(2.) In means for the production of gas from hydrocarbon oils, the combination with a chamber through which the exhaust from a gas or oil engine is passed, of a carburetter placed within such chamber and arranged to leave a space all round it, and passages through such chamber for conveying air to the carburetter and air for admixture with the generated gas, substantially as specified.

No. 25060.—9th October, 1908.—ROBERT JOHN MCDONALD, of Devonport, Auckland, Bootmaker. An improved sandal.*

Claim.—For the purpose indicated, the combination with a sandal having high sides and a tongue integral with the fore part of the upper, of a cross-shaped fastener attached to the tongue, and having two long and two short opposing arms, whereby the sandal is held close against the foot of the wearer, substantially as set forth.

No. 25262.—25th November, 1908.—FREDERICK HAMILTON JACKSON, of New Plymouth, New Zealand, Ironmonger. An improved grip for scythe-handles.*

Extract from Specification.—According to my invention, the grip is made entirely of metal, a strip of the requisite width being bent near its middle in the form of a curve, the two members thus produced normally tending to spring apart, as in the case of some spring hand-shears. The outer end of each member is bent into semicircular shape so that the two ends approximately fit upon the scythe-handle. . . . The drawing-together of the two members for the purpose of clamping the grip upon the handle is effected by a screw which passes through one member and takes into a nut upon the other.
[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(2.) The treatment of ores containing two or more metalliferous minerals, as a preliminary to classification, for the purpose of freeing the particles of one metalliferous mineral from another, or metalliferous mineral particles from non-metalliferous particles, without appreciably dissolving the metals, consisting in agitating the crushed ore, tailings, middlings, or concentrates with the solution of a reagent or reagents such as caustic alkali or silicates of the alkalies, substantially as described.
