Fig. 2 an end view, and
Fig. 3 a section of one of the blades.
Two sets of blades are used, the blades A for forward propulsion, B for backing
the vessel.
The novelty of the device consists in the form of the blades.
The cutting
side, a', of the blade A, is flat, and offers the minimum of resistance, its edge lying
in the plane of its revolution. The opposite side, a, is concave, like the bowl of a
spoon, terminating in a curved tip. The curvature is sufficient to bring the edge
and tip in the same direction as the shaft C, which carries the blades. The effect
upon the water is to force it in a straight line, back from the boat, so that the
entire reaction is communicated to the vessel, exactly in the direction of her forward
movement. The blades are set upon the shaft at an angle of about forty-five
degrees, their effectiveness being this greatly increased.
The form of blade described is inoperative when reversed, and a second series, B,
is placed upon the shaft immediately forward of the blades A, and in exactly the
reverse position, for the purpose of backing the vessel.
As shown, the two series of blades are carried upon the same shaft, so that
whichever the direction of revolution, one series is effective, and the other is not.
A decided advantage may be secured in efficiency, though at an increased cost of
construction, by attaching the blades B to a hollow shaft, and the blades A upon an
independent solid shaft working within it, so that the screws may be turned
separately.
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 :--
A screw propeller having two sets of blades inclined respectively backward and
forward from the perpendicular, each blade having one of its edges directed in the
plane of its rotary movement, and its opposite edge directed in a plane parallel with
the axis of the screw, the concave surface of the several blades being in the
direction of their inclination, substantially as described.

A Moustache Guard for Cups.
1, JOSEPH BARNETT of Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Boot 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:-
This invention relates to a removable moustache guard so constructed that it
can be applied to and held on cups of various sizes.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view shewing a moustache guard according to this
invention applied to a cup which is partly indicated by dotted lines.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the guard inverted to shew its under side.
The guard consists of two plates A and B fitted to slide the one A over the
other B, the edge of A being guided in a bent over lip C of the plate B. At the
ends of the plates A and B are downwardly projecting inclined lips D which fit
within the edge of the cup, and pairs of pins E E which project down outside the
edge of the cup. A wire F fitted in sockets G forms a guide and two draw:"
springs H having their ends attached, the one end to A and the other end to B,
strain the outer ends of the two plates A and B towards each other and con-
sequently cause them to hold with a certain degree of tightness on the edge of the
cup, from which the guard can at once be removed by drawing the ends of the
plates somewhat apart and lifting them from the cup.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A moustache guard for cups, substantially as described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawings.

invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide means for preventing the stretching
of driving belts, to make them more durable and stronger.
For carrying out our invention we take ordinary leather, canvas or any other
form of belting and on the outside surface we fix in a convenient manner a con-
tinuous strip of flexible metal, such as steel or other suitable metal. The metal
strip may be fastened to the belting by rivets or other means, whereby we obviate
stretching of the belt which usually occurs when in ordinary belting and neces-
sitates the belt being tightened up. A further advantage is the increased strength
of.the belt and that narrower belting may be used than in the old forms of belting
which frequently is desirable.

Improved Seat Pillar and Handle Bar Pillar for Cycles.
I, HENRY BIRCHALL CLAYSON, New Howe Machine Co., Ltd., Victoria
Street, Bristol, 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 relates to an improvement in the pillars of cycles whether the
pillar which supports the seat or the handle bar.
With regard to the seat pillar it is well-known that different riders require a
higher or lower adjustment of the seat upon the pillar as the case may be and also
that most riders like if possible to ride always at the same height as they usually
have done before.
Now under the old system whereby the seat is supported upon a pillar adjusted
by a clip in the ordinary way complaints are frequently made that the same
elevation is not ascertainable as it should be at a glance and that there is a
difficulty in keeping a record of the exact height of the seat. In order to remove
this difficulty and obtain uniformity of elevation I construct a measure (preferably
the ordinary measure of feet and inches) as seen in the accompanying drawings
upon the pillar E which passes through the clip A and is there secured at the
point on the measure desired. The rider can then remember his usual seat
elevation and whether his cycle is used by another and the elevation altered or
whether he wishes to ride another cycle the seat can be readily adjusted to his
usual elevation.
The same remarks apply to the pillar which supports the handle bar. Most
riders prefer different heights and wish to adhere to the same elevations. I
therefore construct my measure upon the pillar C. which is fastened by the clip D.
at the point desired. The bar handle B. is by that means raised or lowered
accordingly.
The measure or rule may be indented upon the pillars in the ordinary way or
marked in any convenient form.
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
In seat pillars or handle bar pillars for cycles a fixed measure or rule indented
or otherwise marked upon or in connection with the pillars so as to indicate the
elevation of the seat or handle bar respectively.

