An Improved Soap.
JOHN KENNEDY of 18 Woodhouse Grove, Preston, in. the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved soap which by the use of milk as herein-
after described possesses special emollient propities, and can be used for toilet, and
household purposes, and can be produced at a cheaper rate than heretofore.
According to this invention I employ the following ingredients in or about
the proportions hereinafter set out, and preferably mixed in the manner
described.
One hundred parts of milk heated by open or dry steam to a temperature of
from 110° to 130° Fahrenheit. I then add to the milk about five per cent. of
carbonate of potash, or carbonate of soda, or a mixture of these. Sufficient borax
is then added to dissolve up the potash, or alkali.
About twenty five per cent. of the above mixture is added to the soap after the
latter is cast from the pan, the combined mixture and soap being of equal
temperature of about 110° to 130° Fahrenheit.
The mixture may be added to hard soap; soft soap; or soap powder.

An Improved Tea or Beverage.
We, EDGAR THEOPHILUS BRETT, and WALLACE VICTOR BRETT, both of
19 King Street, Maidstone, in the County of Kent, Grocers, 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 an improved tea or beverage, which consists of the
young leaves of the "dandelion dried by a special process and blended or
amalgamated with the finest grown teas.
The leaves of the "dandelion "if preferable may be cut up or dried whole, or
the dried leaves may be ground into a powder, and then amalgamated with tea in
any suitable proportion.
The special process is carried out by first obtaining the young leaves of the
"dandelion" and carefully wash and dry the same in the open air. The leaves
are then placed in paper bags so as not to burn when placed in an oven baked
therein until the greenness has disappeared, they are removed from the bags into
open trays in the oven and kept well turned over so as not to burn until they
become perfectly black, the leaves are then removed from the oven being now
ready for use.
The proportions in which the ingredients are mixed are as follows:-To
111 pounds of Ceylon tea and 1 pound of young Hyson tea we mix 1½ pounds
of "dandelion" dried leaves.
It takes from 25 pounds to 30 pounds of "dandelion" leaves in their natural
state to make 1½ pounds of dried leaves according to the special process herein-
before described.
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. In a tea or beverage, the combination of the young leaves of the "dande-
lion" dried and blended or amalgamated with the finest grown teas, substantially
as herein described.
2. The combination of the "dandelion" leaves cut up or dried whole, or the
dried leaves ground into a powder and tea, amalgamated in any suitable proportion,
substantially as herein described.

Improvements in Means for Preventing Rats Getting into Grain
Stacks.
I, HARRY HERBERT FLETCHER, of Charnley Street, Blackpool, in the County
of Lancaster, Tile 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in means for preventing rats getting into
grain stacks and consists in carrying the staging or platform upon which such
stacks are built upon pillars or props consisting of inverted truncated cones which
may be made of earthenware pottery glass or other like material but which I
preferably make of encaustic tile ware as affording a suitable medium to receive a
high polish or glaze on its outer surface the polished or hard slippery surface of
the improved props or pillars forming a principal feature of my invention as
constituting an effectual barrier to the climbing of rats. Moreover the inverted
conical shape of the improved props or pillars offers a further difficulty to the
climbing proclivities of these vermin.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a plan view and
Fig. 3 a cross section of a staging or platform carried upon props or pillars in
accordance with my said invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of one of the truncated cones and part of the platform
drawn to a larger scale.
a represents the improved props or pillars in the form of inverted truncated
cones; the ordinary staging or platform; c a layer or foundation of concrete
upon which I preferably place the truncated cones; and d concrete with which I
preferably fill the hollow part of the cones (when a concrete bed is not employed)
to prevent the rats finding their way up through the inside of the cones.
I do not confine myself to the exact shape or relative dimensions of the several
parts of the truncated cones although I find that or those shewn in the drawings
to answer the required purpose. They may for instance be more or less tapered;
or even plain cylindrical props, if having a highly polished surface, might answer
the purpose. But I prefer the inverted truncated cone form as hereinabove described
and shewn in the drawings.
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. Supporting or carrying the staging or platform of a grain stack on props or
pillars having a highly polished or smooth outer suface substantially as hereinabove
described for the purpose set forth.
2. The use or employment of inverted truncated cones having a highly polished
or smooth outer surface to support the staging or platform of a grain stack
substantially as hereinabove described and shown in the drawings for the purpose
set forth.

