The letters of reference apply to corresponding parts in all figures.
A is an ordinary tent pole which may be either in one length, or consist of two
or more pieces jointed together and supported by guy ropes a fastened to pegs p
driven into the ground in the usual manner.
The drawings describe a square tent. Fig. 1 being a ground plan the
letters a cbd shew ground space occupied by the tent, a the guy ropes, p the pegs,
and A the tent pole where the door of the tent is situated.
Fig. 2 is a side view shewing the sides bc or b d and the slope of the roof e. c.
Fig. 3 is a front view shewing sides bc and b d both of which are perpendicular
with pole A in centre, e c and ed shew hip of roof.
Fig. 4 is back view shewing sides a c and a d and ridge of roof a e.
Fig. 5 shews section of sides a c and c. b or a d and d b on line A. B of ground
plan, the entrance to the tent is at 6 but may be placed at any other convenient
position.
The tent although shewn on drawings as square so far as relates to the ground
plan, I would have it understood that I do not confine myself to any particular
shape, it may be made either circular semi-circular, oval, square, oblong, or any
modification of these shapes, consequently it may contain any number of sides
which may be necessary for the required shape, the construction of the roof
however is in all cases the same, that is, all the sides converge to one point.
The front of the tent is made perpendicular, the sides and back all sloping more
or less it can also be made with or without walls and a fly can be used when
required, the broken lines on drawing shew fly when used.
My invention affords better accomodation on a given floor space than the
ordinary tents of the same or similar shape by reason of having the two
perpendicular sides adjoining, thus allowing full head room to the extreme edge of
the tent, costs less in construction by taking less material to give same accomoda-
tion, easy of erection, no space lost, the whole internal space being available for
occupation having no centre pole and the pole being outside insures entire absence
of leakage down the pole into the tent: if desired the pole may be placed just
inside the tent against the perpendicular side.

page_text: 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 an improved tent, the peculiar construction consisting of one or more
perpendicular sides and all other sides sloping and all converging to one point and
the pole fixed in centre of perpendicular side or sides or at the angle outside of
tent or just within the tent, as described in the Specification and illustrated by
drawings.

Improvements in Pillow Shams.
We, GEORGE HERBERT BROWN, and WILLIAM RICHEY MCMURRAY, of
John S. Brown & Sons, Bedford Street, Belfast, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to pillow shams.
In carrying out our invention instead of as usual making separate shams for each
pillow we make the two shams in one single piece.
The double sham is so made that a piece or extension of it is allowed to bang
down at each side of the bed.
The shams are or may be embroidered and hemstitched.
Open work is preferably made between each sham and also between the shams
and end pieces.
The shams and falling down pieces being made all in one piece give a nice
appearance and at the same time retain the pillows in place.
We prefer to call the new sham a "bolster sham."

I HORACE FULLER of Vernon Lodge St. Aubins Jersey Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―
This invention relates to a parlour game, in which is imitated a horse race on au
ordinary or specially prepared board or table.
A number of figures, representing horses, is employed, of any suitable size, and
capable of standing on and being moved over the table, without falling. A suitable
course is marked out on the table, with starting and winning posts, and the horses
are arranged in line or in any order desired. Each player has a horse, and a small
cane or other light and flexible strip, with which his horse is struck, sending it on
a short distance at each blow. In striking, the hand should rest on the table.
If the horse is overturned or fouls one of the posts, the player loses two turns, or
is otherwise handicapped.
The horse may be made to jump by striking it under the fore legs with the
flipper.
A game may also be played with the same devices, in which the horses are sent
as near as possible to the edge of the table, or to a line, without crossing, in a
limited number of strokes, the game being won by the player who gets nearest
the line.

Improvements in Feed Water Heaters or Fuel Economisers for
Steam Generators.
We, CHARLES ALBERT KNIGHT and GEORGE WILLIAM THODE, both of
21 Bothwell Street, in the City of Glasgow, Engineers, 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 fuel economisers for heating feed water for steam
generators, and it has for its object the arrangement of the water circulating tubes
of such apparatus in the flue or passage from the boilers to the chimney in such
wise that the waste heat therefrom is fully utilized and a positive circulation of the.
water through the tubes is ensured.
As represented in the accompanying drawing, which is a vertical section through:
a flue showing the improved feed water heater or fuel economiser in perspective
elevation, a number of tubes such as are usod in sectional steam generators are
arranged in independent groups or sections A, A' and A' and are each connected.
to end pieces or headers B, B1 and B2 so that the water circulating through them.
is carried in succession through the several sections of the apparatus. For better
illustration of the construction of the apparatus the several sections of tubes and
headers are shown separated from each other, but in actual operation the end.
headers of one section rest on those below and those of the lowest section rest on
brickwork in a chamber C built over the flue F. The flue F is fitted with a.
pivoted damper D which on being lifted opens a direct passage through the flue,
but which when closed serves to deflect the hot gases as indicated by the
arrow around the sections of water circulating tubes. The feed water is admitted
to the lowest section by an inlet E connected to one of the headers B, and after
circulating through the tubes A in the lowest section it passes by a pipe FL
connecting the headers B and B into the second section of tubes A². Then after
circulating through the section of tubes A' it passes by the connecting pipe G into
the next higher section of tubes A2 and finally is led by the outlet H in a highly
heated state to the steam generator.
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:-
A feed water heater or fuel economiser composed of a number of independent
sections of water circulating tubes and headers arranged and connected sub-
stantially as described with reference to the annexed drawing.

