Improvements in or relating to Electric Batteries.
A communication from abroad by MYRON W. PARRISH, of Detroit, Michigan, United
States of America.
I, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON F.C.S. M.I.M.E. of the Agency for Foreign Patent
Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street, Manchester, both in the
County of Lancaster & 323 High Holborn in the County of Middlesex, Civil 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 invention has for its object the production of a primary battery in which
graphite in its natural or crude state is used as one of the polar elements of the
battery, and in which zinc is preferably used as the other polar element, and salt and
water is preferably used as the solution.
In the drawings
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the battery jar, including a diagrammatic view of
the circuit.
In carrying out the invention, A represents the jar; B the zinc element; the
solution, preferably salt and water; D the wires constituting the circuit; and E an
electric bell in said circuit; F is the other polar element, and is in the form of a
lump of crude or natural graphite. The graphite thus takes the place of the carbon
element, as ordinarily used in primary batteries. By thus constructing a battery
with graphite as one of the polar elements, and common salt and water for the
solution, a much more powerful current of electricity is generated than has heretofore
been accomplished with primary batteries, and a current which is nearly if not quite
equal to that of the secondary battery of the same size is obtained. Another advan-
tage is that the battery is much longer lived than the primary batteries heretofore
used.
My correspondent has also found in the use of this battery that the zinc element
can not become depolarized even if it comes into direct contact with the graphite,
which is another decided advantage:
The invention is not, of course, limited to the use of the graphite in the lump form
shown in the drawings, since the crude or natural graphite might be crushed or
pulverized, and by enclosing it in a suitable holder, be used in this shape as an
element.
Neither is it limited to the mode of attaching the connecting wire to the lump of
graphite, since it might be attached in any suitable manner without departing from
the spirit of the invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :--
1. An electric battery having for one of its elements, graphite in its natural
state, substantially as herein described.
2. An electric battery having for its solution, salt and water, and for its polar
elements, zinc and graphite, substantially as described.

My new and improved order and measuring book consists of a number of paper
printed forms containing lines for names and addresses of customers with ruled
spaces for entering down measurements for the various garments required and
instructions.
Between each of the aforesaid leaves are similar counterfoils, so that the traveller
on taking orders, when writing upon the paper forms such order is reproduced by
placing sheets of transfer or blacklead paper between the sheets in the ordinary way
at the same time upon the counterfoils, which are perforated so that they can be
readily torn out of the book and posted to the firm represented.
The aforesaid leaves and counterfoils being numbered to correspond, are bound up
in book form of suitable dimensions.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I

Ships and other Vessels.
I, ROBERT SEABROOK, of Grimsby in the County of Lincolnshire, Sail 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:
My Invention relates to an improved anti-fouling compound for coating the
bottoms of ships and other vossels and has for its object to provide a substance that
will adhere to the vessel for a longer period than those heretofore manufactured.
According to my Invention, I immerse about 5 lbs. of flour of sulphur in 10 gallons
of liquid coal tar placed in a vessel or tank provided with a tap arranged at a distance
of about a foot above the bottom thereof. I then add one gallon of turpentine to
the mass and allow while stirring occasionally the whole to rest for a period of
about one month, after which the supernatent liquid is withdrawn through the tap
above mentioned.
When the compound is required for use I pour about one gallon of the last named
liquid into a pot or other suitable vessel and add 3 ozs. of blacklead thereto while
stirring diligently. The object of the black lead is to render the tar smooth and
prevent it from sticking. The paint is now ready to be applied in the ordinary
manner by means of brushes or other contrivances.
Having thus 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 improved anti-fouling compound for coating the bottoms of ships and other
vessels, composed of sulphur, coal tar, turpentine and blacklead mixed in the proportions
given and treated substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

