January 20, 1854.
To c. e. Detmold, President ~ J. Zinc Co., ~ i.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon alt the various paints and artificial prepara-
lions for the preservation of timber, have led me
TO the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
!. am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
res Of specimens wood anc metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
para,ions, 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 are of too much impor.
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world am, respectfully your obedent servant,

Americans would engage to pay for the

as follows:

The INVENTOR OF RArLRoAps,-Some
few years ago Hewitt of the People's
Journal, gave the following sketch of the
alleged inventor Of railroads, who, up to
May, 1896. had been neglected in Eng
land: .--
About half century sgo-the exact
year is not knewn-there was born at
Leeds, England, man named Thomas
Grey. Scarcely anything is known of
his early history. LIE was, we believe,
a poor collier, and being very ingenious
he conceived the idea of facilitating the
transportation of coal from the Middle
town colliery of Leeds, distance OF three
miles, by means of sort of railway
which he constructed of wood. Upon
this his cars moved at the rate of three
and half miles an hour, to the great
merrinent of q wise and discriminating
publi;, who laughed at the idea of a rail-
way as something very visionary, and as
the mere suggestion of laziness. Poor
Grey thought otherwise. Magnificent
visions of future railways, such as are
now stupendous realities, loomed up be-
fore him, and he began to talk in public
of a general system of railroads. He
was, of course, laughed at, and declared
a visionary, moon-struck fool. But the
more Grey contemplated his little rail-
way for coal, the more firmly did he be-
Ieve in the pracGcability and immense
usefulness of bis scheme. He saw in it
all that is now realized, and he resolved,
in spite of the ridicnle, the sneers and re-
bluffs that were heaped upon him, to pros
ecute his undertaking. He petitioned the
British Parliament, and sought interest
with all the great men of the kingdom !:
but all this had no effect except to bring
down upon him wherever he went the
loud sneers and ridicule of all classes.
Still he persevered, and at length engaged
the attention of men of intelligence and
influence, who finally embraced his views,
urged his plans, and the result is now
before the world. Thomas Grey, the in
ventor of railroads, who, not longer ago
than 1920, was laughed at for ever men,
tioning the idea, still lives in Exeter,
England, in the full realization of his
grand and noble railroad schemes, for
which he was declared insane. How
much has the world been benefited by
his insanity.
