An Improvement in Range Boilers.
I, THOMAS POTTERTON of Norman Hurst No. 122 Cavendish Road, Balham in
the County of Surrey, Builder, 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 :—
Usually the flue applied for heating a range boiler is exposed at the bottom,
back and the sides or part thereof to the metal or brick structure by which much
of the heat is conducted away and wasted. My invention relates to a construction
of range boiler by which I avoid this waste of heat, as I shall describe referring to
the accompanying drawings.
Fig. I is a vertical section and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of a range with a boiler
according to my invention.
I make the boiler in two parts, a front part A and a back part Beach with
pockets a and b projecting between each other so that the products of combustion
from the fire have to take a zig zag course between the two parts A and B as
indicated by the arrows. The front boiler has manholes a¹ a and the back part
has manholes & giving access for clearing. A damper C may be more or less
closed when it is desired that the hot products of combustion should circulate around
the ovens DE which are set in flues in the usual way. Flow pipes F F' from the
two parts of the boiler and retorn pipes R R' provide for the water circulation.
These pipes may be connected or not so that the two boilers may have the same or
independent circulation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
-
A range boiler made in two parts having pockets projecting between each other
so as to form a zig zag flue between the two boiler parts, substantially as and for
the purpose set forth.

Improvements in Envelopes, Paper and other Bags, and the like.
I, OWEN COOPER, of 8 Herne Hill Road, Camberwell, in the County of Surrey,
Butcher, 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 envelopes, paper and other bags and the like, and has for
its object to facilitate the opening of such articles.
The chief feature of my invention consists in the provision of one or more lines
of weakness formed by perforations in the paper or fabric preferably in the flap
thereof and near the fold or bend, in combination with a strip of cloth or other
suitable material or a string or strings suitably secured to the paper or fabric
adjoining said perforations and presenting an extended end or ends which can be
seized and pulled, whereupon the envelope, bag or the like is torn open along the
said line or lines of weakness.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown my invention applied to an ordinary
letter envelope.
Figure 1 is a rear view with the flap closed of an envelope provided with an
opening device in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a rear view showing the flap open.
Figures 3 and 4 are similar views showing a slightly modified form of my
invention.
Referring first to Figures 1 and 2 the flap A of the envelope is shown provided
with two parallel lines of perforations B, B formed near the fold or bend of the
flap. C is a strip of thin fabric or other suitable material gummed or otherwise
suitably secured to that portion of the flap between the said two lines of per-
forations. The strip may be secured to either side of the flap but I prefer to
fasten it to the inside thereof. One end of the said strip C projects beyond the
side of the flap and can be seized between the finger and thumb. On pulling said
end in the proper direction the envelope will be torn open along the lines of
the perforations.
In Figures 3 and 4 I have shown an envelope having one line only of perforations
forming a line of weakness which determines where the envelope will be torn open
when the string D, which in this case is used in lieu of the strip C, is pulled. The
string is placed over the line of perforations.
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 :-
:-
An envelope, paper or other bag, or the like having one or more lines of per-
forations formed therein, in combination with a strip of cloth or other material or
string or the like secured to the material of the envelope or bag adjacent to said
perforations and having a projecting end or projecting ends adapted to be seized
between the finger and thumb substantially as, and for the purpose, specified.

Improvements in Barometers.
I, JAMES ROBSON of 3, Devonshire Place, Selly Park, in the County ot
Worcester, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to that class of barometer having a dial with revolving
index, or pointer and the usual registering or recording index, or pointer, which is
revolved on a spindle and set by hand. I add one, or more, registering pointers,
which can be set by hand, to register previous states of the barometer.
The additional registering pointers may have spindles and work through a hole
in the spindle of the usual registering pointer; when such works through the centre
of the glass cover. Or they may be worked by a connection to a handle, at the side
of the dial, as is usual in mercurial wheel barometers.
Or the registering pointers may be formed on rings, turning round the dial by
hand moved pinions, or otherwise.
In another arrangement of my invention I make on the barometer's pointer a
hoop, which moves with this pointer, and I hang a fine short chain, or filament,
from a pillar fixed to the barometer's case. The bottom end of this chain lies on
the moving hoop and by the convolutions of the chain show the previous states of
the barometer.
Each of the registering pointers are preferably marked as 9 a.m. to-day and
9 a.m yesterday.

