proportion) with the delivery of, and so as to be mixed with,
aerated water, for use in apparatus of the character referred
to, wherein each said valve has each of the double pistons
formed with a leather bucket, having located within same a
rubber ring which is expanded radially by adjusting means
such as the screw nut 65 acting on the conical washers 67
and 68 to thereby expand the leather bucket equally all
round against the inside wall of the valve cylinder 70.
(5.) Apparatus for the manufacture of aerated water and for
producing a variety of mixed aerated beverages, which are
mixed while in the act of delivering each respective bever-
age, constructed, combined, and arranged to act substan-
tially in the manner and for the purposes described
with reference to and as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 13 and
17 to 19 of the drawings. (6.) Apparatus for the manufacture
of aerated water and for producing a variety of mixed
aerated beverages, which are mixed while in the act of deliver-
ing each respective beverage, constructed, combined, and
arranged to act with the modified snifting device illustrated
in Figs. 14 to 16 of the drawings.

No. 20350.—22nd November, 1905.—JOHN RUTHERFORD
PARK, of 55, Lambton Quay, Wellington, New Zealand,
Registered Patent Agent (nominee of Lon A. Bond, of
Logansport, Indiana, United States of America, Manufac-
turer). Waterproof fabric, and method of making the
same.

Claims.—(1.) The described method of making waterproof
fabric, which consists in saturating the fabric with molten
highly fluid asphalt of a high degree of purity, to impregnate
the fibres and fill out the pores between them, and then dry-
ing the saturated fabric. (2.) The method of waterproofing
textile fabric according to claiming clause 1, and in addition
thereto applying to the surface of the fabric a drying powder
and then polishing the surface. (3.) As a new article of
manufacture, waterproof fabric in which the fibres of the
fabric are saturated, and the pores between the fibres are
filled, with asphalt.

No. 20351.—22nd November, 1905.—ROBERT GEORGE
GIBBONS, of 79, Pitt Street, Sydney, New South Wales,
Australia, Mining Agent (assignee of Parnell Rabbidge, of
70, Water's Road, Neutral Bay, near Sydney aforesaid,
Electrician). An improved dynamo electric generator.

Extract from Specification.—In giving effect to this inven-
tion, I interpose rings or discs of iron, or of any other suit-
able magnetic conductor, between the revolving armature
conductor and the stationary field. These rings or discs are
adapted to revolve with the armature, and are magnetised by
coils of wire that carry a current of electricity in a direction
which will induce magnetic poles in the revolving rings of a
polarity opposite to that induced by the stationary field.
These rings or discs thus become the nearest magnetic field
to the armature conductors. Instead, now, of the armature
conductors dragging on to the nearest stationary field, the
drag will take place on to the rings or discs, and as the rings
or discs revolve with the armature, they would, as a result,
intercept the drag between the armature and the stationary
field. In the present type of machine this drag greatly
retards the motion of the armature.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted
in place of the claims.]

Gracechurch Street, London, England, Manufacturers
(assignees of George Hunter Robinson, of 15, Manisforth
Terrace, Sunderland, Durham, England, Engineer). Im-
provements in packings for rods and plungers.

Extract from Specification.—The packing according to this
invention is of spiral form, and is adapted to be adjusted to
or in relation to the rod or part to be packed, by winding or
pulling on, by mechanical means, one or both ends, or a
suitable part or parts of the packing, and it comprises a
portion or part which presses on the surface of the rod or
part to be packed and a band, cord, chain, spiral spring, or
the like, in connection with the said former part, by means
of which the actual tension on, or support to, and adjustment
of the packing in relation to the part in connection with
which it works is effected.

No. 20359.—23rd November, 1905.—JAMES ROBINSON
HATMAKER, of No. 25, Rue de la Faisanderie, Paris, France,
Gentleman. Dry compound of coffee and milk (with or
without sugar), and process for making same.

Claims.—(1.) Dry homogeneous compounds of milk and
coffee-extract (with or without sugar or other substances)
in light flaky form, obtained substantially as described.
(2.) The process of obtaining homogeneous compounds of
milk and coffee-extract (with or without sugar or other
substances) in light dry flaky form, which consists in first
preparing a liquid mixture of milk and coffee-extract
(with or without the addition of sugar or other substances)
and in then drying it rapidly by suitably exposing it for a
limited time to a temperature in excess of 212° F., sub-
stantially as described in the specification of letters patent
of New Zealand, No. 16287.

tracts and preparations of animal tissue with or without
the addition of other substances.

Claims.—(1.) Blood or extracts of animal tissue, in light
powder or flaky form, obtained by rapidly evaporating the
water contained in liquid blood or fluid extracts or prepara-
tions of animal tissue by exposing them in a very thin
uniform film or layer, for a limited time, to a temperature
