PATENTS LATELY ENROLLED. MR. JOHN MURRAY'S and MR. ADAM ANDERSON'S (EDINBURGH), for a Portable Stove or Furnace. THE HE object of this invention is to distribute the heat more equally than I can be done by stoves now in common use. The stove may be manufactured from forged, or cast, or plate iron, and it is so contrived as to avoid the unpleasant smells which are often produced by common stoves. It is moreover so constructed, that the air, if necessary, may be brought from the external atmosphere, so as to produce ventilation as well as warmth. It consists of an upright circuJar stove, such as may be seen in many churches and other public buildings, to which is attached a funnel, or chimney, for carrying off the smoke; there are ⚫ also registers, ash-pit, grate, &c. as are usual in such cases. But this is covered with a case similar in shape to the original stove, only much larger, to leave a considerable space for the generation of hot air, which hot air may, by means of pipes, be carried in any direction, so as to give an equable warmth to the apart ments into which they are conducted. A 'stove of this construction is said to be well adapted to the warming and ventilation of churches, public rooms, balls, stair-cases, and, by means of tubes connected with it, any apartments of houses; and it will also be useful in ventilating and heating ships and manufactories, drying different articles of manufacture, ventilating mines, and for other purposes. MR. JOHN MANTON'S (DOVER-STREET,) for an improved Lock for Guns and Pistols. This invention is explained by the figures attached to the specification. The hammer acts downwards, and opens that side of the pan nearest the cock to admit the sparks of the prime. The hammer returning to its jointing fills up the opening in the pan, and it is furnished with a strong steel pan, fastened by a stud in the back, and a small screw through the hammer. At the end of the hammer face, nearest the pan, is a small groove or notch, sunk in the hammer to carry off any wet that may come down upon it. The hammer is fixed to the plate by the same screw that fastens the haminer-spring on the inside. The hole in the shank of the hammer being screwed, it turns on the hammer-springs which comes through the plate about three-eighths of an inch. On the inside of the hammer-spring there is a projection one-fourth of an inch long, which comes through a square hole in the place into a hole in the shank of the hammer, and forces it to return to its jointing with the pan, when the lock is brought to halfcock. The cock is flat on the inside, and is barely one-eighth of an inch thick. It passes between the plate and the hammer when it comes down. The jaws project outwards to answer the hammer. A bulge is left on the breast of the cock to render the fitting of the squares of the tumbler more strong and perfect. When the lock is struck down, the flint comes in contact with the hammer-face, near the end, and forces it down sufficiently to admit the sparks into the pan. The inside of the pan is round, and the same size from end to end. About one-third is cut out to receive part of the hammer. The main-spring has a stud like others. The end of the stud side is bevelled to fit under the end of the nib, by which it is prevented from rising. The crane of the tumbler has a roller in the end, on which the main-spring acts. The bridle has a strong leg on the inside, with a round stud, which fits into the plate near the scarnose, to prevent it from twisting when the tumbler comes in contact with the eye to stop the cock. The sear acts on the tumbler in the usual way, but the shank is nearly vertical instead of horizontal. The sear-spring acts on a shoulder, left on the outside of the sear for that purpose, and forces the scarnose to the tumbler. The pan of this lock is primed from the touch-hole by the compression of the air in loading. The following are described as the principal advantages derived from this lock: 1. The pan being solid with the plate at top, protects the prime from wet. 2. The hammer opening downwards, and the flint acting in a direct me with the pan, the sparks communicate quicker to the prime. 3. The hammer returns to its jointing with the pan when the lock is brought to half-cock without any additi onal trouble to the user. 4. The lowness and compactness of the lock altogether render it much less dithcult to protect from wet, and much less liable to accidents by catching, in cover shooting, than locks of the present construction. MR. MR. GEORGE POCOCK'S (BRISTOL), for an invention of Geographical Slates for the construction of maps. The invention consists in drawing and conducting the lines of latitude and longitude, or other material lines or projections, according to the kinds of maps required, on the substance commonly known by the appellation of slates; which lines shall serve as guides to learners of geography to sketch the relative situati ons of different parts and kingdoms of the world. Attached to the specifica tion is a drawing of the lines that are proper to be drawn and indented on a slate, for the scholar to prepare a map of the eastern and western hemispheres. Slates for forming maps of the several quarters of the world, or any parts of it, are to be prepared with appropriate lines according to the nature of the map required. The