SIR A series of experiments conducted by me,

tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery tha, the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect
am now preparing full report on this impor
tant subject 10 the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks,
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
res Of specimens Of wood ant metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard; all
of which illustrates in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are al liberty TO give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which Of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
