COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Fumigant for Use in Horticultural Buildings.
I, THOMAS SMITHSON, of 13, Salisbury Road, Bristol, Manufacturer, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to the manufacture of a new or improved fumigant for the
destruction of parasitic insects which infest plants and flowers, such as green fly,
thripp, red spider, and the like; and has for its object to provide such a fumigant
as will be effective in its operation, and yet may be used without injury to the most
delicate plants.
This invention is an improvement on my former Specification, for which Letters
Patent were granted, No. 10,150, dated 1st July 1890, and consists in the omission
of some of the materials there mentioned, which are found to be unnecessary, and
the addition of others, some of which make the compound more effective as an
insecticide, while the remainder are used to comply with the requirements of the
Inland Revenue Authorities, to prevent the tobacco waste being used for ordinary
smoking purposes: the whole of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed while dry,
and then made into a paste, by this means every portion of the fumigant will be of
the same strength and quality, and gardeners will be able to, use the exact quality
necessary to fumigate their houses.
In carrying my invention into effect, I make tobacco waste the basis of my
compound, adding thereto cayenne pepper, hellebore, asafoetida, lampblack, sago
flour and saltpetre in suitable proportions; and I find the following formula will
produce the best results:- Tobacco waste, 50 parts; cayenne pepper, 3;
hellebore, 6; asafoetida, 3; lampblack, 1; sago flour, 5; and saltpetre, 9 parts;
the whole of these are ground very finely, and then mixed by sifting or other
suitable means; a sufficient quantity of water is added to make it into a thick
paste, when it is either rolled and cut into shapes, or moulded into biscuits of
convenient size and shape, and then dried in an oven or kiln, when they will be
ready for use.
The biscuits being made as described, are sent out to nurserymen and the public
in packets, with directions stating the quantity necessary for houses of various sizes,
and as the compound is uniform, a conservatory can be fumigated therewith
without risk of injury to the most delicate plants.
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 fumigant from tobacco waste and the various
vegetable and other matters herein mentioned, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth and described.

Improvements in Pneumatic Tyres.
GEORGE CHARLES Topp, of Brandon Lodge, Wood Green London N. Civil
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The air tube is enclosed in a cover to prevent undue expansion. Outside of
this cover, I place a metal tyre, which is made flat, or nearly so; and sides turned
up to enclose the pneumatic tube: these sides are fluted, or corrugated; and
may be radially slit, forming a puncture proof & light protection for the pneumatic
tube; while adding to the resiliency and being cheaper to make. The face of the
metal tyre may be shod with rubber or any other suitable substance if desired.

A Celluloid Ring for Marking or Labelling Birds.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Celluloid Ring for Marking or Labelling Birds.
I, WALTHER KUWERT of Adl. Altenfelde near Tapiau, East Prussia, Farmer,
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 which relates to a celluloid ring to be used for marking or
labelling birds, is more particularly adapted for use in large aviaries and other
places where birds are reared and kept and also for marking carrier pigeons. It
may be used for marking pheasants in pheasant breeding establishments.
The devices which have heretofore been used for this purpose are made of
metal and are attached to the feet of the birds by means of a clip. They have
the defects that not only do the sharp edges injure the feet of the bird but in
winter the cold metal causes them to freeze.
My invention entirely overcomes these defects.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings, whereon,
Fig. 1 shows, in side view, the new ring closed.
Fig. 2 shows it open.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the ring when opened.
o
The device consists of a celluloid strip a of any suitable width and thickness
which is curved into a ring shape. The terminal ends of the strip are so cut or
bent back that they form, as shown, interlocking rabbets or catches b. The device
is secured in place by passing the open ring over the bird's foot as far as the leg
above the spur and then pressing the ends together and causing the parts b to
interlock so as to close the ring.
If desired the interlocking ends may be cemented together by merely dropping
thereon a small quantity of a mixture of alcohol and ether.
n
The rings may be made of various colours so as to distinguish each year's breed.
Any desired name and inscription may be written on the rings with an indelible
ink consisting of alcohol, nitrate of silver and nigrosine, or, if preferred, the
name, etc., may be burned in.
On account of the lightness and softness of celluloid rings manufactured of this
material are preferable to the usual metal rings.
The new ring will be very useful for marking carrier pigeons both on account of
its lightness and the indelibility of the inscription.
Instead of using nigrosine in the ink any other suitable black colour may be
used.
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
consider novel and desire to claim is :-
Celluloid rings for marking or distinguishing birds, consisting of a celluloid
strip a the ends of which are secured together by interlocking rabbets or catches b,
substantially as and for the advantages hereinbefore set forth.

