  The 
  inventor 
  says 
  : 
  

  

  " 
  I 
  am 
  aware 
  that 
  tanks 
  have 
  heretofore 
  been 
  constructed 
  for 
  leach- 
  

   ing 
  chemicals, 
  in 
  which 
  liquids 
  flowing 
  in 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  were 
  drawn 
  off 
  from 
  

   the 
  bottom 
  in 
  a 
  manner 
  similar 
  in 
  many 
  respects 
  to 
  that 
  above 
  de- 
  

   scribed, 
  and 
  hence 
  I 
  make 
  no 
  claim 
  to 
  tanks 
  so 
  constructed 
  in 
  my 
  pres- 
  

   ent 
  application."

  In 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  ropes, 
  twines, 
  and 
  cords 
  it 
  is 
  customary 
  to 
  treat 
  

   the 
  manila

  other 
  material 
  with 
  an 
  oil. 
  As 
  a 
  substitute 
  for 
  the 
  oils 
  

   commonly 
  used, 
  a 
  mineral 
  oil 
  commercially 
  known 
  as 
  amber-oil 
  or 
  

   Smith's 
  Ferry 
  oil, 
  mixed 
  with 
  fish 
  or 
  whale 
  oil 
  in 
  the 
  proportion 
  of 
  fifty 
  

   parts 
  of 
  fish 
  or 
  whale 
  oil 
  to 
  fifty 
  parts 
  ot 
  Smith's
