SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1903\nEX-FBEMIEB\nOF ITALY DEAD\nHad Been in Public Life\nSince 1861\nWas Afflicted With a Tumor\non Stomach\nRome, Dec. 26.\u2014Former premier Zanardelll died this evening at Maderno,\nnear Bresica. Giuseppe Zanardelll, although he had previously served one\nterm as premier of the chamber of deputies, was re-elected to the chamber in\nMay, 1895, and on December 14th, 1897,\nwas appointed minister of Justice. In\nFebruary, 1901, signor Zanardelll was\nappointed president of tbe council of\nministers, and in April, 1903, he became\nso seriously 111 that he fainted as he\nwas leaving the qulrlnal after tbe weekly\nconsultation of the premier with the\nking, ne was taken to his home and\nthe doctor said there was nothing alarming in his condition. Signor Zanardelll\nannounced the resignation of tbe cabinet ln tbe chamber on June 13th, 1903,\nand was asked to form a new cabinet,\nbut being unable to get strengthening\nmaterial from the other parties, it was.\ndecided that the cabinet should remain\nas formerly constituted, wltb tbe exception ot tbe minister of tbe interior,\nsignor Giolitte, and the minister of marine, who retired. The chamber on June\n26th passed a vote of confidence in the\nreconstructed Zanardelll ministry. Early\nln August signor Zanardelll became so\n111 that his physicians recommended a\ncomplete rest, and on October 20th he\nresigned with his whole cabinet, owing\nto ill-health, the step being in no way\nconnected with the political situation,\nthough attempts were made to connect\nthe resignation of the cabinet with the\npostponement of the czar's visit to Rome.\nKing Victor Emmanuel visited signor\nZanardelll on October 23rd. Signor Zanardelll at the time suggested that signor\nGiolitte, former minister ot the interior,\nwho favored the Zanardelll policy, be\nmade his successor, and later the king\ncharged Glolettl to form a new cabinet,\nwhich he eventually did, the new ministry assuming office on November 3rd.\nA dispatch from Rome last night announced that tbe condition of signor\nZanardelll was extremely grave. His\ndoctors made public the fact of tbe existence of a tumor in tbe patient's stomach, and added that they had given up\nall hope of signor Zanardelii's recovery. The news caused a deep impression\nin Rome.\nSignor Zanardelll died at his villa at\nMadern, at lake Garda, at 7.30 o'clock\nthis evening. He was nursed by two\nsisters and by the parish priest. Signor\nZanardelll waB conscious of the tact that\ndeath was approaching, and a few days\nago, when bishop Bonamelli, the leader\nof the Italian liberal party, went to see\nbim, and offered bim words of encouragement, he merely answered: \"I will\nnot see you again.   Pray God for me.\"\nThe physicians this morning began\nartificial respiration, and the use of\noxygen, with the addition later of ether.\nThe news of the former premier's death\nalthough expected, produced a profound\nimpression here, Rome considering bim\nas one of their citizens. The king and\nqueen learned of the death of Zanardelll while they wero attending the opening night of the opera season, and immediately left the theatre.\nIGiuseppe Zanardelll was born at\nBrescia In 1829, and was consequently\n77 years old. He entered parliament in\n1861. He became minister of public\nworks in 1876 and continued ln that\noffice until 1877. He was home secretary ln 1878; was minister of grace and\njustice from 1881 till 1883, and from 1887\ntill 1891; president of tbo chamber of\ndeputies, 1892-3; in February, 1901, was\nappointed president of the council ol\nministers.]\nMINES SHUT DOWN.\nOnly Those Paying the Scale Are Now\nBeing Operated.\nMyersdale, Pennsylvania, Dec, 26.\u2014\nThere is not a mine that was running\nIn the Somerset and Cambria branch ot\nthe Baltimore ft Ohio railway before tbe\nstrike order went Into effect that la\nnow working.

A relief\ntrain, carrying all the. physicians available, and all the ambulances ln the city,\nand the hospitals were notified to have\nall their forces ready. The two trains\nwere running at full speed, and tbe engines were reduced to tangled bits ot\nwreckage. The first cars were also demolished and the entire train left tbe\ntrack, except the last coach on each\ntrain, so great was the force of the collision. The east bound train was due to\nleave here at 6.20 p. m. bound for Detroit, and It was a little late. The west\nbound train was due from Detroit at 6.15\np. m., but It was also late.\nThe wreck is Bald to be due to a misunderstanding of orders. Tbe east\nbound train was crowded with passengers when it left Orand Rapids. It carried scores of Christmas visitors returning to their homes.\nIt is reported tbat the incoming train\nwas also heavily loaded. As usual, tbe\nsmokers were demanded more than any\nof the other coaches, and ln the smokers\nevery seat was occupied. Tbe wreck\ntook place about a half mile west of\nEast Parts, where there Is a curve on\na long grade. The west bound train had\nJust descended this grade when the collision occurred.