German Empire.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT of 323 High Holborn, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described aud
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This improvement has for its object to obviate the rupture of the packing-rings
hitherto used which are made of cast, tubular or sheet metal and also to decrease
the high cost of manufacture.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the new metallic packing rings,
Figure 1 is a view as seen from above.
Figure 2 is a cross section of Figure 1 on the line a-b.
Figure 3 is a cross-section of Figure 1 on the line.c―d.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the ring and
Figures 5 and 6 are respectively a view from above and a cross-section of a
modification of the invention.
The improved packing ring is made of preferably drawn wire of any suitable
section formed into a coil so that the successive convolutions e of the packing lie
side by side until the required number of ribs and breadth of ring are obtained.
In Figures 1 to 4 the wire is shown to be coiled in the form of a spiral, while in
Figures 5 and 6 a modification is shown wherein the wire is formed in complete
rings which are placed concentrically in a series.
For the purpose of securing together the spiral convolutions of a coil, or the
series of concentric rings, which constitute the packing, so that they may press
firmly against each other radial binding strips 9 are fitted into grooves formed
preferably in alternate sides of the packing as indicated in Figure 3.
The entire ring after the binders y have been applied is immersed in a bath of
molten tin, whereby the whole surface is tinned over, and the coils e are soldered
together as well as to the binders.
This packing ring is suitable for various purposes and is durable easily and
cheaply made and may be constructed of any desired size.
Having now particularly described and' ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the
same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is ;-
1. Metallic packing-rings made of wire and coiled concentrically or in spiral

An Improved Form of Union Coupling or Joint for Flexible Tubes.
I, FREDERICK GEORGE SMITH Engineer Picton House Newcastle-on-Tyne in
the County of Newcastle-on-Tyne do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
To facilitate the connecting & disconnecting of flexible tubes to or from flexible
or inflexible tubes, cocks, or vessels of any description, in place of the ordinary
means now used, I use two jaws or clamps J attached to & working in connection
with the lever L of a stop cock, or valve C so that in filling, or after a vessel has
been filled, the flexible tube with union, or coupling, attached may be instantly
attached or detached on the opening or closing of the cock or valve C by means of
the lever L. Before the connection is made the cock or valve C attached to the
flexible tube is closed & the act of forming the connection opens it for the passage
of air, water, gas or any other liquid.

having attached to the lever L two arms working on a ring covering the jaws or
clamp J, so that when a vessel is required to be filled, the lever L is moved
forward which opens the cock or valve C, for the passage of air, or gas etc., and at
the same time moves forward the ring by means of the arms attached to the
lever L, which closes the jaws or clamp J. & thereby making an attachment to the
vessel. When the attachment is made, the lever L is moved backwards which
closes the cock or valve C & at the same time sliding the ring (covering the jaws
or clamp J) backwards & releasing the jaws or clamp J from the connecting piece
on the vessel.
The drawing shews the cock in attached position.
The lever with the jaws or clamp attached, although shewn with a stop cock or
valve may be fitted with the jaws or clamp only if required.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spoon to be used for Eating with or for Taking
Physic.
We, ERNST LEHMANN, Doctor of Medicine, and BERNHARD VOGL, Merchant,.
both of 15 Charlottenstrasse Berlin, 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 an improved construction of spoon which is mainly
adapted for use by patients when taking physic. The spoon can, however, with
advantage, be used by healthy persons when taking food.
The annexed sheet of drawings show the spoon in plan view at Fig. 1 and in side
elevation at Fig. 2.
As will be seen from the drawings, the spoon has a projecting lip a at one side-
and a hollow b at the bottom.
When the spoon is used for taking physic it is not necessary to open the mouth
wide, as with the ordinary form of spoon, the lip a being merely inserted into the
mouth. As a consequence the liquid is less liable to be spilled.
A further advantage is that, whilst the spoon is of the same size as an ordinary
dinner spoon, it has a greater capacity owing to the hollow b. This hollow is
made of such size that when filled it just holds a quantity of liquid equal to that.
contained in an ordinary tea-spoon, so that "tea spoon full" doses can be readily
measured.
The edges of the spoon are turned over, as shown, so as to obviate the usual
sharp edges.
The spoon can also, as aforesaid, be used at meals.
The spoon can be made of any suitable material.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :—
A spoon made of any suitable material and having a hollow (b) in its bottom and
a lip (a) at one side, substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the
drawings annexed.
