397 J. A. JONES. Improvements in the production of iron and steel. Dated February 5, 1868. The patentee claims, first, the preparation from pig or cast iron in a puddling or other suitable furnace of crude iron or metal, which iron or metal having been cleansed or partially cleansed from impurities, such as sulphur and phosphorus, and is removed from the operating furnace when in a sticky, porous, and crude mass, and is then subsequently melted in a separate melting furnace into cast steel, as described. Second, the employment of a bath of slag or cinder on the melting hearth into which the crude iron or metal is placed for the purpose of protecting the same from oxidation.-Patent completed.

398 J. HAY. A new method of roughing horses and of constructing horse shoes. Dated February 5, 1868.

This invention consists in forming horse shoes with female screws in the heels (and in the toes, if desired), which, in this case, are made only about half the usual depth, and tightly fitting male screws with solid square heads (made, by preference, of steel), are fixed into these female screws, so that when tightened up the head of the male screw forms, as it were, a combination or part of the heel itself; the toe-pieces of heavy shoes are, when desired, formed on the same principle. When frost sets in, and it becomes necessary to "rough" the horses, these solid-headed screws are withdrawn, and others previously formed with suitable heads to prevent the slipping of the horses are inserted in their stead.-Patent completed. 399 C. W. GUTTRIDGE. An improved apparatus for cutting soap. Dated February 6, 1868.

The apparatus is constructed of a piece of angle iron or other metal fixed to a counter, bench, or other suitable support by means of a screw and clamp. Upon this angle iron, and rising above it, are fixed two plates of iron or other suitable metal or material, divided almost through their centre perpendicularly. These plates are placed so as to form a right angle, in which the soap to be cut rests. A slip of brass or other metal with a division in the centre, and bent so as to form a half ellipse, is fixed to the plates, so that the division in the brass comes directly over the divisions in the aforesaid plates. A piece of wire fixed at one end to the angle iron passes through all the divisions. On the other end of the wire is fastened a small handle, which, when pushed forwards and pulled back wards, causes the wire to divide the soap at each stroke. An opening is made in one of the plates in a longitudinal direction in which a piece of metal is made to slide to and fro, and which may be fixed at any part of the opening with a screw and small plate of metal to regulate the size of the piece of soap to be cut off.-Patent abandoned.

400 G. ROPER. An improved screw propeller. (A communication.) Dated February 6, 1868. This invention consists of a propeller formed of screw blades mounted upon a shaft, one or more sets of such blades being fixed abaft, and the other set or sets before the rudder and sternpost, the object of this multiple arrangement being to increase the propelling power of the screw, and improve the steering qualities of the rudder.-Patent abandoned.

This improved pipe trap may be made in earthenware or metal. It is formed with four openings, two of which, for the connection of the pipes leading to and from it, are at opposite ends, and are directed horizontally. The two other openings are in the top, one on each side of the tongue or dipping part, whilst the bottom is hollowed out with an easy curvature to form the usual recess to retain water, the contact of which with the tongue forms the seal or trap. The top opening on what may be termed the drain or sewer side of the tongue is for the escape of foul air into the external atmosphere, so as to prevent accumulation of pressure which would force its way past the trap, and this opening may communicate directly with the surface or with pipes or flues carried to any height. The top opening on what may be termed the house side of the tongue gives access for thorough cleansing of the trap, and also in one modification admits fresh air by the house pipe into the house. The trap may be buried at any convenient depth below the surface, and communication with the top openings may be obtained by means of direct vertical pipes.-Patent abandoned.

405 W. E. NEWTON. Improvements in steam gauges. (A communication.) Dated February 6, 1868. This invention consists in forming a pressure gauge by combining with a suitable metallic reservoir or fountain of mercury an exterior steam chamber which surrounds it, the steam chamber having a tubular connection with the steam space of the boiler. The fountain of mercury is with a pressure scale attached thereto. The invention, attached to the lower extremity of a glass tube provided secondly, consists in forming or graduating the scale of the pressure gauge by exposing the reservoir of mercury to the action of steam at a series of temperatures due to pressures determined by a standard pressure gauge. The pressures are to be marked directly on the scale. The means of graduating the scale of pressures direct without making use of thermometric degrees reduced to pressure by the table, as heretofore suggested, obviates any liability to error, and renders the pressure gauge so obtained entirely reliable.-Patent completed.