statement:
This invention more especially relates to jiggering or bevelling the ends of
casks.
I perform this operation whilst the trussed cask is held in the trussing bell, the
mouth of which is open at its top end.
I fit on to the upright spindle or shaft a tool or cutter head on to which is fixed
a knife like cutter or cutters; the cutters should have their edges askew to give the
bevel.
The spindle is concentric with the cask and the cutter head corresponds in size
with the mouth of the cask and is caused to descend into it a suitable distance.
I make the cutters with their rear ends turned up at right angles, in these ends.
and in the bodies of the cutters I make slots through which screws with lock nuts
are put so that the cutters can be adjusted and set to suit any diameter of cask.
The downward movement of the cutter head as it enters the cask is regulated by
a stop or guide at the will of the operator.
The shaft on which the cutter head is fixed can be raised or lowered automatically
with or without counter balance weights or as in a drilling machine.

I, MAX SANDT of 77 Herforderstrasse, Bielefeld, in the Kingdom of Prussia
and German Empire, Works Manager, 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 the combination with sewing machines of existing
types, of mechanical or moving figures, such as the figures of human beings and
animals. In the machines constructed according to these improvements, some part
of the figure such as the hand, forms part of or holds the needle bar, and participates
in the motion of this part of the machine. Another part may hold or form part
of the presser bar, and be movable therewith. Other parts, such as the head
mouth legs and arms may also be caused to move suitably by the action of the
machine in work. The mechanism of the machine can be included or contained
within the figure.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate in what manner my invention
can be carried into practical effect, and to which reference is hereinafter
made,
Figure 1 is a side view of the machine and figure, which in the case selected is
that of a seated man ;
Figure 2 a diagrammatic side view; and
Figure 3 a diagrammatic plan.
The machine represented is a hand machine, the handle being shewn at K. For
the sake of greater simplicity and clearness, only one of the extended arms a of
the figure is supposed to be movable. This arm carries the needle n, and is
pivoted near the shoulder. Motion is given to it either through the bell crank
lever 6 from the handle shaft, or by any similar device such as is used in machines
of ordinary construction for operating the needle bar.
at
The other arm a¹ is fixed and carries the presser t. The shuttle box is indicated

as are the other details of the machine. The thread spool is shewn at 1', beneath
the seat of the figure.
The figure may be made to enclose the mechanism, and when the machine is at
work, the arm a moves up and down precisely as does the vibrating needle arm of
an ordinary machine.
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 combination with a sewing machine of a moving or mechanical figure the
arm or some part or parts of which move with the operation of the machine;
substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.

Improvements in and relating to Cutting Machines for Paper,
Fabrics, and the like.
CHARLES ARTHUR CHARLTON 37 Ebury Road Sherwood Rise Nottingham
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 :-
My invention refers to guillotines and similar cutting machines, and its object is
to enable narrower strips of paper or fabrics to be cut, than is possible by the
ordinary machines.
In carrying out my invention I form a number of recesses in the front face of the
gauge and corresponding projections upon the back of the clamp so that the gauge
may be brought nearer the cutting edge of the knife and consequently the edge of
the paper or other material also. In order that my invention may be fully under-
stood I have attached hereto one sheet of drawings upon which
Fig. 1 shows a vertical cross section of the gauge, clamp, and knife, and Fig. 2 a
plan of the same with the clamp and knife in section.
The clamp a is guided in the usual manner and brought down upon the material
by a screw a², and in order to get the edge of the fabric nearer to the knife b, and
at the same time up to the gauge c, I form a number of recesses c¹ in the front face
of the latter, and corresponding projections a¹ on the back face of the clamp. By
this arrangement 1 am enabled to cut the material into strips having the same or
a greater width that the front plate a³ of the clanıp, that is to say, 1 can cut strips
having a width less than the total thickness of the clamp a, and a minimum width
equal to the thickness of the plate a³.
The projections a¹ and the recesses c' extend the full width of the clamp and
gauge respectively. The remaining parts of the machine are of the usual
description, and are actuated by the ordinary mechanisms.
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:
:-
In guillotines and similar cutting machines, the construction of the clamp and
gauge, substantially as shown and described, and for the purpose specified.

