An Improved Method of Purifying Water.
THOMAS ROYLE Dalton House, 329 Upton Lane London, E. Analytical
Consulting Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to the purification of water for the purposes of drinking
and technical uses for the clarification and purification of effluent waters of towns
and factories.
In order to carry out this invention the water is treated firstly with the alkaline
manganates, or the alkaline permanganates in solution and the resulting mixture is
then treated with manganous chloride or other manganous salt in solution.
In cases where it is desired to soften the water, the necessary quantity of lime
may be added during or at the end of the process.
Dated this 25th day of April 1895.

THOMAS ROYLE, Dalton House 329, Upton Lane, London, E., Analytical
Consulting 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 :-
This invention relates to the purification of water for the purposes of drinking
and technical uses, for the supply of pure water to towns, ships, camps, forts &c.
for the clarification and purification of effluent waters of towns and factories.
In order to carry out this invention the water is treated, firstly, with the alkaline
manganates, or the alkaline permanganates, or mixtures thereof, in solution, and
the resulting mixture is then treated with manganous chloride, or other manganous
salt, in solution.
As an example of the method of working this invention.-To ten thousand parts
of the water, three parts of a five per-cent. solution of permanganate of potassium
are added and when this mixture is completed, three parts of a ten per cent. solution
of manganous chloride are added. When thoroughly and sufficiently mixed, the
whole is filtered, or the mixture may be allowed to rest some time that molecular
aggregation may take place whereby the filtration is rendered more expeditious.
When treating waters of rivers, springs &c. or effluents of towns or factories, it is
sufficient if the firet solution is added so as to produce a crimson coloured mixture,
and then to add a like quantity of the ten per-cent, solution of manganous
chloride.
In cases where it is desired to soften the water, the necessary quantity of lime
may be added during, or at the end of the process. I have found that two parts of
lime to ten thousand parts of the water subject to treatment are usually sufficient ;
the addition of lime may also be advisable when dealing with water derived from
forest, or peat districts."

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
The herein described process of treating water and effluents of towns and
factories.

A Process for the Production of Blood and Slag Manure.
I WILLIAM BARCLAY of 24 Dean Street Newcastle on Tyne, Merchant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I use either ordinary or hematite, disintegrated granular slag, or Normanby
patent slag and mix it with fresh or with coagulated blood in any proportion and
the effect is to partially disinfect and prevent any offensive smell from the blood,
and to produce nitrification of the nitrogen, which shows in crystals. The disin-
tegrated granular form of the slag keeps the substance from getting clagged or
lumpy, and after a few days, according to the proportion of blood used, it is dried
up and is in a fit condition for using as a manure. The blood and lag may either
be left to dry naturally or can be dried at a heat of about 14° C. (57 F.) to
37° C. (99 F.). This process being simple and cheap its application can be carried
out wherever blood is produced or can be procured.

dried blood, or dissolved dried blood, in the proportion of half blood and half slag,
but it may be mixed in any proportion according to the amount of nitrogen in the kind
of blood used and the amount of nitrogen it is desired to have in the blood and slag
manure, and the effect is to partially disinfect and prevent any offensive smell from
the blood and to produce nitrification of the nitrogenous matter, which shows in
crystals and ammonia salts. The disintegrated granular form of the slag keeps the
substance from getting clagged or lumpy, and after a few days, according to the
proportion of blood used, it is dried up, and in a fit condition for using as a manure,
the blood and slag may either he left to dry naturally or can be dried at a heat of
about 14° C. (57° F.) to 37° C. (99° F.).