1868.

406 J. C. COLE. Improvements in drill braces, applicable also to spanners and other like implements. Dated February 6, This invention consists in combining a metal strap and a cylinder with the handle portion of a drill brace, and either with or without springs, in such manner as to obtain a flexible and a rigid action to the parts in alternation, as also a rotary movement to the tool by the upward or downward movement of the handle.-Patent abandoned.

407 J. T. WHITE. Improvements in firelighters. Dated February 6, 1868.

This invention relates to a peculiar mode of combining or arranging firewood with a view to its more rapid and perfect combustion, and consists, essentially, in so combining or arranging any convenient number of separate pieces of firewood as that the whole shall form a species of hollow cone, wedge, or pyramid, to be used with the apex upwards. The invention is not described apart from the drawings.-Patent completed.

408 G. F. BRADBURY and T. CHADWICK. Improvements in, or applicable to, certain sewing machines. (A communication.) Dated February 6, 1868.

The object of this invention is to make the Wheeler and Wilson class of sewing machines, by a simple change, capable of producing the chain stitch with one thread, and the invention consists in the use of a ring which fits into the recess or cavity in the face of the ordinary rotating ring having a projection from one edge that passes across hook in the place which the ordinary spool occupies, this its diameter and terminates in a hook, which turns towards the ordinary rotating hook. The needle passes between the ring hook and the ordinary rotating hook. The ring hook spreads and holds back one side of the loop last 401 A. E. BORGEN.

In producing the chain stitch by the above means, the small bush which acts upon the edge of the ordinary ro tating hook is raised a little higher to hold the loop back longer than when making the lock-stitch in the same machine.-Patent completed.

The matches now in use, called safety matches, require a simple surface specially prepared in order to obtain au instant light, whereas matches made according to this invention do not require to be used with any prepared surface, and are distinguished from other matches as being "phosphor free."-Patent completed.

402 W. J. M. RANKINE and J. M. GALE. Improvements in condensing steam, and in apparatus therefor. Dated February 6, 1868.

Two condensers are employed, being either two separate vessels or one vessel divided into two parts, and both those condensers are spray condensers, that is to say, the steam is condensed by injecting cold water amidst it in the state of spray. Into one of the two condensers the

410 C. BRAKELL. Improvements in apparatus for measur ing fluids. Dated February 6, 1868.

The patentee prepares a casing with a bottom or back at one end, on which is a hollow cylindrical boss, projecting into the interior of the case. In the circumferential surface of this cylinder is a suitable opening. Through a hole in the bottom or back of the casing he brings & tube of india-rubber and canvas, or of other suitable material, and, passing it through the opening in the circumference of the cylinder, he carries it round the surface thereof until it reaches the entrance opening, where it terminates. This tube, when made of india-rubber and canvas, he vulcanizes or prepares it to suit the circle of the cylinder, so that, when it is round the cylinder, it is partly open. The tube is kept in position round the cylinder by a thin piece or strip of sheet brass or other material about half an inch broad, which passes through the inside of the tube. One end of the brass being fixed at the inlet opening within the cylinder, the other end is tightened up by means of a nut and screw, also within the cylinder, so that the inner circle of the tube is held tight on the surface of the cylinder, while the outer circle or surface is free. In the cylinder is a shaft or spindle, on which is fixed an arm, and on the extremity of each end of this arm is fixed a roller, which can revolve freely in its own bearings. This roller being pressed on the surface of the flexible tube already referred to, and water, gas, or other fluid under pressure being permitted to enter the tube, it is evident that the pressure will cause the rollers to move or roll along the surface of the tube, and so keep up a circular motion. The cylinder, tube, arms and other parts are contained in the casing, and the same is closed by a lid or cover, the water or other fluid entering at the back, and being discharged from the tube into the casing from which it is drawn off by a suitable opening in any convenient part. When this outlet is closed there is the same pressure inside the casing as there is inside the flexible tube, but, when this outlet is opened, the pressure in the tube being the greater, causes the rollers to move round. As the arm and rollers move very easily and freely, the slightest difference between the pressure in the flexible tube and that in the casing causes the rollers to move along, and the tube has practically to stand scarcely any pressure. After ascertaining the number of revolutions of the arms and rollers to pass a given quantity of water or other fluid, an index or register is easily prepared and geared with the spindle to show on a dial the quantity of fluid which the apparatus discharges from it. -Patent completed.

