3RD MIXTURE.
31 parts of water
6 parts of lime
12 parts of heather (in short lengths)
12 parts of tan
8 parts of cocoa-nut fibre
4 parts of sifted kiln-dust
27 parts of plaster of Paris

page_text: The manufacture of plaster-sheets is performed on stone or cement-tables of the
size of the plaster-sheets, on these cement or stone tables india-rubber sheets are
laid of the same size as the plaster sheets, which are for the purpose of releaving
the plaster-composition from the cement or stone tables; round these india-rubber
sheets, iron bars of of an inch in thickness are placed, to form a kind of mould for
the composition to be poured in.
The various substances for the composition have to be very well mixed, firstly
the proper quantity of water is poured into a suitable tank or tube, then the slacked
lime is added and well mixed with the water, before adding any more of the
ingredients, after mixing lime and water, the various substances mentioned in either
of the 5 mixtures named, but without the plaster of Paris, are added, and after the
whole is again well stirred up, the right quantity of plaster of Paris is added, and
after again being well mixed, the composition will be in a condition of a thick
liquid, which is then poured into the mould on the india-rubber sheet, the
composition being then levelled out by means of an iron roller; after leaving the
composition for about 20 minutes on the table, it will have become quite stiff, and
can be taken away from the cement or stone table, the india-rubber sheet is
removed, and the plaster-sheet is taken into a suitable air-drying shed; after
2 or 3 weeks drying the plaster sheets are ready for application.
I do not limit myself to the proportions stated in my 5 mixtures as they may be
varied without greatly altering the nature of my invention.
The application of the plaster-sheets is as follows:
The sheets are nailed with wire nails to the joists of ceilings and to the uprights
of partitions, and then the whole ceiling or wall gets a final coating of ordinary
plaster, about th of an inch in thickness, to make up the joints of the plaster-
sheets and bring the whole to a level face.
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. In the manufacture of plaster-sheets, the composition as stated in my
5 mixtures, and the application of same substantially as described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Soap.
I, JAMES MCLAREN, of 156, Bedford Road, Bootle, in the County of Lancaster,
Chartered Accountant, 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 consists in adding to the ingredients generally used in the manu-
facture of soap a quantity of the material known in commerce as bath-brick, the
same being previously reduced to a powder.
To produce a soap suitable for household or scouring purposes, I mix by crutching
or the like, powdered bath-brick and soap when the latter is in a melted state, in
the proportion of one-fifth of bathbrick to four-fifths of soap, by weight. The
soap is then moulded or otherwise treated in the usual way to produce hard or soft
soap. Powdered bath-brick may also be added to the ingredients of soap-powder
in the proportions above given.
It will be understood that the proportion of bath-brick relative to the quantity
of soap may vary according to the use to which such soap is to be applied, thus
toilet soap may contain a smaller proportion of bath-brick than will household or
scouring soap.
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 :-
The employment of powdered bath-brick as an ingredient in hard soad. soft soap.