Improvements in and relating to Horse Shoes.
I, OSCAR FRIEDRICH WILHELM STARITZ of Chemnitz in the kingdom of Saxony
and German Empire, 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 :-
This invention relates to horse shoes and it has for its object to enable frost cogs
and calks to be added to and removed from the shoe at will without removing the shoes
from the hoofs of the animal.
I will describe my Invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in
which Fig. 1 is a plan of the underside of a horse shoe constructed according to these
Improvements and Fig. 2 is an end view of the same view.
Upon the underside of the shoe there are formed projections at the too and at the
heel respectively. In each of these projections there is formed a recess open at each
end and having a dovetailed or similar cross section. The frost cogs or calks a a¹
have a prismatic cross section and are formed of hardened steel; they are most
conveniently formed by cross cutting from triangular bars of rolled steel, pieces of the
desired length which are thereafter hardened in the usual manner. The cross section
of the steel bar must have such dimensions that the calks and frost cogs cut therefrom
will accurately fit in the dovetailed recesses in the toe and heel of the shoe.
It is preferred that the recess at the toe should be of greater length than that of the
recesses at the heel of the shoe as represented in the drawings. The recess a at the
toe must be transverse as shown; the recesses at the heel may either bo transverse as
represented at a¹ to the right, or longitudinal as shewn at a¹ to the left of Fig. 1.
When one angle of the prism has become worn, the prism may be knocked out and
a fresh angle be brought into use by re-inserting the next face into the recess; thus
each prism may be used three times and the cost be correspondingly reduced. Simi-
larly, when the prism is worn out or requires to be renewed it may be knocked out
and a new one be driven in in a few seconds, and the necessity for removing and
replacing the shoe is obviated.
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 a horse shoe; the combination and arrangement of three dovetailed recesses and
three separate prismatic calks or frost cogs therein, the calks or frost cogs being
capable of being removed and renewed or replaced at will; substantially as herein before
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

An Improved Process of Producing Ammonium-nitrate.
We, ADOLF WILHELM WAHLENBERG, and JOHN ALEXANDER WAHLENBERG, both of
Nortullsgatan 21B, Stockholm, in the Kingdom of Sweden, 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 process of producing ammonium-nitrate.
Ammonium-nitrate, which at the present time plays an important part in the
composition of modern explosives, is usually manufactured in the following manner,
videlicet, Nitric-acid and ammonia are separated from their respective crude materials,
that is to say, nitric-acid is extracted from nitrate of sodium and ammonia from any of
the common salts of ammonia, and the two substances are mixed together to form the
ammonium-nitrate. Or the said substances are obtained by a double decomposition in
water and separating the bye-products (sulphate or carbonate) by crystallization.
But, as some portion of the said bye-products remains in solution, the salt of ammonia
cannot he pure. The first of these processes is very costly and the second is
incomplete and therefore unsatisfactory, and the object of our invention is to obviate
these objections.
According to our invention we proceed in the following manner, videlicet:-
We first form ammonium-nitrate and sulphate, chloride or carbonate of soda or
potash, as bye-products, from a nitrate of potash, soda, etc., and a salt of ammonia,
such for example as ammonium-sulphate, ammonium-carbonate or ammonium-chloride,
etc., by means of a double decomposition. The ammonium-nitrate is then separated
through the medium of alcohol, either by crystallizing the bye-products as before
mentioned, evaporating the mother water and treating the dry remainder with alcohol,
or by direct evaporation of the salt solution and treatment with alcohol to separate the
nitrate, or by the addition of alcohol to the common solution.
Or we separate the nitrate from the commercial or impure ammonium-nitrate by
treating the same with alcohol.
Or we mix the above named salts in a dry state and subsequently treat them with
alcohol.
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
we claim is :
Separating ammonium-nitrate from other salts and impurities by means of alcohol,
substantially in the manner herein before described.

Improvements relating to the Preservation of Shell-fish.

