t SUPERIORITY OF WHITE ZINC PAINT FOR SHIPPING.
MARINE PAINT. — In a report recently published in New York, addressed to the
President and Directors of the New Jersey Zinc Company, it is averred that "late
experiments made at the U. S. Navy Yard at Gosport, have established, by the most
conclusive tests, the decided superiority of the White Oxide of Zinc as a Marine Paint,
over all others subject to the same test, namely : — White Lead, Red Lead, Marine Paint,
manufactured at Philadelphia, Verdigris, and Coal Tar. — These experiments prove that
timber covered with two coats of White Zinc is neither attacked by the worm, nor do
barnacles attach to it when immersed in salt water ; whilst all other paints tried, offer
comparatively no protection against these two great evils." — {Ex Builder, I'dth March.)