in which the latch is operated by two knobs, one on the
outside and the other on the inside of the door, the outside
knob being constructed in such a manner that it can be
thrown in or out of gear with the latch. The invention
also relates to certain improvements in padlocks or locks
of any ordinary construction. The said invention con-
sists, first, in arranging an adjustable screw in the end of
the spindle in such a manner that, by the said screw, the
length of the spindle and the position of the knob can be
regulated to suit the thickness of the door. Second, in
enclosing in the knob or handle the mechanism which

tion are, first. to obtain an elastic bed for the rail ends
to rest upon in a steel spring joint chair. Second, to
prevent the straining and breaking of the bolts, and to
lock the nuts. Third, to secure the spring steel keys, in
the chairs. Fourth, to add greater strength and security
to the steel spring clips for bridge rails. Fifth, to com-
bine the proposed new mode of elastic fish plate with the
ordinary joint chair, and generally to combine elasticity
with security of joints and fastenings. The first improve
ment is effected by forming a chair of a steel plate of an
uniform or a variable thickness, the ends of which are
bent over towards the centre, and then upwards to form
the jaws. The centre of the plate upon which the bottom
flange of the rail bears is arched upwards, so as to yield
slightly to the weight of the train, and at the same time
to cause the jaws to grip the rails more tightly. The
second improvement is effected by forming a fish plate of structed, whether it be a chimney, a wall, a vessel, or

somewhat tapered for an ordinary key between the rails
and chairs, such curved plate to be perforated about the
centre, and to be driven into the chair, and then attached

or more projections, or a continuous projection, on the
upper side in the centre of the bed plate of a steel spring
clip for joints of bridge rails, which projections or projec-
tion will rise into the hollow of the under-side of the rails,
so forming a kind of double clip. The fifth improvement
is effected by forming a long steel curved plate in the
manner above described, but slightly tapered for driving
between rail ends and the ordinary iron joint chair, and
this curved plate is secured to the rails on each side of the
chair by bolts and nuts, which nuts may also be locked in
the manner described.-Patent abandoned.

axis in the seat (or, if preferred, it may be turned round by means of a lever or handle, or formed like a nut and turned by a key). The plug is bored partially from each end, but these holes do not meet, so that there is no communication through the centre of the plug. At the bottom of cach hole is drilled a hole at right angles (or nearly so) to the former, and leading out through the side of the plug, so that both the passages from the ends of the plug open out at the same side of the plug and near to each other. A small portion of the metal between these two openings is then to be removed, so as at all times to leave a slight communication between the two passages. The conical seat fits closely to the plug, excepting at one place where a recess is cut in the former, in such a manner and of such a form that when the openings in the plug are opposite to the recess, the full amount of gas or other fluid can pass from one opening in the plug to the other, but, when the latter is slightly turned, the amount passing turned further, so that the openings do not come opposite to the recess, then the gas or other fluid can only pass through the slight communication above mentioned, and hence only the smallest quantity passes through the valve. Hence it will be seen that, by opening or closing this valve more or less, a continuous supply of any specific quantity can be delivered, notwithstanding that the ordinary tap may be opened to its fullest extent.-Patent completed.

428 A. PHILLIP. An improved apparatus to be employed as a combined cigar, ash, and light holder, and whist or other game marker. Dated February 8, 1868.

This improved apparatus consists of a chamber containing a movable drawer or dish for the reception of cigar or tobacco ashes, or cigar ends and used matches, the chamber being, by preference (not necessarily), situated about the centre, and over this ash dish wires or bars are placed on which to rest the cigar when not in the fingers, and against which to rub the ash from the cigar. At one end of this chamber is a box or receptacle with a lid containing lights or matches, which should be such as leave no smoke or odour after ignition, and which are lighted by friction on the internal open lid of the box. At the other end of the chamber a box is formed to contain counters for games, and the lid is perforated with small holes in certain positions for the admission of pegs to mark the game of cards being played, such as whist and similar games, and the upper edges of the sides of the apparatus from end to end are perforated as a cribbage board for marking cribbage and such games.-Patent abandoned.