I, ALBERT CARLISLE HERTS, of 1 Cripplegate Buildings, in the City of
London Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of casings for dress
bones and dress steels, and has for its object to increase the utility of such casings.
In order to effect this I make the casing of two colours, say, for instance, black
and white, so that when the dress bone or dress steel, is covered therewith, it is
black on one side and white on the other. By this means a dress bone or dress
steel can be used, either with a black or white lining as may be required, thus
increasing its utility twofold. It is obvious the casings may be made in any other
colours that may be desired. The casings may either be manufactured from a
fabric woven to the required pattern, or they may be made of two separate
fabrics of different colours and sewn or otherwise united together so as to form
parti-coloured casings.

An Improved Candle Holder.
I, HERMANN GLÄSER, of No. 38 Uniongasse Vienna-Hernals, in the Empire of
Austro-Hungary, 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 candle holders, and consists in so
constructing the holder that its chief merit is the facility and reliability with which
it will perform its office, whatever the size or thickness of the candles which it is
desired to hold; with these advantages it combines, moreover, simplicity of
construction and an extremely neat appearance.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, being a vertical
section of the improved candle holder.
A sleeve a, is provided with three or more springs a', bent at their extremity in
the shape of hooks or grippers, and passing through, or guided by, perforations 6',
in the drip plate b. The drip plate bis centrally supported by the pin or rod c,
riveted to a sleeve d, adjustable within the sleeve a; while a spring e, bearing
against the closing plate, arranged at the lower end of the sleeve a constantly tends
to raise the said rod c, and consequently also the drip plate b, with the result that
the ends all of the resilient hooks or grippers a' are pressed inwards. By depressing
the drip plate b, into the position indicated in dotted lines in the drawing, the
springs or hooks a', are moved to the position also marked in dotted lines, when the
candle may be placed in position upon the point of the rod c.
When this is done,
the drip plate is released and the spring e, being at liberty to exercise its upward
action again, immediately causes the candle to be gripped by the springs a!.
It will be understood that this candle holder is applicable to candle sticks and
lamps of every description.
'
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim is :-
A candle holder, mainly consisting of a sleeve a, provided at its upper end with
a number of hook or nipper shaped springs a', adapted to be brought close together
or compressed by the action of the drip plate b, carrying the candle receiving pin
or spike c, and subjected to the pressure of the spiral springe; whereby a candle
of any suitable diameter placed upon the said pin or spike c is securely retained in
position by the said hook or nipper shaped springs.

