Limestone Production.

More limestone is produced in the
United States than any other kind of
stone, not excepting granite, and its
value is also greater.
The value Of the limestone output in
1911. according to the United States
geological survey. was $33,S97, 1862, a
decrease of $7O6,318 from the figures
for 1910. The decrease In value was
chiefly in limestone used for auxing.
These figures do not include the value
of most Of the stone that is burned into
hme nor a large quantity of limestone
used in the manufacture Of portland
cement.
The principal states that produced
limestone in 1911 were. in rank of val
ue, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana, ILL.,
nois. New York and Missouri, each
having an output Of more than $2.OOO,-
600.

THE RUST!NG OF IRON.
Surprising Results Of an Experiment
With Various Paints.

With various PANTS.
In some very interesting experiments
by two German chemists. E. I.iebreich
and F. Splitter, the cause OF rust in
cases which have seemed especially
puzzling has been made very clear. as
1t vas shown beyond question that the
rust was caused by the paints them
selves. says the Scientific American.
They painted polished steel plates. and
in order to distinguish them. numbered
them with oil paint. The result vas
that the rusting took place just under
the painted numbers-that Is. where
the protective" coating was the thick
est.
They went further in the matter and
examined iron business signs and the
like. As a rule these were made of
sheet iron. first painted with a ground
color, mostly white; then the lettering
was added, usually in black. Remov-
ing the coating, 1t was shown that the
rust was most pronounced under the
lettering-in fact, in most cases was to
be found only there.
This set the investigators to think
ing, and they carried out their expert
ments with several kinds Of paint, az
follows: White lead. zinc white (purest
zinc oxide), red lead, iron oxide, white
lead and lampblack, zinc white and
lampblack.
Iron plates were brightly polished
and four plates coated with the above
paints in different thicknesses Of each.
n plate getting but coat, a Sec
ond two. a third three and a fourth
four, time for drying being accorded.
Then all the plates were subjected for
a whole day to the action Of steam
from water boiling in an open vessel
that is, under no pressure above that
Of the atmosphere.
The paint was then dissolved OF to
show the condition Of the plates.
The result was surprising. Under all
the single coahngs the iron was not at
all rusty; under the double coat. partly
attacked: under the triple coat, more
strongly, and under the four coats,
thoroughly rusted!
Apparently one coat, at least Of the
above named paints. is better than
more. The explanation of this remark
able result would seem to be that the
varnish In the second coat dissolves
and loosens the first one, making it
porous, and that the oftener this proc
ess is repeated the more porous the
paint becomes. 1t would also seem to
indicate that one thick coat, If allowed
to harden, would be better than several
thin ones, which has not been consid-
cred to be the case. There seem to be
no experiments in this particular on
record,
