COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Gas and Coke Furnace.
1, HERMANN SCHOMBURG, Manufacturer, of 97 Alt Moabit, Berlin, N.W.,
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 a combined gas and coke furnace which may either be
combined or not with the apparatus for regulating the air supply described in the
Specification of my prior application for Patent No. 9085, dated 13th May 1892,
and it consists of a gas retort constructed of masonry, or moulded, and provided
with an inclined grate, adapted to receive solid fuel (in lumps) behind which is
arranged a gas and coke generator.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1, is a part vertical section, and Fig. 2, a part horizontal section of a steam
boiler with the present invention applied thereto.
F, is the gas retort, or a retort-shaped furnace for solid fuel, in which the coal
or the like is spread on an inclined grate over which extends an arch of about
equal length. These parts being arranged at about the angle and distance apart
indicated in the drawings, the coal is freed from gas at the highest speed, and is in
part consumed on the spot, while the remaining part passes in the condition of coke
into the gas generator G arranged behind the grate, and which is of peculiar
construction, being widened in one part to twice the size of the grate or more, and
narrowed down to half or a quarter of its size at the discharge orifice, and provided
with a slag or under grate. Upon being here converted into oxide of carbon, it
burns without any smoke, at V- and D, with the assistance of a secondary supply
of air, and at an increased temperature, the maximum useful effect being
obtained.
The ends of the grates of both furnaces are immersed in a water tank provided
in the ash box, and as the water level rises or sinks, the grate-surfaces in operation
in accordance with the invention described in the Specification of my prior
application for Patent above referred to, are reduced or enlarged.
According to the nature of the fuel or the size of the furnace the grates in the.
retort or retort-shaped coal furnace may be mainly formed of fire-brick or iron;
or they may be entirely dispensed with. The grates situated in the rear chamber
constituting the generator may also be of any suitable shape and size.
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 improved furnace consisting of a gas retort in which solid fuel is first partly
consumed and then passes on to a second combustion chamber where the combustion
is completed, substantially as specified.

Improved Means or Appliance for Compressing Distended Ears.
I, ADALBERT THAMM of 3, Wittenberg Platz, Charlottenberg, Berlin W. 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide an apparatus by means of which the
unsightly drawback of distended ears-to which so many persons are subject-may
be remedied by forcing the ears by continued pressure into the position they are
intended by nature to occupy, in such a manner that they permanently retain such
position when the appliance is removed.
The invention will be fully described with reference to the accompanying
drawings in which
Fig. 1. is a section of my improved appliance
Fig. 2 a longitudinal elevation of same whilst Figs. 3 and 4 show a human head
before and whilst the appliance is in position.
As will be seen from the drawings the appliance consists of two plyers or
cramps a each of which is laid backwards over one ear whilst its bent hook-shaped
arm a' dips into the shell of the ear e. When both the cramps a are connected by
means of an elastic band 6 passing round the neck of the wearer, the distended
ears are constantly drawn towards the head owing to the pressure exerted by the
said band and retain such position after the appliance has been removed. The
appliance may remain in position for a more or less protracted period of time.
The rear portion a² of each cramp is bent or folded over so as to grasp the shell
of the ear, this bent-over portion being adjusted to press more or less tightly by,
means of the screw c. The cramps are further covered with a soft material so that
the wearer is not inconvenienced in the slightest degree.
This appliance has the advantage that it can be worn permanently and without
exciting observation. Moreover it differs materially from all other similar
appliances from the fact that the ear passages are not stopped up with thick
plugs or balls whilst the effect of the pressure of the elastic band is steady and
certain.
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 I
claim is :-
An appliance for laying back distended ears which consists of two cramps or
plyers a fitted with hook-shaped arms a¹ to fit into the shell of the ear and con-
nected together by a tight elastic band 6 whereby the ears are pressed against the
cerebellum by a gentle process of contraction substantially as described.