A New or Improved Spring Coupling for Ropes.
We, OTTO ELSTER, Engine Smith, and ROBERT LERCHE, Manufacturer, both
of Bodenbach, Bohemia, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, 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 spring coupling device intended specially for use with.
the hawsers or tow ropes of ships and other vessels.
As at present carried out, the act of towing is attended by danger of breaking
the hawsers or the engines of the towing vessel consequent upon the shocks trans--
mitted along the rope or chain when the tug starts or as the vessels are thrown
about by the waves. By the use of the spring coupling constructed as hereinafter
described, and which may be arranged at either end of the hawser or tow rope or
be inserted at any point in its length, these shocks or jerks are greatly mitigated.
or altogether absorbed.
In the accompanying drawings where two forms of the coupling are illustrated,.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the device furnished with two springs;
Figure 2 represents a view of a modified form having only one spring; and
Figure 3 illustrates one of the end plates of the apparatus.
Referring to the drawings it will be seen that the frame of the coupling consists.
of two plates
a a held together by bolts or rods b. Central holes are formed in the
end plates, through which, in the form illustrated by Figure 1, two bolts c are
passed. Volute springs k are passed over the bolts c and are secured in place by
keys or cottars which pass through the inner ends d of the bolts, and washers e..
The outer ends of these draw bolts carry couplings eyes or rings h by means of
which the connection may be made.
In the modification illustrated by Figure 2 only one draw bolt and spring is.
employed the coupling eye at the other end of the apparatus being attached directly
to one of the end plates.
It is preferred that couplings be employed with a strength of spring proportional
to the weight of the vessel to be towed, so that the springs are not compressed at
normal draught but only come into operation when jerked or pulled suddenly.
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 spring coupling device for towing and similar purposes constructed and
arranged substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accom-
panying drawings.

Improvements in Guard Shoes for Railway Vehicles.
I, SUSIE SIMMONS, of Vogue House, St. Day, Scorrier, in the County of
Cornwall, do hereby declare the nature of this invention-a communication to me
by my husband Henry Latimer Simmons, at present residing at Helena Montana,
U.S.A.-and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
:
This invention for improvements in guard shoes for railway vehicles has for its
object to prevent railway vehicles from jumping or running off the line and consists
essentially in fitting the railway vehicle with guard shoes having their acting
surfaces parallel and close to the rail below its face but high enough to avoid
coming in contact with the sleepers or other fixtures belonging to railroads.
In the accompanying two sheets of illustrative drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan of a vehicle frame fitted with guard shoes and standing on
rails, and
Figure 2. is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of a guard shoe and
Figures 4 and 5 are end and side elevations respectively showing a slightly
modified shoe to that shown in Fig. 3.
C
The shoes a slide vertically in guides secured to longitudinal bars c fixed on the
vehicle axles d. The shoes are attached to springs e secured to the bars c so that
when the shoe meets an obstruction on the line or a crossing it automatically rises
and again descends when the obstruction is passed. In the modified arrangement
shown in Figures 4 and 5 the guides are dispensed with, the springs e being
accordingly modified. Where circumstances permit such as in single lines where
there are no fixtures for the shoes to pass, the springs are dispensed with and the
shoes rigidly attached to the longitudinal bars c. Should the vehicle tend to leave
the line the shoes on one side of the vehicle will bear against the side of the
rail and again bring it to its normal position on the rails.
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 the longitudinal bars carried by the axles, of the rail
guard shoes provided with central stems connected to the said bars and depending
from them, substantially as set forth.
2. The combination, with a longitudinal bar carried by the axles, of a rail
guard shoe provided with a central stem, and a spring connecting the said stem
with the said bar, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with the stationary tube e carried by the car and provided
with a guide at its lower end, of a rail guard shoe provided with a central stem
sliding in the said guide, and a spring inclosed within the said tube and adapted
to support the said shoe and permit it to rise, substantially as set forth.

