Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...mixed as thick as brushes will work. The eight years' test shows that with not too severe conditions such paint, two coats, will last eight, and possibly ten, or more years. The philosophy of it is that the red lead and oil form a cement which holds the graphite in place. The surface consists of graphite, which resists the action of acid and water as well as gas direct. Of course any paint must be applied to a clean surface. This is difficult to obtain, but a sine r/na non for success.

Iron, when kept properly painted, should have little need of sand blast cleaning. B. The sand blast action of a locomotive exhaust adds a very serious complication. On lines of heavy traffic it will cut through a 1-inch pine board in three months. About thirty trains a day starting from a station stop will cut through liinches of Portland concrete in about four years. Concrete reapplied will not last nearly so long. Tin.-vxperlenue of the Wolff Bicycle Company entirely refutes this theory. A piece of thin tubing was held continuously In the current from a sand blast machine for twenty minutes. At the end of ihat time, with a micrometer caliper, measuring to one thousandth of an inch, no dlminuation In the size of fhe tube was apparent. See Transactions American Society Civil Engineers tor June, 1903.--Ed. In a comparatively recent bridge near Boston the bottom flanges of 1 beams were covered with a 10-inch sheet of lead. This lasted some six months under very unfavorable conditions. Possibly a plate of say inch would be better, as it would tend to cushion the blast action. The writer would like to see this tried.
