Only the third claim of the patent in suit is in issue. As to that, we agree that it covers no patentable invention, as explained in the opinion of the learned judge who tried the case in the circuit court (100 Fed. 652), and for that reason we adopt his conclusions. The decree of the circuit court is affirmed, and the appellees will recover the costs of appeal.
