By this arrangement the tub in which the flour is placed turns on a vertical axis, and successively brings all parts of the dough on one side to the scrapers, which separate it, and to the first set of beaters or blades which cut and mix it, and on the other side to the helical blades which raise it and then let it fall.-Patent abandoned. 487 W. E. DEVERNA. A new or improved fastener applicable as a substitute for buckles and such like purposes. Dated February 13, 1868. This fastener consists of a plate or frame of metal, having two side pieces attached thereto; one end of the plate is turned up, and two openings or spaces are cut out of such end, the division between the two spaces forming a bar around which the strap or band is attached, the upper space serving to receive the other end or tab of the strap or band; the sides are prolonged beyond the plate, and contain a roller having a series of divisions or fluted spaces with angular ribs or projections between them; the tab of the strap or band is to be passed through the space between the plate and roller, and drawn upwards and above the upper part of the plate, and, finally, through the aperture in the curved end of the plate. Within the side pieces a flat finger plate is hinged, and provided with a spring at the end nearest the curved end of the under plate on which the spring bears. The other end of the spring plate comes sufficiently near the roller to keep the strap or band in contact with the roller; thus, when the strap or band is passed through the fastener, it will be impossible to loosen or withdraw it until the spring plate is tilted by pressure of the finger, so as to increase the space between it and the roller, and until this is done, the tighter the strap or band becomes pulled the firmer it becomes fastened.-Patent completed. 488 J. WOOD. Improvements in indicating the position of railway points, and in the apparatus or means employed therefor. Dated February 13, 1868. This invention relates to certain new and improved means for indicating the position of railway points, and consists in using a bar or rod which passes through suitable holes formed in the rails and movable points; the bar or rod is not fixed to either the rails or the points, but at one end a head is formed, or a nut is placed on it, to enable the point to pull back the bar or rod as the points return to their fixed position; its opposite end is connected to one arm of a bell crank lever fixed upon the indicator post, or in any other convenient position, the other arm of a bell crank lever being coupled to a rod which is again attached to the lever which actuates the indicator itself. When an engine or train is passing over the points, the action or blow of the wheels on opening them is not communicated directly to the indicator, for the reason that the rod before referred to is not rigidly fixed to them; immediately, however, the points are free to move, a spring or weight attached to one of the levers before referred to comes into action and draws the indicator into position, so that the signalmen at the semaphore signal box, or engine driver, may know when the train has passed. If the points are properly closed, in this way no shock is directly communicated to the indicating mechanism by the train on passing the points.-Patent abandoned. 489 C. BLYTH.

This invention consists of the following three parts:First, the handle stock, case back, or containing part of the brush, which is made of wood, ivory, bone, horn, indiarubber, leather, metal, or any other substance suitable for the purpose. Second, this stock or handle receives the elastic or brushing matter, which the inventor terms the "weft" of the brush, and which constitutes the active portion of the brush. This weft is selected from the following animal, vegetable, and mineral matters, such as horse hair, gutta-percha, sorgho, vulcanized india-rubber, metallic wire, or any capillary or ductile matter suited for the purpose. Third, these matters, which form, as it were, the weft, are fixed or bound by means of a "warp' or texture which is made up of thread, twine, or wire, such as hemp, flax, cotton, silk, iron, copper, brass, or other pliable matters. The object of this invention is, therefore, to weave or interlace together the three parts aforementioned, constituting a brush, by means of selfacting mechanical processes for effecting this texture.Patent completed. 1868. of candles in such a manner that they shall readily fit the abandoned. 493 W.

Dated February 15, 1868. The form of this apparatus will depend greatly upon the ground available for its reception, but where circumstances are favourable the inventors prefer the following arrangement. At a suitable level with respect to the adjacent road level, they construct two or more rectangular tanks of any required dimensions to receive the slop direct from the scavengers' carts. These tanks they build side by side, or end to end, but provide a space between to allow free access for workmen all round the tanks. These tanks they build of bricks so laid that the walls will present a reticulated appearance from top to bottom, or nearly so. These tanks they surround with a solid wall, and there is thus formed around and between the tanks passages of a depth equal (say) to that of the reticulated walls, and of a width sufficient to make it accessible at all parts to workmen. These passages are intended to form channels for or receivers of the filtering water, and they cover them with York paving, or otherwise, and sink their floor below the level of the tanks to facilitate the deposit of sediment therein. In order to strengthen the walls of the tanks, they throw at intervals brick arches from the solid to the reticulated walls. Inside the tanks they apply a filtering substance composed, by preference, of hurdles enclosing a layer of straw, and forming therewith a porous lining to the sides and ends of the tanks. The channels or water receivers they connect with a surrounding or adjacent water main by means of branch pipes leading from the channels and passing through the walls of solid brickwork; and the water main they connect with a water tank, from which a pipe will lead off the water to the main sewer or other receptacle.-Patent abandoned. 511 E.