An Improved Apparatus for Handling Coins.
I, WILHELM SEGAL of 50 Augustrasse, Berlin 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 :-
The object of this invention is a stand with a board for delivering coins in which
the board is arranged to move in such a manner that the coins or pieces of money
drop in the open hands of the receiver of the same by merely exerting a slight
pressure on the board with the hand.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a view of the apparatus or counting board when at rest and
Figure 2 shows the same depressed for the purpose of taking up the coins.
The stand consists of the foot A and the counting board B. The latter consists
of three parts d e and the central part d of which has the form of a trapezoid
and is secured to the foot by a hinge. The two sides e and f are moveably con-
nected with the central part by hinges or otherwise in such a manner as to be
capable of being folded up at right angles to the central piece to form a gutter.
Below the counting board, two arins s are fixed to the foot A and hold up the two
side pieces e and when the board is turned on its hinge while causing them to
assume a position at right angles to the central part. This central part is held in
a horizontal position by a spring e located in the hollow foot A and is furnished
After
with a handle in front. The stand is used in the following manner.
counting up the money the receiver places his hand in the handle and depresses
the board with it whereupon the board assumes an inclined position while at the
same time the side pieces e fare pressed upwards by the arms ss so that the
whole apparatus assumes the position shown in Figure 2. The counting board
forms thus a slant gutter in a downward direction from which the coins can readily
and securely slide in the open hand below. By now releasing the handle the board
returns under the influence of the spiral spring e into its horizontal position. The
connection of the three parts of the counting board may be best effected by a
common covering of wash leather or baize which may even serve as a substitute
for the hinges between the several parts.
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:
A stand with moveable counting board in which the latter B consists of three
parts def connected by hinges forming in their normal position a flat surface which
is horizontal the two outer parts e thereof being raised, when the board turns
upon the hinge of the foot A by the arms ss fixed to the latter thus forming a
slant channel or gutter from which the assembled coins slide in the hand of the
receiver.

FANNIE FLORENCE RITCHIE of Glentoran Belfast Ireland Gentlewoman 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 novel construction of political puzzle, which serves to
illustrate how, by perseverance, the trouble now afflicting Ireland may be removed.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 shews in plan view the puzzle consisting of a box which takes the shape
of a two-headed drum and is fitted internally as will be presently described.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, partly in section, to shew the construction
of the drum.
The head a of the drum is made of glass to present to view the interior of the same.
The head is made of cardboard or equivalent resilient material, which will vibrate
on being tapped gently with the finger tips. Between the two heads a, b, is a
dividing disc c, also of cardboard, on which is depicted a map of Ireland, and beside
it a coffin, supposed to contain the Home Rule Bill ready for burial. Around the
edge of the coffin are holes for receiving a corresponding number of nails, repre-
senting, severally, the towns or counties which have declared against Home Rule.
The design of the puzzle is to insert, by persistent tapping on the drum head b, the
loose nails into the coffiu, and thus, figuratively, fasten down the Home Rule Bill
in its coffin, which object it is assumed can be effected by persistently beating the
Orangemen or Unionists' drum.
The loose nails, as they are still moving under the vibration of the drum head b,
will eventually find their way into, and fill, all the holes in the coffin lid. By
reversing the position of the drum, the nails will fall out, and the operation of
nailing down the coffin may be repeated.
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 construction of political puzzle as above described.

My invention relates to improvements in the method of and in apparatus for
rolling metal bars, rods, and other sections.
The object of my invention being to save time and labour, and so effect a saving
in the cost of such rolling.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of rolling mill constructed according to my
improvements.
Fig. 2 is an end elevation in section of rolls, through the line A, B, showing the
method of passing and repassing the metal through the rolls according to my

standards G. Pressure is put upon and taken off the said rolls by means of hand
wheels H and screws J which are fastened to the blocks K by nuts L; or holding
down screws may be used. N are gear wheels upon the shafts of the rolls for
driving same. The mill is driven by shaft O in the required manner.
The ingot or piece of metal to be rolled is first passed between the rolls C and D
and is afterward's repassed between the rolls D and E (see Fig. 2) so that by my
improvements the ingot or metal piece can be fed from either and both sides of the
mill, and so does away with the necessity of taking the metal back again to the side
from which it was first passed between the rolls before it can be passed between the
rolls again.
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. A method of rolling metal rods, bars, and other sections, in which the metal
to be rolled is first passed between an intermediate and an outside roll, from
one side of the machine, and is then repassed between the said intermediate and
another outside roll, from the opposite side of the machine, substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
2. An apparatus for rolling metal rods, bars, and other sections, having three or
other suitable number of rolls arranged one above the other, so that the metal to
be rolled is first passed between an intermediate and an outside roll from one side of
the machine, and is then repassed between the said or other intermediate and
another outside roll, from the opposite side of the machine, substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.