We, JOHN HENRY MOORE, of 7 Jansen Road, Leytonstone Road, Stratford,
in the County of London, Gelatine Manufacturer, and JULES INGER, of
28 Minories, in the City of London, Tea 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 :-
The object of our invention is to provide a new and convenient form of packet,
which we call our soluble infusion packet, in which tea, or coffee, or cocoa, or
like articles intended to be infused or treated with hot water, milk or other
liquid, previous to consumption, may be safely wrapped in a soluble wrapper and
sold in that prepared state, by means whereof a cup or pot of tea or other like
beverage comprising the necessary quantity of sugar and milk may be readily
made and practically in one operation.
For this purpose we pack in a white transparent gelatine case or wrapper,
which we make practically air-tight or sufficiently so to preserve the contents,
a sufficient quantity of tea, coffee, cocoa or the like to make a cup or pot together
with a caramel of sugar and milk, which may be advantageously prepared in
the manner hereinafter described. In some cases the tea or like material may
be packed in the wrapper with powdered sugar and condensed milk in a dry form.
When we employ the caramel we make it by dissolving sugar in milk preferably
in the proportion of 1 lb. of the former to 1 quart of the latter and heating this
mixture and allowing it to simmer until reduced to a thick paste, such as will
solidify when the paste is cooled. This paste is then solidified by being cooled
and is afterwards rolled and cut into blocks when it is ready for use." It may then
be coated with sugar in the same manner as sugared almonds.
When our packet is prepared for sale an ornamental band may be placed round
the gelatine case or wrapper to protect it in some degree and also to take the
name of the seller or other lettering besides giving the packet a finished
appearance.
When using the packet it is only necessary to first remove this band and then
immerse the packet as it is in its prepared form in boiling water to produce a cup
or pot of tea, coffee, or the like, when required.
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:-
The manufacture of and use and sale of our prepared packet containing tea,
coffee, cocoa or the like in a case or wrapper of gelatine, substantially as
described.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Weights for Scales.
I, GEORGE HERBERT, of 6 and 7 West Smithfield, London E.C., Scale and
Weighing Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said inven-
tion to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to effect improvements in the manufacture of
weights for scales in such a manner as to increase the durability of such weights.
In carrying out my invention I cast or otherwise form the weights of steel; the
weight, after being suitably turned or moulded to the desired size and weight, is
hardened to prevent wear, and plated if desired.
In some cases I form the steel weight hollow to receive a plug of lead for adjust-
ment, the steel case resisting the wear of the article.
It will be obvious, that the weight, being made of hardened steel will not lose so
much in specific gravity by continual contact and wear with the scale pans, or other
surfaces, as those weights now in use.

A New or Improved Lining for Grooved Tiles and Corrugated
Iron Roofs.
I, SIGMUND JOHANN HAUSSEN, of 20 Schulstrasse Nurnburg, Germany,
Master Slater, 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 to provide a lining for grooved tiles and
corrugated iron roofs which will prevent the infiltration of snow, soot, and dust and
the permeation of condensed water formed on the inside of the roof. The lining
also gives a pleasant appearance to the inside of the roof.
On the annexed drawings which show one method of carrying out my invention,
Fig. 1 is a plan view and Fig. 2 a section of the roof and framing.
This invention consists essentially in arranging below the full length of each row
of tiles, commencing at the lowest row, strips of sheet metal, roofing felt, or other
waterproof material. The upper ends of the underlying strips rest or bear on the
cross beams, whilst their lower ends rest on the upper edges c of the adjoining
lower row of tiles. As will be seen in this manner the lower ends are secured
between two rows of tiles. If desired the strips may also be supported by
intermediate strengthening beams 61 or by bearing springs or pieces d.
A roof is thus formed which is tight from top to bottom and is without joints.
Water of condensation formed on the inside of the roof as well as any water
which may accumulate in the grooves, runs from the linings a out over the adjoining
lower row of tiles.
A very important feature of this invention is that the roof remains watertight
even though one, or more of the tiles or corrugated sheets is or are displaced.
If roofing felt is used for the lining the roof is protected against the radiation of
heat.
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 :-
:-
A lining for tiled and corrugated iron roofs, consisting of strips of any suitable
material arranged in such a manner that their upper ends rest on the cross beams
whilst their lower ends are secured between two rows of tiles or corrugated sheets,
substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

Improvement in the Construction of Condenser Bobbins.
JOHN KAY, Crown Works, Walker Street, Rochdale, Lancashire, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows -
This invention relates to that form of bolt which is used in the construction of
condenser bobbins, the principal, or middle, portion of which, for the sake of
lightness, is made from a thinner section of iron than that of which the ends are
made. Hitherto, it has been customary to make the ends separately and afterwards:
weld them to a lighter rod to form. the bolt, but this method has proved very
unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the bolts have frequently broken at these weldings or
peicings.
My invention consists in making these bolts from one continuous peice of light.
rod of iron or steel by putting a hoop or collar on each end and welding it there.
I thus increase the thickness of the ends to the amount desired for the reception of
the usual screw-thread upon which the head and nut is afterwards fitted, without
having to resort to the objectionable peicings or weldings previously referred to.

