No. 28811.—1st December, 1910.—DONALD BARNS MORISON, of Hartlepool Engine-works, Hartlepool, Durham, England, Engineer. Improvements in or relating to apparatus for cooling liquids.

Extract from Specification.—According to the present invention, the apparatus consists of nozzles, or their equivalent, through which the liquid is projected vertically downwards, distributors or sprayers which receive and atomize the water discharged from the nozzles, and collecting-planes which receive the falling water, which has been previously diffused and atomized by the sprayers, and deliver it into troughs either for discharge from the apparatus or for further distribution and collection therein, such action being repeated as often as may be required. (Specification, 11s.)

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 29036.—9th February, 1911.—SAMUEL BLACKELY FORSCUTT, of 60 Dowling Street, Dunedin, New Zealand, Poultry-grader. An improved target.*

Claims.—(1.) In a self-scoring target, the combination of a normally open electric circuit carrying a suitable register for a support, provided with bolts and springs projecting therefrom; a series of plates and metal bands in said circuit, corresponding to target-divisions, mounted at intervals on said bolts, and contact-wires operated when one of the said plates is struck by a bullet to close the said electric circuit and ring the bell and bring down a shutter at the indicator, one or more of said plates being formed of a plurality of sections and bolts operated, and contact-wires or metal bands pressing against said plates and adapted to close said electric circuit and springs for preventing the vibration of said plates when struck, a bolt for each spring holding it against the corresponding target-plate. A bullet-proof V-shaped band fits over the edges of the target-plates to prevent the lead from getting into the target, and guides bullets more correctly to the face of the said target, substantially as described. (2.) In a self-scoring target, the steel plates facing a wood backing, a bolt carrying springs thereby, a plate, a bolt to which said plate is attached, said bolt being mounted in said wooden backing, a spring surrounding said bolts, and electric circuit adapted to be closed by the rearward movements of said bolt when the plates or discs are struck by a bullet. Only one indicator and bell is required for each target. Substantially as described. (Specification, 6s.)

No. 29104.—7th February, 1911.—WILLIAM WALLACE, of Invercargill North, New Zealand, Rabbit-trapper. Improvements in or relating to rabbit-traps.*

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention, a mixture of “combustible gas” and air, substantially in the proportions theoretically required for complete combustion, or with air in slight excess thereof, and called the “gaseous mixture,” is passed into a bed or beds of refractory granular material packed, or disposed, in a tube or tubes, channel or channels, or the like, traversing or in proximity to the body of liquid to be heated and at a pressure sufficient to overcome the resistance to gaseous flow exercised by the granules and at such a speed that back ignition of the mixture is prevented. (Specification, 13s.)

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

No. 29155.—18th February, 1911.—CHARLES ERNEST PLAYER, of Birkenhead, Auckland, New Zealand, Medical Practitioner. A cooling-screen.*