The departure of this force is\nimminent. It will probably consist of a\ndivision of 15,000 men. Japan has been\nassured that Russia will not regard the\nsending ot troops to Korea to be an unfriendly act or a casus belli. It Is anticipated that the departure of troops\nwill revive tbe war rumors, which, however, It ls pointed out in authoritative\nquarters, will he unjustified, ln view of\nRussia's acquiescence. During the recent\nexchanges of communications between\nRussia and Japan tbe former fully recognized tbe need of the presence of a\nstrong military authority in Korea, and\nconceded tbat Japan was in tbe best\nposition to promptly send troops to the\ndisturbed points. The sending of the\ntroops, nevertheless. Is construed as\nhaving an Important bearing on the\npresent negotiations, as tt will be tke\nfirst conspicuous evidence ot Japan's\nactual exorcise of a paramount authority\nover Korea. It is further said, In the\nsame quarters, that tbe preparations tor\nthis expedition were tbe cause ot the\nrecent great activity at tbe Japanese\narsenal and dockyards, which, It ls\nasserted, has been erroneously ascribed\nto preparation against Russia. Information bas also been received here that\nforeign minister Lamsdorff hsa personally received Japan's reply and that ln\nview of Its terms he ls said to bave\nexpressed surprise at the report ot\nJapan's belligerent attitude. This, It Is\nadded, Is regarded as clearly showing\nthe amicable spirit In wblch the negotiations are proceeding.\nLondon, Dec. 26.\u2014Japan Is negotiating for the purchase of two Chilean warships, the armored cruiser Esmeralda\nand another, probably tha; battleship\nCaptain Pratt, which are JHi^ale. It\nIs now only a matter of prlw. Negotiations are In progress with several\nother governments tor the purpose ot\npurchasing warships. Baron Hayashl,\ntht Japanese minister to Oreat Britain,\n\u2022slit to a representative of tka '\nated Press today, relative to these negotiations: \"We want more ships; ot\ncourse this ls only a precautionary\nmovement and It may be a lot of expense all for nothing. I have no Intimation of the nature of the Russian\nreply. Personally I scarcely expect it\nwill be delivered tor some little time.\nThere la no truth whatever tn the\nreport that Japan's note stipulated a\ntime limit\" i\nAsked about the dispatch from Berlin\nof December 24th, saying that Oreat\nBritain deemed Japan's demand Just\nand earnestly expected that Russia\nwould grant them, baron Hayashl, while\nhe waa not aware ot the precise action\ntaken by Oreat Britain and St Petersburg, said: \"Tbe British government Ib\nwell aware tbat Japan will be obliged to\ngo to war unleSB Russia modifies the\nposition she has token ln her laat note.\"\nAt the foreign office here nothing Is yet\nknown of the probable nature of the\nRussian reply.\nSt. Petersburg, Dec. 26.\u2014Diplomatic\ncircles here express greater confidence\nthan ever tn an ultimate peaceful arrangement between Russia and Japan.\nNORTH RENFREW GOES TORY\nDUNLOP SCORES AN EASY VICTORY\nOVER HALE.\nRESULT   MAY   LEAD   TO   EARLY\nAPPEAL TO THE COUNTRY.\n[Special to The Dally Newa]\nPembroke, Ontario, Dec. 26.\u2014The\ngreet campaign ls over. North Renfrew\nhas again changed Its political cloak,\nand ln today's bye-election gave Dunlop,\nthe conservative candidate, a large majority. Up to tbe time of filing this dispatch Dunlop led Hale, the liberal candidate, by over 400 votes, and not a\nsingle polling station heard from reports a minority vote for the conservative.\nOamey was the chief factor ln tbe\ncampaign. He spoke all over the riding\nand wherever he went he was enthusiastically received. The flght was very\nbitter all through. Both parties strained every nerve to secure the seat, but\nthe conservatives held the winning card\nwith Oamey.\nToronto, Dec 26.\u2014Whilst the defeat\nof Hale in North Renfrew was not altogether unexpected in liberal circles, the\nresult of the election has certainly\ncaused a great deal of anxious comment\nPremier Ross haa now only a majority\nof three, and It ls felt that he cannot\ncarry on business satisfactorily upon\nsuch a small margin. It Ib impossible\nto secure an expression of opinion from\nanyone in authority tonight, but the\nrumor is prevalent that Ross will call\nthe house together at an early date, and\nIf be finds any disposition on the part\nof the opposition to resort to obstructive\ntactics be will Immediately dissolve and\nmake an appeal to the country.\nIn conservative circles the victory,\nstrange to Bay, does not give unalloyed\nsatisfaction. Many of the leaders. Including, It is said, Whitney himself,\nrealize that Oamey was the star attraction In the campaign, and that he now\nhas claims on the party which It will be\ndifficult to Ignore. Oamey Is cordially\ndespised hy conservatives and liberals\nalike, though the opposition party managers could not resist the opportunity\nto make use of him In thla campaign.\nSTORM IN NEW ENGLAND.\nSeveral Wrecks Reported and Many\nVessels In Distress.\nBoston, Dec. 26.\u2014After one of the\nmildest Christmas days for many years\na midwinter storm broke over New England today and resulted In a number of\nmarine disasters. - Three wrecks had\nbeen reported up to this evening, and\nseveral other vessels had been in distress during the day.

