No. 20144.—2nd October, 1905.—BRAINARD CLARK, of Florence Glen, Holmwood Street, Newtown, near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Engineer and Manufacturer. Improved process for preserving meat.

Claims.—(1.) In a process for preserving meat—first, making an extract of meat from any suitable source, then cooking properly prepared meat in the previously prepared extract, and packing the thus cooked meat while hot, as specified. (2.) In a process for preserving meat—first, making an extract of meat from any suitable source; second, selecting certain parts of a carcase of meat and cooking the selected parts in the previously prepared extract; third, boiling down the rejected parts of a carcase until a meat-extract is obtained, and adding the meat-extract thus obtained to the meat-extract in which the selected parts of the carcase have been cooked, as and for the purposes set forth. (3.) In a process for preserving meat, cooking fresh meat in extract of meat which has been obtained from similar or kindred flesh, thereby saturating the meat which is in process of being cooked with additional meat-juices, as specified. (4.) In a process of preserving meat, cooking fresh meat in extract of meat which has been obtained from rejected but sound parts of the same carcases as are being cooked, such meat-extract being a preservative which will impregnate the meat while it is being cooked, and thus maintain it in a sound condition for a considerable period, as set forth.

No. 20149.—6th October, 1905.—VICTOR CHARLES JOHN NIGHTINGALL, of 265A, Post Office Place, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Electrical Engineer. Improvements in and relating to controllers for use in connection with the ignition and extinction of gas-burners.

Extract from Specification.—The object of my invention is to provide means to cheaply and effectively control the ignition and extinction of a gas burner or burners of any description that are ignited by means of a pilot flame, platinum, or like means. My invention, which accomplishes its end by the means described, is particularly adapted for igniting or extinguishing burners surrounded by incandescent mantles or hoods, and may be operated from any point, over any distance, and so situated as to control any number of burners, either individually or simultaneously. My invention can be fitted to existing gaslight fittings at but slight additional expense, and is operated from any source of electric energy, which may consist of a battery in use for other purposes. If necessary, however, a special battery may be employed. My invention is applicable, moreover, not only for controlling the illumination of household or other buildings, but also for street or train lighting and other purposes. In the past various devices have been employed to automatically ignite gas-burners either individually or simultaneously, but they have been inefficient in operation, and, in addition, have been costly of installation and maintenance.

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

No. 20161.—12th October, 1905.—WILLIAM ANDERSON, Jun., of 78, Harris Street, Pyrmont, near Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, Blacksmith. Improved mode of and apparatus for supplying liquid fuel to furnaces.

Extract from Specification.—An auxiliary steam-generator supplies steam for primary purposes; a portion of this steam operates a pump, and another portion mixes with the liquid fuel. The pump draws the fuel from a tank or reservoir and forces it into an accumulator provided with an auxiliary hand-pump adapted to supply air to the accumulator. From the accumulator the fuel passes to a mixing-chamber, where it is mixed with steam from the auxiliary generator, thence to a retort or superheater within the furnace, and thence to the burner or burners. Provision is made, intermediately between the accumulator and the mixing-chamber, to return surplus oil or liquid fuel to the tank whence it originally issued.

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

No. 20163.—12th October, 1905.—HENRY SAMUEL WILLIAM PALMER, of Waverley House, Mayes Road, Wood Green, London, England, Tea-buyer; and ROWLAND VALENTINE WEBSTER, of 12, Fenchurch Street, London, England, Tea-merchant. Improved tea-preparation.

Claims.—(1.) Tea blended with shredded, rolled, or flaked malt “fired” substantially in the manner described. (2.) The process of shredding, rolling, or flaking and “firing” malt and mixing it with tea for the purposes and substantially as described. (3.) The use of a tea-preparation consisting of malt and tea prepared substantially in the manner and for the purposes described. (Specification, 1s. 3d.)

No. 20166.—20th October, 1904.—JAMES ROBINSON HATMAKER, of No. 25, Rue de la Faisanderie, Paris, France, Gentleman. Cacao, sugar, and milk compound in dry, flaky form, and process for making same.

[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.) Dry homogeneous compounds of cacao, sugar, and milk in light, flaky form obtained by drying liquid solutions of cacao, sugar, and milk, substantially as described. (2.) The described process for obtaining dry homogeneous compounds of cacao, sugar, and milk in light, flaky form, which consists in first preparing a liquid solution of those substances and in then drying such solution by exposing it in a thin film for a limited time to a temperature in excess of 212° F., substantially as described. (Specification, 3s. 6d.)

No. 20167.—11th October, 1904.—JAMES ROBINSON HATMAKER, of No. 25, Rue de la Faisanderie, Paris, France, Gentleman. Improvements in process of obtaining milk-sugar and casein from milk.

[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 described process of obtaining milk-sugar and casein, as described, from milk, which consists in first drying milk to obtain dry milk the casein portion of which is insoluble in water, and in then adding water to the dry product to dissolve its milk-sugar, and in then separating the solution formed from the casein residue. (2.) The described process of obtaining milk-sugar and casein from dry-separated milk the casein of which is insoluble in water, which consists in adding water to the said dry milk and dissolving its milk-sugar, and then separating the solution of milk-sugar from the casein remaining. (3.) The described process of obtaining a concentrated solution of milk-sugar from milk, which consists in evaporating the water of natural liquid milk so that its casein will be rendered insoluble, and in then dissolving the milk-sugar contained in the dry product by adding necessary water, and in then separating the solution of milk-sugar from the insoluble casein. (4.) The described process of obtaining casein in insoluble form from milk, which consists in evaporating the water from natural milk so that its casein will be rendered insoluble, and in then suitably dissolving out the milk-sugar from the said dry product obtained.