Improvements in Suspenders for Garments.
I, CARL GUSTAV MEYER, of Frohnau-Annaberg, Saxony, 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, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and
to the figures and letters marked thereon:-
The object of the present invention is an improved suspender for all kinds of
garments, especially for trousers, which suspender is extremely flexible and is
nevertheless tightly fastened on.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a plan of the two ends of the suspender, one end being without its
button,
Figure 2 shows the suspender applied to a garment,
Fi
Figure 3 is an edge view partly in section of Figure 1, and
Figure 4 represents a modification.
A button foot, or base, plate a, is extended sideways to form a holding plate b,
which receives and holds one end of the suspender c. The foot or base plate a
has a conical hollow extension d, which forms the shank of the button and is made
to enter into the hollow button e, the open neck of which is burred inside to form a
collar encircling the shank d. Each end of the suspender c is provided with a
similar button. In order to fasten the suspender c to a garment, a suitable hole is
made for the shank d to pass through; the shank d is then inserted in said hole,
after which the button is put over it, and the part of the shank d extending
inside the hollow button e is burred over or rivetted by the aid of a centre punch.
The fastening is thereby rendered unalterable and strong.
A modification is also shown in the drawing at Figure 4. In this case the side
extension plates are not made rigidly in one with the foot or base plate a, but are
formed with a collar or washer fitting round the shank of the button, and are in
this case supported by the foot or base plate a.
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 suspender for garments consisting of a holding plate to receive and hold the
suspender c and a button foot or base plate a, to which the holding plate b is
connected, and which is connected with the button e by means of a shank & inserted
therein, substantially as herein shown and described.

Improvements in Furnace and other such Bars.
I SARAH BAUGH of Foundry Lane Wellington in the County of Salop
administratrix of Timothy Bangh late of Foundry Lane Wellington aforesaid do
hereby declare the nature of the said invention of Timothy Baugh and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The invention has for its object improvements in furnace and other such bars by
which they are formed so that free combustion takes place over the whole surface
of the bar and this without detracting from their durability or materially
increasing their cost.
In order that the invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings upon
which I have fully illustrated the nature of the said improvements.
Figure 1 is a plan of one of the bars broken through the centre.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of same.
Figure 3 is a perspective. view of part of same.
Figure 4 is a section on the line 1-2.
Figure 5 is an end elevation of the bar.
In carrying the invention into effect I cast the web A stretching from one end a
of the bar to the other a² and upon this web the body B of the bar is formed being
divided up by the diagonal slots into the blocks the sides of the blocks being
inclined under at 3 thus forming an inverted hopper by which means an ample
quantity of air passes up through the bars and assists the combustion and the
consequent consuming of the smoke. The diagonal apertures & may run obliquely
in the reverse direction or they may be square blocks with the apertures running
transversely but I prefer the cuts or slots to run obliquely as by that means the
maximum air surface with the fuel is obtained. The bars may be formed to snit
various shaped furnaces and would be set in the manner of ordinary bars. The
web A has the inclined top a³ so as to prevent the ashes from accumulating.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion & in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
claim is :-
The improvements in furnace and other such bars consisting of the slots in
the bar B substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the
accompanying drawing.

