Improvements in Apparatus for Beating out Scythes.
I, WALLACE FAIRWEATHER C.E. of 62 Saint Vincent Street, in the City of
Glasgow, Fellow of the Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated
to me to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
In machines for beating out scythes as commonly constructed the means provided
for guiding the beating out hammer in its ascent and descent have been insufficient
and in consequence the hammer when raised by the usual wyper or tripper has been
liable to be pressed aside out of its proper path of movement whereby an unfair
blow is dealt, undue wear and tear of the material and frequent breaking of the guides
resulting.
In the improved apparatus which is represented in perspective at figure 1 in side
elevation at figure 2 and in detail at figures 3 and 4 of the accompanying drawings
the defect referred to is overcome by adapting to the machine frainc a three sided
guide case or cap M which embraces the hammer so that the latter which bears at its
inner side against the face of the standard I is enclosed on all its sides. In this way
the hammer is provided with an absolutely true vertical guide, and the guide case M
being removable it permits of the speedy and convenient withdrawal and renewal of
the hammer which would otherwise have been interfered with by the spring ƒ and
regulating screw h. A sliding block H' at the rear of the hammer H passes through
a slot in the standard I and is acted on by the wyper or tripper D in the usual
way.
The inner guiding face of the cap M is provided with recesses which are filled with
a suitable lubricant to lessen friction whilst at the same time preventing false blows
of the hammer such as are occasioned by the dropping of oil on the hammer head
which is apt to occur in the usual mode of oiling.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manuer the same is to be performed as communicate'l to me
I declare that what I claim is :-
In apparatus for beating out scythes the combination with the standard I and
hammer H of the guide case or cap M substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
An Improved Puzzle or Game.

An Improved Puzzle or Game.
1, NORMAN MELLAND, of Victoria Park, Manchester in the County of Lancaster,
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 anu
by the following statement :-
This invention relates to that class of game or puzzle in which a regular figure
is divided into a number of parts which when assembled together in proper juxta-
position construct the figure.
The object of my invention is to subdivide the figure of a star into a number
of parts or sections (all preferably triangular) in such a way and of such size that
the relative positions of the parts will not be readily apparent and that the assembling
of them together after being shuffled or mixed indiscriminately will constitute a
puzzle.
Referring to the drawings annexed.
Fig. 1, shows a six pointed star.
Fig. 2, ditto with the lines of subdivision dotted representing the star composed
of a number of triangular pieces.
Fig. 3. shows the several parts separately which comprise the star.
In the carrying out of the invention any suitable material such as card board,
paper, wood, sheet metal or the like may be employed though at present I prefer
card board. This can be cut out with a double punch one part working inside
the other whereby the outer shape of the star will be first cut and that subsequently
sub-divided as shown. Or the several parts shown in Fig. 3 may be cut out separately
from the material.
It is obvious that the number of parts may be increased and their shape slightly
varied but I prefer the subdivisions made and the pieces cut exactly as shown as
I consider the fewer the number of pieces into which the figure can be divided
without lessening the element of puzzle the better.
When in use or being played the several parts forming the star shown in Fig. 3
are shuffled or mixed indiscriminately and the game consists in assembling them
together in proper juxtaposition to form the star as shown in Fig. 2.
The puzzle may be used solely as a game or may also be used for advertising
purposes by printing advertisements on all or any of the component parts of the
star shown in Fig. 3. An advertisement may be printed in such a way as to form
a clue to the assembling of the parts by only being complete when the star is
intact or on the contrary the printing may be so placed as only to read correctly
when the parts are wrongly assembled and thus add to the difficulty of the puzzle.
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 [
claim is :-
A puzzle or game consisting of a star figure made of any suitable material sub-
divided into a number of parts preferably triangular to be reassembled into the
complete figure substantially as described.

1, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
M.I.M.E., 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 the invention is to arrange a simple device which will prevent the
unpleasant drawing feeling caused to a person wearing rubber shoes or goloshes; and
it consists, essentially in placing at any convenient point in the heel or solo of the
rubber shoe or golosh, a copper rivet, or other good electrical conductor, so as to bring
the body of the wearer into electrical contact with the earth, substantially as and for
the purpose hereinafter more particularly explained.
Figure 1, is a view of a rubber shoe or golosh, partially broken away, to show the
copper rivet, or other electrical conductor, placed in position.
In the drawing, A, represents a copper rivet, which is shown placed in the heel of
the rubber shoe, B, but it will of course be understood that the said copper rivet or
other good electrical conductor, may be placed at any point in the heel or sole of the
rubber shoe or golosh.
Everyone is aware that wearing rubber shoes or goloshes causes a very disagreeable
feeling in the feet, which often extends some way up the legs, and the feet become
soft and extremely tender.
After considerable study my correspondents have proved to their own satisfaction
that the disagreeable effect referred to arises from the fact that the rubber shoe or
golosh insulates the body from the ground, and that consequently the electrical current
which the body gathers from the atmosphere is cut off from the electrical fluid in the

page_text: By placing a copper rivet, A, or other good electrical conductor, in the heel or sole
of the rubber shoe or golosh an electrical connection is formed between the, body and
the earth, and thereby secures the desired effect.
Rubber shoes or goloshes provided with this electrical conductor, as described;
may be continuously worn without creating any disagreeable feeling. I am therefore
satisfied that its introduction will be appreciated by the public.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by my
foreign correspondents, I declare that what I clain is :-
1. A rubber shoe or golosh having a copper rivet, A, or other good electrical con-
ductor inserted in its heel or sole, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Water-gas Generators.
I, SAMSON Fox, of the Leeds Forge, New Wortley, Leeds, in the County of York,
Engineer and Ironmaster, 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 reference to improvements in water-gas generators, and consists
firstly-In blowing into a cupola charged with fuel, hot air at a certain level, and in
taking out the slag formed during the consumption of the fuel and any flux used
therewith, at the bottom of the cupola in a fluid state after the manner of the removal
of such material from a blast furnace.
Secondly-In blowing in steam at the top of the cupola and taking out water gas
thus formed through an outlet which I construct at a higher level than that at which
the air is blown in so that the cooling action of the steam admitted at the top of the
fuel should not reach down to fluid slag at the bottom of the furnace and to the region
where the hot air is blown in.
The annexed drawing is a sectional elevation of a cupola for the production of
water-gas according to this invention.
a, is the hopper through which fuel is introduced. b, b, are hot-air blast pipes, of
which there are a number in proportion to the size of the cupola,c, is the outlet for
that which is known as "producer gas." d, is a pipe through which steam is admitted
upon the fuel when it has been brought to an incandescent state, e, the opening
through which water-gas passes out of the cupola, f, an opening, (of which there may
be a number) through which slag is taken out.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be carried into practical effect as communicated to
me, I declare that what I claim is,
1. In a cupola or water gas generator of the kind hereinabove referred to, having
a hot air blast at a certain level, and blown with steam from the top, The taking
out therefrom of water-gas so produced, at a higher level than where the hot air
is blown in, thereby enabling the slag to be drawn off, in a fluid state substan-
tially as described and illustrated.
2. In a cupola or water-gas generator,
The construction of the outlet for the
water-gas at a higher level than the air blast referred to in claim 1. substantially as
and for the purpose herein set forth.

An Improved Bill File.
I, WALTER TILLEY, 29 Normans Buildings, St. Lukes, London, E.C. Bill 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, reference being also had to the accompanying explanatory
drawing wherein Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved bill file, and Figure 2 a
horizontal section on line A, B Figure 1-
+
The improved file according to my Invention consists of two vertical tubes a, c
carried on a metallic base plate A which is secured to the base board B by screws or
equivalent fastenings; the whole being preferably suspended or carried by the ring d.
Within the vertical tube a is received a wire b curved at its upper end so that its
point when the file is closed-will enter the open end of the tube c on which the
papers are filed.
To allow of the ready filing of papers on the tube c and to permit of the detachment
of same, when required, I provide the base of the vertical tube a with an enlargement a¹
having a vertical slot e cut therein which is continued into a horizontal slot e¹.
The spindle of the actuating knob which slides vertically and horizontally within
the slot e and its continuation el is preferably screwed into the wire b, the latter sliding
and partially rotating within the said vertical tube a, the extent of its movement
being governed by the length of the slots
e,
e².
When it is necessary to open the file so as to remove the papers the knob Cis
raised, whereupon the curved end of the wire & disengages from the end of the
tube c, and, on pushing the spindle by its knob to the end of the horizontal
continuation e' of the vertical slot e in the direction of the arrow it then assumes the
position shown in dotted lines.
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 :-