When It becomes properly known that the Slocan\nIs marvellously rich In zinc ore the required market will be found.\nTo make known to the world ln the\nmost authoritative manner possible the\nexistence of zinc of the finest quality In\ntbe Slocan, the Sliver-Lead Mine\nOwners Association will request the\ndominion government to engage the services of an expert of world-wide reputation to report upon the zinc ore deposits of Kootenay. Such a report, if\nconfirmatory of the claims put forward\nby the men who know the nature of the\nSlocan mineral deposits, will Immediately Interest those who want zinc and\nthos* who have the capital to Invest ln\ntb* darslopmut of mines aad the sree-\nttea ot wparadag aad reduetaam works.\n' With a market for the zinc, scores of\nproperties ln the Slocan, now Idle or\nonly partially worked, could be operated to full capacity. What thla wonld\nmean to southern British Columbia and\nto the whole province ls too obvious for\ncomment\nThe immediate necessity ls to make\nknown In the proper quarters the existence of this zinc, and to do this the plan\nsuggested by the Sliver-Lead Mine\nOwners' Association ls an excellent one.\nThe report of a disinterested expert, of\nrecognized authority ln the mining\nworld, one who ls conversant with the\neconomic conditions prevalent in tbls\npart of the country, and who has exact\nknowledge of the commercial uses of\nsine, is the first essential to the development of this branch of the mining Industry ln Kootenay.\nThe shipment of zinc ore trom the\nSlocan this year bave been by no means\ninsignificant, representing ln value\nprobably a fourth of the value of the\nlead output\nIn answering the question why these\nsine ores have been so neglected It may\nbe said that the mine owners have\nthemselves been apathetic ln the matter\nbu the blindness ot the transportation\ncompanies to the chances afforded them\nIs probably the chief reason. With some\neffort on their part to put ln motion a\nzinc tonnage which would probably bo\nfrom five to tea times the tonnage of\nlead, the other details Involved In the\nquestion, such as the preliminary treatment to fit the zinc ores tor the bost\nmarkets, would rapidly be dealt with;\nbut ln face of freight rates which,\nthough Justifiable with a small tonnage\nof rich material, are prohibitive on a\nvery low grade material, there has been\nno Inducement to do anything.\nHowever, the mine owners now\nappear to be aroused to the importance\nof the zinc Industry and the transportation companies Indicate a willingness\nto be reasonable in the matter of rates.\nVery effective work was done by the\nboards of trade of Kootenay In connection with the lead bounty. Their active\nsupport ot the mine owners, backed by\nthe press, undoubtedly had a good deal\nto do with Influencing the dominion\ngovernment to come to the aid of the\nsilver-lead Industry so generously. Thla\nIs another case ln whlcb the boards ot\ntrad* oan land valuable assistance. The\nrequsat to be sutle ef \u00bb\u00bb UmkmVn\ngovernment In this Instance Is, so far as\ncost ls concerned, a trifling one, hut\nln other respects It Is one of vital Importance, and the earlier a favorable\nreply can be obtained the better it will\nbe for the future of the Slocan and of\nall Kootenay.\nWhat Is wanted Is tne engagement by\nthe dominion government ot an authority upon sine of world-wide reputation to\nspend the coming summer In making a\nthorough examination of the tine on\ndeposits ln Kootenay and to report upon\nthe economic conditions surrounding the\nproduction of that metal.