statement :-
My present invention relates to an improved electrical instrument and consists of
a combination cylinder, closed at both ends, and formed of a number of short
cylinders of zinc and other metals together with alternate cylinders of celluloid or
other insulating substance.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section view of my improved electrical urethral
vaginal and rectal vitalizer."
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section view of one of the cylinders.
Figure 3 is an end view of the same.
The improved instrument is composed of alternate cylinders of zinc and celluloid'
or other insulating substance, and silver, copper or other metal, so connected with
a fluid either acid, alkaline or neutral, on the inside of the combined cylinder, and
moisture of secretions from the mucus membranes of the body, on the outside of
said cylinder, as to form a series of electrical batteries, when introduced into a
mucus cavity, thus forming or producing a voltaic current of electricity at each
cell or battery.
Each of these batteries consists of three cylinders a negative element A, a
positive element B, separated by an insulator C.
The current passes over the cylinder of one element through the effected part to
the cylinder of the opposite element.
I contemplate making the instrument of any desired size so as to adapt it to the
parts to be treated.
The instrument may also be composed of as many cells as desired, and the
cylinders forming such walls may be connected in any desired manuer. As shown
they are slipped over the ends of each other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by
my foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
An electrical instrument for medical purposes composed of cylinders the
negative and positive elements separated by electrical non-conducting cylinders.

My invention relates to accordeons and has for its object to enable the keys to be
removed from the instrument and replaced with facility and quite independently of
one another. Heretofore the keys have been mounted on an axis common to the
whole of them and consisting of a wire or rod secured at each extremity to the
handle or frame and supported intermediately of the keys, so that in order to
remove one of the keys, which it is sometimes necessary to do for repairs, etc., it has
been necessary to disturb the whole of them, which it is the object of
to avoid.
my invention
My invention consists essentially in mounting each key independently in the
frame and will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, forming
part of this Specification, wherein
Figure 1 shews a section, on line 1-1, Figure 2, of the handle and top part of
the wind-chest and
Figure 2 is a plan, partly in section on line 2-2, Figure 1.
According to my invention, each key a is mounted by its ears a¹ on a pin b
mounted in a bracket b¹ which is secured within a recess d¹ of the handled by a
screw e passing through the back part of the handle into the base of the bracket.
fis the spring which is coiled around the pin a', its free end bearing against the
back of the key a while its other end is held between the base of the bracket b¹
and the handle, so as to press the valves against their seats in the ordinary manner..
It will be obvious that in order to remove one of the keys, without disturbing the
others, it is only necessary to remove screw e to enable the bracket and its key to
be taken out.
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 I
claim is :-
Mounting the keys of an accordeon each upon a separate bracket screwed to the
handle, substantially as shewn and described for the purpose specified.

New or Improved Process of Etching on Glass, Porcelain, and
the like.
I, JOHANNES RETZLAFF of 21 Ahornstreet, Steglitz n/Berlin in the Kingdom
of Prussia, German Empire, Sign-board 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 :-
In the usual method of etching upon glass surfaces, porcelain and other glazed
goods, the surface is provided with a layer of tinfoil which is affixed by means of a
paste, the drawing which is to be etched is then marked on this layer of foil and cut
out with a knife the parts of foil thus cut out are then removed and then the layer
of paste lying underneath washed off by means of turpentine, thereby leaving bare
places for the glass or porcelain surface for etching upon.
The purpose of the present invention is to substitute for the cutting out of the
pattern, which requires much time and skilled workmanship, a chemical process, by
means of which the pattern desired can be etched in actually shorter time in a
perfect manner and exactly following the lines of the design.
The new process consists in transferring the pattern or design desired to the
layer of tinfoil in grease colours, by means of printing, stencilling or other suitable.
manner. The tinfoil leaf is fixed to the glass surface by an adhesive asphalt
or similar substance; the printing of the tinfoil can be undertaken also after its
adhesion; the so prepared glass body is then placed in an acid which dissolves the
tinfoil. The asphalt layer, by means of which the foil was affixed being now freed,
is removed, thereby allowing the etching on the freed parts of the glass to be
proceeded with in the usual manner.
The design appears according to the herein described operation etched in relief
on a glass surface. Naturally a sunk etching can be produced in a similar
manner.
The etchings which are executed according to the new method are distinguished
by special sharpness of the contours and exact reproduction of the pattern; the
patterns printed or stencilled to the number required appear regular without the
slightest deviation so that the method is specially adapted for the production in
large quantities.
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 process of producing etchings upon glass, porcelain and
other glazed materials, consisting in affixing a layer of tinfoil by means of an
asphalt or other paste to the glass, then printing or stencilling a pattern in grease
colours on the tinfoil, dissolving the uncovered parts of the foil in acid, removing
the exposed layer of asphalt and then finally etching the now freed surface of the
glass in the usual manner.

