Decorative Tiles.
I, DAVID YEWDALL CLIFF, of the firm of John Cliff and Sons, Exchange,
Leeds, in the County of York, Chemical Stoneware Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object the raising or cutting out of any design upon
tiles for ornamental purposes after the tile or other ornament has been burnt,
hitherto the tile or ornament has had the design raised or cut out before burning
with the apparent disadvantage of the design not being so correct or effective,
inasmuch as the fitting together of the pattern of the design is not exact,
thus detracting from the general effect. In the case of formation of any design

Leeds, in the County of York, Chemical Earthenware 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 has for its object, the raising or cutting out of any design upon
tiles for ornamental purposes after the tile or other ornament has been burnt.
Hitherto the tile or ornament has had the design raised or cut out before burning,
with the apparent disadvantage of the design not being so correct or effective,
inasmuch as the fitting together of the pattern of the design is not exact, thus
detracting from the general effect.
In the case of formation of any design by liquid cement, by my invention the
ornamentation is effected after solidification.
There are well known means of carrying my new manufacture into effect, for
instance a sand blast apparatus of ordinary construction will cut out of the solid
tile or ornament any design with mechanical precision, and thus enable the various
parts to be fitted together with a degree of accuracy hitherto unattainable.
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 :-
The method of effecting ornamentation in tiles and the like after solidification
substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

Unhairing" or Pulling."
I FREDERICK RICHARD MAGGS of Yeovil in the County of Somerset Pharma-
ceutical 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 :-
My invention consists in the application of crude sulphide of barium containing
soluble sulphides mixed with hydrate of calcium as an improvement in the process
known as "unhairing" or "pulling" in the preparation of skins kips and hides.
These skins kips or hides are brushed with a mixture of the above named sub-
stances made into a paste with water to the consistency of thin gruel and treated
precisely as in the ordinary process of "unhairing" or "pulling."
The strength of the mixture is entirely dependent upon the quality and nature of
the skins, kips, or hides undergoing treatment as also the nature of the process or
processes through which they have passed previously. For ordinary skins it would
require about ten pounds of crude sulphide of barium to forty pounds of hydrate of
calcium.
These proportions are either increased or decreased to meet the nature of the skin.
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 use of crude sulphide of barium with hydrate of calcium as an improvement
in the process known as "unhairing" or "pulling" in the preparation of skins, kips,
and hides.

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
An improvement in artificial flies for fishing made as follows:
The wings made of areophane and all or other kinds of gauze, strengthened with
floss silk and waterproofed. Body made of pure flexible rubber or any other
material.
The wing is made upon a foundation of arcophane or other suitable gauze, upon
which strands of floss silk are laid to strengthen it and to form the veins of the
wing. A small piece of quill is then added to form the stem of the wing.
When the above materials have been placed in the required position, they are
saturated with a waterproof composition, which when dry, holds the materials
together in the required position and shape and also makes the wing water-
proof.
The wing is then cut to the required shape.
The body of fly is made of india rubber, straw, silk, cork, or other suitable
material into the required shape, and the legs, feelers, and wings are then attached
in the requisite positions to form the complete fly.
The whole is then saturated with the waterproof composition, which when dry
fixes the position and shape of the different materials of which the fly is made and
also makes it waterproof.
I claim that the word "fly" includes all flies and insects that may be used for
angling purposes.
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:
1st. The method of manufacturing the wings and bodies of artificial flies, sub-
stantially as described in the above Specification.

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 improvements in brooms, brushes, and other means for
sweeping or cleaning roadways, and for other like purposes. The object of the same
being to form the sweeping or cleaning parts of such brooms or brushes and the like,
which come into contact with the ground, so that they will be better able to withstand
the friction and wear and tear caused by their contact with the rough roadways and
the like, than those heretofore in use.
In carrying my invention into practical effect, I form the body of the brush for
instance, into which the bristles are fixed, in the ordinary manner but instead of
fitting same with sweeping means, consisting of pieces of bass and cane, as heretofore
used, and which will not stand the rough usuage imposed upon it, when applied to
road-sweeping machines, and the brooms and brushes used by scavengers, for any
length of time, I fit the said body of the broom or brush with strips of whalebone,
horn, steel wire, and sprigs of heath and birch.
I may also use strips of cane, and pieces of bass in combination with the afore-
mentioned materials.
I fasten these materials which form the sweeping or cleaning part of a brush or
the like, in the ordinary manner, by inserting them into perforations, and by the use
of glue or other equivalent adhesive means, or by any other suitable means employed
in fixing the said sweeping materials into the body of a brush, broom or the like.
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 improvements in brooms, brushes, and other sweeping means, consisting in the
employment of whalebone, horn, steel wires, heath, and birch, used in conjunction
with or without bass, and cane, to form the sweeping or cleaning parts of such
brooms, brushes, and other sweeping means, substantially as hereinbefore described,

