constant distance apart.
As in this construction both the axle and the axle-box have a plain smooth
surface, the manufacture is cheap and easy. It is applicable with equal advantage,
where an axle turns in a bearing and where a hub turns on an axle.
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of an axle bearing embodying my invention,
Fig. 2 is an end view of the same,
Figs. 3 and 4 show a modification on a larger scale.
The rollers are provided with journals z which have their bearings in rings b
leaving a clearance both inside and outside, so as to touch neither the axle nor the
hub.
b
As shown by the drawings, the rings 6 may have semicircular recesses a for the
rollers, instead of which they may be bored out, so as to allow the rollers to move
slightly both outward and inward.
Each roller is provided with journals at both ends and may also have one or two
intermediate journals, or instead of the end journals there may be one or more in
the middle. The rollers may be made long enough to extend along the whole
bearing, or several short rollers may be placed one after the other. In the latter
case, their axes may be out of line, as indicated by Figs. 3 and 4.
If the axle or the hub is set in motion, the rollers will turn and carry the rings b
with them.
As the journals have only to propel the rings, they cause very little friction,
and the rollers will run more easily, than is the case with other known roller
bearings.
Instead of plain cylindrical rollers, as shown, rollers with rounded ends or other
suitable shapes may be adopted.
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 roller bearing, the combination of rollers r having journals, with rings b
adapted to hold the said journals without touching either the axle or the hub,
substantially as described."

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Process for Treating Hides and Skins in the Manufacture of
Leather.
We, ALEXANDER KETTLE YOUNG ANDERSON, of Number 14 Scott Street
Saint Kilda, near the City of Melbourne in the Colony of Victoria, Woolclasser
and Fellmonger, and JOHN MACKINTOSH, of Number 34 Queen Street, in the
City of Melbourne in the said Colony of Victoria, 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 :-
Our invention relates to the treatment of hides and skins preparatory to tanning
in such a manner that several of the usual preliminary stages in the manufacture of
leather are dispensed with, the time occupied in tanning is much reduced and a
considerable saving of labor is effected.
For this purpose, a number of hides and skins in their natural condition, as
removed from the animals' backs, are soaked in cold water until they are softened.
They are then rough fleshed and immersed in water at a temperature of about
80° Fahrenheit (27° C.) for about half an hour. After being drained they are
hung in a hermetically closed vessel into which carbonic acid gas is forced up to a
pressure of about 30 pounds to the square inch. The hides or skins after being
then subjected for about one hour to the action of the carbonic acid, have the hair
or wool so loosened that it is easily removed by hairing knives, after which the
hides or skins are cleaned by scraping and fleshing and are ready for tanning.
The pores are so opened by the treatment described that the hides or skins freely
absorb the tanning agent, which may be of the strongest character, so that they
are very quickly tanned.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In the manufacture of leather, a process for treating hides and skins so as to
prepare them for tanning, by soaking them in water until they are softened, rough
fleshing, treating with warm water, subjecting them to the action of carbonic
acid gas under pressure, removing the hair thus loosened, and cleaning, substantially
as described.

invention to be as follows:-
This invention aims at safely delivering mineral oils and other like fluids (which
will float on water without mixing therewith,) for use in flare-lamps furnaces and
for other purposes.
The apparatus employed consists of two closed receptacles one of which is fixed
inside the other. The outer and larger vessel contains water and has an air space
above the water line, to which air or steam can be delivered from an air compressor
cylinder or boiler.
The inner or smaller vessel contains the oil, and has an opening at bottom
communicating with the outer vessel, so that when pressure is applied to the surface
of the water in the outer vessel, the water communicates the pressure to the oil in
the inner vessel and drives it out by an outlet pipe. provided in the top of the said
vessel for delivery purposes.
To prevent absorption of the water in the outer chamber a film of vegetable or
other non-drying oil can be placed upon the water surface.
The oil on leaving the inner vessel can be sprayed or divided as required, and the
amount delivered. can be regulated by taps in the usual way.
the retainers are fitted thereto.

Improvements in and relating to Metal Tubes.
JOHN EDWARD GRESTY 27 Estate Buildings, Huddersfield Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements in this invention relate to the formation of metal tubes with
ribs flanges or projections from the surfaces either on the outer or inner side of
the tube.
In forming tubes with projections on according to this invention I employ a
wrought metal tube as the foundation for strength to stand high pressures and form
the ribs or projections by cast metal.
This may be done by casting a shell in contact with the wrought tube such
casting to have the ribs or projections on either on the outer or inner side of the
tube.
These ribs or projections will form collectors of heat on the side exposed to fire
or heat and will act as radiators on the side opposite from the fire or heat.
The formation of tubes according to this invention will be done at much less
cost than out of the wrought metal tube.
For some purposes the flanged ribs or projections may be formed on the wrought
tube or on a wrought shell belt or strap put on or round the foundation tube.