447 F. BARNES and D. HANCOCK. A new or improves method of, and apparatus for, working and communicating motion to signals on railways. Dated February 10, 1868.

The essential feature in this invention is the employment of the rails themselves on which the carriages run as a medium whereby the signals are worked, and the first part of the invention consists in connecting the two poles of a battery with the two rails, the junction of the two being only completed at the time the wheels of a carriage united by their axles pass over the two rails, so that, at all times, except when a carriage or carriages is or are on the line of rails, the circuit will not be complete, but, so long as a carriage remains on them, the battery will act. Between one wire uniting one rail and the battery, the inventors place a magnet, which acts against or which is capable of acting on a lever (of course when the circuit is complete), and this lever is connected with a rod leading to the semaphore arms or other signal on a post. As soon as the wheels of an engine, truck, or carriage place the attracts the lever, which throws the signal to "danger;" so long as the carriages remain on the line the circuit will still be maintained, but, as soon as the circuit is broken, the battery will cease to act, and a weighted lever throws the signal to "clear" or "caution" as desired. This is effected, and in this the second part of the invention consists, in the following manner. At the post, or at a short distance in advance thereof if preferred, they disconnect one rail from the other, and divide, as it were, the two rails, leav

consists of 2 disc of metal having an opening in the centre, and is cast on to the inside of the case, or otherwise attached to it. One end of the case is closed by a cover, to which is fastened a tubular or solid metallic guide rod, which passes into and upon which is free to slide the hollow valve spindle before alluded to. Around the guide rod a strong spiral spring is coiled, which, by its force, keeps the valve, when at rest, close in its seat, or the valve may, when made solid, be retained in its seat by its own gravity, being loaded or otherwise for the purpose. The foregoing is a description of the valve and case attached to the gasholder, but the corresponding case and valve are constructed in a similar manner, save the case attached to the gasholder is formed with a socket, and the one attached to the supply pipe with a spigot end, hoth having flanges with screw catches thereon to main-battery in action by completing the circuit, the magnet tain them in position when in use. Around the spigot end, and abutting on the flange, a tubular india-rubber washer is placed to ensure the gas tightness of the joint. The gas may be admitted at one end of each case, but it is preferred to form a gas way at the side, as more convenient The action is the same as in those before ratented by the patentee, that is to say, almost as soon as the spigot is inserted in the faucet, the ends of the valve spindles come into contact, and, by the force imparted to them in thrusting the cases home, the valves recede from their seats and from each other, and thus open a freeing a space between them, no matter how small that space passage for the gas.-Patent completed.

may be.

As an engine, for example, approaches the junction, the signal is at "clear" (the battery not being in action), but, the instant the wheels cross the space dividing the rails, the circuit is completed, the magnet acts, and the signal is thrown to "danger." So long as the engine or train remains on these rails, so long will the signal continue at danger," but, as soon as the last wheels of the last carriage have passed over the next division in the rails, the circuit is broken, and the weighted lever is free to throw the signal to clear." Of course the distances between the divisions in the rails may be regulated according to the distance it is desired to place the signals apart, the signal acting equally well whether the distance be a quarter of a mile or ten miles.-Patent abandoned.

413 G. JESSOP and B. SENIOR. Improvements in machinery for preparing wool and offer fibrous sebstances for spinning, commonly known as the condenser carder. Dated February 10, 1868.

The inventors apply a small roller without axes, and, by preference, made of india-rubber or other elastic material, at the top angle betwixt each of the stripper card rings, supported upon or by the shaft thereof, and in contact with the card surface of the doffer, by the action of which thereon at the point of division on the said doffer cylinder, they find that the slivers or strips are produced more equal in thickness than heretofore. To prevent grease attaching to the shields of the card rings, they apply a cleaner or scraper betwixt each ring.-Patent