An Improved Upright Boiler.
I, ANTON FRIEDRICH SEEBECK, of Geestemünde, in the German Empire,
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 :-
This invention relates to steam generators of the upright type and having an
internal fire-box and combustion-chamber; my improved mode of construction
being devised to afford large heating surface and facilities for cleansing and
repairs; rapid and complete circulation of the water, economy in working and
compactness, being at the same time secured.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of my improved upright tubular boiler; Fig. 2 being
a horizontal section on the line - (Fig. 1).
In the lower part of the structure is the furnace-door A, which opens into the
fire-box B. The latter is provided with fire-bars D on which the fuel is placed.
The hot gases from the furnace impinge against the inner surfaces E and F of the
fire-box, and then pass up through the flue a into a combustion-chamber C, in
which are placed the water-tubes G. These tubes are not arranged vertically, but
at a slight inclination. The sides H, J and K of the combustion-chamber C, are
in direct contact with the water in the boiler and are also exposed to the hot gases,
large heating and evaporating surface being thereby obtained. Owing to the fact
that the bodies of water behind the different heating surfaces have only a small
volume, the heating is rapid, and the circulation correspondingly energetic. The
products of combustion finally escape by way of the flue L. Suitably-arranged
man-holes M, N and O allow of easy access to the interior of the boiler, so that its
various parts can be cleaned in an efficacious manner without necessarily removing
the water-tubes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 claim :-
The improved construction of upright boiler, substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings, and having an internal fire-box B and
combustion-chamber C, the latter traversed by inclined water-tubes G extending
from the lower to the upper water spaces, the return circulation taking place by
way of the annular space surrounding the combustion-chamber.

A New or Improved Device for Curative Purposes to be Applied to
the Ears.
I, EDWARD OWEN of 4 Acuba Villas Old Road Gravesend Watchmaker 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 small device for curative or medical purposes in the
form of earrings. These earrings are each formed of a wire of silver or other
suitable metal, bent so that its ends approach each other. On each end is situated
a small metal box, the face of one being of zinc or other metal which can be used
as a positive element in a cell, and the other of silver, platinum, copper or other
substance serving as a negative element. Inside each box is situated a number of
plates of these metals placed alternately, as in the ordinary voltaic cell, and a
suitable substance such as salammoniac with a little oil is placed along with them.
The two boxes grip the lobes of the ear by means of the spring, when the earring
is used, one metal meeting the outside of the lobe and the other the inside, the ear
completing the circuit and causing a small current of electricity to pass through
generated by the two cells in the boxes. This stimulates the nerves passing through
the ear and acts as a curative agent and also as a preventative in nervous disorders
of the head, such as headache, neuralgia or aural affections.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings which are enlarged views of
the device.
Figure 1 shows the device in its ordinary position and
Figure 2 extended ready for applying to the ear.
1 is the wire bent as shown with a small ring 2 holding the bent portions together.
3, 3 are the boxes containing the small cells 4 formed as above described.
In placing the device on the ear, the lower part beneath the ring 2 is pressed
opening the upper part as in Fig. 2.
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) An electrical device for medical or curative purposes applied to the ear con-
sisting of two boxes of different metals containing small cells and a spring to which
they are fastened substantially as described and for the purposes specified.
(2) An electrical device for medical purposes applied to the car consisting of
two boxes 3 of different metals containing small cells 4 and a spring 1 with ring 2
all substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

Improvements in Holders for Lamp Globes and Glasses.
1, WILLIAM FOLEY, of 1 Holland Grove Brixton London, S.W., 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 :—
This invention relates to an improved adjustable holder for lamp globes and
glasses, and has for its object to provide a simple and effective device which can
readily fix the globe in position.
centre.
In carrying out my invention, I provide on one of the arms of the holder the
usual sliding piece which grips the glass between it and the upwardly projecting
end of the arm.
The arm is stamped with two perforations, each extending for
the greater part of the length of the arm, leaving a narrow strip or rod at the
The outer side of one or both perforations is formed with a number of
small teeth, the top and bottom set alternating in position, if two sets are used.
A small tube or barrel is mounted on the central strip or rod and is connected
loosely with the sliding piece above mentioned, so that it will move it back and
forward as it moves on the rod, but is free to turn. This barrel is furnished with
a coarse screw thread corresponding in size to the teeth above mentioned, so that
the latter enter the grooves. By this means when the barrel is turned it will move
backwards or forwards carrying with it the sliding piece and causing the latter to
grip the glass, when pushed forward, between it and the arm.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing, which represents in side elevation the arm of a holder
provided with my improved device.
A is the arm having the two perforations B separated by the central rod or
strip C, on which the barrel D is placed. At the top of the upper perforation
and at the bottom of the lower perforation are provided a number of teeth E,
which take into the spiral groove on the barrel D. The edges of the screw are
roughened in order to afford a grip for the fingers. The sliding piece F. is
connected loosely to the barrel D in any suitable manner.
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 holder for lamp globes and the like, an arm having two perforations with
central strip or rod, carrying a tube or barrel, connected loosely to a sliding arm
and having an external screw, the outer side of one or both perforations being
furnished with teeth taking into the groove on the barrel, the whole constructed
and operating substantially as described and for the purpose specified.

