WHITE BRONZE.
Captain L. B. Wolfe, general agent for the " Monumental Bronze Company " of Bridgeport. Connecticut, at Coshocton, furnishes the follow- ing regarding an article now attracting very gen- eral attention :
No article appears more important at present
A little over seven years ago the first experi- ments were made in this country in producing cemetery work from refined New Jersey zine, and given the trade name of " White Bronze," it being a light colored, non-corrosive metal, pos- sessing far greater enduring qualities for this purpose than any of the different kinds of stone now used. The beginning of this enterprise was on a small scale. Soon the fact was developed
than the white bronze for monumental and ceme- tery purposes. Professor Ogdon Doremus, of New York City, asks: " Why was this not thought of years ago?" The accompanying euts exhibit some of the designs, and the following is a brief history of its rise and progress: The Monu- mental Bronze Company is located at Bridgeport, Connectieut.
that a good idea was embodied in the under- taking, and a company in Bridgeport, Connecti- cut, was not slow in accepting an offer to de- velop the matter, and became the sole manu- facturers. Step by step the work went on, until a point was reached where a large inerease of capital was necessary, in order to meet the grow- ing demand for the work. In the winter of

HISTORY OF COSHOCTON COUNTY.
1879-80, the Monumental Bronze Company was organized, with a capital of $300,000, and so rapid has been its growth in popular favor, that the company was compelled to establish a new man- ufactory in the winter of 1880-81 in Detroit, Michigan, making a combined capital now in- vested in their business of $500,000.
Up to Jannary 1, 1881, there were standing in the different cemeteries of the land over 8000 of these monuments, they having sold in 1880 over 1000 jobs. From January 1, to July 1, 1881, there were over 2000 jobs sold, and both manufactories crowded to their utmost to fill orders. The com- piny now has under contemplation the establish-
ing of a third manufactory. So closely is the artistic combined with the mechanical, that, from a small photograph of the living or dead, they can put the portrait on their work, showing every lineament of the features just as plainly as the picture represents them. They also manufacture, in connection with their beautiful monuments, statuary, medallion portraits, portrait busts, etc. All scientific works endorse its durability, and we will quote from the standard authority of the scientific world, i. e. Watt's Dictionary of Chemis- try : " When zinc is exposed to the air or placed in
water, its surface becomes covered with a gray film of oxide, which does not increase. This film will resist the chemical effects of the atmosphere at all times."
The American Machinist asserts that zine is four per cent harder than granite-zinc being twenty- six and granite twenty-two. Why superior to stone ? It never rusts or cracks by the action of the atmosphere, and will not grow moss upon its surface. Quite the contrary is the case with marble and granite, both of which will moss, crack, chip, and granite will rust. Granite is formed of alumina, feldspar, hornblende, iron, mica, potash and silica. Our climate dissolves the feldspar and potash, and the iron rusts.
Marble is the crystalized carbonate of lime, and corbonic acid in the air is a solvent, hence it gets dlingy and rough after a few years exposure to the action of the elements. Both, being porous, absorb moisture and are great feeders of moss and cryptogamous plants. Hence it is that the white bronze is one of the important discoveries of the day. The Detroit manufactory now has completed a medallion portrait of our late Presi- dent Garfield, which is pronounced perfect by his friends. The company is also designing a statue of him, hervie size, in white bronze.
