Improvements in Toys.
I, ERNST FALLER of Bach in Gütenbach, Grand Duchy of Baden, Germany,.
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 mechanical contrivance for producing the effects of this toy is represented
in the accompanying design by the figures numbered 1 and 2, while a suitable
working example is sketched in figures numbered 3 and 4.
1 The method by means of which the frame (a) is caused to rise upward on the
cord (d, d) which cord, however, is one and the same in appearance only, through
drawing both rings on the cord (d, d') apart, or by holding the lower ring and
pulling on the upper ring, is as follows:-On an axle (c) placed within the frame (a).
are two winding-drums (b and b) of different diameters. On these the cords (d
and ) are wound and passing through two eyes (e and e¹) fixed to the middle
of the frame keep it in an upright position.
2-Let it be now considered that the cords (d and d) furnished with rings at the
ends are shown wound on the drums above mentioned. Then the frame according
to the differing dimensions of the circumferences of these drums must move
upwards. If, besides, each end of the revolving axle be furnished with a small
crank (), these cranks (f") at the same time communicate the motion of the
drums to the limbs of the figures as shown in the designs numbered 3 and 4.
3-In the example given, the cranks on the right side of Figure 4 set the arms
and those on the left side, by use of a crank-attachment, the legs of a human figure
in motion.
Having now particularly described and set forth the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be effected, I declare that what I claim as my
invention is:-
A contrivance for causing toy-figures of all descriptions to ascend on a tightly
stretched cord, consisting of a frame (a) wherein is placed an axle (c) on which
two drums (b, b) are fixed. The cords (d and d) are arranged to run through
eyes (e and e) over these drums in opposite directions. Thus drawn along, as
stated in paragraph numbered "2," the frame with toy-figure attached, obtains an
ascending motion corresponding with the difference in unwinding caused by the
difference of circumference, of the drums. Simultaneously, the 'cranks (), '').
attached to outer ends of the axle (c) impart to individual portions of the toy-figure
a separate movement.

An Improved Bottle for Holding Liquids.
I, JAMES SCOTT WOOD of 27 Brook Street, Bond Street, London, 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 :-
My invention consists of an improved bottle for holding liquids for use in hotels,.
bars, publichouses and other places. The bottle is divided into two parts with an
aperture at the bottom into which an ordinary tap may be inserted for drawing off
the liquids as required.
Fig. 1 shews the bottle in position as used with an aperture A in which the tap is.
inserted.
Fig. 2 shews the bottle divided into two parts B and C.
My bottle is intended to take the place of the urns or other receptacles now
used and may be of a large size so as to contain one or more gallons of liquid as
desired.
In the ordinary urn now in use great difficulty is experienced in cleaning the
interior of the receptacle, whereas in my improved bottle all such difficulty is
obviated as the two parts are easily cleaned by hand. Moreover the portion of
the bottle used to contain the liquid is easily refilled with liquid when desired.
The bottle can also be used as a means of advertising as an enlarged label can
be placed thereon exactly as in the case of ordinary bottles sold to the public.
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 bottle divided into two parts with aperture at bottom for tap substantially as.

Improvements in Pencil Point Protectors applicable to Pen Holders,
and also for Use as a Style or Tracing Point.
I, MAX ILLFELDER, Manufacturer Maxstrasse 25, Furth i/-Bayern, do hereby
declare the nature of my said 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 improvements in pencil point protectors
applicable to pen holders and also for use as a style or tracing point, and consists
of a sheath or protector which may be attached to pencils, penholders and similar
articles while admitting either of these articles being used as such or as a tracing
point as occasion may require..
The utility of the invention is exemplified by the accompanying drawings
showing as per
Figure 1, is a part sectional view showing my invention attached to a penoil.
Figure 2, slows the pencil and protector in elevation.
Figure 3, shows a modification in the form of the invention.
My invention consists of a sheath a made of any suitable. metal, 'bone, horn,
vulcanized india rubber, agate or other similar material and I provide the interior
of this sheath with a screw worm as shown in Figure 1 which is for the purpose of
attaching it to the pencil or in other cases I dispenso with the scrow and simply
form the protector plain so as to simply slide upon the pencil or pen holder as seen
at C Figure 3.
Hitherto pencil protectors have only served as pencil protectors but my
invention not only acts as such but can be used as a stylographic pen being
rounded at the point d for the purpose, and as will be seen the internal screw.
serves to keep the cap firmly upon the pencil or pen-holder or in other cases a
plain tube such as C in Figure 3 can be used so long as it is made to fit tightly.
The cap can be made of any material and of any shape to suit any shaped pencil
or bolder.
It will be understood that the protector can be used solely as a stylographic peu
or tracer if so desired. In this case it could be permanently attached to a holder
by any suitable means.
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 improvements in pencil point protectors applicable to pen holders and so
made as to be suitable for use as a stylographio or tracing pen substantially as
shown and described.

