NOVELTIES IN PATENTS.

Some of the Latest Contrivances of Inventors. THE WTFTEB SCHEME IN, ALL. Brand 5rw Idem la Skatn Xerel Frotrrton For Skt-Sleda Kan ob hcrl Bicycle For Snow and Ire Odd Xoveltlea In OTPffOHti. The brain of tbe Yankee inventor has been fairly boiling daring the gammer and the fall vith what be evidently hopes will be adopted as fade for the winter. In the last few months Uncle Sam has granted hundreds of what may be termed "cold weather patents." Tbe email boy will be interested in some brand new ideas in skates. Ideas most be brand new, otherwise Uncle Sam's examiners will not grant patents for them. The latent skate patented this winter has two runners, like a small sled. They practically form but one, however, being but a half inch apart. Each in i tee If has a double edge, and when dnll is tdmply turned npside down. Tbe inventor figures that a skate of this make will need sharpening bat a fourth as often as an ordinary one, and that the ankle cannot turn with the doable runner. Another man has recently received a patent for a freak ekate, which is hinged in the middle, so that each foot in reality h&g beneath it two blades, the smaller one under the front of the toe. Thus the pedal appendage is allowed tbe same binding in skating as in walking or running, i-till another novelty in skates is claimed to reduce fric- j tion against the ice well nigh to a minimum. Each runner is an endless chain of little blades, which revolves over two t azlee, one under the heel and the other beneath tbe toe. Some inventors appear to regard skat- , ing as a diversion as dangerous as football and have consequently devised all sorts of appliances for the protection of those who must enjoy it. The most t novel of these ctvni bines tbe principles of tbe crutch, the hoopskirt, and the . baby walker and is respectfully recommended to those who get their skates ; on in tbe figurative as well as the literal sense of the word. Straps fasten over tbe shoulders, and the armpits rest in hollow supports, which terminate in forked rods, securing a strong hoop, encircling the feet and clearing the surface of the ice by a few inches. A few weeks ago an Arkansas genius was given a patent for side attachments for skaters' shoes. They resemble rubber nose guards for football players and are fastened over tbe ankle bone, not only to prevent "interfering, but to protect tbe tops of shoes from being worn through in cases where the ankle is so weak as to allow tbe entire side of the foot to ecrape the ice. Another of this year's patents is for an ankle brace of metal which extends on either side of the leg to a clamp, fastening tightly around the calf. Unique fixtures recently patented for ice skating rinks are an overbe.id trolleyrith handles connected thereto by ropes, and also a circular merry go ronnd top, revolving with gymnasium rings, whereby tbe iearuer can perform all sorts of gyrations with imj.nnity. Even more novel are many ideas in sleds and sleighs. The latest sled for (be siiiuii boy is un express wagon body, having a spiked velocipede wheel, with I'eduls, in front and runners beneath. lie fits upon a board seat forward, and, while furnishing more than sufficient motive power for bis own propulsion, makes abundant room for a passenger behind. A few days ago a Minnesota man had ratented an attachment for sieighs whereby the necessity for horses, steam or electric power is claimed to be obviated. Beneath the seats are treadles, which connect with pulleys and gitncrarks galore, and which, when actu-? ated, not only supply all of the motive puwer needed to give the vehicle the ejieed of lubricated utuiospbexic electricity, but warm the feet and keep the blood generally in circulating Still another of this year's fads is oesvribed in the specification cf a patent iiued to Ir. Ilammann of Hamburg, who claims to have hit upon a scheme to completely revolutionize tbe propul ion of sleds, cars and carts on euow, ice or other frozen surfaces. A revolving gear, being actuated, moves group.s of pointed levers against the slippery surface in such a manner that they push the vehicle rapidly along, like so many fust moving legs kicking their heels out behind and sometime? sniortiii8 the Mood's Coupon (Calender 11 f& OX (H is a P101 beauty, y (Ba mjf mj) patriotic, op to dte.

entire weight above tni-m. au jn oi ideas in automobile eleighs, propelled Ly steam and electricity, have poured into the patent office ever since tbe automobile craze began; also hundreds of bicycles and tricycles for snow and ice. The latter vary between a runner in lieu cf the front wheel and a spiked tire for the rear and vice versa. Many new patents are for frictional outer tires to be slipped over ordinary inflated tires in icy weather. The oldest novelty perhaps in winter overcoats is tbe invention of George Harmer of Pleasantville, N. J. It begins in a tremendous collar reaching above the top of the head and ends at the heels. The material throughout is composed of two thicknesses of cloth, between which is an air space of wire fa brio woven in elastic spirals. In tbe front is h slot in which the wearer, on starting out, deposits a slowly smoldering fuel cartridge. The cartridge chamber imparts its beat to the air space completely enveloping the body, and as this warmth rises it circulates over the entire system. Another coat much like this, but patented by tbe eame genius a few years ago, utilizes a lamp instead of a cartridge. Still another queer coat is a long waterproof winter ulster having arranged over the shoulders, front and back, slanting gutters of metal for draining off rain and melting snow.