\nThe boards of trade and other publio\nbodies of Kootenay know what Is\nwanted.\nIt ls up to them now to get ln and\ndrill.\nTHB TOURIST ASSOCIATION.\nImmediately after the new year there\nwill be a meeting of citizens for tha\npurpose of hearing the report of tho\nsecretary of the Tourist Association and\nto devise ways and means for continuing the good work ot the organization.\nThoso who have kept in closest touch\nwith the operations of the association\nknow that It has done excellent work,\nand that a numher ot tourists were Induced to come here through Ita efforts.\nIts work was carried on, too, in the face\nof the fact that only a small sum ot\nmoney was at its disposal, but what\nthere was wan wisely spent, and by\nmeans ot letters, booklets, etc., a number of tourists were Induced to come\nhere from places far and near, who\nspent considerable time In and about\nthe city in hunting, fishing and sight\nseeing. So Impressed were they with\nthe scenery and the opportunities for\nhunting and fishing that they declared\nthey Intended to eome here again and\nthat they would also endeavor to Induce\ntheir friends to come with them.\nNow that so good a start has been\nmade ln the right direction by the association It Bhould during the present year\nenlarge Its usefulness and determine to\naccomplish still more than hitherto.\nSome of the seed planted last year will\nbear fruit during 1904. New plantings\not seed ln the shape of circulars, booklets and letters Bhould be made, and by\nkeeping the operations up the number\nof visitors who will make annual pilgrimages to enjoy a few weeks ln the\nhealth-giving air ln this vicinity will be\nlarge. The efforts must not bo spasmodic, but constant and steady.\nThe tourists will bring considerable\ncapital Into the country, and this with\nthat which comes from existing sources,\nwill make the community very prosperous. Good fishing, excellent boating,\nfine hunting and splendid scenery are\nJust as much an asset as any that exists\nln this or any other community, antl\nshould be exploited for all they are\nworth.\nThe meeting of tha Tourlit Association should, therefor*, be attended by\neveryone whe has aa Interest In the wel\nFor the next few days we shall hold a Special Sale of the balance of our Holiday Goods at a reduction of from 20 to 30 per cent\nin order to clear.

The tact was lost\nsight of that before output could be\nmaterially Increased much development\nwork had to be done. This is now being\ndone and that It is being done ls admittedly owing to the bounty. Several\nmine owners have been encouraged to\nmake extensive additions to plant and\nto undertake long and costly development work ln the assurance that with\nthe bounty they would in course of\ntime recover their outlay. It Is only\nnecessary to mention. In this connection,, what Is now being done at the\nSlocan Star, the Rambler, the Idaho and\nthe Monitor to prove that the leaven\nof the bounty ls working to good purpose, Next year will undoubtedly see a\nvery large Increase In the lead production of the Slocan mines as a direct\nresult of this bounty.\nBAKHRS STRIKE IN PARIS.\nPtrto, Deo. \u00bb.-A band ot 60 striking\nbakers sacked a co-operative  bakery\nduring the night   Ther* were several\n'\u25a0*ir.r.f\\ ;\u2022::- *:.   .