Improvements in Incandescent Electric Lamps.
I, VINCENT FABRIS of 171 Drummond Street, Hampstead Road London N.W.
Electrician 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 object is to increase the lighting power of incandescent electric lamps.
In order to attain this object. I make use of a reflector or reflectors which may
be of marble composition consisting of marble dust grey lime and kaolin in equal
proportions or other suitable material and of any convenient shape and in front of
same I place the wire or filament.
The accompanying drawing shows the form of reflector which I find most
advantageous for a lamp with a wire or filament of ordinary bulb shape, Figure 1
being an elevation and Figure 2 a section of same in plan while for a lamp to
project the light in a perpendicular direction I prefer to use the form of reflector
shown in Figures 3 and 4 the latter being a sectional plan on the line X. Y.
The globe in which the reflector and filament are contained is represented by
the letter A the filament by the letter B while C represents the reflecting
composition.
I secure the reflector to the wire or filament by filling up the grove for a short
distance at D with some of the plaster of which the reflector is composed while the
said wire or filament is fixed within the lamp globe in the usual way.
In Figure 3, E represents the bridge of glass or other suitable material.
I do not confine myself to any material or shape of which to make the reflector,
or to any method of fixing same within the lamp as these would vary according to
the style of wire or filament used.

page_text: A Roughing for Horse Shoes.
I, THE RIGHT HONOURABLE WILLIAM HENRY, EARL POULETT, of Hinton
St. George, in the County of Somerset, 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 means of roughing horse shoes so as to provide against
slipping, as I shall describe referring to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a plan shewing the face of a horse shoe with roughing according to my
invention, and
Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the roughing studs.
At several places in the horse shoe I make tapering holes and into each of those
holes I drive a stud, such as is shewn in Fig. 2, having a tapering shank which
when driven fits tightly in the hole of the shoe, and having a pyramidal head which
penetrates the slippery track and prevents slipping.
Although I have shewn studs in the rear ends of the shoe, either or both of these
ends may be made as usual with projections, the studs, of which there may be a
less or greater number, being driven in other parts of the shoe.
For facilitating the removal of a stud, I prefer to make on each side of the head
a shallow recess to receive a stud projecting from each jaw of a pincers which can
be applied to grip the head; or a nick can be made on each side of the head, Bo
that the studs can be easily removed by the aid of a chisel.
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 roughing for horse shoes consisting of several studs having pyramidal heads
and taper shanks driven into taper holes of the shoe, substantially as described.

[Communicated from abroad by Messrs. SIEMENS and HALSKE, of 94, Markgrafen-
strasse, Berlin, in the German Empire.]
Improved Means for Preventing Variations in the Regulation of
Shunt Arc Lamps for Alternating Currents.
We, SIEMENS BROTHERS & Co. LIMITED, of 12 Queen Anne's Gate,
Westminster, in the County of Middlesex, Electrical Engineers, 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 :—
Shunt arc lamps for alternating currents have the peculiar feature that the
regulating action does not always take place at the same mean tension of the lamp
current, as is the case with continuous current lamps.
The present invention has for its object to avoid such fluctuation of the degree
of tension at which the regulation takes place in the said arc lamps, and it consists
in introducing into the circuit of the shunt electromagnet winding of the lamp, a
non inductive resistance (bi-filamental). The current passing through this winding
is then found to be approximately proportional to the lamp tension, and the above
mentioned irregularities in the regulation are avoided.
By such introduction of a non-inductive resistance in the shunt circuit the
dependence of the shunt current upon the self induction coefficient of the circuit
is reduced.
Distortions of the tension curve then produce approximately proportional
variations of the shunt current, and even small variations in the self induction
coefficient in cousequence of variations in the position of the armature can in that
case no longer materially affect the intensity of the shunt current.
The extent of the said non-inductive resistance to be included in the electro
magnet circuit will depend more or less upon the frequency of the alternating
current. Thus, for example, in a lamp working with a current having 50 periods
per second and the electromagnet windings of which have a total resistance of
3, 5 ohms and an apparent resistance due to self induction of about 65 ohms,
the requisite amount of bi filamental non inductive resistance to be introduced has
been found to be about ohms.
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 :-
In shunt arc lamps for alternating currents, the introduction of a non-inductive
resistance in the circuit of the shunt electromagnet, for the purpose of obviating
the variations in degree of the shunt current tension at which the regulating
device operates.