Improvements in Gas or Oil Stoves.
I THOMAS AIREY LANGHORNE of 62 Kirkgate Silsden near Keighley in the
County of York Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
It relates to stoves in which gas or oil is used, for heating purposes and consists
of forming said stoves in such a manner that they consume any smell or smoke that
may be generated.
To accomplish this I make use of an ordinary stove to which I affix a stand and
upon this stand 1 mount a suitable cylinder, said cylinder being open at the bottom
and arranged at the top with a cap having a small hole in its centre part. Towards
the top of the cylinder and at opposite sides thereof, I arrange two tubes which
project from the sides of said cylinder. The holes in the tubes are small at their
outer extremity and become larger towards the cylinder. Upon the top of the
cylinder I arrange a suitably shaped and ornamented cover. When the gas or oil
is ignited it heats the air in the cylinder which is caused to rise and passes out of
the tubes affixed to the cylinder, the cylinder at the same time being heated.
The cold air passes into the cylinder at the bottom.
By these means any smoke or smell that may be generated is consumed before
passing out of the tubes affixed to cylinder.

Improvements in Velocipede Driving Chain Casings.
I, CARL AUGUST LEHMANN of Kleine Plauenschestr., Dresden, A., 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 :-
This invention relates to a velocipede driving chain casing provided with
removable sliding shutters or chain guards which will allow of access to, for
cleaning and other purposes, and observation of the chain, whilst the casing
remains attached to the velocipede, a bicycle for instance.
In the accompanying drawing which illustrates the invention
Fig. 1 is an elevation of the chain casing.
Figs. 2 and 3 are separate detail views respectively of the one and the other
sliding shutter.
The casing comprises three main parts o, m, u, which permit of the casing being
eadily passed over the chain wheels and attached to a corresponding part i of the
velocipede frame. All three main parts are provided with longitudinal grooves or
recesses a which serve for the reception of the sliding shutters when slid into the
same from the handle b.
In order to prevent the sliding shutters from becoming displaced whilst the
velocipede is being ridden the casing is constructed with projecting ribs r against
the inner side of which the outer spring ends of the shutters bear and over which
they are sprung to open them.
The sliding shutters may be made of sheet metal or any other suitable material.
For the purpose of allowing the chain to be observed without withdrawal of the
shutters it is desirable to construct these of a transparent material, celluloid for
example, in which case they may be furnished at their outer ends with sheet metal
handles or thumb pieces b for opening or closing them.
The sliding shutters of may also be so formed and fitted that upon their
withdrawal, one or the other of the chain wheels is laid open to view, or is visible
through the same.
The application of the removable sliding shutters is not restricted to driving
chain casings of the particular construction shewn in the drawing but these shutters
may be applied to such casings generally.
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 velocipedes, a driving chain casing provided with opening and closing shutters
for the purpose specified, substantially as described and shewn.

described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to make gas regulators of the description of
Patent 3974 A.D. 1889 more reliable in action.
I will describe my invention by referring to the accompanying drawings, in
which the same letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the
figures.
I fit a hollow guiding pin or tube E, through the valve F, which is used for
regulating the pressure of the gas. The reason for the use of a hollow guiding
pin E is to allow a passage G to the base of the valve, down which regulated gas is
passed for equalization of gas pressure in the regulator, the said hollow pin E fits
nicely in hole A in centre of disc D which is fitted in the body of cylinder B and
is used for guiding purpose, about half way between the centre & outer edge of
disc D four holes H are pierced in it to allow the governed gas to pass away to the
outlet, to be consumed, thus, the guiding pin E working in hole A in the centre of
disc D obtains an additional guide and so prevents the valve rocking from side to
side in the cylinder when in action thereby insuring a steadier flame and more
accurate regulation of the various pressures of gas.
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 gas regulators of the type herein before mentioned, the use of a hollow
spindle, pin, or tube fitted right through the valve portion for the purpose of au

