    No. 1206.
    Patent Appeals.
    Submitted March 10, 1919.
    Decided March 31, 1919.
    Hearing on an appeal from a decision of the Commissioner of Patents rejecting the claims of an application for a patent.
    
      Affirmed.
    
    
      Mr. A. M. Houghton for the appellant.
    
      Mr. Theodore A. Hostetler for the Commissioner of Patents.
   Per Curiam:

The application [by Albert T. Meyer] for patent here in issue relates to a composition for furnace lining ■capable of withstanding a high degree of heat without being chemically affected in the reduction of ores.

The three tribunals below were unanimous in holding that ■the invention is anticipated by a patent issued to applicant in ■1915; hence, to allow the claims of the present application Would amount to double patenting.

The ruling is clearly supported by the record, and the decisión of the Commissioner of Patents is aflrmed, and the clerk is directed to certify these proceedings as by law required.

Affirmed.

A motion for rehearing was denied May 22, 1919.