Dated February 18, 1868. The object of this invenfion is to prevent the nuts turning, and so to save the cost of the superintendence which is now necessary. For this purpose, each bolt is filed or formed flat on one or more sides at the part where the screw thread is cut, and the screw nuts are each formed with a mortise or key way into which, when the nut is screwed home, a taper key is driven, and this bearing against the flattened side of the bolt effectually prevents the nut turning upon it. Or the nut may have a notch cut in it on one side extending down into the bolt-hole in the nut; this notch is wider at the bottom than the top, so that a key or wedge of corresponding form driven into it endwise, or in a direction at right angles to a radius of the bolt-hole in the nut, cannot escape outwards from the notch, and the key or wedge locks the bolt and nut together, as in the former case, the key or wedge bearing against a flattened side of the bolt. In either arrange ment the key or wedge may be split in its smaller end and opened out when it has been driven to prevent its return.-Patent completed. 538 A. M. KEIGHLEY.

WEILD. Improvements in the process of treating sewing threads to prepare, starch, dress, polish, and wind the same, and in some of the machinery to be employed therein. Dated February 18, 1868. The object here is to save labour and waste of material in the operations of bleaching, dyeing, starching, dressing and winding sewing thread. The speciflcation of the invention is too voluminous to be quoted here at sufficient length for an intelligible abstract.-Patent completed. 545 J. KIRKLAND. Improvements in the construction of This invention consists, first, in placing the suction and discharge valves on the same spindle or rod, the distance between them corresponding to the distance between their respective seatings. The said seatings are formed in a valve chamber communicating with the suction pipe or pipes and the working barrel. The suction valve is made smaller than the discharge valve, or part of the discharge valve scating is movable, so that the spindle and both of the valves can be easily withdrawn in one piece. Second, in the employment of a chamber in communication with the working barrel from which two or more suction pipes are led away to any desired places or place. In a ship's pump, five suctions could be conveniently led away on to each side of the keelson, one to the starboard, and another to the port bilge, and a fifth to the sea. The said chamber or the upper ends of the suction pipes is or are fitted with valves or plugs attached to stems or otherwise, so that communication can be established or cut off between any place or places at pleasure. These valves or plugs are with a removable or lifting cover.-Patent completed. rendered easily accessible by providing the said chamber 546 E. WRIGHT. Improvements in self-acting means or apparatus applicable to steam boiler and other furnaces for the consumption or prevention of smoke. Dated February 19 1868. This apparatus consists of a cylinder attached to the front of the boiler, or otherwise to the front part of the furnace, such cylinders having a piston valve or bucket therein, to which is attached a rod passing through a stuffing box in the cylinder cover, and connected to a lever hinged to the front of boiler or furnace. A pipe connects the two ends of the cylinder, and a tap is introduced into the pipe to stop or regulate the passage of water supplied to the cylinder. Attached to one end of in the steam pipe, and to the other end is a chain conthe lever is a rod which is connected to the lever of a tap nected to the air valves or doors hinged in an opening of the furnace door, To the furnace door is hinged a rod connected to a lever, which, when the furnace door is opened, actuates a cam or another lever for operating or lifting the first-named lever, and also for pressing the Piston or bucket to the bottom of the cylinder. A weight or spring is applied to the first-named lever, which gradually acts on the valve or bucket to raise it as the water passes through the pipe to the other end of the cylinder, according as the tap therein is opened more or less to allow or admit its passage, so that when the furnace door is opened for the charge of fuel, or breaking up of the fire. the steam pipes or jets are opened to inject steam into the furnace, and also the air valves or doors are opened to admit air to the furnace, and when the furnace is closed, the lever acting on the piston gradually closes the steam pipe, shutting off the steam jets, and also closes the air valves, excluding the air until the furnace door is again opened.-Patent abandoned.
