(2.) In apparatus for treating flax, a rotating disc mounted in a horizontal plane beneath the stripper, in combination with a fan or blower from which a pipe leads to above the face of the disc, such fan or blower being adapted to deliver a blast of air or water on to the disc, substantially as specified. (3.) In apparatus for treating flax, a washing-table, a pipe extending across above such table and provided with nozzle openings projecting downwards therefrom on to the table, means whereby the pipe may be given a reciprocatory rotatory movement, and means for leading a stream of water through the pipe, substantially as set forth.

Claims.—(1.) The described dry milk, obtained by drying liquid milk the albuminous portion of which has been changed from albumen to albumose. (2.) Dry products obtained by drying mixtures of substances other than milk and liquid milk the albuminous portion of which has been changed from albumen to albumose. (3.) Dry milk-albumen in the form of albumose, obtained by drying a solution of milk-albumen that has been changed to albumose. (4.) Dry products obtained by drying liquid mixtures of milk-albumen that has been changed to albumose, and fat and (or) other substance or substances.

No. 19117.—22nd February, 1905.—WALTER B. DEVEREUX, of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, United States of America, Mining Engineer. Agitating-apparatus.

Extract from Specification.—My invention relates to an improvement in agitating-devices which are intended to keep liquids or liquids with solid particles in agitation, in processes such as the cyanidation of gold and silver ores, leaching of ores, and other similar metallurgical processes, and the object of the invention is to afford a similar mechanical device requiring a small amount of power for its operation. The invention consists, broadly, in appliances in which such liquids or liquids with solid particles are (1) agitated, then (2) settled, and finally (3) decanted. The invention consists primarily in combining with a tank a propeller, or a propeller pump, or other mechanical equivalent of the ordinary marine propeller, rotating within the tank at such a depth that the solid particles after settling will not interfere with the starting of the propeller, with a series of radial diaphragms placed vertically within the tank, preferably in the manner hereinafter indicated, so constructed that the liquids or liquids with solid particles contained therein to pass freely through, around, and under them, the purpose of which diaphragms is to prevent rotation of the material in the tank when being agitated without subdividing the tank into separate or independent compartments.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 19122.—5th December, 1904.—THOMAS HENRY WOOTTON, of Mailer Street, Mornington, Dunedin, New Zealand, Salesman. Improved combined electric belt and generator.

Claims.—(1.) For the purpose specified, in combination, a belt, electrodes attached to the belt, and a generator consisting of a cell, a coil, terminals, and wires, substantially as set forth. (2.) For the purpose specified, in combination, a belt, ball-and-socket attachments upon the belt, electrodes secured to the belt by the ball-and-socket attachments, and a generator consisting of a cell, a coil having a regulating tube, terminals, and wires, substantially as set forth. (3.) For the purpose specified, in combination, a belt, loops attached to the ends of the belt, an elastic band passed through the loops, clips for adjusting the length of the band, terminals secured to the belt, electrodes attached to the back of the belt, other electrodes laterally adjustable upon the elastic band, and a generator for supplying an electric current to the electrodes, substantially as set forth. (4.) For the purpose specified, in combination, a belt consisting of a band of webbing, a casing of silk, and of wool stuffing between the webbing and silk, a terminal upon the belt for receiving a current of electricity from a generator, electrodes attached to the back of the belt and connected by a wire to the terminal, other electrodes upon the front of the belt, another terminal upon the belt connected to the electrodes on the front of the belt, and means for treating various parts of the patient’s body with electricity taken from the last-mentioned terminal, substantially as set forth. (5.) The combination and arrangement of parts comprising the improved combined electric belt and generator, substantially as and for the purpose set forth, and illustrated upon the drawing.
(Specification, 3s. 3d.; drawing, 1s.)

No 19124.—23rd February, 1905.—ANGUS BEATON, of Barrington, New South Wales, Australia, Farm-labourer. An automatic judger for judging foot-runners.

Claims.—(1.) An automatic judger for judging foot-runners, comprising, in combination, a batten mounted upon a stand, which is adapted to be raised and lowered, together with raise and lower device and flag-staff, said batten having fastened thereon four metal standards, each metal standard containing a signal-arm which is pivoted to the front of the said metal standard and adapted to be drawn up by a spiral spring which is attached to the top of the said metal standard and connected to the said signal-arm socket, and two slides which are adapted to slide, the one to move the other, being actuated by a spiral spring attached to the said metal standard and connected to the top of the said slide (D), together with a connecting-wire (steel wire preferred) which passes through the said metal standards, said connecting-wire having fixed thereon four stops, along with the spiral springs which keep the said slides against the stops, the spiral compression-spring, and means for keeping said springs in their place, together with (if preferred) the indicators, which are adapted to rise and fall, and means for working the said indicators, as described.
