SEA WATER HARD
ON RATT[ESH|PS
Costs U. S. Government Ov-
er $4,000 Yearly for
Painting Vessels.


New York. Sept. 13.-The difficulty
of finding the right kind Of paint for
hattleships Is the subject of an inter-
esting paper presented to the chemists
congress here by Henry Williams of
the Brooklyn navy yard. The paint
ing problems of a salt water navy are
considerable. Salt water eats UP steel
with remarkable avidity and speed un-
less the arnlor plate is kept we'll COW
cred. AS a result the navy has to
spend something OVER hall. n million
dollars every year for paint. The total
was %s150.OOO and the cost of keeping
the ship painted is $4,000 a year.
Until very lately. said Mr.. Williams.
the navy's painting was done inefti-
GENTLY and uneconomically. He cited
three innovations resulting from the
new spirit of chemical research. all OF
which saved money and improved the
ships. Early in 1911. after careful
tests. a new h~ydro-carbon spirit was
substituted for turpentine in the thin
ming of paints. This saved a lot OF
money.
Innovation number two was the sub
stitution of a zinc oxide and blanc fixe
outside paint for the slate color that
had been used for many years. The
difference in price was 35 cents per
gallon in favor of the new paint.
Innovation number three had to do
with bottom paint. which is a special
and expensive type. and was for many
wears purchased from private manu.
facturers who made it from secret for
mulas. The naval chemists finally be-
gan experimenting with bottom paints
on their own count and succeeded.
Sixty thousand gallons of this is now
made every year at Norfolk. with a
saving to the government of 100000
lannually.

cupylng the center of the stage but
manufacturers are experiencing espe-
cial activity in turning out orders
previously booked. However. the pre-
eminent feature at the moment are
the active demands made on jobbers
for goods intended for hear future
sales. House trade. especially in dry
goods and kindred lines has been es-
p%.c'al'y good. while road sales are Of
larger proportions. In fact. mail Or
ders for sorts have appeared in rather
liberal volume and incidentally more
or less spring business in dry goods
has developed but on tho whole. or
dcrs for distinct delivery are, not par
ticularly noteworthy. which indicates

Bismarck. n. D.. Sept. l4.-Every
demonstration farm in the state will

Grcat amount of good in their rcspcc-
tive localities. will also he represent

farms.
The industrial exposition bears an
unique relationship to scientific agri-
culture and the use of better farming
methods. AS an agricultural cduca-
tional institution it stands in a class
by itself. for farmers. Ivy visiting the
displays from every nook and corner
vi the state. will be afforded visual les
sons OF what may actually he ccom

culture. The educational value of the
exposition is iscalculable.
Corn culture has developed rapidly
during the past few Years and 1912

Tor h difficulty experienced during
the spring in securing tested
seed. Over Sl.15O. in premiums and in
cash prizes will be given in the ORR

OF the exposition this year. hut is an
important one. in view of the fact that
there has been SO much interest awak-

alone. hut bankers and merchants are
realizing that true prosperity may he
had only when diversified methods are
adopted generally. Hence all are
working to boost this enterprise. and