Ear Muffs for Attachment to Hats.
HARVEY HADDEN, Painter, of the Village of Peekskill, State of New York,
United States of America 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 is to be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure I represents a muff complete.
Figure II represents a hat in cross-section, showing the operation of the muff.
Figure III shows how the ear muff is attached to the rim of a hat.
In construction, a metallic piece a, having the round stem and the flattened:
ends c, c, bent at right angles to the said stem, constitutes the hanger for the muff..
A wire loop d having its ends bent into spirals e, e, is covered with the muff fabric f,.
and the spirals are slipped on the stem b, with their ends fastened to the stem, as.
shown at 9, the wire having a spring temper.
The spirals, of course, tend to hold the muff in one direction.
The hanger a is fastened to the hat rim just on the edge of the crown, as shown
in Figure II, and the spirals are so adjusted as to throw the muffs inside the crown,.
as shown at h, Figure II. .
Figure III illustrates how the points e, c, of the hanger are passed through the
rim k, and, being bent down, as shown, securely hold the spirals in a proper
position.
i, Figure III shows the muff in position for covering the ear.
The casual observer will not notice that a hat is provided with this muff, as the
hanger may be made inconspicuous, and the wire loops so sleuder that it will not.
only be out of sight, but the wearer of the hat will experience no inconvenience
from it. When the wearer wishes to use the muff, it is the work of a moment to
lift the hat, turn the muffs outward from inside the crown, holding them so until
the hat is replaced on the head, when, as soon as the hands are removed from them
they will comfortably cover the ears. Simply lifting the hat from the head causes
the muffs to return to the inside of the hat. Thus the muffs are always ready,.
never in the way, and cannot be laid down and forgotten, or left in a pocket "at
home" or at "the office."
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,
An ear-muff comprising a wire frame, a covering therefor, and a hanger for
securing said.frame to a hat, the wire terminating in spirals wound upon the shank.
of the hanger substantially as herein set forth.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
New or Improved Tyre for Cycle and other Wheels.
I, HARALD VILHELM KARLEBYE, of L. Kongeurgade No. 30, Copenhagen, in
the Kingdom of Denmark, Cigar 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 invention has for its object a new or improved tyre for cycle or other wheels
of the cushion type which whilst embracing the qualities of lightness and resiliency
does not suffer from the effect of a puncture to such an extent as is the case with
the ordinary pneumatic tyre.
My improved tyre I construct of an annular receptacle of linen or other
suitable material filled with granulated cork, the nature of which has been
altered considerably and its elasticity increased by previously treating it with
alum vapours.
This treatment I effect preferably by placing a gridiron, sieve or the like
containing the granulated cork over a boiler suitably heated and containing
powdered alum. When filled the annular receptacle may be protected with
an india-rubber or other covering in a similar manner to the ordinary
pneumatic tyre.
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 :-
(1.) Tyres of cycle and other wheels formed of an annular receptacle of linen
or other flexible material filled with granulated cork previously treated with alum
vapours substantially as described.
(2.) The treatment of granulated cork with alum vapours substantially as and
for the purpose described.

Improvements in Walls and Wall Plates or Slabs.
I, LAMBERT KÜPPER, Merchant of 32 Bahnhof Street Aix-la-Chapelle,
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 wall, represented by the annexed drawings, consists of plates, made of
gypsum or the like, the vertical side-ledges of which are constructed as grooves b,
which, when the plates are cemented together, form vertical channels, that are
filled with gypsum or the like in order to fasten one plate with the other.
From the above mentioned grooves there extend smaller channels c, in the
best manner in an oblique upward direction, which, when the principal channels b
are filled with the connecting material, are filled too, because the material enters
into the same, the air, contained in c, escaping through the pipes e into the
neighbouring isolating channel of the plate.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawing represents a wall, constructed of such
plates, the combination of which is shown in the broken part of the wall. The
oblique channels appear like rafters, by which the plates carry each other, so,
that the wall needs no foundation.
Fig. 2 represents a horizontal cross-section through the wall and
Figs. 3 and 4 show a single plate in vertical cross-section and side-view.
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 :
Plates, made of gypsum or the like, to form walls, the vertical side-ledges b
of which form round grooves, wherefrom small channels c extend, best in an
oblique upward direction, that are filled in the same manner as the principal
channels, formed by two touching plates, with the connecting material, and from
which pipes e extend to the neighboured isolating channel,, to have the air,
contained in c, escaped.

ARTHUR JOSEPH NEEDHAM and WALTER CECIL NEEDHAM Manufacturers
6 Hammersmith Terrace London W. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
t.
We have a blade of suitable length the top edge of which is preferably straight
& the other curved in the shape of an arc. To each end of said blade is hinged a
handle so that when one end is depressed the other rises thus forming a double
action mincing knife.
2. We also make a mincer by placing one two or more circular discs. side-by
side a suitable distance apart with the edges sharpened & the handle running
through or over the top of same so that when rolled backwards & forwards on t
the
chopping board the discs like so many cutting wheels form a rapid mincer. At
each side of the circular cutters we have an automatic scraper to prevent the quet
or other material from clogging. We do not confine ourselves to the number of
blades in either.

