The first claim of the Floyd patent. No. 867,280, for a sliding hill constructed in spiral form, and terminating ata point immediately below the starting point, involves no element of novelty or invention, and is therefore invalid for want of patentability. A decree is to be entered dismissing the plaintiff’s bill, with costs. Ordered accordingly.
