring to the
accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the upper part of a bottle with a cork according
to my invention inserted, and Fig. 2 is a plan.
I punch out of thin sheet metal such as tin plate, a star a, and I attach this
to the cork by a wire b passed through a hole of the star and through the cork,
the one end of the wire being bent into an eye, and the other end bent over the
end of the cork. In order to provide against the safety cork being removed or
mislaid, I attach the cork to the neck of the bottle by a cord or wire c preferably
made with a slip-knot loop so that it can readily be put on the bottle neck.
When a person applies his fingers to remove the cork he feels at once by the
pricking of the star points, that the bottle is one that may contain dangerous
liquid. He can remove the cork by using a handkerchief or other fabric to
protect his fingers, but he would only do this after knowing the dangerous nature
of the contents of the phial.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim
is:
-
In combination with the cork of a bottle a star of sheet metal attached to the
cork, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

On the top of each of the wooden side strips we place a metal strip band on the
end strip a metal strip c secured to the wooden strips by the rivets a by which
they are secured to the base A.
The end strip c is preferably thicker than the side strips 6 and bent or cut out
as shown to make the strips level on top, while allowing the side strips to
overlap the end strips, which, when rivetted or otherwise fastened together in
conjunction with the wood strips and bottom plate, forms an exceedingly strong
frame with the minimum of weight.
The edges of the strips b and c coincide with the edges of the wood strips and
form straight edges for the type.
This galley may be provided with drainage apertures as described in the
Specification of our former Patent No. 15142 of 1899.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. A printers galley constructed with a metallic base plate A in combination
with side and end strips of wood B and C secured thereto and strips of metal 6 o

page_text: placed on top of the wooden strips and firmly secured thereto by rivets or other-
wise substantially as described.

A Method of Preventing the Contents of a Book, Magazine, News-
paper, Periodical, and any other such like Article from being
Opened, Soiled, or Damaged Before it Reaches the Hands of the
Purchaser or the like.
We, JAMES RUDDOCK, 29, Tregarvon Road, Clapham Common, S.W.,
Publisher, and WILLIAM WARD, 69, Capel Road, Forest Gate, Essex, Journalist,
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:-
This invention relates to a method of preventing the contents of a book,
magazine, newspaper, periodical and the like from being opened, soiled or
damaged before it reaches the hands of the purchaser or the like.
To obtain this object we extend the covers of the book, magazine, newspaper
or periodical, one inch, more or less (we do not limit ourselves to any definite
size) beyond the inner leaves. These extensions we fasten together with any
suitable adhesive substance such as gum, paste or the like, or we may cause
them to be wired or stitched or fastened together in any other way.
This
extension of the outer covers is preferably perforated down their entire length so
as to be easily torn off or removed. We may extend the covers on all sides of
the book, magazine, newspaper or periodical, or at any one side or portion of
sides or at any or all of the corners. We may also accomplish our object by
extending only one side of the cover of the book newspaper, magazine or
periodical and causing it to overlap and adhere to the other side. Any portion,
or the whole of one side or of all the sides of the cover may overlap and be
caused to adhere to the other side of the cover. In a modification we may cause
a slip of paper or other material to be fastened on to the two leaves of the cover
in any place or position on the said cover or at all sides of the book, newspaper,
magazine or periodical, to prevent its contents being read, used, soiled or
damaged before reaching the hands of the purchaser or the like. We may use
these extensions for advertising purposes, or for displaying any printed matter
thereon.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
-
1. A means of preventing the contents of a book, magazine, newspaper,
periodical and any other such like article from being opened, soiled or damaged
before it reaches the hands of the purchaser or the like.
2. A means of preventing the contents of a book, magazine, newspaper,
periodical and any other such like article from being opened soiled or damaged
before it reaches the hands of the purchaser or the like by extending the outer
covers or any portion of the covers of the book, magazine, newspaper, or periodical