Improvements in Appliances for Teaching Music.
We, HENRY BOND of 44, Carlyle Road, Cambridge, Vocalist, and HORACE
WAKELING of 56 Carlyle Road, Cambridge, Teacher of Music, 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 improved means for teaching the notes of music to
children in a simple and interesting manner.
According to our invention, we utilize the square blocks commonly used by
children for purposes of recreation, and on one side print, stamp or otherwise form
a letter of the alphabet corresponding to a musical note. On the opposite or
another side of the block is indicated the musical note corresponding to the letter,
in either the treble or bass clef, or we may utilize two sides for this purpose, one
having the note on the bass clef and the other on the treble. A set of blocks is
prepared having the various notes commonly used in elementary music and the
corresponding letters, and also a number with simple words formed from the letters
from A to G and a musical phrase having the notes in the same order.
Children will thus learn while amusing themselves, the notes of music which
correspond to the letters.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figs. 1 to 5 are views illustrating
the arrangement, The blocks according to Figs. 1, 1, 2 and 24 have on one face A
a letter, C and A respectively, and on the other B corresponding notes on the
treble clef, Figs. 3 and 3ª have on the face A' a letter F and on B a note on the
bass clef, and Figs. 4, 4, 5 & 5* have on the faces A² A³ words spelled from
the letters A to G, and on B2 B3 the corresponding notes on the treble and bass
clef respectively. The views show only the notes situated on the clef, but if
desired the blocks may also be furnished with notes above and below.
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.
A means for teaching musical notation consisting of a set of blocks, each having
on one side a letter of the alphabet or a number of letters forming a simple word,
and on another side a note or notes of music corresponding to the said letter or
word, substantially as and for the purposes specified.

A Process for Imparting to Common Furs the Appearance of the
More Costly Furs.
We, MORITZ LEWINSOHN, SIMON LEWINSOHN, and JOSEPH LEWINSOHN,
trading together as E. Lewinsohn, of 75 Kopnickerstrasse, Berlin, in the German
Empire, Fancy Feather Manufacturers, 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 :-
It is a well known branch of manufacture in which the natural skin, covered
with hair, is made to have the appearance of a better class article, by treating the
skins with mordants, coloring matters blended in a suitable manner, acids, bleaching
means, etc. This mode of treating, however, is deficient in so far that the
mordanting, bleaching, and other means, attack the hair and even the skin.
Now our invention has for its object to impart to inferior and common fur, the
appearance of a superior fur, by means of a simple treatment which does not act
injuriously on the hair and skin. For this purpose we treat the hair with lacquer,
preferring amongst the many kinds of lacquer in existence, the celluloid lacquer,
called zapon, which we have found most suitable for the purpose, and the com-
position of which is stated in the Specification of our British Patent No. 159679.
The lacquer is applied to the tips of the hair by dabbing or brushing it over
the same, so that it is chiefly the longer hairs which thus receive a coating, while
the downy or short ones retain their original color and appearance.
By the application of this lacquer, which may be obviously of any suitable
color, the hair and the skin remain uninjured, while the natural downy appearance
of the fur is retained. The long hairs assume a brilliant, light-reflecting appearance,
so that an inferior fur appears like a nobler kind, for instance, like "silver fox."
In fine, cheap furs can be made to imitate the various characteristic appearances of
the more costly furs.
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 :-
The herein described process for imparting to low priced and common furs the
appearance of more costly or nobler furs consisting in treating the hair with a
suitable lacquer, preferably the celluloid lacquer known as zapon.

Improvements in Electric Indicators.
I, BERTHOLD ZEITSCHEL, Factory Manager, of 12 Ritterstrasse, Berlin, in
the Empire of Germany, 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 for improvements in electric indicators has for its object to
provide an indicator suitable for use with household electric bell installations and
the like to indicate from what particular point the bell has been rung or what
particular signal is made, and consists essentially in holding the indicator disc in
its normal position by a solenoid core which is withdrawn to allow the disc to fall
when a current is passed through the solenoid and after falling can readily be put
back by hand to its normal position and be again held by the core.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings
:-
Figure 1 is an elevation of an indicator movement constructed according to this
invention and Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same.
The indicator disc is fixed to the back of the movement box by means of a
metal plate a carrying at its upper end the bush b, on which is firmly driven the
bobbin €₂ formed in the ordinary manner by winding on a wooden reel. In the
lower part of the reel bore is a second bush d. The core e with guide spindle e¹ el
is movable between the bushes and d. Against the lower end e¹ of the core rests
the nosef of a lever og rotatable about the point h. The arm 9 also carries
the indicator disc i which is fastened at ¹. Turned up edges kk' confine the
movement of the angle lever when falling and during replacement.
When at rest the movable core e by its own weight holds the lever and indicator
disc in the position shown by the dotted lines. If an electric current is sent
through the bobbin this is converted into a solenoid the core e is drawn in, that is
upwards, whereupon the nose fis released and the arm and indicator disc fall. The
replacement is effected in the ordinary manner by the replacement rod g¹ whereby
the nose f lifts the core and slides underneath it letting it then fall again so that
when the rod g¹ is released the nose fagain bears on the core.
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 :-
An indicator movement in which the lever arm carrying the indicator disc is
held in the position of rest by a movable core in a solenoid-spool whilst it is left
free when a current passes and raises this core and the indicator disc falls
substantially as described.