Improvements in the Treatment of Minerals used in the Manufacture

GEORGE LUDWIG SCHULTZ, Engineer Botolph House 10 Eastcheap London E.C.
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 said invention has for its objects to treat minerals used in the manufacture of
glass, china, earthenware &c. in an improved manner, primarily for the purpose of
extracting any iron which may be found therein, and this invention has especial
reference to a material called granulite, Meldon stone, found in the neighbourhood
of Okehampton in Devon and elsewhere, but has reference also to the treatment of
other stone such as Cornwall stone, clays and sand. By my treatment of the
minerals I employ acids, preferably hydrochloric or similar acid, strong or in
solution. The acid I apply to the mineral in a finely ground or subdivided state,
preferably when dry, in vessels suitably constructed for mixing the acid with the
mineral. I then by means of suitable mixing apparatus thoroughly mix the
material with the acid. Whilst in a semi moist condition, the material is allowed
to rest, I then add water in such quantities as to dissolve the acids and the salts
of iron, held in solution by the acids. I then, after several washings, add a small
percentage of alkali to remove any free acid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner same is to be performed I declare what I claim is :-
(1) The use or acids in the extraction of iron by the aforesaid process, sub-
stantially as described, from minerals as described.
(2) To make useable, for the manufacture of, glass, earthenware &c., the aforesaid
minerals, named:-granulite or Meldon stone, such not having the necessary
properties, without the elimination of the iron contained for use of various kinds
of glass, china, earthenware &c.

An Improved Process to be Employed for Hardening Steel.
I JOHN HENRY BRAMWELL of 55 Garden Street Sheffield in the County of York
File 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, that is to say :-
My Invention relates to the hardening of steel by a simple effective and inexpensive
process, whereby greater toughness is obtained and the risk of the steel cracking is
minimised.
In carrying out this process in practice, I provide a suitably sized and conveniently
placed vessel or receptacle to hold water, in this vessel I put a sufficient quantity (to
suit the size of the article to be hardened) of fresh water, or water strongly impreg-
nated with salt, that is, about as much salt as the water will hold in solution. This
water I cause to be heated to a temperature varying, say, from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit, I then immerse the article to be hardened in
the hot water and I violently agitate the article therein, which agitation is to be con-
tinued until the article is considered to be sufficiently hardened.
When required to harden such articles as anvils, large dies, or other articles com-
posed either entirely or partly of steel, where only the face or a part of the article
requires hardening, a continuous stream of the water, heated to the before named
temperature, must be poured onto the steel face or other steel part of the article until
sufficiently hardened.
This process can be advantageously employed in hardening all such articles as
swords, bayonets, knives, razors, scissors, shears, sheep shear blades, hammers, edge
tools, carpenters' or engineers' tools, miners' picks, mill-stone picks, miners' tools,
butchers' steels, files, rasps, and, in fact, all steel or partly steel tools or articles which
have usually been hardened in water, that is, cold water.
"
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 :-
The more perfect and better hardening of steel, or articles made either entirely or
partly of steel, by treating the same in or with hot water heated to a special tempera-
ture in conjunction with violently agitating the article or articles, whilst immersed in
the hot water, until sufficiently hardened; substantially as hereinbefore described or
set forth.

Improvements in Artificial Teeth.
I, ARTHUR EDWARD ASHI, of 141, Maida Vale, in the County of Middlesex,
Dental Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
At the present time artificial teeth are formed of porcelain with a pin or pins of
wire projecting out from them at the back. The porcelain material of which the
teeth have been formed has required to be subjected to intense heat when being
baked or fired, and the pins have hitherto always been made of platinum as they
have to be capable of withstanding this intense heat.
According to my invention I form artificial teeth with the pins made from an
alloy of silver and platinum or from other alloy or metal less expensive but having
a lower melting point than platinum. This I am enabled to do by forming the
teeth from porcelain material which does not require to be fired at so high a
temperature as the materials now used and consequently the pins will not have to be
subjected to so intense a heat as formerly.

Improvements in Paper Bags.
JOHN EDWARD KINGSFORD 6 Hawkstone Road, Rotherhithe London, Commercial
Clerk, and ALFRED THOMAS HOPE, 175 Adelaide Road, Hampstead London,
Commercial Traveller 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 present forms of paper bags in use for carrying light articles such as fruit,
biscuits, and confectionery, are without handles, and consequently very inconvenient
to carry any long distance. To meet this objection we propose to attach to the sides
of paper bags by means of circular pieces of paper glued thereon, handles consisting
of tape, string or bass, and thus render the carrying of light purchases as above
mentioned, easy and secure.
It has been found by testing that handles fastened in this manner are capable of
withstanding a considerable strain. The handles can be attached to ordinary paper
bags of any shape or size, providing the paper of which the bags consist is sufficiently
strong.
Having now particularly described & 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:
-
The attachment of handles to paper bags for convenience of carrying light articles
such as fruit, biscuits, and confectionery, instead of by the present forms of bags in
use, without such attachment.
