coal Witli stone, coal, culm, and anthracite, 
in such proportions as will burn in furnaces 
a id kilns without emitting smoke. The 
proportions, which must vary with the draft 
of the fire-place, will generally be from a 
fifth to a third bituminous coal, and the re- 
mainder stone-coal, culm, or anthracite: it 
is only necessary to add so much bituminous

“To David Gordon, of Basinghall Street: 
for improvements in the construction of 
portable gas-lamps.—-Sealed 14th April 
1824.—These improvements comprehend, 
first.an apparatus for regulating the supply 
of gas to the burners of portable gas-lamps 
from vessels in which it has been compres. 
sed, which is proposed to be effected by 
three different modes of introducing a coni- 
eal pointed screw into the gas passage ; se- 
condly, an apparatus with a conical spring 
valve opening inwards, by the employment 
of which gas may be introduced into the 
vessels without the danger of its escape; and, 
thirdly, apparatus of two kinds, by which 
is taay be conveniently passed from one 
vessel to another—Inrolled October 1824.

“'T6 Jobix Heathcoat, of Tivetton, coifnty 
To William Johnson, of Great Totham, 
Essex ; for a means of evaporating fluid for 
the purpose of conveying heat into build- 
ings for manufacturing, horticultural, and 
domestic uses, and for heating liquors in 
distilling, brewing, and dyeing, &c. Seal-= 
ed 5th August 1824.—Mr. Johnson had 
formerly obtained a patent for ‘‘ a means 
of obtaining the power of steam for the use 
of steam engines with reduced expenditure 
of fuel.” This was proposed to be effected 
by placing one vessel above another, each 
containing water, and allowing the heat of 
the steam in the lower vessel to ascend 
through the bottom of the next above it, 
and then to cause the water to boil and 
generate steam, the heat from which was to 
pass through the vessel above it, and so on, 
steam being generated from all the vessels 
by the heat of the one fire at ‘bottom, &e 
The object Of the present patent is thatl OF 
employing steam, generated ‘this’ walt for 
the heating of buildings generally, and’ also 
for heating liquors. ‘The mode proposéd ‘is 
by laying lateral Beg, leadifig “froni° the
