Northampton, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
--
.
According to this invention I utilise the heat of fermenting material such as manure
for heating fluids.
I bury a length of pipe preferably in the form of a coil in the fermenting
material the coil being inade of earthenware or other substance not liable to be
acted upon.
The pipe or coil can be used either as a reservoir from which the hot fluid is drawn
being replaced from a cold supply or as part of a circulating system in which heated
fluid flows away in pipes, is utilised for heating buildings, and other structures and
returns to be reheated.

material loses its heat it is taken out from the pit a and replaced by fresh manure or
fermenting material.
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. Apparatus for heating water or other fluid by passing it through a pipe in contact
with manure or other fermenting material substantially as described.
2. Apparatus in connection with incubators hot beds and horticultural and other
buildings or structures in which heat is conveyed to the same from manure or
fermenting material by the circulation of water or fluid substantially as described.

The composition is entirely new and also the application of it against contagious
disease of the lungs.
By the systematic application of this preservative, contagion is entirely impossible
by Cattle as the germs of such contagious disease of the lungs of Cattle cannot be
further developed, but are extirpated entirely.
Of course according to the nature of Cattle and variety of the Sickness, other
remedies might be applied with occasional success, but the above described preserva-
tive will be found the most effective in all cases.
My invention is a preservative which by the nature of the case must be applied
internally, by introduction into the body of the animal.
The effect of my invention manifests itself in the fact that the lungs of Cattle which
have been disinfected by the application of my preservative will never be inclined to the
disease as the germs of the contagious disease in the lungs are entirely annihilated.
The systematic application of my preservative is as follows for a full grown and well
developed animal always on an empty stomach.

I, ERIK WILHELM GRONBERG, of Raumo, Finland, 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 preparation for the treatment of rheumatics and consists
in mixing and combining extracts of ants and Ledum (Ledum palustre) with a
solution of camphor in spirits, the said extracts and solution being prepared in the
nanner hereinafter setforth.
The ant-extract is prepared in the following way. The ants are collected in the
forests and are carefully cleaned or freed from pine and fir leaves and the like, they
are then digested during eight days at a temperature of 20° to 24° Celsius in an
equal volume of 90 per cent. spirit. The digestion having thus been effected, the
extract is carefully pressed out of the ants and filtered.
The Ledum intended for use must be gathered in bloom and only that part of the
plant which has grown during the current year should be taken together with the
flowers. The plant gathered in this way must be cut or minced very fine and then
digested in a similar manner to the ants during eight days in an equal volume of
90 per cent. spirit, and the extract is then pressed out and filtered.
The solution of camphor is prepared by dissolving for example 1,275 kilogrammes
of camphor in 4 litres of 90 per cent. spirit.
The extracts and the solution of camphor produced in the manner hereinbefore
described are then mixed together in the proportions of about 20 litres of ant extract
to 3 litres of Ledum-extract and 1 litre of camphor-solution. The preparation thus
made is then poured into bottles of suitable size which are then properly corked
and labelled.
I have found the above stated proportions to give good results but they can
obviously be varied, if required, without departing from my invention.

page_text: 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 :-
The herein described preparation for the treatment of rheumatics, the said prepara-
tion consisting of extracts of ants and Ledum (Ledum palustre) prepared by digesting
the ants and the Ledum separately in strong spirits and then pressing out and filtering
the extracts produced, and of a solution of camphor in spirits, the said extracts and
solution being then mixed together.

to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :--
This invention relates to a class of fan which does not close entirely but forms into
a screen and the object of same is to strengthen the frames thereof.
According to this invention I either connect two or more of the back ribs together
or I form a solid back substantially as hereafter described. And in order that my

At Figures 2 and 4 the frame is shewn with a solid back e either extending to the
mounting only of the fan or screen or forming an entire back as shown by the dotted
line Figure 2 and to this back I fix a watch or mirror whon desired. Although I
have described and shewn at Figures 1 and 3 three of the ribs connected I may of
course connect more or less than this number. By constructing fan or folding screen
frames as above they will be found particularly applicable to those for feather mountings
curled forward or other mountings in relief as such mountings will not be liable to
become damaged when the screen or fan is closed and I also obtain double top ribs instead
of single ones as heretofore, the fan or screen will be similar to two closed fans placed
side by side one opening to the right and one to the left and will thus be capable of
great ornamentation on account of having double front ribs.

Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
I take blotting or other suitable paper preferably of a thin texture. So far I find
what is known as British Filter paper to be the best & steep it well in oil till
transparent. I then either by mechanical means or by washing with dilute alkali or
water get rid of excess of oil & dry.
The resulting paper will copy all inks when wet without running & without wetting
or use of press. The best Ink to use is one mixed with glycerine or other substances
to keep it evenly damp.

page_text: The Manufacture of an Improved Paper for Use in Copying Letters
and the like.
I, ALBERT FRANK STODDART, of Grafton Lodge, Sneyd Park, Bristol, in the County
of Gloucester, Manufacturing 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 :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of an improved material or paper whereby
letters and like written documents can be simultaneously blotted and copied.
In carrying out my invention, I take paper of the consistency of blotting paper
preferably of a thin texture, and thoroughly and evenly impregnate it with oil until
it is transparent. By oil, I mean any animal, vegetable, or natural mineral oil or fat,
or the oily or fatty products of distillation of petroleum, coal, shale, and the like, or
any mixture of these.
The paper which I find to give the best results is that which is commonly known
as British filter paper, and I find a high class mineral or shale oil to answer well
in practice. Any excess of oil or fat is extracted by mechanical or other means such
as by washing with dilute alkali or water, so as to leave the material sufficiently
transparent and absorbent without being greasy or oily enough to soil the letters
or documents whilst they are being copied. The material or paper thus treated is
dried and is then ready for use.
Letters or other documents intended to be copied by means of my improved
copying material or paper can be written with any ordinary ink which will keep wet
long enough to yield a proper copy. In order to make use of my prepared paper it
is simply necessary to evenly press a sheet of the same upon the letter when a perfect
copy will be produced and the letter will at the same time have been blotted.
By this means no wetting process is required and the use of a copying press is
dispensed with.
.
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 and use of the material or paper hereinbefore described for
simultaneously blotting and copying letters and other written documents, the said
material being prepared by impregnating blotting or like paper with oil or fat,
substantially as set forth.

The upright portion of the arm is provided with a crank shaft B on which is secured
a driving pulley D.
The crank of the shaft B has mounted upon and supports a connecting rod E
having a right angled extension E¹ the said connecting rod and its extension having
a series of half boxes, see Figure 2, with which co-operates other half boxes a, b, c,
the said boxes embracing crank-pins a¹, b, c, on the discs attached to the
shafts a, b, c, all parallel and driving, it may be, respectively the needle-bar, the
lower thread carrier, and the feeding devices.
The rotation of the shaft B actuates the connecting rod and it rotates all the said
shafts at the same speed and in the same direction.
We are aware that heretofore two parallel shafts have been driven by a third shaft
by using one or more connecting rods, but prior to our invention we are not aware

page_text: that parallel shafts have been driven by a fourth shaft by one connecting rod, as
herein shown.
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 cranked driving shaft and the parallel shafts a, b, c, combined with a
connecting rod joined to and rotating the said shafts in the same direction in unison,
substantially as described.

County of Essex, Superintendent Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of said
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 the manufacture of a non-corrosive composition for
application to the surface of iron or steel structures, having special reference to iron
or steel ships and similar vessels, and to an anti-fouling composition, to be used either
in conjunction with the non-corrosive composition or separately, for the purpose of
preventing the growth of marine grasses or other vegetable growths and the attach-
ment of barnacles or other marine animals.
I have discovered that iron or steel submerged surfaces can be perfectly protected
from corrosion by being coated with a composition consisting of the following
ingredients in about the proportions given which however are approximate only.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it to be understood that I
make no claim to the novelty of any one ingredient or of two or more of the
ingredients specified as I am aware that many of them have been used in various
combinations for such purposes but what I claim is :-
The non-corrosive and anti-fouling compositions of the specified ingredients
combined, in the approximate quantities given, prepared and applied substantially as
described and with the objects set forth.

page_text: I, FREDERICK HAINSWORTH of the City of Chicago in the County of Cook in the
State of Illinois, United States of America, Blacksmith, 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 nature and object of this invention are to provide a means for proventing the
longitudinal stretching of the wire fabric formning the mattress, and remaining so.
Figure 1, is a top view of the fabric.
Figure 2, is a longitudinal sectional view.
Figure 3, is a detail.
I use the ordinary coiled wire now used in making mattresses which is shown at C,
fig. 1. The coiled strands are woven or intertwined with each other. Through these
coils is inserted a straight pin B longitudinally with the coiled strands. Each strand
or coil embraces at each point of interlocking of the coils the straight wire B.
This straight wire is hold at its ends by the frame of the mattress, the same as the
coiled strands are.
There is a straight wire in every coil. When the body is placed on the mattress the
wire form the mattress is pussed down, this causes tho coiled wiro at each point of
interlocking to snugly clasp the straight wire and this clasping of the straight wire
at such frequent intervals by the interlocking coils limits the stretching or saging of
the straight wire, if it has a tendency to stretch or sag, and at the same time the
coiled strands are prevented from saging, hince the fabric forming the mattross is
prevented from saging.
The method of weaving or making this fabric is as follows. The coils are made in
the usual way and as one coil is made simultaneously a straight wire is run within
this coil, a second coil is formed and a second straight wire is placed within this
second coil, and as the second coil is formed it is interlocked with the first one, and
at the same time it embraces the straight wire in the first coil at each revolution, as
shown in fig. 3.
In fig. 3, is shown the method of making this fabric. In the last coil is the
straight wire b¹.
In this last coil E, as fast as it is made the straight wire b' is placed and so on
until the fabric is completed.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention

straight wire, the straight wire being within the coils and embraced or clasped by the
two coils at each point of interlocking substantially as shown.