WILLIAM CALWAY of Sharpness Gloucestershire Manufacturer of Calways
Poultry & Game Foods & Appliances do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
Improvements in chicken rearers.
Instead of making the rearers of a rectangular form I make them circular with the
heating apparatus in the centre so that there is the same temperature in all parts, aud
crowding in the corners is avoided.
By preference use an oil lamp for heating, which is placed in the centre resting
on the bottom, a metal cone or cylinder closed at the upper end and with one or more
discs in to intercept and radiate the heat is placed over the lamp, a pipe in the upper
end leads off the smoke or fumes. This cone rests on a false bottom which rests on
strips placed across bottom leaving a space for the admission of air to the lamp. Two
valves are so arranged that the supply of air can be cut off or increased and so
regulate the temperature of the rearer, the valves direct the currents of air in such a
way that the lamp cannot be blown out by them when the rearers are placed out
of doors.

WILLIAM CALWAY Dock House, Sharpness Docks, Glos. Poultry Food and
Appliance 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:-
Instead of making the Rearers of rectangular form, I make them circular (Fig. 1)
with the heating apparatus in the centre (Fig. 3) so that there is the same temperature
in all parts and crowding in the corners is avoided.
For heating 1 use an oil lamp which is placed in the centre, resting on the bottom
(Fig. 3 D) a metal cone or cylinder closed at the upper end, (Fig. 3 A) and with a disc
(Fig. 3 B) in to intercept and radiate the heat is placed over the lamp.
A pipe
(Fig. 3 C) in the upper end leads off the smoke or fumes. This cone rests on a false
bottom (Fig. 2) which rests on strips placed across the bottom (Fig. 2) leaving a
space (Fig. 2 B B) for the admission of air to the lamp (Fig. 2C). Two valves
(Fig. 2 A A) are so arranged that the supply of air can be cut off or increased; and
so regulate the temperature of the Rearer. The valves (Fig. 2 A A) direct the
currents of air in such a way that the lamp (Fig. 2 U) cannot be blown out by them
when the Rearers are placed out of doors.
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:
First. Its general circular form.
Second. The simple and economical mode of heating (as described).
Third. The means adopted for regulating the temperature of the rearer & for
protecting the lamp.

I, WILHELMINA (MINNA) MICHAELSON of 73, Sutherland Avenue, Maida Vale,
London, & of 24, Old Cavendish Street, London Artist 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 :-
A method whereby transparent Pictures can be painted on glass-porcelain-tin-
or any substance reflecting light or through which light can pass-requiring no firing
& which can be cleaned in the ordinary way with water.
I claim for my Invention that effects of Transparent Painting are obtained with
greater Body & Brilliancy of colors, & that the nearest approach to stained Glass can
be produced without Firing & also that it will stand heat & be used for Gas
Globes Lamps & Fire screens-It also requires no firing if used for Porcelain
Ornamentation.
I first draw in my design with a pen-using Artist's Etching Ink, on the Glass-
Porcelain Tin, or other substance for that purpose-as the material can then be well
cleaned & polished with turpentine, which will not disturb the outlines so made-
ready for receiving the coats of paint, which I then proceed to lay on―These consist
of the ordinary oil tube colors-diluted & well mixed to the required tints, with pale
Gold-size-allowing the tints so laid on at least 24 hours to dry undisturbed, first
removing the high lights, at a certain stage ere dry-about half an hour after their
application.
Before repainting next day, I brush over well with Spirits of Turpentine, & then lay.
on second tints of colors, disolved as before, in gold size & this process may be repeated
as often as may be necessary-always allowing a day to intervene, between each appli-
cation-I then proceed to make out well, all details of drawing, with the ordinary
Transparent Oil tube colors, disolved in Terebene, & outlining in the saine medium-
When this is again quite dry, I brush over again well, with spirits of Turpentine, &
then varnish over all, using White Copal Varnish.

page_text: Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is-
-
That effects of Transparent Painting are obtained with greater Body & Brilliancy
of colors.
That the nearest approach to Stained Glass can be produced without Firing. That
it will stand heat, so as to be used for Gas Globes-Lamps-Fire-screens etc.
It also requires no Firing if used for Porcelain Ornamentation.

