or
In the carrying out of my invention I utilize the "cut" "spread" sheet
variety of india rubber, chemically vulcanized, as a wrapper to be wound around
the handle in order to afford to the hand a secure grasp. In applying the said
rubber to the handle or shaft of a golf club for example, I take a strip of the said
rubler of say two feet in length and wind it around the handle. The top or one
end of the rubber may be secured by a wind of the rubber and the other end of
the rubber may be secured by turning it under the last rolled layer of the rubber
or by a ligature of any kind, or by any elastic ring or section of tubing. The
said "cut sheet" rubber affords to the hand a most tenacious hold without grasping
effort.
Any desired width or thickness of the "cut sheet" rubber may be used.

Improvements in Steam Pumps.
I, EMILE BASTIEN, Works Manager, of Terramesnil, in the Republic of France,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to steam pumps of any of the kinds ordinarily used for
raising water and more especially to direct-acting steam pumps.
It has for its object a novel method of construction and arrangement for the
purpose of condensing the steam after it has been used in the steam cylinder.
The steam is admitted in the usual way through a supply pipe to the valve chest,
and after actuating the piston in the steam cylinder it is conducted through one
or more exhaust pipes to one or more chambers where it expands, and from which
it passes into the suction pipe or chamber of the pump where it is condensed by
the water which is being raised, a more or less perfect vacuum being formed in
the exhaust pipes from the steam cylinder.

Improvements in Steam Pumps.
I, EMILE BASTIEN of Terramesnil in the Republic of France, Works Manager
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 condensing apparatus for steam pumps for raising
water and particularly to two cylinder direct-acting pumps.
In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings Fig. 1 is an elevation of a
condensing apparatus for steam pumps constructed according to this invention and
Fig. 2 is a plan and Fig. 3 an end view of the same.
The steam enters the steam chest or valve box of the pump by the pipe a and
after use in the cylinders, exhausts by the pipes b and then passes through
the pipes c c¹ to the chambers d d' which are connected to the suction pipe f of the
pumps. The suction of the pumps produces at each stroke a vacuum in the
pipes c c¹.
By this condensing apparatus an economy of 20% of steam is effected without
affecting the capacity of the pumps; also steam of a much lower pressure can be
employed in consequence of the vacuum produced; and when required to erect
these pumps in shafts the free escape of steam is avoided.
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. Condensing apparatus for a steam pump consisting of a distributing steam
chest, exhaust pipes leading from the said chest, and of chambers connected by
pipes to the exhaust from the steam chest and to the suction of the pump
ouhotantially on docevibed

page_text: 2. The condensing apparatus for steam pumps substantially as described with
reference to the drawings.

in the County of London, 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:-
My invention relates to the droppers which are placed at intervals between the
main posts of wire fencing, for the purpose of keeping the several wires of the fence.
at the same vertical distance apart from each other. For this purpose 1 construct
a dropper as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figs. 1 and 2 are side views of the two members of the dropper shewn separate,.
Fig. 3 is a side view and Fig. 4 a sectional plan shewing them held together
embracing a pair of wires.
Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional plans shewing modifications.
A and B are two bars of approximately T section one of the cross limbs of the T
being bent inwards as shewn at t.
In the middle limb of the one bar I cut notches C curving upwards and in the
middle limb of the other bar B I cut notches D curving downwards; I place the
two bars so that their middle limbs overlap each other, the edge of each bar
becoming engaged within the gab of the bent in part t of the other bar.
The wires W having entered the notches C and D are engaged therein as in
bayonet catches when the one bar is slid a little along the other. The two bars A
and B, after being engaged on the wires, can be secured together by bolts or
otherwise. I prefer however to provide at the end of one of the bars B a projecting
tongue b, which, after the two bars are put together engaging the wires, can be
bent over the other bar as shewn in Fig. 3.
A modified form of the T bars is shewn in Fig. 5, and bars of L section with.
the cross limbs turned in are shewn in Fig. 6.
Although I have shewn only two wires W engaged in the dropper, obviously the
bars A and B of which it consists may be long enough and provided with sufficient.
notches to engage a greater number of wires.
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
A dropper for wire fencing consisting of two bars having ribs notched to admit
the wires of the fence and fixed together with these ribs overlapping, substantially
as described.

Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Buttons.
We, LAZAR ABRAHAM AMIGO, of XVI Elizabethgasse 4 Manufacturer, and
MATTHÄUS MARSCHALL, of VII Halbgasse 21 Engraver, both of Vienna, in
the Empire of 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 :-
This invention relates to a process for stamping buttons from ivory-nut, and to
the new article of manufacture thus obtained.
This process consists in first macerating the rough buttons, then bleaching and
softening the same and finally stamping the mass thus rendered soft and malleable.
In carrying out this process, the rough buttons, simply cut out or made round,
are soaked in a hot solution of permanganate of potash, (about 1 gramm for 1 liter
of water) where they undergo a preliminary maceration. The length of this
operation will depend upon the nature of the raw material of the buttons; in the
case of buttons made from ivory-nut, the maceration will have to be continued till
the buttons assume a brown colour. Upon this, the buttons are bleached by laving
them for 1 to 2 hours in a solution of commercial sulphurous acid, whence they are
placed into a hot alkaline bath (a solution of soda, for instance) where they remain
for a similar period of time and which has the effect of neutralizing the acid still
adhering to the buttons.
In consequence of this treatment, the buttons will acquire sufficient malleableness
and softness, that any desired outline may be imparted to them by means of hollow
punches.
The buttons prepared by this process may be afterwards finished by pressing and
may be ornamented with any suitable design in the well-known manner.
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 :-
1. A. process of manufacturing stamped buttons from ivory-nut, consisting in
submitting the said buttons to a preliminary maceration in a hot bath of per-
manganate of potash, then bleaching them in a bath of sulphurous acid and
afterwards soaking them in a hot alkaline solution for the purpose of neutralizing
the acid still adhering to the buttons, and finally forming or moulding the mass
rendered soft and malleable in consequence of this treatment by means of punches
substantially as set forth.
2. As a new article of manufacture, stamped buttons obtained from ivory-nut by
the process hereinbefore described.

without a handle at each end. On each side of the middle of this rod and at about
two and a half inches from it is placed a small roller, the edges of which are
preferably bevelled, and which is free to revolve on the rod. These rollers are
kept in position on the rod by collars or other suitable means. The improved
horse is held under the filled scoop by the stokers in the usual manner and the
scoop is run into the retort on the rollers, thus minimizing the friction incident to
the use of the old form of horse.

A New or Improved Device for Clipping or Holding Golf Balls
while Painting-same.
I, WILLIAM VICKERS JACOB, of Mordington East, Bognor, 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:-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for clipping or holding golf
balls and has for its object to provide a clip or device which will securely hold golf
balls so that they may be painted without soiling the fingers. My improved clip
or holder possesses advantages over existing devices of this kind in so far that it
will hold two golf balls at the same time, while it can be conveniently suspended
from any suitable projection until the golf balls are dry, and further, as the device
is made of wire it can be very cheaply produced.
In carrying my invention into practice, I take a piece of wire of sufficient length
and bend same in the middle, making two arms of equal length, these two arms are
then bent round into the form of a complete circle in the middle of same, the free
ends being then bent at right angles towards one another and form one clip, while
the end at which the wire was first bent is severed, the two arms drawn apart, and
the ends bent at right angles towards one another to form the second clip.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a plan of my improved golf ball clip or holder and Fig. 2 is a side view
of same.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
My improved clip or holder consists of a piece of wire of steel, or other suitable
material, bent as above described and shown in the drawings, the ends a a¹ being
turned inwards towards one another to form one clip, while the ends bb' are also
bent in the same manner to form the second clip, and the ring r formed by the
twistings of the wire serves for suspending it from any convenient projection, the
said ring being bound at suitable intervals with thin wire c in order to strengthen
same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
declare that what I
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed,
claim is :-
The new
or improved golf ball clip or holder, arranged and constructed
substantially as herein described and shown and for the purpose set forth.

