(2.) In a process for the preservation of animal substances, placing them in an air-tight chamber, withdrawing the air therefrom, and then forcing in oxygen gas at a temperature of about 60° to 90° C. under a pressure of from about 1lb. to 40lb., depending on the nature of the substance, until the hot gas has penetrated throughout the mass, substantially as described.

No. 21060.—1st May, 1906.—WILLIAM ERNEST HUGHES, of Wellington, New Zealand, Patent Agent (nominee of Cyrus Cooks Shigley, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States of America). Improvements in magazine phonographs.

Claims.—(1.) In a magazine phonograph of the character described, wherein the mechanism is started by the introduction of a coin and the motor is stopped by a lever which is allowed to fall when the reproducer completes its travel, the formation of said lever with a sharp downward projection, which is engaged by an arm connected with the reproducer and whereby said lever is moved to eject the coin from the coin-holder before the motor is stopped by the final falling of the lever, substantially as described. (2.) In a magazine phonograph of the character described, wherein the motor is stopped by a lever which is allowed to fall when the reproducer completes its travel, the provision of a stop which is adapted to be engaged by a part connected with the reproducer once during each travel of the same, whereby said stop is turned and prevents the falling of the lever until after two or more complete travels thereof, substantially as and for the object set forth. (3.) In a magazine phonograph of the character described, a device for setting the magazine wheel independently of the automatic mechanism, which device includes a shaft carrying a friction wheel and arranged to be turned by a suitable handle, the said shaft being supported at one end by a link frictionally engaged to the shaft whereby the shaft is caused to rise automatically and to bring its friction wheel into contact with the magazine wheel when the shaft is rotated, substantially as described. (4.) In a magazine phonograph, wherein the reproducer is raised from the record roll at the end of its travel by means of an arm engaged by a notched disc, the formation of said arm as a spring which is adapted to snap through the notch in the disc, but which acts as a rigid arm when raised by a lug on the face of said disc for the purpose of turning the rock shaft by which the reproducer is raised from the record roll, substantially as described. (5.) In a magazine phonograph of the character described, wherein the reproducer is brought into engagement with the record roll, and the driving-arm with the driving-shaft, by means of an arm on the rock shaft having a projection which is engaged by a guide on the traversing shaft, the formation of said guide as a flange mounted on a disc on the driving-shaft and extending round said disc, whilst its inner end is deflected toward the shaft, substantially as described with reference to the drawings.

No. 21065.—28th April, 1906.—FRANCIS ARTHUR RICH, of Remuera, Auckland, New Zealand, Civil Engineer. An improved stove for gaseous, liquid, solid, pulverised, or any other fuels.

Claims.—(1.) In the improved stove specified, the combination of the non-heat-conducting chamber and material therein, the water jacket or casing provided therein, and therewith the cold-water and hot-water taps for feeding and exhausting the same, the hot gas or fuel heat space, and the combustion-chamber with the dropping door attached thereto for the purpose set forth, substantially as described and illustrated. (2.) In the improved stove specified; the combustion-chamber with the dropping door attached thereto for the purpose set forth, substantially as described and illustrated. (3.) In the improved stove specified, the application arrangement and combination of the various parts thereof as detailed for the purpose set forth, substantially as described and illustrated.

Claims.—(1.) The method of drawing hollow-glass articles, consisting in starting the draw at comparatively low speed, continuing at such speed for a portion of the draw, and then increasing to higher speed, and continuing the drawing operation, substantially as described. (2.) The method of forming hollow-glass articles, consisting in drawing the same from a bath of molten glass, then materially increasing the speed to thin the walls of the article, and then severing the thinned portion, substantially as described. (3.) In the method of drawing hollow-glass articles according to Claim (1), gradually increasing the speed from the lower to the higher drawing-speed, substantially as described. (4.) In the method of drawing hollow-glass cylinders according to Claim (1), forming a neck and cap portion which together with the first portion of the cylinder are drawn at a comparatively low speed, the remainder of the cylinder being drawn at a materially increased speed. (5.) The method of drawing hollow-glass cylinders which consists in starting the draw and continuing while a portion of the cylinder is formed, at a slow speed, then increasing the speed while drawing the major portion of the cylinder, and finally again increasing the speed to draw a thin bottom portion, the three rates of speed being of materially increasing character, substantially as described.

No. 19645.—28th June, 1905.—JOHN ANSCHAU, of Glen Innes, New South Wales, Australia, Postmaster. An improved device for sealing mail-bags and the like.*

Extract from Specification.—The buckle (a) is of the ordinary construction, but is provided at the end opposite to the tongue-rest with a hinged lid (b), intended to be closed and held down by the sealing-device in order to prevent the unbuckling of the strap (f). The sides of this lid, which is preferably made of sheet metal, are turned over forming rabbets (b1 b1) for the sliding address-plate (d) fitting therein. This plate bears on each of its external surfaces the name of one of the places of destination of the mail-bag as shown respectively in Figs. 3 and 5. It is constructed with its two surfaces springing outwards as shown in Fig. 6 so as to cause it to grip tightly within its rabbets. A slot (c) in the forward cross-bar or tongue-rest of the buckle and corresponding slots in the covering-plate and in the address-plate provide means for securing all three together by inserting therein the sealing-strap (e) and folding over and sealing the same. After passing this strap (e) through these slots, it is doubled together so that the holes (x) (x) near its ends superpose. Into these the sealing-rivet (g) is inserted and clinched by means of suitable closing-pincher.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