An Improvement in the Driving Wheels and Axles of Power-driven
Common Road Vehicles.
We, ERNEST JOHN CLUBBE and ALFRED WILLIAM SOUTHEY, both of
16, Elm Street, Grays Inn Road, in the County of Middlesex, Electrical
Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved construction of the wheel hubs and axle
boxes and to the means of connecting the same to the driving axle of a power-
driven vehicle for common roads.
The invention relates to wheels of the ordinary construction with wooden hub
and spokes and it has for its object to provide such a means of connection as to
enable the driving power to be transmitted from the driving axle to the wheels
without unduly straining the hub and spokes. For this purpose the hub is
connected to the axle through the medium of a sort of clutch consisting of bracket
arms which engage between the spokes of the wheel either directly around the hub
or at a distance therefrom, these bracket arms being carried by a disc fixed on a
squared part of the axle. This disc may be in one with the axle box of the hub
in which the squared part of the axle is fitted, so that the disc, arins, axle box and
axle turn together as one.
Or if desired, in order to relieve the spokes of sudden strain, springs may be
interposed between the bracket arms and the spokes in which case the axle box
would be of the ordinary kind and fit on a round part of the axle to admit of the
motion necessary for the play of the springs, the disc carrying the bracket arms
being fitted on a squared part of the axle, as before.

Improvements in Appliances for Correcting Nasal Deformity.
I, LEES RAY, of Wavertree, near Liverpool, 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 :-
This invention relates to appliances for correcting nasal deformity, which
appliances consist of two plates suitably shaped or moulded and adapted to be
placed on each side of the nose, so as to compress the organ between them. The
desired compression may be obtained in two different manners, namely by cramping
screws or by a spring. In the former method the pressure is directly applied by
the screws, and in the latter method by the spring, in which latter case a screw is
employed to regulate the pressure applied.
In the drawing hereto annexed
Figures 1 and 2 illustrate my appliance arranged to be tightened by cramping
screws.
Figures 3 and 4 shew the appliance fitted with a spring.
A. A. are two plates of metal or other suitable material, preferably lined with
chamois leather. The plates A. A. are placed one upon each side of the nose, and
are tightened thereon by the screws B. B. The plates are cut away at a in order
that the nostrils may not be compressed, and are formed with projections at 6 and c
which abut against the cheek and eyebrow respectively. The screws B are tapped
into one plate A only and pass loosely through the other plate, so as to draw the
plates together.
In Figures 3 and 4 the plates A are provided with a spring C which tends to
press the plates together, such pressure being regulated, and the plates opened, by
the set screw B.
The appliance is held upon the nose by tapes or elastic cords passing round the
head of the wearer.
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 :-
1. An appliance for correcting nasal deformity, consisting of two plates moulded
to fit the nose and provided with spaces a and projections b and c for the purposes
described, arranged to be tightened on the nose by cramping screws, substantially
as described.
2. An appliance for correcting nasal deformity, consisting of two plates moulded
to fit the nose and provided with spaces a and projections b and c for the purposes
described, arranged to be tightened on the nose by a spring C adjusted by a set
screw B, substantially as described.

page_text: II. According to another method the electrolysis is effected without a
diaphragm, by introducing continuously a slow stream of sulphurous acid into the
water which is subjected to electrolysis, under cooling. The concentration is
advanced in proportion to the addition of sulphurous acid and the separation of an
equivalent quantity of sulphur. For separating the sulphur from the sulphuric
acid produced, the mass is heated to above the melting point of the sulphur, and
after cooling, the clear acid is siphoned off from the melted sulphur.
sulphur can, after washing and drying, be again introduced into the process in the
form of sulphurous acid.
This
III. According to another modification, chlorinated water for example, or
dilute hydrochloric acid or a solution of common salt is electrolised, and
sulphurous acid is introduced under cooling so that the chlorine evolved is always
in excess.
By this means the separation of sulphur is prevented.
If however the sulphurous acid is in excess, there will be separation of sulphur.
The sulphuric acid in this case contains chlorine or hydrochloric acid, and there
is obtained sodium bisulphate as by-product.
The chlorine or the hydrochloric acid can be separated by heating the acid and
forcing a dry current of air through.
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 :-
1. Process for the production of concentrated sulphuric acid, consisting in
introducing sulphurous acid, with or without an oxygen carrier, continuously into
water or dilute sulphurous acid which is at the same time subject to electrolytic
action, substantially as described.
2. In the process referred to in the first claim, the method of regaining the
sulphur produced, by heating the concentrated acid to above the melting point of
the sulphur, substantially as described.