I, DUNCAN CAMPBELL, of St. Vincent Street, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, North
Britain, Wholesale Stationer, 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 an improvement in diaries or memoranda tablets.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings in the several
figures of which corresponding parts are marked with the same letters of
reference.
Figure 1 is a front elevation showing my improved diary.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the arrangement for carrying the leaflets.
Figure 3 is a broken view showing the diary in position when in the act of
preserving a filled sheet.
A is a card of pasteboard, or other suitable material, to which there is attached
by means of eyes a a, or other convenient manner, a rod B of brass or other
suitable material. This rod B has its two ends and b¹ bent in an upward
direction and turned over to form sort of catches or hooks cc'. Connected to
these ends bb' by means of the hooks cc there is another rod C, having its
ends d d' also bent in an upward direction, and again bent round to form a kind of
ring D for suspending the diary as shown on the drawings. The sheets of paper
constituting the diary are stitched to the rod C. When one sheet has been filled
up, the diary is taken off its catch, and the rod C having the sheets attached to it
is lowered, and it being connected to the ends bb' of the rod C, also lowers these
ends until they are standing almost straight out from the card A, as shown in
Figure 3, and it (the filled sheet) is passed over the back and thus is preserved for
future reference.
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 diary or memoranda tablet constructed substantially as described and shown.

Improvements in Stays or Corsets.
I JOHN LANG of No. 4 Beak Street Regent Street London W. Tailor 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 improvements in stays or corsets which are more
particularly designed for stout people as an abdominal support, and has for its
object to combine a perfect fit with ease elegance, and comfort, while at the same
time improving the figure by affording efficient support without undue pressure
where it is mostly needed.
In carrying my invention into practice I form my improved stays with a number
of horizontal pieces stitched together and provided with steels and busks secured
thereto in the ordinary manner.
In Sheet 1 of the accompanying drawings
improved stays or corsets fitted to a figure.
shewn separately.
Figure 1 shows a front view of my
Figure 2 is a rear view of the same
Sheet 2 shews the seven pieces (or patterns) of which each stay is composed-
1. 2 3 4 and 7 representing the front ends of those pieces which extend from the
busks to the back bones jj', while 5 and 6 are short front pieces-a. b. cde are
the rear ends of the former pieces (or patterns) which are furnished with eyelets e¹
and attached to the back bonej j¹.
The pieces 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. have the shape clearly shewn in Sheet 2 of the
drawings, their front ends being secured to the busks while the rear ends a. b. cde
of five of the pieces 1. 234 and 7 are fixed to the back bones j. j and being
provided with eyelets e as above stated allow of two stays or sets of five pieces
to be laced in the ordinary manner as shewn in Fig. 2. Sheet 1. The two pieces 5
and 6 are placed in front being located between the long pieces 4 and 7 so as to
form the front curvature of the stays which supports the abdomen, the ends e and d
of the pieces 7 and 4 forming the curvature for the rear sides.
The arrangement of the pieces 1. 2. 3. 4 and 7 in horizontal layers will be
conducive to much ease and comfort as the fleshy parts will thereby receive proper
support and at the same time be allowed free play without causing an uncomfort-
able amount of constriction. All the seven pieces are stitched together, and when
the stays are thus completed rows of steel, whalebone or the like S. S. are fixed
thereto in the ordinary manner.
Having now fully 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 stays or corsets formed of a number of horizontal pieces secured
and shaped substantially as herein described and shewn.
