COMPLETE specifications relating to the undermen-

accepted, and are open to public inspection at this office.
Any person may, at any time within two months from the

No. 20708.—12th February, 1906.—WILLIAM HENRY
JORDAN, of Christchurch, New Zealand, Builder. Improve-
ments relating to cooking-ranges and means for heating and
circulating water in connection therewith.*

Claim.—In means for heating and circulating water, the
combination with a cooking-range and with a water-supply
cylinder, of a system of pipes arranged within the fire-box
of the stove in the manner described so as to leave the heat
a free passage to the oven, and connections leading from the
supply cylinder to the pipe system and from such system to
the cylinder, substantially as specified.

No. 21208.—21st May, 1906.—FREDERICK JOHN FARRELL,
of Stokes Road, Mount Eden, Auckland, New Zealand, Auc-
tioneer. An automatic fire or burglar alarm.*

Claim.—The method as described in the specification, by
which, when by means of any known arrangements a fire or
other alarm-signal or electric current sets free and into
motion a train of wheel gearing actuating a phonographic
record, the telephone-receiver is automatically lifted or
otherwise conveyed to and retained in the position in which
it can best receive and transmit the message reproduced by
the phonograph, and when the receiver is in that position
the winding-spindle, pulley, or drum is thrown out of gear,
and thereafter retained there by any suitable arrangement,
substantially as indicated and described by the specification.

Claims.—(1.) In apparatus for the purpose indicated, a
lid covering an opening in the front of the apparatus, a shute
closed by the lid and passing through the opening, a tail-
piece integral with the lid and projecting into the apparatus,
and means operable by a ticket or card for releasing the tail-
piece, substantially as set forth. (2.) The employment with
mechanism described in claim 1 of a hinged plate adapted to
engage the tail-piece of the lid until released by the insertion
of a ticket or card through the front of the apparatus, sub-
stantially as set forth. (3.) The employment with mecha-
nism described in claims 1 and 2 of a rod secured to the lid
and curved to a circle having the hinge of the lid as its centre,
the said rod elevating the hinged plate to allow the ticket to
fall freely into the interior of the apparatus, substantially as
set forth. (4.) The employment with mechanism described in
claims 1 and 2 of an arm formed by a continuation of the tail-
piece, and having a pawl at its extremity, whereby counting-
mechanism is operated by the raising of the lid, substantially
as set forth. (5.) The described apparatus whereinto a voter
inserts a card or ticket, thereby releasing a lid, which can then
be raised for the introduction of a voting-ball, the raising of
the lid operating counting-mechanism to record the number
of votes given to the candidates, substantially as set forth.
(6.) The described counting-mechanism consisting of a series
of wheels provided with peripheral teeth and with teeth pro-
jecting from the sides of the wheels and meshing with the said
peripheral teeth, substantially as set forth. (7.) The com-
bination with apparatus described in claim 1 of a shute to
which the shutes from the openings converge, a wheel provided
with peripheral cups adapted to catch voting-balls and slotted
transversely, and a shute provided with a fin adapted to pass
into the slots through the cups, substantially as set forth.