I MARK MARTIN of 36 Susans Road Eastbourne in the County of Sussex,.
Builder and Contractor, 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 give a current of fresh air to a main drain or
sewer and to prevent exit of foul air through such inlet; shafts being provided for
such exit carried up at intervals.
According to this invention I form a box of cast iron or other material B B with
rebate at top G to take the cover A. and fillets at bottom E for setting. Across
this box I form a partition C having a number of openings K in same; at the back
of these openings K I hinge flaps of mica or other suitable material to completely
cover same. At the top of this partition C I form a channel or groove for the
fillet on the cover A. to fit into, which forms with the use of sand or other material
an airtight joint. To prevent back draught from opening the flaps I make an
irregular shaped fillet at M and to ensure the flaps L fitting tightly I make that
part of the partition slightly at an angle that the weight of the flap may bear-
thereon. To prevent flaps from rising too high I provide the nibs N. Air holes H
are provided in the cover A and I fix a guard J to same to keep dust &c., away
from flaps. The top part of M is sloping that any dust &c. that may get through
may fall off. In the front chamber I provide and insert a dirt box D to catch
the dust &c. this stands on fillets F F and is lifted out to empty same.
part O is fixed over a brick or other shaft connected with the drain and the top
of A finishes with the level of the surface and the invention works in the following
manner; Fresh air enters the cover at H passes under the guard J entering
through K lifting up flaps L and then passing through O to the drain and
through drain and out at exit shafts. Dirt and dust entering with fresh air knocks
against J and falls into box D. Should foul or drain air rise at O the valves
shut and confine the air to the inner box.

An Improved Method of Making the Rail-joints of Railways for the
Prevention of Downward Springing of the Rail thereat.
I, FREDERICK WILLDEY of West View House, Apperley Bridge near Leeds,
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:-
The object of my invention is to prevent the rail springing at the joints by the
provision of a rigid support for the rail joints, which shall be continuous from one
sleeper to the other, between which the joint in the rail occurs, to be performed in
the following manner-
I employ a combination in one and the same casting, in iron or steel, and of
ample strength, of two rail chairs A. A. one beam B., and one fish-plate C. The
beam B. forms a span or girder between the two chairs A. A. and connects with
them at its ends, having its upper or straight surface level with that part of the
chairs A. A upon which the rail rests. The two chairs A. A. thus connecting with
the ends of the beam B., form feet whereby the beam B. is supported at either end
by one of the two sleepers between which the joint in the rail occurs, so that the
two chairs A. A., the beam B, and the fish-plate C, being combined in the same
casting as before described, resolve themselves collectively into a beam supported
at both ends by the sleepers before named, having the joint in the rail which it
supports, directly above its centre or strongest part. The fish-plate C, fills up the
space between the two chairs A. A. and combines with them at its ends, as also
with the beam B, around the lower bulb of the rail. I provide a fillet D,
running along the top surface of the beam B, for the better securing of the rail
sideways.
The rail is secured in the chairs by wooden wedges according to the common
practice, on the same side of the rail as the loose or old pattern fish-plate E.
which is of the common pattern now in use, the joint being secured by bolts in
the ordinary way, and the chairs A, A, spiked in a similar manner to the
sleepers.
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 bridging of the space between the sleepers by a beam of a strength to form
a substantial bed-plate for the support of the rail ends, whose joint occurs at its
centre, so that the tendency of the rail to spring downwards at the joints shall be
thereby prevented.

I, ANDREW ERSKINE MUIRHEAD Forgeman of Cart Forge Crossmyloof
near Glasgow 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 railway chairs.
In carrying my invention into practice I roll from a bloom or ingot of iron or
steel a bar having a section somewhat similar in section to a channel with base
extended on both sides beyond the upright flauges which are utilized for jaws of
chair, the base acting as the sole plate. I then cut the bar into the lengths
required by sawing, shearing, or punching, or by a combination of these to avoid
distortion, after which I insert a mandril between the jaws, and bring down a
suitably shaped cress by steam, hydraulic, or other power to give the jaws the
necessary curve. I provide the usual holes in the base plate.
In order that my invention may be more fully understood I have appended a
sheet of drawing of which Figure 1 is a section showing the chair after having been
rolled and cut; while Figure 2 is a section showing it with the uecessary curve
and fixed to the rail,-A being the sole plate, B the jaws, and C the rail.
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 railway chairs substantially in the manner hereinbefore
described and shown on the accompanying sheet of drawing.

