Figure 4 is a sectional view of an inlaid noor.
In Figure 3 the floor is laid directly upon asphalte, concrete, or other similar
suitable material, or upon flat brickwork, while that illustrated in Figure 4 is laid
upon an arch or a vault.
In Figure 5 the floor is shewn supported upon a wooden bed or upon beams and
in Figure 6 it is illustrated as supported by iron girders.
Any of the usual woods may be employed in the construction of the improved
flooring, but beech is preferred. In all cases the wood is subjected to a pre-
paratory treatment by means of which the protein is extracted without destroying
the fibre of the wood.
Referring to the drawings, a a are the framing timbers, to the end ones of which
the moulded skirting boards bare secured in such a manner as to cover the space
between the frame timbers and the wall. Openings cc, are formed in the skirting
boards so as to provide for the ventilation of the space below the flooring boards.
The panels or boards d are laid between the frame timbers a, and are secured by
tongues or projections on the lower parts of the ends of the boards which fit into
corresponding grooves formed in the edges of the frame timbers a. By this
disposition and arrangement, the boards are capable of moving or being moved
towards and away from each other. A suitable space, covered by the perforated
moulded skirting is left between the edges of the outside panels or boards and the
wall for the purpose of ventilation.
If the points of support of the frame timbers a should be far apart, it may be
necessary to guard against sinking of the floor by the provision of a support or
trestle e, as indicated by Figure 3. These supports are arranged at equal distances
between the frame timbers a.
A floor constructed according to this invention may be laid directly upon a
suitable foundation without the necessity for a prepared bed or packing. If it be
not laid upon a bed or upon girders, it is embraced by a frame which holds it
together, the frame timbers being laid on suitable bolsters f
By the use of this improved floor, even in a house which is not yet dry, the
growth of dry rot is prevented owing to the complete ventilation, and expansion and
contraction is permitted without any risk of bursting bending or breaking.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,―
1. In a boarded floor the combination of the free sliding panels or boards d the
frame timbers a and the ventilated skirting boards b all constructed and arranged as
and for the purpose hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
2. A boarded floor constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose

A Novel Treatment of Beers to adapt them for Transport and for
Preservation Purposes.
I, ERICH KORN Dr. Phil. of 22 Hallesche Strasse, Berlin, Germany, 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 :-
The object of this invention is a new or improved treatment of beers by the
employment of a liquor containing sulphate of soda, chloride of sodium, and
bicarbonate of soda.
According to this invention, I purpose employing water containing
from 70 to 250 grammes of sulphate of soda
دو
30 to 150 grammes of chloride of sodium
and 40 to 150 grammes of bicarbonate of soda
"
per hectolitre of water, but the relative proportions of the salts may depend upon
the taste which it is required to impart to the beers.
As regards the degree of taste, hitherto the example given has been found the
most practical, but it may be mentioned that the taste of the beer will be more
bitter if the quantity of the sulphate of sodium be augmented.
The addition of the above to the beer acts very energetically in generating yeast,
but the fermentation of the beer wort prepared according to this process is effected
more slowly than usual, and in consequence thereof more uniformly, while the
powerful yeast produced renders it more thorough than by the processes hitherto
used and causes a considerable increase in the soundness of the products, which
products are not deteriorated by agitation during transport, nor affected by a sea
voyage.
The following is an example of the brewing process which has been found
the best.
I mash the ingredients in the following proportions:
Ims tu 15
in such a manner that out of
100000 parts there are left
139
"
of sulphate of soda
63
of chloride of sodium
دو
10.7
"
of sulphate of potassium.
As neither during fermentation nor when stored is the composition of the salts
weed much affected they retain for a long time their specific action.

page_text: 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-
-:
Treating beers with a strong saline water to produce a powerfully acting yeast,
and consisting in using water containing ;
from 70 to 250 grammes of sulphate of soda

"
30 to 150 grammes of chloride of sodium
40 to 150 grammes of bicarbonate of soda
per hectolitre of water, the relative proportions of the salts varying according to
the taste which has to be imparted to the beer.

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 has for its object an apparatus with suction pump for raising
or drawing off liquids, which has a side piece carrying a nozzle with tap after the
closing of which the pump acts as a syphon.
In order that my invention may be the better understood I now proceed to
describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawing and to the letters.
and figures marked thereon.
The apparatus acts as follow :-
:―
In the tube P of the pump moves the piston k which by means of the piston
rods with the handle raises the liquid through suction by means of the lifting
of the ball valve v. After the piston k has obtained its highest position so that
the liquid is raised sufficiently to escape through the piper, the tap a of the
nozzle d, which has been open, is closed, and an uninterrupted efflux of the liquid
will take place through the tube
with tap without further pumping by
syphonage.

