Removal of Rust From Iron

70 the Editor Of WomdR's Page
Dear Madam-will you kindly inform me how
10 remove rust from iron by some chemical
procesH7 W. c. ).
A simple and directive way OF cleaning
rusted iron articles, no matter how badly
they are rusted. consists In attaching a
piece Of ordinary zinc to the articles and
then letting them lie in water to which a
little sulphuric acid is added. They should
be left immersed several days or week,
until the rust has entirely disappeared, the
time depending on how deeply they are
rusted II there is much rust a little sui
phurio acid should be added from time TO
time. The essential part Of the process is
that the zinc should be in good electrical
contact with the iron. A good way is 10
twist an iron wire tightly around the OBJ
ject Another method, given in the Scien-
tihc American Cyclopedla of Formulas, is
TO allow the iron articles to lie from twelve
70 fourteen hours in nearly saturated
solution of chloride of tin, thin coating
OF rust can frequently be removed by the
application OF sweet oil

to the ceiling
Next in order Is TO see TO II that the laths

harmful to plastering than for the laths to
be put too close together or too far apart
on the ceilings they should never be less

may seem unimportant TO the layman, but
