 threads consisting of light, flexible, metallic chains sheathed with 

 cotton or other textile, proofed with rubber or covered with a wrap- 

 ping of raw rubber.] C. M. Gautier, London. 



17,298 (1905). Elastic tire. [India-rubber cords wound spirally in layers 

 about a central core of hard rubber, the successive layers being wound 

 in different directions. Projections on the core intersect the coils and 

 prevent creeping of the elastic body which is enclosed in a cover 

 crimpi'd to engage the corresponding corrugated surface of the rim.] 

 A. W. Carpenter, London. 



'7.336 (1905). Pneumatic tire. [A puncture preventing layer of cork 

 is interposed between the outer cover and the air tube. The cork is 

 cased with canvas and solutioncd to the cover.] T. Hart, Cambridge. 



'17.396 C1905)- India rubber composition [for withstanding the action 

 of high pressure steam, or for use as an acid proof or electric in- 

 sulating mattrial, consisting of a mixture of rubber, fibrous asbestos, 

 sulphur, and litharge, to which are added pore filling materials, such 

 as zinc, iron oxide, etc.]. F. M. Ekert, Ashland, Ohio. 



1 7,452 (1905). Regenerated rubber. [ Vulcanized rubbers are dissolved 

 in resin oil obtained by the distillation of colophony; the mass is filtered 

 and the rubber precipitated by means of a ketone.] J. Neilson, Linden, 

 Germany. 



[Abstracted in the Illustrated Official Journal, December 19, 1906.] 



17.526 (1905). Pneumatic tire. [Made non-skidding by a leather backing 

 in which wire staples arc inserted.] G. and C. Sturgess, Mablethrope, 

 Lincolnshire. 



17,552 (1905). Heel protector. T. Spedding, Hartlepool. 



17.626 (1905). Elastic tire. [A series of rubber blocks fitted in metal 

 boxes, with or without supplementary metallic or other springs, are 

 fitted in a channel rim and threaded on a chain which is adjustable 

 circumferentially.] F. St. G. Caulfeild, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire.

•17,633 (1905). Horseshoe pad. W. A. Rupert, Mercer, Pennsylvania.

 the vibration is great. Washers compressed by the binding screw 

 when in use.] W. Mills. Elizabeth, New Jersey.

In a report on the British East Africa Protectorate, the United 

 States special agent. Mr. Raymond F. Crist, regards the prospects 

 most favorable for the development of Uganda, now well pro- 

 vided with transportation facilities through the completion, by 

 the government, of the Uganda railway, at a cost of $30,000,000. 

 This railway reaches important sources of native rubber, and Mr. 

 Crist finds that rubber is being planted to a considerable extent, 

 the Ceara species (Manihot Glaziovii) being regarded with 

 special favor.
