COMPLETE specifications relating to the undermentioned applications for Letters Patent have been accepted, and are open to public inspection at this office.

No. 17379. — 16th December, 1903. — WILLIAM JOSEPH SELLARS, of 14, Salisbury Street, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand, Fitter. Improved apparatus for manufacturing skewers, spiles, and the like.*

Extract from Specification.—The wood to be converted into the skewers or spiles is passed between rollers and cut by circular saws into a plurality of rectangular strips, which pass along grooves or guides to a pair of feed-rollers, by which they are conducted to revolving tubes containing cutters, by which the wood is turned. The tubes are revolved by belts passing around pulleys upon the tubes and around a driving-pulley upon the main shaft of the machine, from which all the other revolving parts of the apparatus are driven. From the tubes the turned wood passes beneath other feed-rollers to conical revolving cutter-dies, by which the wood is pointed, and simultaneously circular saws are caused by eccentrics to rise and cut through the wood at the length required, the finished article falling into a receptacle placed for the purpose. The feed-rollers are driven by bevel gearing or the like, and the eccentrics are upon a spindle driven from the main shaft referred to.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 17496.—25th January, 1904.—CHRISTOPHE SOULAS, of Jerusalem, Wanganui, Wellington, New Zealand, Priest. Improvements in and relating to telescopes.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to telescopes used for making astronomical observations, and the object of the invention is to provide an instrument of greatly increased power and of light weight. I use the usual lens or lenses in the eye-piece and object ends of the instrument, but instead of connecting these ends by the usual tube, I dispense with the intermediate part of such tube and have short lengths only at each end. The object end is thus fixed upon a mounting independent of the eye-piece end. It is necessary in using my instrument that the two ends thereof should be co-axial, and I provide means for effecting this relationship, or, in other words, for causing the focus of the objective lens to fall on the eye-piece lens. For this purpose I mount a powerful lamp upon each end of the instrument and a small telescope having fine crossed lines upon its object-glass. The light from the lamps is either reflected by a lens or by a mirror in such a manner that the light can be seen through a small tube from the other end of the instrument. The ends of the instrument are brought into co-axial relationship by bringing the small telescopes to bear upon the light of the lamps shining through the small tubes.

[NOTE. The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 17629.—7th March, 1904.—JAMES BRAKE, of Durham Street, Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand, Livery-stable Proprietor. Improved means for attaching breeching-straps to the shafts of vehicles.*

For the purpose indicated, in combination with a breeching-strap, a ring attached to the end of the breeching-strap, hooks having rounded rear parts and fixed to the shafts of a vehicle and receiving the said rings, and springs closing the forward ends of the hooks, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (3.) The combination and arrangement of parts comprising the improved means for attaching breeching-straps to the shafts of vehicles, substantially as and for the purposes set forth, and illustrated on the drawing.