Improvement in the Manufacture of Fishing or Wading Boots
and such like Articles.
I, WILLIAM CURRIE, Junior, of the firm of William Currie & Co., Indiarubber
Manufacturers, of the Caledonian Rubber Works, Edinburgh, Scotland, 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 fishing or wading boots, stockings or trousers and such
like articles and consists in an improved manufacture of said articles having for its
object to secure their ventilation.
Ordinarily fishing or wading boots, stockings or trousers and similar articles for
wear while fishing or wading are made from waterproof materials known in the
trade as "single" and "double texture fabrics, in which the waterproofing material,
usually indiarubber, adheres to the fabric or fabrics. These goods possess no ventilation
and produce a clammy feeling when worn. My improvement consists in making said
articles with an inner lining of light, not waterproofed, woven or knitted fabric
which may be made of any textile material and is attached to the outer single or
double texture waterproofed fabric at the seams only, leaving the other parts loose.
This loose lining allows the perspiration to pass through it and ascend between it
and the outer fabric and thus secures ventilation and prevents the clammy feeling
produced by the wearing of the ordinary articles.
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 manufacture of fishing or wading boots or such like articles with inner
linings of not waterproofed woven or knitted fabric attached to the outer water-
proofed fabric at the seams only, substantially as herein described.

Improvements in Lithographic Presses.

Improvements in Lithographic Presses.
I, NEWNHAM BROWNE of 73 Cheapside, in the City of London, Fellow of the
Institute of Patent Agents, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN LITHOGRAPHIC PRESSES" which invention has been communicated
to me from abroad by Gustav Adolf Küstner of Dresden in the Kingdom of Saxony
and Empire of Germany Lithographic Press Manufacturer and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
In lithographic presses constructed as shown in the accompanying drawings the
roller which bears directly upon the stone A and serves to press the paper against the
latter, must have an elastic covering so that it may exert an even pressure against all
parts of the paper and cause an equally sharp impression of the lines, designs or
marks on the stone even if the surface of the stone should present slight inequalities.
In order to impart the requisite stability to such roller it has hitherto been made
of large diameter. This in conjunction with the elasticity of its surface causes the
roller to bear upon a, comparatively speaking, large part of the sheet and a further
consequence is a rough impression instead of a clear, and where requisite, delicate
one, and this limits the use of the machine.
To enable such a machine to yield finer impressions is the object of the present
improvements as illustrated in the longitudinal section shown in the annexed
drawing.
A pressure roller a of small diameter is so combined with two larger rollers b, b
that the latter are placed at cither side above the former and prevent any bending
upward or buckling of the roller a which might take place if the thin roller a were
(without the rollers b, b) pressed against the stone. As however the rollers b, b
exert a counter pressure against the impression roller a they counteract any buckling
of roller a that might occur in either direction.
This combination of rollers permits a very thin roller a to be used, which could not
heretofore be done, such thin roller presents but a narrow surface and thus perfects
lithographic impressions by making the lines very clear and delicate.
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 lithographic press the combination of three rollers a, and b, b, the first serving
as the impression roller which by reason of its smaller diameter presents but a narrow
portion to the printing surface thereby improving the impressions whilst the
rollers b, b act as counterpressure rollers and prevent buckling of the roller a.

Improvements in and relating to Chemical Fire-extinguishing
Compounds. .
I, CHARLES MADISON MARTIN, residing at Number 1715, G Street, North West,
in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, Gentle-
man, 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 well understood that the fire-extinguishing compounds now in use give off
gases the instant the ingredients are brought into union, and that consequently
they lose much of their usefulness during their passage from the apparatus to the
flames.
'
My invention comprehends a neutral fire-extinguishing compound, that is to say,
a compound which generates no gases on the union of its ingredients, but which
requires to be brought into contact with heat before the gases will be given off.
In making my improved compound I take, say, sixty pounds sodium chloride,
thirty pounds sodium hyposulphate, six pounds sal-ammoniac, two and one-half pounds
magnesium sulphate, one-half pound magnesium chloride, one-half pound calcium
oxide, and one-half pound iron oxide. These ingredients are combined in the
proportions above indicated and dissolved in water, the compound being readily
soluble in the proportion of three pounds of the mixture to one gallon of water.
When the compound has been prepared as above described and thrown upon fire
it at onco emits sulphurous-acid gas in combination with free chlorine and ammoniacal.
gas, which instantly extinguishes the flames and renders the inflammable material
incombustible.
The solution is to be thrown from the apparatus by means of air-pressure.
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 chemical fire-extinguishing compound, consisting of sodium
chloride, sodium hyposulphate, sal-ammoniac, magnesium sulphate, magnesium chloride,
calcium oxide, and iron oxide, mixed in the proportion described, and dissolved in
water, as above set forth."