Improvements in combined pen and ink holders or fountain pen holders. (A communication.) Dated February 10, 1868. The object of this invention is to construct pen holders which will contain ink and supply it continuously or intermittently to the pen when in use. The body or stem of the pen holder is made tubular or hollow, and is enlarged near the top to form a reservoir for the ink. This enlargement is terininated by a neck through which the ink is introduced, and the neck is closed by a stopper. stopper may be a metal cover with a screw thread, or a cork or caoutchouc stopper, connected to a thin plate, which is kept in place by a pin passed through it and the cork. The inner end of the pin is secured by a rivet, and the outer end has a ring or button which serves for use in pulling out the stopper, or the outer end may be flush to allow the penholder to be stood with the pen upwards. The ink reservoir has a small opening to admit air for producing the flow of the ink; with this opening an ordinary cork or stopper may be used, but, if it be deemed desirable not to have the opening, the inventor employs, to close the neck, a flanged piston held in the neck by a metal plate; the air will enter the ink reservoir, but neither air nor ink can issue by the piston, the metal plate being perforated to facilitate the introduction of the air. The front or lower part of the penholder which conducts the ink to the pen, and which he calls the ejector, is constructed as follows:The continuation of the body or stem is terminated by a small tube, which receives a tubular piece of caoutchouc having the form of an elephant's trunk, or other convenient form, to bear against the inner face of the pen, it being fitted with a valve. The small tube should have just sufficient internal diameter to allow no more ink to pass than is necessary to keep the pen wet. If an intermittent flow be required, two, four, or more enlargements flow therefrom upon the application of slight pressure.-Patent abandoned.

450 A. M. CLARK. Improvements in breech-loading ordnance and projectiles. Dated (A communication.) February 10, 1863. This invention relates to breech cannon provided with a number of chambers, and also to the mode of charging the same. These cannon are intended for firing a great number of balls within a short period of time, such as grape or canister, or one chamber only may be used at a time after previously training the gun. These cannon are of simple construction, and possess, at the same time, great strength, while they may be made of any metal. size, or dimensions, the chambers being either smooth, bored, or rifled, and serve either for land or sea service for defending fortifications, vessels, and otherwise. The body of the cannon, properly so called, is formed of a solid truncated cone, bored with three, four, or other number of chambers disposed concentrically around the axis of the gun. The rear end of the gun is provided with a rotating breech-piece, by means of which the simultaneous charging of the whole of the chambers may be effected, the said breech-piece being bored to correspond with the chambers, and provided with a percussion striker for each. This breech-piece is fitted to rotate on the rear end of the gun to a certain extent, so as to first bring the openings therein opposite the chambers at the time of charging, and then the percussion strikers, to produce the discharge. When the gun is to be used for ring grape or canister, all the chambers may be discharged at one time, or successively, one after the other, without intermission, but, when it is to be used for firing single shots, the body of the gun may be rotated, so as to bring each of the chambers successively to a vertical position in readiness to be discharged after the gun is pointed, it being held in position by a spring catch. A further improvement consists in providing the tail end of the gun carriage resting on the ground with a projecting spur, intended to enter the ground more or less, in order to prevent the recoil of the gun. The spur may also be applied to any other similar description of gun.-Patent completed.

451 H. C. TUCKER. Improvements in apparatus for shearing and clipping sheep and other animals. Dated February 10, 1868.

According to these improvements the inventor provides a set of reciprocating cutters or knives at the front edge of a suitable box or case provided with a handle for holding the apparatus. Reciprocating motion is imparted to the cutters by means of a shaft mounted at right angles to the direction of the cutters, the said shaft terminating in a crank arm working in a slot formed in a projection on the reciprocating cutter bar. This shaft is partially rotated alternately in either direction by means of an escapement wheel keyed on a spindle mounted vertically in the box, and operated by a spring and train acting alternately at opposite points of its periphery on two lever projections radiating in different directions from the shaft above mentioned. The alternate partial rotary motion thus transmitted to the shaft imparts a reciprocating motion to the cutter bar above a row of fixed cutters by means of the crank arm and slot above mentioned, whereby the shearing or cutting operation is readily effected. The cutter bar is provided with slots or guides to receive screws or pins projecting from the under plate, the said screws serving to keep the cutter bar steady and true in its motion. On the cutter bar is also fixed a spring of sufficient power to regulate the action of the cutters, it being provided with a set screw for the purpose.-Patent abandoned.