Improvements relating to the Preservation of Shell-fish.
I, ALBERT ALEXR. FREEMAN, of 3321 N Broad Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
United States of America Inventor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be perforined, to he particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
It is well known that under ordinary conditions oysters and other shell-fish, after
being kept some tinie, open their shells and the juices escape, the fish thereby loses
its flavor and dies, and in a short time becomes unfit for use. If taken from the shell
when fresh or packed for transport in ice, a certain flavor is lost.
The object of my invention is to prepare shell-fish in such a manner, that they will
retain the liquors and juices in their shells, be preserved alive for a considerable time,
and be readily transported in such natural and fresh condition. I attain this object
by binding the shells firmly together while the oyster or other mollusk is fresh or
alive by means of a wire or wires made to embrace the shells between which the
fish is contained, the ends of the wire being secured by being twisted or otherwise;
or any other suitable clamping device which will accomplish the end in view may be
used.
It is obvious that treated in this manner, the fish cannot open its shell, nor can it
be opened accidentally in the process of handling or transportation, for even though
its bill be broken, the oyster itself, when its shells are kept together, uses suction
power to retain and prevent the escape of its juices. Consequently the oyster or
other shell-fish, with the surrounding juices, is kept practically tight, and they cannot
escape until the clamp is removed.
I am aware that attempts have been made to accomplish the same object by dipping
the sholls in paraffine wax or the like but this has failed owing to the fact that it
makes them air-tight, the fact being overlooked that the fish must have air to be kept
alive; I am also aware of a method of packing the fish in barrels with concave shells
underneath: but in this case a turning of the barrel or package permits the liquor or
juice to escape, and the said fish soon die.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invon-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The method of preparing oysters and other shell-fish for preservation and shipment,
which consists in holding the shells thereof firmly clamped together while the
animals are in natural condition by means of a binding-wire secured around the same
or equivalent clamping device, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

An Adjustable Candle Holder.
I RICHARD GERLACH of Nürnberg, Bavaria in the Empire of Germany Hardware
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 present candleholder admits the use of candles of varying thickness which are
clamped to it by a special device.
Figure 1 shews the entire candle-holder in elevation.
Figure 2 a section of the upper part of the candle-stick with the candle plate
raised.
Figure 3 shews the underside of the candle plate lifted off the candle stick.
Figure 4 shows a plan of the top of the candle stick after removal of the candle
plate.
The candle holder consists of the lower part A of the candle stick and the upper
part B thereof. The upper part B consists of the candle plate 6 with an excentric
ring c firmly fixed thereto, and the candle holder properly so called 6¹. The candle
plate 6 has a raised rim and embraces the candle holder in such a manner as to be
free to turn. At its inner side a ring c is excentrically placed and firmly connected
with it. The candle-holder 6' widens at its upper part and forms a flat surface with a
raised rim and on the flat surface has a ☐ shaped groove d open at the top serving
as a guide for the clamping device the disc c¹ with raised rim.
The clamping disc c¹has an excentric perforation and this perforation has a rim of
the same height as that of the disc.
In the latter there is a
shaped slot d¹ fitting easily over the grooved so that the
clamping disc c¹ can readily slide to and fro on the groove d having at the same time
a lateral motion.
The clamping plate c¹ is inverted over the groove d in the candle holder 6' so that
the slot d' engages with it, the candle plate 6 is then placed over it, so that the
clamping disc c is in the excentric ring c of the candle plate 6 attaching the latter to
the candle stick. If the candle plate 6 is now turned the excentric ring c turns with
it and with this the clamping disc c¹ moves also and is pressed against the candle in
accordance with the angle of rotation.
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
I. In a candle-holder the sliding clamping disc c¹ having an excentric perforation
for the purpose specified.
II. In a candle-holder the combination of an excentric ring with a sliding clamping
disc having an excentric perforation substantially as described.
III. The improved candle holder substantially as described and shewn and
operating in the manner specified.