Improvements in Compound Projectiles.
I, HEINRICH MARTIN, of VIII Anton-Langer Strasse No. 18, Vienna,
Austria, Mechanic, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to compound projectiles for guns and small arins consisting
of a lead core with a casing of a harder metal. In such projectiles as hitherto
constructed, the rear end of the lead core is left in great part uncovered by the casing,
whereby, on the one hand, the lead core is liable to be forced through the
casing when subject to explosion gases at very high pressures and when the
casing experiences exceptional frictional resistance in the bore, or, on the other
hand, the lead core becomes melted and runs out, owing to direct contact with the
flame from the explosive.
According to my invention I obviate these defects by forming the rear end of
the projectile with several pleats or folds so as to bring it to a star shape, whereby
the lead core becomes more or less completely enclosed by the shell, so that the
above described action cannot take place.
This construction also enables the rear end of the projectile to be made of a
reduced size.
The accompanying drawing shews by way of example various forms of projectiles.
with pleated or folded rear ends.
Fig. 1 shews an elevation partly in section and a bottom view of one form of a.
projectile constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 shews the same views of another form of my improved projectile.

I, HEINRICH MARTIN, of VIII Anton-Langer Strasse No. 18, Vienna, Austria,.
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 compound projectiles for guns and small arms consisting
of a lead core with a casing of a harder metal. In such projectiles as hitherto
constructed, the rear end of the lead core is left in great part uncovered by the
casing, whereby, on the one hand, the lead core is liable to be forced through
the casing when subject to explosion gases at very high pressures and when the
casing experiences exceptional frictional resistance in the bore, or, on the other
hand, the lead core becomes melted and runs out, owing to direct contact with the
flame from the explosive.

Improvements in Diaries, Calendars, and Memorandum Tablets.
1, JOHANNES WILHELM JUSTUS of Catherinenhof, Hamburg, 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 refers to calendars or diaries suitable for daily accounts or
memoranda, and is distinguished by rotating rollers which supply and wind off paper
for covering the writing face of the tablet.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which
Fig. 1 shows one of my improved tablets in longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 shows a cross-section of the same through the line x-y.
Fig. 3 shows a cross-section between the rollers 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 shows a perspective view of the entire diary.
1, 2 and 3 are rollers of which No. 2 is the feed-roller containing the supply of
paper to be used on the face of the tablet.
No. 3 is a friction roller around which the paper travels on its way to the
surface a, where it is employed. No. 1 is the roller on which it is wound
after use.
a, is the centre block forming the writing surface of the tablet over which the
paper travels when passing from roller 3 to roller 1.
b, is the paper shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 1. c, c, are the side walls of the
tablet. d, is the base or bottom plate of the tablet, which is made of wood, metal
or any other suitable material. d, is the lower end which forms a rest for the hand
of the writer. e, is a cranked winder for turning the rollers 1, 2, and is screwed to
fit both of them.
It will be seen that a sloping block is employed with hollow recesses to receive
the rollers. The direction of the paper is shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 1 passing
from roller 2 to roller 3. On ascending roller 3 it passes over the centre a, and
onwards to roller 1. It can however be wound the reverse way if preferred.
The dotted lines in Fig. 3 show the axle on which the roller 1 works.
dotted lines in Fig. 4 show also the bottom plate and the position of the rollers.
The rollers can be emptied or refilled by unscrewing the nuts on the left end of
the axles.
The
When used as a calendar, the paper is printed with the dates and division lines
and other information so as to convey the usual intelligence required in a
calendar.
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 cash diary, calendar and memorandum tablet, the combination therewith of
a train of rollers on which run removable paper strips, as herein described and set
forth.

Improvements in Screw-down Valves and the like.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Screw-down Valves and the like.
I, CARL LINK, Director of the Chemical Factory, of Schirpitz, near Thorn, 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 relates to screw down valves and similar valves and the object of
the improvements which relate to particular construction of the meeting surfaces
of the valve and its seat is to afford a remedy against the disadvantages especially
met with in steam-cut-off valves and resulting from the abrading and unequal
wearing of the surfaces.
In this improved construction, a vertical section of which is shown in the
annexed drawing, the previous principle of making the seat and the valve of one
and the same material and of grinding them on to one another is abandoned and I
have substituted, therefor the use of two materials different in structure and
hardness, obtaining on the one hand considerably more intimate contact between
the seat and the valve and on the other also an easy and ready compensation of
any unevenuess that may occur between the surfaces of these two parts. It is
preferable that the meeting face of the valve, which is above the seat, may be
made of soft material, in order that any foreign matter, which may clog the valve,
may not form an exterior precipitate or roughness thereon but that such foreign
matter may be, owing to the pressure exerted by the spindle, forced into the
material of the valve.
In the annexed drawing showing a screw-down valve provided with the above
mentioned arrangement, the inserted valve-seat A is made of hard material (such
as red brass) and upon its upper side it is provided with an annular projecting
bead A to serve as a meeting face for the leaden ring C which is dove-tailed into
the body B of the valve. The latter on account of the pressure exerted thereon is
likewise made of hard material and the softer meeting surface is only inserted with
the objects previously described and in order that repair may be easily and simply
effected. In such case it is only necessary that the body of the valve be taken out
and heated to the melting point of the lead, and the surface of the lead ring after
it has again coled down may be freed from any unevenness by the aid of a
scraper or new lead may be run into the annular groove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
In a screw-down or similar cut-off-valve the combination of a valve-seat A
made of hard material and having for its meeting surface au annular projecting
bead A' with a valve body B having a ring C of soft metal such as lead dove-tailed
into said body for the purpose set forth.