452 H. SCHLOTTER. An improved method of, and apparatus for, aising water. Dated February 10, 1868.

Tae patentee claims the raising of water or other liquids by an pparatus consisting of a cylindrical or conical tube, or series of cylindrical or conical tubes, the lower open end or ends of which is or are always below the level of the water or liquid to be raised, while the upper

end or ends is or are furnished with an air tight valve, which may be either acted upon by any known mechanical movement, or may be made to play freely, and an alternate vertical up-and-down motion being imparted to the said tube or tubes in order to raise water or other liquids, in the manner set forth.-Patent completed.

453 J. TANSLEY. Improvements in apparatus for working the rollers of blinds, shutters, and maps. Dated February 10, 1868.

The object of this invention is to remove the need for cords and springs in the raising and lowering of blinds and of roller maps, and of chains in the working of coiling iron shutters, and to substitute therefore a simple and economical arrangement of mechanism which may be applied to operate the blind or shutter, or it may be two or more simultaneously. To this end the patentee employs, for the purpose of transmitting motion to the roller carrying the blind or coiling shutter, a screw spindle, somewhat like those used for hand drills, which spindle is provided with a traversing nut for giving it an axial motion that is transmitted by gearing to the roller. The invention is not fully described apart from the drawings.

454 H. A. DOBSON. An improved carriage spring. Dated February 11, 1868.

This invention consists in an improved method of constructing carriage springs. As they are now made, carriage springs are formed of several plates of spring steel secured to one another in such a manner as to permit them to give with pressure. This is, however, an expensive method, while the plates are apt to rust and get out of order. The inventor therefore uses shear steel, and constructs the springs of a single piece, tapering it as required to produce the necessary elasticity. The ends can be shaped for the requisite fastenings, whether the spring be the ordinary elliptic spring, half spring, or C spring, to all of which the improved method of construction is appli cable, being lighter, cheaper and more durable. In the case of the elliptic spring, the top and bottom of the ellipse is formed by two springs.-Patent abandoned.

455 T. J. CLANCHY. Improvements in matches and fusees. Dated February 11, 1868.

Here the inventors form on one shaft or stem a combined match and fusee, the fusee head being at one end of the stem, and the match head, which would set flame to the stem, at the other end, so that a person who occasionally required both descriptions of light would be supplied with them without carrying two sets or boxes of lights, one for use in exposed situations, and the other for indoor use, or wherever a steady flame would be required. By this arrangement also the shaft or stem of the fusee is utilized, and instead of being thrown away uselessly is consumed in flame.-Patent abandoned.

And, secondly, the arrangement of parts described, adapted for adjusting the exhibition of particular numbers, as may be r ired. -Patent completed.

requ 457 C. M. HOLLAND. Improvements in the construction of the permanent way of railways and tramways. Dated February 11; 1868.

The object of this invention is to form a road more equable, durable, and elastic than has hitherto been obtained. For this purpose the inventor constructs a longitudinal wrought-iron sleeper or bearing plate of such a breadth, thickness, and form as to rest conveniently upon the ballast, and to support the rail which rests or is affixed upon it. The upper side of the bearing plate is formed with a longitudinal groove or socket in which the rail rests. This rail he prefers to make of steel, although iron, or iron steelifled, may be used. In the said socket or groove he places some elastic material, such as indiarubber, felt, leather, wood, or other elastic material, so as to form bed for the rail. The rail may be of any convenient form, but it is so constructed as to fit in the

socket, and it is held in position upon the bearing plate by means of chairs or clips resting upon or affixed to the bearing plates. He prefers the shape of the rail to be such that the inner angles between the beam of the rail and the head or base shall form a right angle, so that the fish plate joints may have a better hold, and not be liable to slip out, as is the case with the fish plates hitherto in use; the fish plates are also made to fit more closely by the form adopted being concave towards the rail, and thereby allowing an expansion of the plates when drawn together by the bolts. At convenient distances there are tie bars of any desired form to keep the rails at the proper gauge, and also to assist in supporting the position of the rails. The tie bars may be connected either solely to the rails, or solely to the bearing plates, or to both rails and bearing plates. The invention is not fully described apart from the drawings.-Patent abandoned.