method of drawing these lines, says the patentee, "is to take a thin plate of metal, or other suitable substance, upon which I mark the longitudinal lines of the globe, and cut out the space desired between the two middle ones, leaving the space on each side solid. I then cut out spaces between the next two on each side, and so proceed, leaving an alternate space solid and open till I have finished one hemisphere. This plate will then serve as a ruler or guide, by which the longitudinal kines may be drawn and indented on the slate by a sharp-pointed tool, or other proper instrument." The lines of latitude may be made in the same way by another plate cut out in a similar man ner. MR. JOHN DUMBELL'S (WARRINGTON,) for new Methods of Flax Spinning, &c. Instead of preserving the vegetable fibres, or staple thereof, as long as possible, and spinning the same in the usual method, Mr. Dumbell cuts them into such lengths as shall render them fit to be manufactured by the machinery now used for spinning cotton. structure. The common agricultural instrument called the chaff These spring or give way, and he causes the MR. JOHN JONES'S (BIRMINGHAM), for The principle of this invention consists in the manufacturing iron skelps, by rolling or otherwise making plates of iron in a taper form, sufficiently large to be divided into several of them, and so that, when cut into skelps, the grain or fibres of the iron may be drawn transversely in every skelp, instead of longitudinally, as by the forge hammer, which is the pre 2 M sent sent mode of manufacturing them. The manner of performing the operation is thus described and directed: "Take a slab, or piece of iron, in a wedge-like, or other convenient form, the length of which must be in proportion to the length of the skelps required; and the weight, according to the number of skelps desired to be cut out of each plate Heat the slab, or piece of iron, to the usual degree of heat observed in rolling plates of iron; then, with the common appa. ratus in general use for rolling plate iron, form it into a plate thicker at one edge and side than the other, which thickness must be according to the sort of skelps wanted. The thick edge and taper-like form will be best produced by reducing the circumference of one end of one roller, or one end of each roller, a few inches in the longitudinal direction of it, or them, according to the sort of skelps wanted; or nearly the same effect may be produced with a pair of rollers, of equal diameter throughout, by giving one end of the upper roller more liberty than the other. The plate of iron is then to be cut or divided into skelps, or strips for skelps, longitudinally from the thin to the thick edge, or from the thick to the thin edge. But to prevent waste in cut ting or dividing the plates into skelps of the form wanted, they may be cut or divided into strips about the width of the muzzle, or fore end, of the skelp; in which case the plate must be formed somewhat thicker on the thick side and edge, in order to admit of the strips being a little widened by a forge or tilthammer, or by any other means. Where it may not be convenient to roll the plate wide enough to form the skelps one length, it may be done in two or more parts, and joined in the welding of the barrel, or in the skelp form. The barrels manufactured from these skelps, I find to be more clear, and more free from grays or flaws, which I conceive arises from the great pressure and quickness of the heavy rollers upon the iron, in so hot a state, forcing the pure metallic particles to cohere more closely than can be effected by the partial strokes of the tilt-hammer upon the iron less hot; and by the grain or fibres being, by this pro cess, laid round, parallel with the edge of the breech, they partake, in some degree, of the nature of what are termed twisted barrels, gain a considerable addition of strength, and consequently stand proof with less risque of bursting." REPORT OF DISEASES, Under the Care of the late Senior Physician of the Finsbury Dispenstry, from the 20th of February to the 20th of March, 1810. HEUMATICaffections,more particu Rlarly of the face and neck, have of late It been very general. The weather of February, March, and April, is especially calculated to generate this species of complaint. Even a still further progress in the year, when" Winter lingers on the lap of May," will produce scarcely any apparent diminution in the prevalence of rheumatism. But a disease of much graver aspect, and attended with more solemn consequences, not unfrequently owes its birth, as well as its mournful termination, to the influence of the present season. be regarded as the seed time of consump tion; and what originates in one spring, the suceeding will probably ripen, if intermediate care be not taken to destroy its root, or to restrain its growth, into a full and fatal maturity. The vernal period, which is usually painted by poets as luxuriant in delights, will be found, in this country at least, to be far more abundantly productive of disaster and disease.. may The physical patient ought more particularly at this crisis of the year, to be treated with all the delicacy and care which are due to a hot-house plant. Common as it is, nothing surely can be about to sink under the pressure of an How few of such unhappy exiles from J. REID.