A New or Improved Tobacco Pipe.
I HENRY SHIELDS of 22 Waterloo Road Middlesbro' Foreman, Ship Plater,
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 construction of tobacco pipe, and is intended
to provide a pipe which will effectually prevent nicotine from reaching the smoker's
mouth, and which can also be easily and thoroughly cleaned out when required.
The stem is formed with a chamber, or has a passage of considerable diameter.
The mouthpiece is provided with a tube projecting into this chamber and forming
a continuation of the bore, opening into the stem at a point close to the bowl. The
latter is furnished with a detachable bottom which separates the bowl proper from
the chamber, a small perforation in the bottom allowing the smoke to pass..
through.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had to
the accompanying drawing, which is a cross section of the complete pipe.
A is the stem, made as shown, rather larger than usual and with an enlarged'
bore a forming a recess, widening out to form the bowl end B. This is furnished.
with a ledge b on which the removable bottom C rests, being put in position.
through the mouth of the bowl.
This bottom is formed with a perforation c and can be entirely removed when.
desired, leaving a wide clear passage through the stem and bowl and allowing the
pipe to be cleaned thoroughly.
The mouthpiece D which is screwed or otherwise fitted into the stem, is provided.
with a tubular extension d forming a continuation of the bore, and projecting into.
the cavity a and opening close to the bottom of the bowl. Any nicotine or moisture
will thus be deposited in the chamber a and will be prevented from passing into-
the mouthpiece or bowl.
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. A. tobacco pipe having a chamber or enlarged passage in the stem, a mouth-
piece provided with a tubular extension projecting into the chamber, and a
removable bowl bottom which can be inserted through the bowl end and removed.
for cleaning purposes substantially as and for the purposes specified.

County of Surrey, Wool Rug 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 the manufacture of rugs, mats, and the like in imitation
of natural wool mats, these latter consist of the wool and the skin of the animal-
which is used as a backing or foundation and is sometimes strengthened by a piece
of leather secured upon the back of the skin by some adhesive material.
In making my improved mats, I procure a suitable wool or fibre, of the proper
texture size and colour,--or it can be dyed afterwards-and sew this in rows or
locks into a suitable backing such as a carpet-backing or a lighter backing can be
used if preferred. The wool is sewn in so as to leave locks of the proper length,
so that when these are cut or uncut the rugs or mats will be of the desired length
and appearance.
After dyeing and before sewing, the wool or fibre may be curled or semi curled
to impart to it the wavy appearance of the natural fleece. Pure wool may be used
for the rugs or mats, or mohair or a mixture of wool and mohair or other suitable
material.
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 the manufacture of rugs, mats and the like, the sewing to a suitable back of
the wool or fibres dyed or undyed in rows or locks in imitation of the natural skin

Improved Means of Purifying the Effluent Waste Waters of Tin
Plate Works and the like.
I, WILLIAM JOHN PUGHSLEY, of Briton Ferry, Glamorganshire, Manufacturing
Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of the said 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 improved means of purifying the effluent waste waters
flowing to rivers from pickling tanks, swilling tanks and other parts of tin-plate and
analogous manufactories, with the object of eliminating from such effluent, before it
enters the river into which it falls, the contained oil of vitriol, iron oxide and
analogous impurities which would be destructive to fish inhabiting the water, and
injurious to cattle or other beings drinking therefrom, so as to avoid pollution of
the river.
"
In carrying out the invention, I employ a series or series of connected filters
consecutively through which the effluent "mother liquor," "scouring water
or other "waste water" containing said impurities is caused to pass, and from
which it issues in a purified condition freed from such impurities.
The first filter is filled with or contains calcined limestone broken up preferably
into pieces not exceeding about 3 inches in diameter. The second filter is filled
with or contains burnt oyster or cockle shells; and the third filter is filled with or
contains stick charcoal.
The filters may be made of any suitable material and of any suitable construction,
and may be separate and connected by earthenware piping, or they may be arranged
in close contiguity and the outlet from one to the other thereof provided with a
perforated partition admitting of the flow of the liquid contents, but stopping the
respective filtering media from passing from one filter or chamber to the other.
Previously to so treating the effluent waste water or liquid from "black pickle,"
it is advisable that a portion of the contained iron and acid should be extracted by
concentration and crystalization, in which event the filters would last much longer
without renewal.
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 :-
Purifying the effluent waste waters of tin plate works and the like by filtering
the same successively through calcined limestone, burnt oyster or cockle shells and
stick charcoal, or their respective equivalents.

