Claims.—(1.) The general arrangement, construction, and combination of parts constituting my improvements relating to plough-coulters, substantially as described and illustrated. (2.) In a plough, a cutting-plate secured vertically in the forward part of the share so as to constitute a coulter, as and for the purpose specified. (3.) In a plough, a cutting-plate secured vertically in the forward part of the share so as to act as a coulter, in combination with a ridge as 5 formed in the share and inclining upwards towards the cutting edge of the coulter, as described and shown.

No. 19891.—17th August, 1905.—THOMAS FREDERICK BROWN, of 4, Linda Street, Coburg, Victoria, Australia, Manufacturer, DAVID SOLOMON, of 49, Elizabeth Street, Melbourne, Victoria, aforesaid, General Agent, and JOSEPH SOLOMON, of 49, Elizabeth Street aforesaid, General Agent. Interlocked studless house.*

Extracts from Specification.—The floor is formed with small strips of wood joined together sideways with nails, screws, or glue, forming one whole piece, thus requiring less joists. . . . The walls are so constructed that they require no studs, being laid together with lateral pieces of wood, together with pieces of wood of the same size placed at right angles from the lateral pieces, which form an ideal plaster-bed, and is then plastered. . . . The roof is constructed with or without rafters; if with rafters, in the usual way; if without rafters, by making a framework of 3 in. by 1 in. or any suitable size, divided by suitable size blocks at intervals of from 15 in., or more or less, as required, the whole being placed on wall-plates and overlaid with asphalt.

No. 19925.—23rd August, 1905.—ALFRED TAYLOR, of 43, First Street, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Mechanical Engineer, JOHN MOUNT LANGLEY, of 223, Fort Street, Victoria aforesaid, Chief of Police, and NATHANIEL ANDREW McDOWELL, of 94, Superior Street, Victoria aforesaid, Dray Proprietor. Automatic fire-alarms.

Extract from Specification.—In these drawings 2 represents a shallow cylindrical metallic vessel, within which is hermetically sealed a volatile material which at the desired limit of temperature will afford the necessary expansion to effect the purpose. The ends 3 of this chamber 2 are edge-bound to a sufficient extent to impart a slight convexity to them (the amount of which is exaggerated in the drawing), and this convexity under normal conditions is directed inward, as shown by the full lines in the drawing; but when a pressure sufficient to overcome the edge-tension of the ends is generated within the chamber by the volatilisation of the material therein the convexity of the ends will be bulged or forced outward and the axial length of the chamber increased, as indicated by dot-and-dash lines in Fig. 1.

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