Improved Manufacture of Woven Cloth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Manufacture of Woven Cloth.
I, GEORGE EDDISON STEAD, of Skinner Lane Works, Leeds in the County of
York, Linen Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
scertained in and by the following statement:-—
My invention relates to the manufacture of woven fabrics and consists in an
mproved weave or interlacement of warp and weft threads by means of which a
double cloth combined in one is produced of great strength and closeness, so that
for all practical purposes it is waterproof or showerproof in consequence of its solid
and compact weave and suitable for all purposes where these qualities are desired,
such as sail cloth, wagon covers, tent cloths, sunblinds, shoe canvas, leggings, and
исп пке.
such like.
On the drawing appended hereunto
Fig. 1 shows the plan of the weave,
Fig. 2, the draft,
Fig. 3 a diagram with the weft in section and the warp threads indicated by
different lines,
Fig. 4. a plan of the fabric with the threads drawn apart.
The fabric is woven with four shafts and the warp threads drawn in straight
across as shown by Fig. 2, twice four threads showing a repeat of the pattern, and
eight picks to the round or length of pattern. The sequence of lifts for each warp
thread is the same namely one pick up, one down, three up, three down, the tappets
being set over against each other in the order shown in the plan Fig. 1. In consequence
of this arrangement as will be seen from the plan there are alternately one and three
warp threads lifted.
When only one thread is lifted the weft being beaten up hard
will place itself on the top side of the fabric and where three are lifted on the
underside. In consequence of this each warp thread will come to the surface only
where it is lifted by itself at the middle one of three consecutive lifts and appear
on the underside only at the middle of three consecutive drops, while for the
remainder of the picks it will be in the middle of the cloth as shown by Fig. 3.
On Fig. 4 the threads appearing on the face of the cloth are shown shaded; it will
be seen that these by themselves form a cloth and a similar cloth is formed on the
underside, the two being tied together by each warp thread once in every eight
picks as seen on Fig. 3.
By this weave a very firm cloth is produced suitable for the purposes herein-
before referred to. It may be woven with single or doubled yarns, self colored,
bleached or dyed and with one kind of weft, or two different kinds of weft for the
face and back.
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 manufacture of cloth woven as herein before described.

Sutton Street, Aston, near Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Coffin
Furniture Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement, and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing:
This invention is applicable to that kind of coffin handle having arms and ends.

with the necessity of joining, and at the same time allowing the handle to be
made of a cleaner finish and of more artistic and varied pattern.
In the accompanying drawing, A represents the arm, and B the end, made in
one piece, after which they are joined together in pairs, by the rod C, the said rod
being coated by the tubing D.
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 :-
In coffin handles, the end and arm made in one piece as hereinbefore described
and illustrated by the accompanying drawing.

Improvements in Candle Stick Nozzles or Candle Holders.
I, FREDERICK BAKER, of No. 30 Park Street in the City of Birmingham, Tin
Plate Worker, 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 had to the accompanying drawings and
to the letters and figures marked thereon :-
This invention has for its object the formation and mode of applying to candle
sticks that portion thereof known in the trade as the nozzle or portion of the candle
stick which holds the candle.
The candle stick with its nozzle may be made of brass, tin or any other metal, of
china glass or any other suitable material, and either wholly of one material or the
candle stick of one and the nozzle of another material.
The invention consists in forming upon the stem of the nozzle or candle holder a
screw thread and forming the dish or body of the candle stick with a hole wherein
to insert the stem of the nozzle this hole being furnished with a short length of
female screw to receive the screw thread upon the nozzle. Or for candle sticks
having a stem or socket, the stem or socket may be furnished with a female screw
to receive the screw thread on the nozzle portion.
If desired the female screw may be on the nozzle and the male screw on the candle
stick body
or on the socket or stem.

A Material for Improving the Flavour and Digestibility of Tea or
other Infusions containing Tannin.
I, CHARLES BROOKE WALLER of Church Street, Bingham, Notts., Surgeon
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 a material for improving the flavour
and digestibility of tea or other infusions containing tannin.
For this purpose I mix about 2 parts by weight of gelatine with one part of
bicarbonate of soda, which may have mixed with it a small proportion of borate of
soda. These substances may be mixed and employed in the form of powder, or the
mixture may be made in or put into a moist condition, so that it can be moulded in
the form of tablets or lozenges; and it may be coloured as desired. By adding a
portion of the pulverulent mixture or one or more of the tablets or lozenges to an
infusion of tea or other substance containing tannin, the tannin is rendered insoluble
and innocuous and thus the infusion is greatly improved in respect of flavour and
digestibility.
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 a material consisting of gelatine and sodium salt,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