Improvements in Tyres for Cycles and other Road Vehicles.
I, WILLIAM ERNST HOFF, of 14 Breite Street Mannheim, 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 an improved construction of tyre for the wheels of cycles
and other road vehicles, and it consists of a pocket of any suitable textile fabric
filled with any suitable light elastic substance, such as cork, and surrounded by
vulcanized india rubber, the object being to obtain a tyre having the necessary
conditions of elasticity, durability, and lightness.
I attain this end in the manner illustrated by the accompanying drawing, in
which :-
Figure 1 is a broken view in longitudinal section of my improved tyre, and
Figure 2 is a view in transverse section thereof.
is
Throughout these views similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
My improved tyre consists of three essential parts, a pocket "a" of canvas or
other textile fabric, a cover "6" of vulcanized india rubber, and a stuffing or
filling "c" of granulated cork or other light material. The tube or pocket "a"
either plaited, spun or woven and may be made of hemp, cotton, wool, or other
suitable material. The cover "" is made of vulcanized india rubber, which may
if desired be strengthened by an insertion or backing of canvas or other suitable
textile material, the said cover can either be vulcanized after it is placed over
the tube or pocket, or it may be vulcanized first and the tube or pocket and its
filling inserted into it afterwards. The stuffing or filling "c" preferably consists
of granulated cork, but it may also consist of sea-weed, hair, or any other suitable
substance or material, and it may either be placed within the canvas pocket in a
straight form as shown by the drawing, or it may be placed there in the form of a
spiral or of several fillings one within the other.
By this construction I obtain a tyre which is nearly as light as a pneumatic tyre,
and is moreover extremely elastic and strong, while it has the advantage that is not
liable to become damaged by puncture.
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 tyre for cycles and other road vehicles consisting of a pocket or tube of any
suitable material, of an outer cover of vulcanized india rubber, and of a stuffing or
filling of cork, hair, sea-weed, or any other light material, as set forth.

In carrying my invention into effect, I construct my stove in such a manner, that
the heating-spirals begin from the base of the stove and reach to the cap of
the same, so that the whole surface of the stove is effective for the heating
of the room.
Y is the combustion chamber from which the heating-gases arise, as is shown by
the full arrows in Figs. 1 & 3 of the drawing.
R and S are the outer spirals, wound around the middle tube L serving for the
circulation of the air and provided with an inner spiral I.
While the spiral S receives the gases arising from the fire-room Y, the
spiral R contains the air to be heated by the spiral, S. are openings at the base
of the stove through which the air enters the tube L from below. W at the upper
part of the stove is the outlet for the air heated within the tube L.
The openings k, on the right side of Figs. & 3, serve for the entrance of the
cold air, which leaves the stove by passing through the openings W, opposite to the
openings k, in order to enter the room to be heated.
O is the chimney-funnel for the eduction of the heating-gases which come from
out the heating-spiral S, after having been utilized.
The manner of operation of the described stove is the following:
The heating-gases evolved in the combustion chamber Y enter the spiral S, as
shown by the full arrows in Figs. 1 & 3 of the drawing and heat the air circulating
in the spiral R in a perfectly regular manner as well as the air in the tube L, which
assumes a helicoidal movement by rising in the inner spiral I.
The cold air entering the stove by the openings as indicated by the dotted
arrows, leave the same, when heated, by passing through the openings W on the
opposite side of the stove, as is illustrated by the half dotted arrows in
Figs. 1 & 3.
By the spirals R and S, reaching from the base to the head of the stove, the
whole surface of the latter is utilized for the heating of the room. The cold air
lying generally on the floor of the room is sucked by the tube L through the
openings, whereby a regular and quick heating of the room is effected.
The modification shown in Figs. 3 to 7 is only differed from the stove in Figs. 1
& 2 by the arrangement of the outer-hearth whilst the construction of the
spirals R, S and L is similar to that of the stove in Figs. 1 & 2.