said 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 Improvements in Egg Openers and is for the-
purpose of facilitating the removal of the top of an egg whereby the present
troublesome method is abolished.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the egg openers of short tubes made
of steel or other suitable metal and which have suitable diameters at the outer ends.
to take just as much off the egg as is requisite and which it is necessary to remove...
These ends are cross-milled or cut like a file to form a cutting edge, and one end
of the tube may be made larger than the other so that a larger egg may be cut.
open. The opener may be mounted on a stand or made one with a stand according
to the design.
In order that my invention may be more readily understood and carried into
effect I append hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which I have illustrated my
invention.
Figure 1., is an elevation of my egg opener secured by means of a screw to a...
stand of any material.
Figure 2., is a longitudinal section of the same, but showing a hand putting an-
egg into the opener.
Figures 3 and 4., are sections of the opener without a stand, the one, Figure 4,.
baving a larger opening at one end.
Figure 5., shows an opener in the shape of a barrel.
In opening the egg, supposing that it is an opener such as Figures 34 or 5
I simply hold the opener in one hand and insert the end of the egg into the end of
the tube A which is suited to it, such for instance, if it is a large egg, at a² and
if it is a small egg, at a', and hold the egg with the other hand and gently turn it.
against the cutting a³ which will cut the shell so that a knife or slight tap.
with the spoon will cleanly cut the top of the egg off. Of course it will.
be obvious that the cutter can be attached to a stand B either by a screw c or it..
can be made in one according to the material, and design of the article to be
produced, and in this case the stand could be so made that in the case of restaurants.
it would be secured to the table and so do away with the necessity of taking the
opener in the hands.
It will of course be obvious that I can make the opener any size and that the.
file edge can be made in any shape or form so long as it achieves the object in.
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 :-
Improvements in egg openers consisting of a tube in any shape with ends of:
file-cutting finish, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth and shown.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Mixing and Kneading Machines.
I, PETER KÜPPER of Kockerellstrasse 27 Aix-la-Chapelle, in the Empire of
Germany, Master Baker,. 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 stirring device illustrated in the accompanying drawings is specially devised
for use in machines for mixing and kneading dough, but is equally well adapted for
mixing and incorporating other materials with advantageous results.
Owing to the new arrangement adopted in this improved machine, for the wings
or stirrers a most thorough and intimate admixture of the dough or other materials
is obtained, especially by reason of the alternating thrust thereof to and fro
between the periphery and the axis, combined with a simultaneous longitudinal
displacement of the same from end to end of the mixing trough, the symmetrically
arranged pairs of stirring arms A B and A'B' (Figs. 1 and 2) effecting the
mixing and kneading in each half alternately.
The agitators or stirring arms are formed of curved sheet metal strips secured to
the shaft and stayed by radial supports b, and adapted to fit as closely as possible
to the shape of the cylindrical bottom of the mixing trough in their revolution.
The arms A and B are formed on the lines of a right-handed screw-thread, while
A and B follow those of a left handed screw-thread. The former, while mixing
and kneading in the upper half displace the material from right to left as indicated
by the arrows in Fig. 2, while the latter have a similar but contrary effect in the
lower half, as shown by the arrows, in the opposite direction viz. from left to right.
Inasmuch as, in so doing, the arms thrust a considerable mass of the material along,
in front of them, a part thereof must be pushed sufficiently far forward, say, by the
arm B, to the right as to be caught by the arm A¹ and thus mixed with the
materials being kneaded in the dexter half of the trough, while the same feed
process subsists between the arms B' and A.
The arms A. B A' B' are provided at their free ends with bent tips w, x, y, z
projecting inwards towards the axis of the trough, as shown.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is;
1. A mixing and kneading machine characterised by two symmetrically arranged
pairs of stirring arms mounted on the shaft in its longitudinal direction for the
purpose of effecting a thoroughly intimate admixture of the materials under treat-
ment the individual arms of each pair being bent outwardly on the lines of opposite-
handed screw-threads.
2. In a mixing machine the arrangement of opposite-headed screw stirrers or
mixers substantially as described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