The ships shewn in Figs. 5 and 6 of the drawing are not regarded as integral
parts of the apparatus. They are merely shewn to indicate that on a platform
sufficiently large, a miniature ship may be mounted and the same movement
imparted to the ship and the guns as would be given to a single gun mounted
thereon, and in addition to the art of gunnery, seamanship may thus be acquired.
By means of the described mechanism, such a motion may be produced on land for the
purpose referred to, as that which is naturally given by waves of the sea to ships,
that is, a rolling and pitching motion, the advantages derived from means of this
kind being such that by practising thereon, on land, by persous unacquainted with
the motion of a vessel at sea, they can get so accustomed to this motion as to be
able within a comparatively short time to acquire great skill and proficiency in the
various duties requisite on board ship and in the ready manipulation of guns
thereon, consequent on the said motion.

Improvements in Brakes suitable for Cycles.
I, GEORG HENRY SIEGMUND OSCAR MÖLLER of 78, Valentinscamp,
Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany, Mechanic, 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 certain improvements in brakes such as are required for
cycles fitted with pneumatic tyres, and has for its object, the construction of the
brake blocks in such a manner that the india rubber pneumatic tyres are not so
readily worn out by the friction of the brake block, and to so form the holder
that, the brake blocks are securely held therein and may be readily removed for
replacement.
In explaining my invention in detail, reference is made to the accompanying
drawings in which
Fig. 1 represents a section through a pneumatic tyre with my improved
brake block in contact therewith, and
Fig. 2 represents a view of the underside of the brake block and holder.
The brake block holder a is bent to the curvature of the pneumatic tyre C, and
is formed taper as shown by Fig. 2 for the reception of a felt brake block b which
is further secured in the said holder by the flanges a¹ a¹ turning inwards.
The holder a is suitably connected to a lever mounted in the ordinary manner
for applying pressure of the brake to the wheel tyre, the holder a being so placed
ou its support connected with the before mentioned lever that, by the forward
rotation of the wheel when in contact with the brake block c tends to move the said
block b in the direction of the arrow, further into the said holder.
By forming the brake block 6 of flexible material such as felt, an amount of
elasticity is obtained which allows the block 6 to more completely embed itself on
to the tyre C, thus increasing the frictional surface, and by being comparatively
soft, the tyre is not worn to such an extent as when blocks of the ordinary
construction are applied.
By forming the holders a in the manner described, brake blocks are easily
removed by driving the block towards the wide end of the holder, and another
readily replaced.
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. A curved brake block holder a having taper sides arranged with flanges a¹ a¹
for the reception of a brake block b which is held therein by the rotation of the
cycle wheel when mounted in the manner as hereinbefore described.
2. The combination of a holder a with a felt brake block b mounted substantially
in the manner and for the purpose as hereinbefore set forth.

Improvements in Butt Ended Spokes for the Wheels of Cycles.
I EDWIN LEADBEATER of Penistone Road Sheffield in the County of York
Steel 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 :—
My present invention relates to single butt ended spokes for direct wheels of
cycles.
Hitherto in single butt ended spokes it has been usual to form a thread on the
thin end of the spoke and screw it into a suitable headed nipple which fits into the
hole in the rim formed for the threaded butt end of the spoke to pass through,
which latter end is subsequently screwed into the hub; this method of forming
single butt ended spokes weakens then at the rim end considerably and is also
found an expensive mode of manufacture; the object therefore of my present
invention is to dispense with the thread on the end of the spoke so as to make it
stronger as well as cheaper to manufacture; to attain which I make and fit to the
cycle wheel my said improved spoke in the manner described with reference to the
accompanying drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a cross sectional elevation of a portion of a cycle wheel showing my
improved spoke fitted to the hub B and rim R of same. The spoke S is made with
the usual enlarged screwed portion or butt end S₁ and it is drawn straight from
said end to the required length at the reduced size, it has then a brass or other
metal ferrule or sleeve F fitted over it, after which a head S2 is formed. By this
means it will be obvious that the hole in the rim R which must necessarily be made
large enough for the butt end S to pass through is filled up by said ferrule or
sleeve F.
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. The combination with a direct butt spoke for cycle wheels of a ferrule or
sleeve F arranged so as to fill up the hole in the rim R of wheel made for the
screw or butt end S₁ to pass through substantially as described and illustrated and
for the purpose stated.

