DO YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD IS?
Its Chief Use and . Method of Deter
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corrodins metallic lead into u white
powder. through exposing 1t to the
fumes of weak ace.ic acid and car
bonic acid gas; this powder is then
ground and mixed with .inseea OIL,
making q thick paste. In which form
1t Is packed and sold for painting pur-
poses. The painter ti,,ns Il down tc
the proper consistency for application
by the addition OF more l:ngeed oil.
The above refers. OF course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead of which there
are many brands on the market, is
generally some sort OF composition
containing only q percentage OF white
lcad-sornetimes nc White Lead al ala !,

chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used 10 make bulk End initiate tho
appearance Of pure White Lead.
There is. however, u positive test by
which the purity OR impurity of White
Lead may De proved or exposed, before
painting with It.
The blow-pipe fame will reduce pure
white lead to metallic lead. It a SUP
posed white lead be thus tested, and it
only partially reduces TO lead, leaving

else Was there besides white lead.