A New or Improved Anti-pyretic and Anti-neuralgic Preparation.
I, SIEGMUND RADLAUER of 160 Friedrichstrasse, Berlin, in the German
Empire, 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 :-
This invention relates to a new or improved anti-pyretic and anti-neuralgic
preparation and consists of heating acetanilide with salicylic acid in approximately
molecular proportions to about 100 degrees centigrade. The resulting oily fluid is
a saline additive product of acetanilide and salicylic acid and has the following
formula:-
CH¸NH. C₂H₂O. CH. ОH. CO̟H = CH¸NH. CO. CH. OH + CH₂O. OH.
A convenient method of carrying this invention into effect is as follows:-
One hundred parts by weight of acetanilide are thoroughly mixed with one
hundred and two parts by weight of salicylic acid and the mixture is heated in a
steam bath to about 100 degrees centigrade or until an oily fluid is formed. The
temperature is then raised to 120 degrees centigrade and maintained until no
further odour of acetic acid is emitted.
The resulting product is then allowed to cool and forms a cake which may be
pulverised or powdered. It is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and forms a
base upon which acids can react. Its melting point is reached at about 100 degrees
centigrade.
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 new or improved anti-pyretic and anti-neuralgic compound prepared from
acetanilide and salicylic acid substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The herein before described process for the preparation of anti-pyretic and
anti-neuralgic compound consisting in heating together approximately molecular
proportions of acetanilide and salicylic acid substantially as set forth.

An Improved Combined Corset and Abdominal Belt.

An Improved Combined Corset and Abdominal Belt.
I, ELIZABETH MERRILLEES, of No. 224 Swanston Street Melbourne in the
Colony of Victoria, 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 :-
This invention has been designed for the purpose of providing a combined corset.
and abdominal belt, in which the whole of the beneficial effects of abdominal belts
are retained and in which the pressure arising from the use of such belts is
distributed over the whole of the corset instead of being concentrated over the
region of the kidneys.
It consists in providing a properly fitting corset, to the lower part of which an
abdominal belt is attached. The precise point of attachment may vary somewhat,.
but it should be at that part of the corset which covers the back of the hips. It
should be made in three parts, viz. two end pieces and a centre piece, and it must be
long enough to pass around and comfortably support the abdomen. The centre
piece should not extend upwards beyond the two end pieces, because if it does so the
beneficial effect of the belt will be lost, that is to say, the centre piece will not in
that case support the abdomen but will merely press upon and flatten the
stomach.
It should be made mainly of a non-elastic material, such for instance as corded
silk, with a gusset of elastic material let in to each length.
The centre length is connected to the two side lengths by means of straps and
buckles by which the belt itself can also be regulated so as to fit the abdomen.
In order to prevent the belt rising above the required position in front, I provide
two retaining hooks, one at each side of the front of the lower end of the corset so.
as to prevent the belt rising above them, and in order to provide an additional
support for the lower part of the abdomen, I provide two hooks and eyes at the
bottom of the two front ends, which are slightly lengthened for the purpose.
Referring to my drawings,―
Figure 1 represents a front perspective view of my invention, and
Figure 2 is a similar view, except that the abdominal belt is loosed instead of
fastened.
A is the non-elastic material forming the principal portion of the belt, B the
elastic gussets, C the straps and buckles, D the retaining hooks on the lower part
of the front of the corset, and E the hooks and eyes at the bottom of the front
ends of the corset.
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 :-
My improved combined corset and abdominal belt constructed and arranged in
the manner and for the purpose herein described and explained and as illustrated
in my drawings.