Pfaew* IDS.\nNew York, December 20.\u2014The tailor made\ngown is a pressing1 necessity at this season as the warm knitted jackets which\nhave become so fashionable have obviated\nthe necessity of wearing a heavy coat In\nfact comparatively few smartly dressed\nwomen wear coats this year except they\nare made of elegant fur.\nThere are several ways of supplying the\nwarmth and comfort of the heavy cloth\ncoat In the tailor made Jackets, however,\nas are shown by ther capelets and other\nshoulder decorations of smart designs. Then\nthere are Interllnlngs of chamois which\nmakes it Impossible for the cold air to penetrate the system, while they add nothing ln\nbulk to the figure.\nMany of the oloth suits have velvet figuring in their construction in some shape\nor form. Strappings of velvet seem destined to supercede the taffeta and satin\nbands which have done duty so long. One\nvery excellent reason for this change ls that\nricher effects and colorings are obtainable\nby the use of velvet, especially since the\nmanufacturers have attained such excellence in the weaving of panne and chiffon\nvelvets. It is possible to obtain tints in\nthese fabrics that can be gained ln no other\nmaterials and for richness they are unexcelled.\nA striking costume in one of the smart\nshops is developed In biscuit color broadcloth but so light ln weight that It possesses the suppleness of voile or etamlne.\nAt the front the skirt Is box plaited while\nthe bottom Is finished with two applied\ntucks above which are fancy stitched bands\nof shaded brown velvet. From either side\nof the front extending over the hips there\nis a shirred yoke of the cloth and this yoke\nfastens Invisibly at the bock.\nThe Jacket is a blouse and made entirely\nof the velvet. Over the shoulders, however,\nthere are two deep capes of the cloth, faced\nwith brown satin and finishing a yoke of\nshirred cloth and lace. There Is a vest of\nlace over which folds of the velvet open\nand these folds are trimmed with orange,\nwhite and brown embroidery.\nThe sleeves have close fitting cuffs to the\nelbows over which there fall deep puffs of\nvelvet The cuffs are finished with a stitched band of cloth trimmed with an Immense\nbrown velvet button. Extending almost to\n'the tips of the fingers are ruffles of biscuit\ncolor chiffon over white silk which are\nsewed Ln the sleeves.\nA brown panne velvet hat trimmed with\nruchlngs of the same color satin and-shaded\nostrich plumes completes the costume.\nMore attention than ever will be paid to\ncolor schemes this year. For effective\nbackgrounds the sombre shadow tones will\nbe used and upon these will be built the\nmost beautiful color htrmonles. Quaint a\"d\nchangeable browns trimmed with orange\nand -blue will only afford a more striking\nbackground to the dash of red which wilt\nbe Been on many gowns. Bhad blue\u2014that\nstrange tint almost ae deep as Ink\u2014will be\ngarnished with bands of cherry velvet with\nred coral trimmings for belt and hat.\nAnother pretty color scheme Is shown In\na tan costume In the stock. The foundation Ib made of brown satin; over this there\nis a band of heavy Insertion and at the\nupper edge of the stock there are no lens\nthan four materials in as many colors for\nfirst comes a band of burnt-orange velvet,\nthen a band of brown satin, then a fold of\npale green loulslne with a fold of brown\nchiffon over white net The description Is\ncomplicated, but the effect Is simple and\nmost strklng.\nThe acme of all that ts desirable In tho\npresent fashions are the low shoulder draperies which have the perpetual look of\nsliding off. To produce this quaint effect\ntho bertha, cape, pelerine or whatever\neffect Is adopted muBt droop very low over\nthe arms and cover the tops of the sleeves\ncompletely. It Is easy, however, to exaggerate this appearance, therefore ft master\nband should be employed for the work or n\npattern followed tbat has been cut exactly\nto the measure of the wearer.\nThe belt has developed Into such an Important feature of toilette that It Is ne\nlonger a simple affair. The newest designp\nare little Iosb than bodices and are more or.\nlees crushed, according to the build of th<*\nwearer. Several dainty adjustable modelr\nare shown and with theae tha greatest\nlatitude Is permitted \u25a0\u2022 te th* position of\nthe big looped bunch of golden which'la a\nnecessity, especially upon ultra-faahlonible\nevening gowns. It can be pushed around to\nthe center of the back or coquettlshly- planed a little to the left of the front g5&\u00a3\nWhatever changes the season may bring\nit certainly shows no appreciable, reduction\nin the size of the fashionable hate.. The\nnewest Idea ln tho flore effects Is braided\ntaffeta. ThiB Is very dressy and aa black,\ngold, silver and steel braids are much used\nany degree of modesty or ostentation nay:1\nbe reproduced. :-.-.\nWhite felts with garnitures of shaded velvet autumn leaves, violets, roses, lilies and\nholly with berries are making another visitation, In some very dainty design*.the\npetals of the flowers ore used for the crown\nand below the leaves are wreather with\nbunches of white and red ribbon velvet\nViolets are used with other blossom* to\nthe shaded effects, so fashionable in mil'\nllnery as well aa for gowns. Vlelnf with1\ntheae for popular favor are tbe small red\nflowers of the geranium type. Forgefc*me-'\nnota of red velvet probably look odd to\nbotanists, but they are chic when \" '\nInto toques-and combined with the Im\npetals of rose and pink silk popple*.