No. 12014.—2nd February, 1899.—ALPHONSE DENAEYER, f 3, Place Liedts, Brussels, Belgium, Chemist. Improved manufacture of cocoa, chocolate, or other alimentary substances with milk, and apparatus therefor.
[NOTE.—This is an application under section 106 of the Act, the date given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Claims.—(1.) The process for producing compounds of alimentary substances mixed with milk, and in particular compounds of cocoa and chocolate, which consists in first partially evaporating the aqueous constituents from a charge of milk, and, after mixing therewith the cocoa, chocolate, or other alimentary substance, subjecting the mass to evaporation to dryness by heating it in vacuo or under exhaust, substantially as described. (2.) In a manufacture of compounds of cocoa and chocolate with milk produced by first subjecting a mixture of milk and sugar to partial evaporation under continual stirring, then mixing the powdered cocoa or chocolate therewith, then subjecting the mixture to complete evaporation in a heated apparatus subject to vacuum or exhaust, and finally desiccating the dried mass in a desiccating-apparatus, also under vacuum or exhaust, substantially as described. (3.) For carrying out the process referred to in the first and second claims, the combination with a preliminary evaporating-pan with stirring-device such as is described with reference to Fig. 1, firstly, of a vacuum evaporating-apparatus consisting of a column-shaped vacuum evaporating-vessel such as b', surrounded by a jacket such as a', containing a heating coil such as c', and filled with paraffin or other suitable liquid, the vessel b' serving to contain a number of superposed open pans v', v', containing the compound to be evaporated, and having handles w', w', serving as supports for the pan above, the evaporating-column being closed at top by a removable cover d, which is connected by a pipe h' with a condensing-apparatus such as p', with reservoir r' communicating with an exhaust-pump, such as is described with reference to Fig. 2; and, secondly, of a desiccating-apparatus such as described with reference to Fig. 3; the said combined apparatus being arranged and operating as described with reference to the drawings.

No. 12146.—1st November, 1899.—DENNIS WILLIAM COTTON, Miner, and JULIUS FREDRICK WILLIAM HENRY SCHADICK, Surveyor, both of Westport, New Zealand. A quicksilver-injector.

Extract from Specification.—The quicksilver-injector consists of a metal cylinder, open in the bottom, and with a sharp lower edge. A strong cylindrical socket is joined to the top of the cylinder. A hole extends through socket and top of cylinder. The inner side of the socket has a screw-thread. Transversely through the socket extends a hole into which a screw-tap fits; the latter has a small transverse hole. Into the top of the socket screws a tube with a funnel top. This apparatus is designed to act on the principle of the hydrostatic paradox. It provides a simple but efficient way to inject quicksilver into wooden blocks. To do this, place the apparatus with the open end of the cylinder on a block the grain of which is in a perpendicular position, pour the quicksilver down the tube, the screw-tap being open, until sufficient pressure is caused to drive the quicksilver through the pores of the wood.

Claims.—The described appliance for injecting quicksilver into wooden blocks for the purpose set forth, and utilising hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure as the agent.