New or Improved Process and Material for Impregnating Wood and
the like.
I, JULIUS SCHENKEL, of 9, Hohenzollernstrasse, Dortmund, in the German
Empire, Chemist, 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:―
According to certain of the processes heretofore in use for reducing the com-
bustibility of wood and other material the wood or other material is first boiled in
a lye of sulphate of iron and clay, and then in a lye of calcium chloride and lime.
By the action of the acid salts in a boiling heat a partial loosening of the
fibres of the wood is produced, and in the second boiling process a deposit of
gypsum on the fibres of the wood must occur on the meeting together of the salt
solutions in the interior of the wood, whereby the cells are more or less burst or
broken open, and injured both chemically and mechanically.
These evil effects are obviated by the use of the present invention according to
which the wood is not boiled but is merely submitted to a soaking process in a
liquid of the following composition.
50 to 100 parts of burnt lime dissolved in a solution of 100 parts of fused calcium
chloride in 350 parts of water, or in a 15 to 20 per cent. Iye of calcium chloride.
The solution of the lime is preferably facilitated by stirring or agitating, and it
is advisable to use the material thus produced while it is fresh.
The caustic lime is added to the calcium chloride solution. in order to correct
the hygroscopic property of the calcium chloride, that is to say in order to
thoroughly dry the compound both in and on the wood by the production of a
solution of basic calcium chloride.
As is well known calcium chloride solution alone always makes wood moist and
greasy by absorbing water from the air.
The soaking in or impregnation with the new liquid may be preceded by one
of the known processes used for other liquids, for example timber may be exhausted
of air in a closed vessel, and then be impregnated with the above described liquid
under pressure, after which the drying may be effected in the usual way.
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 I claim
is:
Impregnating wood and similar material with a solution of calcium chloride
and lime hydrate in water without boiling, substantially as described.

Composition for Expelling or Driving Away Rats and other Vermin.
We, EBEN DOWIE, Consulting Engineer, and THE FARAMEL MANUFACTURING
COMPANY, LIMITED, Manufacturers of Compositions of Matter, all of 62, McGill
Street, in the City and District of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, Canada,
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: --
Our composition consists of the following ingredients in the proportions stated,
Chili pepper 20 per cent. hellabore 5 per cent. and pulverulent base, such as white
char or the ash of anthracite coal, of 75 per cent. the latter ingredient to form
the carrying medium for the hellabore and the pepper.
This mixture is thoroughly mingled and makes a fine powder.
It is intended to be sprinkled on the premises where rats and other vermin are
troublesome and from its intense irritating and burning qualities effectually
prevents the vermin from again invading the places where it has been used. It
also does away with the great trouble of having the vermin die around the place.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim as our invention is:-
The herein described composition of matter consisting of Chili pepper, and
hellabore and as a base a suitable powdered carrying medium, such as white
char or the ash of anthracite coal, substantially in or about the proportions
named.

Improvements in Writing Pads.
ROBERT SAMUEL CRAWFORD FULLER, of No. 677, Broadway, New York City,
County and State of New York, United States of America, Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a writing or memorandum pad adapted to be sus-
pended from a finger and to be held within the palm of a hand. The pad is
composed preferably of a number of leaves or tablets turning on a common stud,
and combined with a wire loop that embraces the finger and which will auto-
matically adjust itself to different diameters.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of my improved pad, showing it secured to
the hand.
Fig. 2 is a rear perspective view of the pad, and
Fig. 3 a cross section on line 3, 3, Figure 2.
The letters a, a, represent a number of superposed leaves or tablets made of
card-board, ivory, celluloid, silicate, slate or similar material, and preferably of
circular shape. The several leaves a, are pierced near their periphery for the
reception of a common connecting pivot or eyelet b, upon which the leaves are
rotatable, so that their writing surfaces may be successively exposed.
At the back the pivot or eyelet b, is extended, and to this projecting end,
there is secured a continuous spring wire, which is doubly looped as at c, c¹.
The loop c, lies flat against the rearmost tablet a, while the loop c¹, extends at
about right angles therefrom, the bend in the wire being formed at about the
crossing point of its shanks.
In use, the loop c', is slipped over the finger, so that the pad is held securely
against the palm of the hand. The loop c¹, will automatically adjust itself to the
diameter of the finger, its increase or decrease being taken up by a correspond-
ing decrease or increase in the diameter of loop c. This latter loop c, thus forms
the complement of loop c¹, and serves at the same time to form a rigid backing
for the pad.
It is evident that the pad may be composed of a single writing tablet, instead
of a number of such tablets, as illustrated in the drawing.
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:-
1. A writing pad composed of a tablet and of a doubly-looped wire bent at an
angle, one of the loops forming a backing for the tablet and the other loop form-
ing an attaching medium, substantially as specified.
2. A writing pad composed of a number of tablets, a rearwardly extending con-

page_text: necting pivot, and a doubly-looped spring wire connected to said pivot, the loops
extending at an angle to one another, substantially as specified.
3. The improved writing pad, substantially as herein shown and described.
