deposited metal projects into the grooves, and if the prismatic ribs extend clear to the edge of the tile sections then the frame part is provided with little lugs which project into the surface angles between the adjacent prismatic ribs, and in some cases, when desired, key-pieces at the crossing-points of the strips may be used to form part of such frame-pieces.     What I claim is--     1. As a new article of manufacture, a framed body of tile sections comprising a series of such sections placed in the same plane, a surrounding frame, and cross frame-pieces between the sections to support and secure them, consisting each of an electrical conductor and a mass of electrically-deposited metal surrounding said conductor to complete the frame and seal the joints between the sections.     2. As a new article of manufacture, a framed body of tile sections comprising a series of such sections placed in the same plane, a surrounding frame, and cross frame-pieces between the sections to support and secure them, consisting each of a copper-like electrical conductor and a mass of electrically-deposited metal surrounding said conductor to complete the frame and seal the joints between the sections.     3. As a new article of manufacture, a framed body of tile sections comprising a series of such sections placed in the same plane, and provided each with prismatic ribs forming between them a surface angle and extending substantially to the edge of such section, a surrounding frame and cross frame-pieces between the sections to support and secure

them, consisting each of an electrical conductor and a mass of electrically-deposited metal surrounding such conductor, and with lugs projecting into the surface angles of the sections, to complete the frame, seal the joints between the sections and resist any tendency of the sections to longitudinal motion along the frame-pieces.     4. As a new article of manufacture, a framed body of tile sections comprising a series of tile sections placed in the same plane and having their opposed edges recessed, a surrounding frame and cross frame-pieces between the sections to support and secure them, consisting each of an electrical conductor and a mass of electrically-deposited metal surrounding such conductor and filling such recesses to complete the frame, seal the joints between the sections and resist the tendency of the sections to move across such frame-pieces.     5. As a new article of manufacture, a framed body of tile sections comprising a series of tile sections placed in the same plane, a surrounding frame and a skeleton frame consisting of frame-pieces between the sections, and overhanging key-pieces at the intersections of such frame-pieces to support and secure the sections, such frame-pieces and keys being electrical conductors, and a mass of electrically-deposited metal surrounding such conductors to complete the frame and seal the joints between the sections.