Improvements in Printing Decorative Designs on Fabrics.
We, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE BULFFER, and CHARLES THIÉBAUT BULffer,
both of 62 Solothurnerstrasse, Basle, Switzerland, Manufacturers, 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:-
When cotton and other fabrics are printed with decorative designs giving the
appearance of being hand painted, the colours employed are oil colours such as
painters use. This process is subject to the great inconvenience that successive
impressions of different colours cannot be made until those previously made are
quite dry, and this, when oil is employed, takes a long time.
Our invention relates to means of avoiding this difficulty by printing with colours
made up with gum, which shortly dry, and finally fixing the colours so printed by a
coating of oil which may be compounded with driers. We make up the colours to
be printed with water containing about 60 grammes of gum, preferably gum
tragacanth, to the litre, and we print with these on the fabric while it is stretched
flat on a suitable table on which it may be held by pasting, gluing or
otherwise.
After each colour is printed we allow it to dry before printing another over it.
In order to fix the colours and give them the solidity and lustre of oil colours, we
coat the printed fabric with poppy oil bleached or treated with manganese, or with
boiled linseed oil, which may be compounded or not with driers such as acetate of
lead. The oil coating is preferably applied by means of a felted roller. After it
is applied it is left to dry. The prints thus produced have the solidity of hand
paintings, and they are greatly to be preferred to the oil prints hitherto produced,
inasmuch as they do not shew on the back of the fabric and remain longer fresh.
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 :-
The herein described process for producing decorative designs on fabrics by
printing on them with gum colours and fixing these with a coating of oil.

Improvements in Playing Balls.
I, ARNOLD FLECK, Lieutenant in the German Army, Spandau in 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 :-
The subject of the present invention is a ball made of rubber, celluloid or other
suitable material, which, like an ordinary indian rubber ball is entirely closed, and
filled with air, but distinguished therefrom by its shape, making it especially
suitable for the so called "Driving or Party Ball" game.
In the drawing three slightly different shapes of the ball are shown in section in
all of which however the ball consists of a globe shaped part "A" and a smaller
part "B" forming a handle. In Fig. 1 the ball forms a nearly complete sphere
with a short small handle. The shape represented in Fig. 2 resembles a pear and
the spherical part "A" therein changes very gradually into the handle "B,"
whilst the third shape, Figure 3, is like a pestle.
These balls possess the great advantage that they can be conveniently grasped
by the handle and thrown very high and far, so that they can be used instead of
the leather balls provided with a handle hitherto employed in the driving ball game
but are preferable thereto on account of their light weight and great elasticity.
These properties make it possible for ladies to take part for the future in the
driving ball game, as they need not fear receiving hurts such as take place with
the heavy and inelastic leather balls, and the hollow balls are not by far so
fatiguing and tiring to throw.
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 :
A ball made of rubber, celluloid or other suitable material, enclosed all round
and filled with air, the spherical head of which ends abruptly or gradually in a
thin extended part serving as a handle, for the purpose specified.

Improvements in Tubulous Boilers.
I, ALFRED FERNANDEZ YARROW of Isle of Dogs, Poplar, in the County of
Middlesex, 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 construction of tubulous boilers in such a manner as
to provide extensive heating surface in compact form, and to ensure ample circula-
tion of the water.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a transverse section showing one form of
boiler according to my invention, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 3 is a
sectional plan of one of the tubes. These tubes A are arranged obliquely on each
side of the fire B, so that the flame and products of combustion pass on each side
between them and within a casing D up to a chimney C. Each tube A opens at
it upper
end into the water and steam chamber E, and it is closed at its lower end
which projects through and a little beyond the casing D. Within the tube is a
partition which does not extend quite to the lower end of the tube, but separates
the down flowing current of water from the upflowing current. The ends of the
tubes may be closed by plugs, and, instead of the partition F, an internal tube may
be employed, the current flowing down this tube and flowing up the annular space
around it, but I make no claim to a boiler of the form above described.
Instead of employing tubes closed at their lower ends as above described, I use
tubes open at both ends to connect water chambers below with steam and water
chambers above as shewn by the transverse section Fig. 4. The tubes C are shewn
on the right side jointed in a plate H which is stayed to an upper plate K having
plugged holes L over the tubes. On the left side the tubes Care shewn extended
through the plate H into the plate K, being expanded into both plates and plugged
at their upper ends. There is free passage for water into and out of the tubes by
openings M cut in the sides of the tubes between the two plates H and K, to which
the tubes serve as stays.
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 :
A tubulous boiler having upper water and steam chambers connected with

page_text: lower water chambers by inclined tubes on each side of a central fire, the upper
ends of the tubes being jointed into or through inclined tube plates, substantially
as described with reference to Fig. 4.