An Improved Method of and Means for Transporting Soil to Marsh
or Moorlands to Render them Suitable for Cultivation.
I, FRIEDRICH WILHELM ROBERT SCHULTZ, of Schöppenstedt, Brunswick,
in the Empire of Germany, Manager of Works, 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 method of supplying moorlands and rank or sour
marshlands with soil to fit them for cultivation and which can not possibly be done
by carting the soil.
According to my invention I arrange a line of pipes or channels through which
I pump a constant flow of water for the purpose of conveying the soil which I throw
into it. The water forces the soil forward and deposits it on the moor or marsh
land.
It is obvious that by this method 1 am enabled to at once turn large tracts of
moor or like lands into cultivable soil and the pipes or channels being light
can be pushed along the ground without fear of them sinking in as is the case
with carts.
The water for conveying the soil must either be taken from a higher level than
the moor or marsh land or it must be pumped to the required height to allow the
proper inclination of the pipes. This method is not only free from danger but also
very economical inasmuch as it enables the soil to be transported from long dis-
tances and to be continuously discharged at its destination while no empty return
journey has to be considered as when conveying soil by ordinary traffic.
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 herein described method of rendering moors or marsh lands and the like
cultivable such method consisting in transporting soil for raising or laying dry
tracts of land by means of a flow of water through pipes or channels substantially
as set forth.

page_text: In Figures 5, 6, and 7, I have illustrated a further modification of my invention,
in which I use a disc c¹ of cork to cover and close the neck of the bottle, and in
which the inclined projections or lugs a are formed on the outside of the neck of
the bottle, and the correspondingly inclined projections & are formed on the interior
of the stopper, which is adapted to fit over the mouth of the bottle so that the
projections may engage with the projections or lugs a. A partial turn of about a
quarter of a revolution, locks the stopper tightly on the bottle and squeezes the
disc of cork c¹ tightly between the top of the stopper and the top of the bottle-
neck.
Although I have, for convenience, described my invention as applied to bottles,
it is equally applicable to similar vessels, such as jars and 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 improved means herein before described and shown in the accompanying
drawing for stoppering bottles and similar vessels.

Improved Method of Decorating Walls, Ceilings, and similar
Surfaces.
I, GEORGE HOWARD of 25 Berners Street Oxford Street London W., Cabinet
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 :-
My invention has for object to produce a highly ornamental and effective covering
for walls, ceilings, and similar surfaces at comparatively small cost. I paint or
otherwise color the surface to be decorated with any desired color or tint :-this
can, of course, also be done by papering the wall or surface with paper of the
desired tint. I then cover the surface so colored as above described with a piece
of lace of any desired color, affixing the lace to the surface which it is intended to
cover by means of size or by stretching on a frame or by other suitable means, so
that the lace shall lie evenly on the surface to be covered.
The class of lace which I find best fitted for the purpose and most effective is
that known by the name of 'Nottingham lace.' This may be dyed or otherwise
colored so as to be of the same tint as the ground surface to which it is to be
applied, or so as to afford a contrast more or less strong. Whether the lace be of
the same color as the ground or a different one the pattern of the lace shows up
most effectively on the surface. The lace when applied to the surface may be
further touched or painted so as to enhance the effect.
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 method of decorating walls, ceilings, and similar surfaces with lace dyed or
otherwise colored in manner substantially as above described.

An Improvement in the Drying and Curing of Malt.
I, THOMAS HAYNES Junior of Radcliffe on Trent in the County of Nottingham,
Maltster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
In kiln drying malt it is advantageous to dry it in a thin layer, in order to save
time and fuel and to avoid the change of quality which may take place when the
drying occupies long time. It is also advantageous, in curing or cooking malt, to
treat the dried malt in a thick layer. My invention relates to a method of treating
malt in such a way as to secure these advantages. For this purpose, in dealing
with a given quantity of green malt, I divide it into two, three or more portions
and dry each of these portions separately as a thin layer. I then, after having
dried the separate portions, pile them together in a comparatively thick layer and
subject them to the heating required for cooking or curing.

An Improvement in the Drying and Curing of Malt.
I, THOMAS HAYNES Junior, of Radcliffe on Trent, in the County of Nottingham,
Maltster, 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 :-
In kiln drying malt it is advantageous to dry it in a thin layer in order to save
time and fuel and to avoid the change of quality which may take place when the
drying occupies long time. It is also advantageous in curing or cooking malt to
treat the dried malt in a thick layer.
My invention relates to a method of treating malt in such a way as to secure
these advantages.
For this purpose, in dealing with a given quantity of green malt I divide it into
two three or more portions and dry each of these portions separately as a thin
layer, I then, after having dried the separate portions, subject them in a com-
paratively thick layer to the heating required for cooking or curing. As an
example, I may divide a steep of green malt into three separate portions each
forming a layer say 4 inches deep and dry these on separate kilns or successively
on one kiln.
When all are sufficiently dried, I bring them together in one layer of triple
depth for curing. When only one kiln is employed I complete the process without
removing any portion of the malt from the kiln.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The herein described process for drying and curing malt by first drying separate
or successive portions of a steep in thin layers and then gathering or spreading the
dried portions together in a thick layer and curing the same.