\nOutside of the large hata perhaps .in*\nmost successful shape of the aeaaon 1* th*\ntorpedo. This is a cross between a toque1\nand a flat sailor. It comes ln all color*\nand requires little trimmings and for this\nreason can be grouped among the Inexpensive novelties of the year. In prune,'\nemerald and German green panne nothing-\nis prettier and such a hat effectively\/completes a dress of brown, blue, block or\ngreen cloth. ...    ,\nThe very small hats for matrons of mature years deserve much consideration. A\npretty design recently worn was chit In\nshape and wrought out of braided white,\nchenille touched up with silk flossV and'\nsimply trimmed with green foliage. Toque*'\nof cream lace with a sable animal around\nthe crown are akin to the smart chiffon\nmodels and require but little decoration, -\nNeck chains, unless they are very:elegant, have succumbed to over-popularity,\nbut the chains need not be relegated tb the'\nold junk chest. They are used to laceyto-\ngether sloshes in the voluminous sleeve*\nunder which are puffs of plaited diaphanous fabric* or puffings of lac* insertion'\nfinished with edging to match. \\ . .   .\nIn place of the chains collars and turquoise are worn, i and there le nothing prettier. They are made of several strand* off\nthe beads, caught together with, rhlna?\nstones or pearls.\nNovelties in handbags are the \"flatiron\"\nbags which are displacing the wrist and!\ncarriage models. They are of garnered and\nblue leather, usually the saffian grain and1\nIn place of a regular handle have a wid*\nslit ln the upper edge of the bag Itself on\neach aide. They are equipped with ear*\ncose and pocket book, the latter made of\nbeads In blue and gold or white and pink,!\nlined with soft suede.\nBodice and stock pins are also shown In-\nnew designs. The hand-painted miniature\npit? is most favored and makes a delightful\nlittlo accessory of dress.\nThere are other novelties without end\nalmost and at reasonable cost so that It Is)\neasy to supply the details of the wardrobe-\nthis season.

The sender of this telegram little knew of the skill, th* perseverance and the ready resource of ths\nable engineers directing tbls great work\nwhen he dispatched his message. Difficulties of no common kind have been\nencountered, but they are all ln process\nof being solved, sod satisfactorily solved.\nThe total length of the tunnel wlU be\n12.25 miles, of which distance 0.25 miles\nhave been penetrated on th* north or\nBrlgue side, 4,25 miles on the south or\nItalian side, leaving only 1.8 mile* still\nto be executed.

J. Breton, a French scientist,\nhas lately made a series of experiments\nupon the relative merits of different\npaints, says the Scientific American. He\nsubmitted a aeries of paints whose base\nwaa white lead or oxide of zinc to different action and attacked them by\nstrong reactive agents. From these experiments he brings out the following\nfacta: White lead resists the action of\ncertain acids better than Its substitutes,\nbut on the other hand It ls quite inferior under the action of heat, ot sudden changes of temperature, also of\nhydro-sulphurous emanations and certain strong oxidising agents such as\nhypochlorite of soda. Besides, tbe white\nlead paints are much less adherent to\nthe surfaces to which they are applied\nand have a marked tendency to blow\nup. The addition of sulphate of barium\nto whits lead, while It diminishes its\ncovering power considerably, does not\nseem to render the paint any less resistant The addition of siccative to\nzinc oxide In the proportion needed to\ngive these paints a drying quality which\nIs equal to that of the white lead paints,\ndoe* not diminish the resistance ot the\npaint and appears on the contrary, at\nleast in certain cases, to Increase its\nsolidity. The white lead forms a simple\nmixture with linseed oil, and not a\ncombination, and the mixture ls less\nhomogeneous than that which Ib formed\nby oxide ot zinc\nBy a series of different methods which\ngive very ooncordant results, M. Breton compared the covering power of\nwhits lead and zinc oxide. He tound\nthat for an equal weight the spreading\ncapacity of the zinc oxide Ib nearly\ndouble that ot the white lead. For equal\nvolumes, the covering power of zinc\noxide Is superior to that of tbe white\nlead, but as for equal quantities the first\not these bodies forms a much less fluid\nmixture with the oil, It is necessary ln\npractice to make the zinc paint thicker\nln order to obtain the same result. He\nshows that fresh white lead paint gives\noff emanations containing lead and\nwhich may ln some cases bring about\nserious consequences to persons who are\nobliged to breathe them. This series of\nexperiments forms a new argument ln\nfavor of substituting zinc tor lead\npaints, which is so much to be desired\ntrom a hygienic standpoint, ahd presents so many advantages from a technical point ot view,\t\nTHB BEST RBJIEDT TOR CROUP,\n((tool tk* Atehiean, San..