458 J. W. MELLING. Improvements in machinery for cutting or excavating coal and other minerals, Dated February 11, 1868.

This invention is particularly applicable to that kind of machinery where a cylinder with piston and rod actuated by compressed air, steam, or other fluid are employed to give a reciprocating motion to a tool or tools that pare off or slot away the coal or other mineral, and form a groove or grooves, or cuttings, in the face or ends of the coal or other mineral. The first part of the invention consists in employing. (in addition to the usual means of regulating the to-and-fro motions of the pistons in the cylinder), a tap, valve, or other means for enlarging or contracting the size of the outlet, or exhaust port, or pipe, to control the speed at which the air, steam, or other fluid shall escape after having done its work in the cylinder, and to control the speed of the piston, and also to prevent the piston striking ths end of the cylinder. The second part of the invention consists, where it is desired to operate at or near the floor of the mine, in placing the piston rod eccentrically to the piston, so that the centre of the piston rod can be brought in line with or near the centre of the tool or tools. The third part of this invention consists in connecting the tool or tools to the slide blocks, so that on the return stroke they may fall away from the face of the coal or other mineral, also in attaching the tool or tools to the upper or lower part of the movable slide block, to vary the height of the cut from the floor of the mine. The fourth part of the invention consists in employing (in addition to the ordinary wheels used to support or carry the machine when at work), a second set of wheels that can be raised or de

pressed at pleasure. The last part of the invention consists (where strict economy in the motive power is required), in arranging that a portion of the air or other fluid may be used a second time to perform the return stroke, after it has produced the outward or cutting stroke. -Patent completed.

459 C. and L. VERHULST. Improvements in the arrangement and construction of fireplaces. (A communication.) Dated February 11, 1868.

This invention consists in bringing the firegrate forward into the apartment to be warmed, and in applying thereto a moveable hood or apparatus to prevent the escape of smoke; also in an improved valve, or damper, for regulating the orifice between the firegrate and the chimney. The whole firegrate is made to project beyond the line of the chimney-piece, so that the warmth may be distributed in the apartment more advantageously than heretofore, and the hood is constructed so as to cover the firegrate, or partially cover it, or leave it entirely uncovered, as may be found necessary. The hood is supported on inclined rails, and it is counterbalanced by a weight passing over guide pulleys, the position of the hood being regulated by a handle projecting through the front of the chimney-piece. The valve or damper to regulate the draught consists of a swivel plate provided with counter-weights, and its position is also regulated by a handle passing through the front of the chimney-piece.-Patent completed.

end of the machine, and the heat is made to travel along the bottom of the inner tube, and back again along the sides and top, the smoke escaping by a chimney. Within the inner tube either a screen or screens are fixed, having a reciprocating motion imparted thereto by wheels and cranks; or a circular cylinder is made to revolve having a spiral screw inside on which the grain is made to travel from one end of the machine to the other, whilst the heat is operating upon it. It then falls into coolers made to revolve attached to each side of the machine, each cooler having a spiral screw inside by which the grain is again carried to the other end of the machine, where it falls into sacks. These coolers are made to clean the grain whilst in its progress to the sacks by leaving spaces in the wire covering to admit of the small grain seeds and dust to pass through.-Patent abandoned.

Taking, for example, an ordinary internal-flued boiler, the patentee uses a double bridge, a moderate space, say, of eighteen or twenty-four inches, more or less, intervening, and re-adınits air to such space by means of an ordinary trap door or doors in the front bridge. Over the two bridges is mounted a saddle of "baked" clay, or firebrick (made for convenience in halves), causing the upper portion to fit the flue at the ends (allowance being made for expansion), but being hollowed out in the centre, and communicating at the sides with the air space between the two bridges. Throughout the length also of the saddle" runs an internal flue in the form of a quadrant at the ends, but having internally a serpentine or saddle formation. From this flue downwards to the bottom of the "saddle" are air communications with the space between the bridges, and also from it are air communications upwards with the centre hollow before referred to. The operation of this arrangement is that the flame passing from the fire through the "saddle" flue mingles with air received from the downward communications with the space between the bridges, as well as with air from the same space which passes between the external centre of the saddle and the flue. and descends the upward communication.-Patent completed.