page_text: 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
1. In a stove
the combination, with the combustion chamber Y of the outer
spirals R and S, wound around an inner tube L with a spiral I, substantially and

An Improvement in Tackle for Dry-fly Fishing.
I, CHARLES HENRY COOK Barrister-at-law of Glenlia, South Stoke Oxon 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 this invention the buoyant properties of reindeer hair are utilised in the
manufacture of artificial flies which are intended particularly to be used in the
branch of angling known as "dry-fly fishing." The hair either dyed or in its
natural state is used for the body of the fly being attached to the hook in the same
way as pig's wool, seals fur and other substances are attached by fly-dressers, so
much hair being used as will buoy up the hook and the other component parts of
the fly. Less hair can be used for flies with thin bodies, such flies while not
floating on the surface when saturated with water nevertheless having their
buoyancy increased and can be dried by the angler with greater ease than can be
flies dressed by existing methods. When a perfectly buoyant fly has to be made,
the dresser should test the specific gravity of the hook and the component parts of
the fly by tying increasing quantities of reindeer hair on to the fly until it floats,
that quantity will then be the amount required for all flies on hooks of that size
and dressed to that pattern.
Having now more particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
An improvement in the manufacture of artificial flies for dry-fly fishing by the
menne hereinbefore described.

A New or Improved Pencil Sharpener.
I, PATRICK MARTIN GALLAGHER, of Bridge Street, Donegal, in the County
of Donegal, Ireland, Solicitor, 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 or improved pencil sharpener and has for its
object to provide means whereby the leaden points of pencils will not be broken by
the knife or cutter when the pencil is being sharpened as heretofore and also
whereby tapering points distinct and separate from the tapering on the wood of
such pencils as heretofore may be made to any practicable length and fineness on
the lead itself of the pencil.
Accordingly I provide a small cap having an inner surface similar to that of a
file slotted throughout its length and having a knife or blade on one side of the
slot and I fix this cap at the end of a pencil sharpener the blade of which is to
have such a length that it is intended to cut into only the wooden part of the
pencil while the cap is intended to cut and grind down the lead so as to form
another and separate point on the lead of the pencil.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is the longitudinal section of my improved pencil sharpener and
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
Figures 3 and 4 are cross sections on the lines x. x. and y. y. respectively.
My improved pencil sharpener consists of a cylindrical body or sheath a slotted
longitudinally as clearly shewn in Figure 2 and terminating at one end with a
tapered part a' provided with a knife or cutter Figure 4 of sufficient length to
cut the wood of the pencil. On the end of this tapered part a¹ is soldered shrunk
brazed or in any other way fixed a pointed cap c slotted throughout its length as
shewn in Figure 2 and provided with a knife or cutter d' Figure 3 and with a rib
or shoulder c Figure 2. The inside surface of this cap except the knife cutter
thereof is provided as far as the shoulder cl with serrations like those of a file
Figure 3 d. The pencil being inserted and turned round in the same the blade b
cuts off a given depth of shavings off the wooden part of the pencil and when the
lead protrudes from the end of such pencil it reaches the inside of the cap where it
is cut by the blade d' Figure 3 and ground by the file d Figure 3 to form a point.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inveu-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. In pencil sharpeners having a cutting blade the application to the ends of such
devices of a tapering cap slotted longitudinally one side of such longitudinal slot
forming a knife and the inner surface of such cap except the knife being furnished
with serrations resembling those of a file substantially as herein described and
shewn and for the purpose set forth.
2. The improved pencil sharpener arranged and constructed substantially as
herein described and shewn.

I HENRY MARTIN MAYHEW, Weybridge Common, Surrey, Assistant Librarian
in the British Museum, 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 construct presses of known forms which may be
used for general purposes but which are primarily intended for the storage of books
in libraries where additional shelf room is required without extension of building;
the presses to be erected in front of existing book shelves, to be easily movable
when filled with books and at the same time to allow the books already placed in
the original wall presses to be easily accessible. This object has been attained by
making the presses to turn on a central anti-friction ring-or on a pivot-at the
bottom & with a steadying pivot at the top.
In the accompanying drawings in Sheet 1 A shows a press fitted with an anti-
friction ring & B & C one fitted with a pivot. Sheet 2 shows a plau view-in it
A.B. are wall presses filled with books and C D E F the movable presses erected in
front of them. The dotted lines show these presses moved so that the books in the
wall presses A. B are easily accessible.
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
Improvement in or connected with the storage of books or the like by fitting
presses with a central anti-friction ring or a pivot-on which they turn and which
allow the books already placed in the original wall presses to be easily accessible.