This we accomplish by making the roof of the kennel moveable, that is to say, it
may be hinged or made capable of sliding up and down in such a way that while
admitting air for ventilation, it will exclude the weather from the interior.
The accompanying drawings show how our invention may be carried into effect,
in which,
Figure 1 is a cross section of our improved kennel with hinged roof open to
admit ventilation.
Figure 2, a sectional plan thereof;
Figure 24, detail view of the toothed segment and eye piece :
Figure 3, a cross-section of our kennel with sliding roof;
Figure 4, a sectional plan, and
Figure 5, a general view of a kennel.
j
In Figures 1, 2, 24 and 5, A is the kennel, B the roof hinged to the top
rail C, D, hinges, E cap on the top of rail to exclude weather, F, toothed segment
hinged to the roof B, and G eye pieces fixed to the kennel for the segment to
engage in. The toothed segment may of course be arranged outside the kennel
as shown in Figures 1 and 2 or inside as shown in Figure 5.
The mode of action is as follows:-
To ventilate the kennel, all that is necessary is to raise the hinged roof B
to the required height, the toothed segments F engaging the eye pieces G
automatically, thus holding the roof open to admit air. To shut the roof, the
toothed segments are lifted out of engagement with the eye pieces and the roof
can then be closed and fastened.. It is obvious that instead of making the roof
hinged it may be adapted to slide up and down as shown in Figures 3 and 4,
the only alteration being that instead of hinges we provide the iron guide H
to which the roof is fixed, and instead of the segments, the pins I or other
suitable device. The iron guides are adapted to slide up and down in the
corners of the kennel. To admit ventilation, the roof is lifted and held open
at any required height by inserting the pins I which engage holes in the
guides H. To close the roof, the pins I are taken out, the roof pushed down and
locked by re-inserting the pins I.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we wish it to be understood
that we do not limit ourselves to the exact arrangements herein described, as they
may be altered to suit special requirements without departing from the principle of
our invention, but what we claim is
-
1. The improvement in dog kennels or the like, namely forming them with roofs
hinged or otherwise made movable, instead of being a fixed or immoveable part
as hitherto, whereby the roof can be raised when required and a free space allowed
for ventilation.
2. The combination with hinged or moveable roofs of dog kennels, of means

page_text: substantially as set forth whereby the roof can be held open at any required height
or locked when closed.
3. The arrangement and construction of dog kennels substantially as described,
whereby free ventilation can be secured and the amount of ventilation regulated as
required.

An Improved Curtain-hook.
I, HUGH COLEMAN DAVIDSON, of Fairseat, Wrotham, Kent, Author, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It consists of an upper hook, similar to the upper hook in the ordinary safety
curtain-hook, the end of the shank bent over upon itself to form a sort of ring, and,
passing through this ring, a length of wire which is drawn downwards until it
is doubled upon itself, both halves being then bent upwards to form hooks, these two
hooks being in the same plane, one on each side of the upper hook from which they
hang, their ends pointed, and reaching a higher level than the top of the wire in the
centre.

I, HUGH COLEMAN DAVIDSON, of Fairseat, Wrotham, Kent, Author, 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 wire, of sufficient length to make the hook, is bent so as to form three sides of
a rectangle (a, a, a) with a loop (6) in the centre of the central side and in the same
direction as the other two sides; the two extremities (c, c) of the wire are pointed,
and the double hook thus formed is attached by means of the loop to a plain
hook (d) which has the end of the shank (e) bent over upon itself for that
purpose.

page_text: impeded, as the steam is deflected by the shape of the pockets in connection with
the dividing flange, so that the exhaust steam never reacts against the incoming
steam.
Steam entering the chamber J finds an outlet through the exhaust pipe K.
I preferably cut away the wall L Figs. 4 and 5 between the two pockets, as
shown at M, so that all the steam leaving the nozzles will enter the pockets as the
dividing wall between the pockets is thus provided with a sharp edge.
This construction allows the steam to get out of the way of the inflowing jet
and reduces very decidedly the resistance of the flow of the jet.
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 foreign correspondents, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. In a rotary motor, a wheel having peripheral pockets, a central dividing
flange therein, and a jet adapted to direct the impelling fluid or gas upon the
flange, whereby the discharge or exhaust is deflected towards the edges, substan-
tially as described.
2. In a rotary motor, a wheel having peripheral pockets inclined, and enlarging
from the bottom out, said pockets being arranged in pairs, a ridge or flange dividing
the members of each pair, and a jet adapted to direct the impelling fluid or gas
upon the ridge, substantially as described.
3. In a rotary motor, a wheel comprising a solid metal body and rim, inclined
pockets, flaring towards the mouth sunk into the periphery, and nozzles adapted
to discharge centrally therein and having free discharge at the sides, substantially
as described.