Improved Means for Making-up Hooks and Eyes and other
Smallwares for Sale.
I, Alfred NicHOLLS of 9 Bread Street, High Street, Manchester in the
County of Lancaster 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 :-
This invention relates to the means of making-up for exhibition and sale hooks
and eyes, buttons, pins, pens, and other smallwares such as are usually sewn onto
cards in rows and sold by the dozen or by the row or rows, the principal object of
the invention being to enable one or more rows to be detached and sold without in
any way interfering with the security of the remainder.
In making-up hooks and eyes and such other small wares it is usual to sew them
with thread onto cards in rows each row coutaining (say) half a dozen, or a dozen,
the thread being continued from one row to the next from one end of the card to
the other, and the result has been that when one or more rows are cut off for sale
this thread becomes severed and the consequence is that the fastening of the row
severed and the next succeeding row becomes set free and some of the hooks
and eyes or other articles are liable to come off which is a frequent occasion of loss
and annoyance. My invention is intended to remedy this defect.
.
According to my invention I arrange the card so that the hooks and eyes or
other articles can be sewn on in rows of half a dozen or a dozen as usual, and
between each two rows I perforate the card in a line from one side to the other so
that one two or more rows can readily be detached without cutting.
And I sew
each row separately by itself fastening off the thread at the end of the row and
commencing each row afresh so that if one or more rows are detached by tearing
across the perforations neither the fastening of the row or rows of hooks and eyes
or other articles detached will become loosened, nor yet that of the adjacent row
left on the card.
It will be evident that by making-up the hooks and eyes or other small wares in
this improved manner a great deal of annoyance and loss will be saved both to the
retail trader and also to the consumer.
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 means for making-up hooks and eyes and other smallwares for
sale consisting in sewing each row separately by itself onto a card which is
perforated in a line from one side to the other between each two rows, fastening
off the thread securely at the end of each row, so that one or more rows can
be readily torn off without loosening the articles upon the row or rows detached,
nor yet those upon the adjacent row.

I, RICHARD HAMEL WEDEKIND of Ferndale, Shortlands, in the County of
Kent, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
It has before been proposed to employ for these purposes a variety of mixtures
of gums, oils, resins &c. but none of these have been entirely satisfactory being
either too soft or else too brittle.
According to this invention I employ in substitution either partial or entire for
other gums a gum known by the names of potato gum, potato gutta percha, or
Kolqual. This gum when mixed with the usual materials forms an exceedingly
hard and yet tenacious compound.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Corset and Dress Body Stiffeners.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Corset and Dress Body
Stiffeners.
I, JOSEPH WOLFF of Burgmauer 33, Cologne on the Rhine, in the Empire of
Germany, 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 improvements in the manufacture of corset and dress
body stiffeners of so called "horn-fish" bone, or metal, by which the same compare
favourably with those of real whalebone in durability and flexibility.
The invention consists in the fillets of horn-fish bone or metal being pointed or
tapered at both ends and subsequently provided with a laced (or braided) casing.
The casing formed by braiding or lacing as aforesaid bends exactly to the form of
the fillets, and at the tapered ends also it lies close to them and closes these ends
firmly round. In consequence of this tapering of the fillets and casing at the
ends the rods cannot become shifted in the casing, and in consequence of the close
adherence of the said casing, the firmness of the fillets is so great that they may
be bent to a more than ordinary degree without breaking. Especially do the
fillets of horn fish bone when tapered at the ends and covered by being laced
round or braided as previously mentioned maintain a durability which even rivals
that of the real whalebone.
In the accompanying drawing such a fillet is shewn at Fig. 1.
a horizontal section through the fillet; a is the fillet, its covering.
make the latter fast upon the tapering ends of the fillets, these
provided with serrations or notches as shewn in Figs. 3, 4, and 5.

In order to
ends may be
The greater the tension of the threads made by the braiding machine in the
formation of the cover, the more firmly adherent will be the said covering of the
rods, and the greater the resistance of the same against breaking. The casing
may be of cotton, wool, silk, fine spun thread, tussore, or any kind of textile
material, and may be made in any colour. This invention provides the further
advantage that the fillets do not require further covering before being used, such
as being placed for instance in a hollow seam or envelope, but may be sewn
directly upon the material to which they are to be applied.
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 of corset and dress body stiffeners of horn-fish bone or metal,
in such manner that the fillets are tapered at both ends and throughout their whole
length are encased by a braided covering which is also drawn or formed firmly over
the fillets at their tapered ends, so that a shifting of the position of the fillet
inside the covering is impossible, and the resistance of the same against breakage
is increased, all substantially as herein shewn and described.
