    Short's Improvements in Apparatus for Purifying Sewage. outlet 30 leading to the continuation of the sewer there is a screw propeller 31 driven by a continuation of the shaft 27, which as herein¬ before stated derives its motion from the water wheel 3 at the entrance, and this propeller restores to the outflowing water some of the velocity which it had at the inlet. 5 Having thus particularly described my said Invention and the manner of performing the same, I have to state that I do not restrict myself to the precise details herein described or delineated, but that what I believe to be novel and original, and claim as the Invention secured to me by the lierein-before in part recited Letters Patent is, the 10 arranging or combining together of the parts of apparatus for purifying sewage, substantially in the improved manner herein described and delineated. In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Short, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Pirst day of October, in the year of our 15 Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-four.