1 FRANCISQUE VOLAND, Dresser, of the city of Lyon, in the Republic of France.
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF ENGLISH CRAPE RIBBON" and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described, and ascertained, in, and by, the following
statement:
Up to the present date, English Crape is only made in more or less wide widths,
and never in the form of ribbon, which it is the object of this invention to manufacture,
and which may be effected in two ways.
1st. By taking the Crape in the piece, and cutting from it, lengths of varying
widths, to form the ribbon, and then passing the strips thus cut, between two rollers,
internally heated, by any suitable method.
These rollers do not touch in the centre, but only meet at the ends, where they
exercise pressure at the edges of the Crape, the fabric being folded down (or not)
where the hem would be, if sewn by hand, or machine. The space between the two
rollers, allows the fabric to pass between them in the centre, without touching it, and
so prevents injury to the crinkled surface at this part.
By merely damping or gumming the edges to be folded down, and pressed, by the
rollers the borders or edges are securely held.
2nd. In taking uncrinkled or plain surfaced material of any width, and passing it
between heated rollers, on the surfaces of which the crinkling, and borders or edges,
are engraved so that a single piece of the fabric may be impressed with the crinkled
surface, in one, or different widths, the rollers being engraved for this purpose.
Thus the fabric will be impressed, or marked out, in ribbons of the same, or
different widths; after which the strips are cut, to form the ribbons, either by hand,
or mechanically.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. The method of manufacturing English Crapo Ribbon by cutting from Crape
tible widthe passing them between heated rollers which meet

page_text: only at the ends, for pressing the borders, or edges, as and for the purposes herein
specified.
2nd. The method of manufacturing English Crape Ribbon, by taking a piece of
uncrinkled material, passing it between rollers heated internally, and engraved with
the crinkled surface, and borders, or edges, of a single, or different widths, as desired 5
and afterwards cutting the strips into ribbons, as marked out by the rollers, in the
manner, by the means, and for the purposes substantially as herein setforth.

An Improved Galvanic Ear Appliance.
1, ALEXANDER DARLING MUNRO, of No. 8 Avoca Street, South Yarra, in the
Colony of Victoria, Aural Specialist, 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 :-
It is is well known that electricity is frequently applied to the ear for surgical
purposes and that galvanic batteries of various construction are commonly used
therefor. Now my invention has been devised for the purpose of providing a
galvanic apparatus which is more convenient for this purpose than any other. It
consists of two small cells made up in the form of ear pads, which are connected
together by an adjustable and flexible electrical connection, so as to enable them to
be fitted to any sized head. Each of these cells consists of a plate of copper and a
plate of zinc with a layer of flannel between. On the face of the inner plate
is a pad of sponge, the whole being sewn together, so that when required to be used
it is only necessary to saturate the sponge and flannel with the ordinary weak acid
solution in order to excite the battery to action. In order, however, that invention
may be distinctly understood, I will refer to the drawings hereto attached, by which
it is clearly illustrated. Figure 1 represents my apparatus full size-while Figure 2
shows it (on a smaller scale-in actual use. Each galvanic cell consists of a copper
plate A, flannel B, zinc plate C, and sponge D; the whole being sewn together in
any convenient way. Each cell has a metal plate E at its back, on which is a bent
projecting pin E, to which is hinged one end of an adjustable flexible electrical
connection F, consisting by preference of a steel band or ribbon terminating in a flat
loop F1, through which the connection from the other cell passes so as to admit of the
extension or contraction of the space encircled by it, in order to enable it to be fitted
to any sized head

ulting from the previous step, shaking it with carbon bisulphide and using the
ulting solution of iodine in carbon bisulphide for the first step in the process.
2. The following parts of said process each taken separately and for the purposes
cribed :-
(a) Drying the chlorine previous to passing it into the carbon bisulphide and
iodine.
(b) Passing the chlorine gas into the mixture of carbon bisulphide and iodine in
fine streams, whereby the chlorine is broken up into minute particles and is
enabled to combine with the liquid before it can escape therefrom.
(c) Passing the chlorine gas into the carbon bisulphide and iodine and then
fractionally distilling the resultant liquid, whereby the tetrachloride is separated
from the chloride of sulphur without decomposing the latter, and thus the
latter is obtained as a valuable hye-product.
(d) Separating the iodine from crude tetrachloride of carbon such as obtained
under head (c) by means of caustic alkali and treating the solution of iodine in
caustic alkali with a strong mineral acid and chlorine (whereby the iodine is
set free) extracting the resulting free iodine by shaking up bisulphide of
carbon with it thus re-forming a compound or mixture of iodine and bisulphide
of carbon applicable for use in the step set forth under head (a).