ARTHUR JOSEPH NEEDHAM and WALTER CECIL NEEDHAM Manufacturers
6 Hammersmith Terrace W. 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 :--
As shewn by the accompanying drawings.
1st. We have a blade a, of suitable length the top edge of which is preferably
straight & the bottom edge made sharp and curved in the shape of an arc. Tổ
cach end of said blade is hinged a handle b & c, as in Fig. 1 so that when handle b
is depressed the blade travels across the board to the left hand side & when
handle c as in Fig. 2 is depressed it travels to the right shewing the reciprocating
action combined with the hinged handles.
2nd. We form a mincer by having a wood or metalic frame a as in Fig. 3 with
2 slots 6 &c in which revolve two circular blades d & e so that when moved along
the board backwards & forwards the material is prevented from sticking to the
said blades by passing through slots in frame a.
Having now described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is―
1st. A mincer with the cutting edge of blade or blades made in the shape of an
arc with the handle or handles hinged or centred substantially as described.

page_text: 2nd. A mincer having circular blade or blades, with or without automatio
scraper substantially as described.

Improvements in Means for Supporting and Protecting Persons
when Cleaning Windows.
I. HEINRICH CARL THEODORE STANZE, of 4 Gneisenaustrasse, Leipzig,
Saxony, in the German Empire, Master Decorator, 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 invention relates to means for supporting and protecting persons when
cleaning windows, which safety support can be readily fastened in position.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a.
side elevation and Fig. 2 is a plan.
In carrying the invention into practice I use a wooden frame consisting of
uprights bb connected together by cross bars 6', horizontal beams d d¹ connected.
to said uprights, cross bars f f fixed on the beams d d and thereby forming a
platform, and short legs e e fixed to the beams d d' and extending downwards-
therefrom. Bent iron bars c c are fixed at their ends to the uprights 6 b', and iron
uprights a a are connected to the platform and bent iron bars, so as to form a.
protecting cage within which a person can securely stand and work..
When using the apparatus the cage and platform are placed outside the window;
the beams d d' rest on the window sill, the lower ends of the uprights bb' bear
against the inside of the wall below the window, whilst their upper ends bear
against the inner side of the lintel or wall above the window, and the short legs e el
bear against the outside of the wall below the window. The safety support is thus
securely held in position, and the person using. it is secured against falling
therefrom.
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 safety support constructed substantially as herein shown and described
and for the purpose stated.
2. A safety support for supporting and protecting persons when cleaning windows,.
consisting of a protecting cage placed outside of the window and attached to a
wooden frame and platform, the uprights of which frame bear at their upper ends.
against the inside of the lintel or wall above the window and at their lower ends
against the wall below the window, whilst the horizontal beams of the platform
rest on the window sill, and short legs attached to the platform bear against the
outside of the wall below the window, substantially as herein shown and described.

Improvements in Urinals.

Improvements in Urinals.
I MOSES JAMES ADAMS Engineer Peasholme Green York 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 :—
It has been the custom hitherto to use half round or semi circular glazed
earthenware slabs for urinals with a sole or dish made in a loose piece and
whereas urinals have been made with angular backs and soles or dish in one
piece they have not been so made of curved or semi circular form with the
curved backs and dishes or soles attached and made in one piece without joint.
My improvement now is particularly in this matter of forming the back and
sole or dish in one piece in the semi circular or curved form of urinal which
form possesses many advantages over those of an angular shape. My drawing
will make this description clear.
-
Fig. 1 shews an elevation and Fig. 2 a cross section of my urinal.
It will be noted particularly that A the back and B the sole or dish are made
in one piece of material and in the elevation the shade lines in the sole or dish
will shew the curved form I prefer to use. At C I use fluted tiles at D I use
piers or pillars to cover the ends of the curved backs and at E I use caps of
glazed earthenware with piece F to cover the joint of the cap E.
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
1st. The combination of a back and sole or dish made in one piece to form a
urinal such back and sole being curved or semi circular and not angular in form.
2nd. The combination of curved back and sole in one piece with fluted slope
or tile G to carry off falling liquid.
3rd. The design of the cap E and the general arrangement of the urinal shewn
and described or its equivalent though differing in conformity substantially the
same.
