| ROSS'S Patent Artificial Slate,

AND

Unchangeable Metallic Paints ; PROOF AGAINST FIRS AND WATER.

MANUFACTURED BY THE PATENTEE, IN COLCHESTER, NOVA SCOTIA.

HE ARTIFICIAL Siate is the product of a mixture of mineral substances, known to be the best non-conductors of eat as well as the most indestructible ; the chemical affinity of which converts the surfaces of materials covered, into a Coating of Actual -Slate—Proof against Fm E and WATSE. Thus the laws of mature are made to accomplish results as surprising as they are useful, by render- ing wooden fabrics as durable as brick or stone, and less pervious to moisture, and consequently preventing decay and destruction from corroding influences hi- therto supposed unattainable. '

The principal ingredients are Alumina, Silica and the Oxides of Iron. The ad- hesive quality of the latter not only binds and attracts the particles togeth: -, but the substance is coverec also. The longer exposed to the weather the more powerful the attraction, and consequently the hard- ee the alate. As various shades of colour ere obtained, Black buildings may be made impervious to moisture, and the fashionable colours of either Free Stone or Granite. The oil must be evaporated by the action of the weather before it is

ire proof, which will take from nine to twelve months.

The Merauric Patnts, Purple and med, are offered as Weather and Water proof solely. Their base being Iron, se- eures them from Galvanic action so fata) to lead and other Paints on Jron work— and their chemica) combination makes it impossible that any change should take place froin atmospheric influence, or the action of salt water and sulphurated hy- drogen, so prevalent in sea ports and tidal harbours. ‘They surpsss ali Paints yet discovered in Cheapness and Durability, which render them pre-erminently adapted to the covering of al! kinds of lron work, éuch as Shipping, Mills, Bridges, Steam Machinery, Railway Cars, and Iron Rail- ing. The Meracuic Patnrs have been analysed by Professor Hays of Boston. The fullowing is an extract from his Cer- tuficate:—“ As a permanent pigment, this mineral must rank with the most indes- tructible and unch ingeable bases. For co- vering Metallic Ware, its composition shews that it is eminently fitted.

(Signed) Aver. A. Hays, State Agsayer.

Directions.—Artiricia, State, Mix the powder with pure Boiled Linseed Oil and a little Spirits of Turpentine to the consistency of very thick paint, and apply with a coinmon Brush, beimg careful to keep the mixture we\\ stirred while put- ting iton. One pound will cover ten

uare of feet with two coats.

If shingles have been on for years, it will be necessary to sweep off the moss and Jint with a stiff broom; two or three coats of this materia! wil] make it a per- fect slate roof, proof against Fire and Water.

The Meraruic Paints are mixed and put on like an ordinary paint.

Dear Sir—We have much pleasure in saying, agreeably to your request, and we hope it will asgist you in bringing the * Patent Metallic Iron Paint” favourably under the notice of ship owaers generally, that we have had several new vessels painted with the purple, and found it all that it ie represented by the Patentee’s printed circular. One of our vessels was painted with it in October last, she went from here to Liverpool, from Liverpooi to -Mobile, and in April last saw her in the latter port looking more like having come out of the Painter's hands than having performed the voyages just mentioned.

Youre, &c. Wm. & R. Wrieut,

Jeun Ross, Esq. Patentec of the Purple Me- tallic [ron Paint:

Sir—l have just painted a new ship with your Metallic Iron Paint, and [ have much pleasure in stating that I never painted a ship with so small a quantity of Paint and Oil, and look so well. From its adhesive qualities and the manner it co- vers the wood, I have no doubt but it will be more durable and much cheaper than any other paint used for such purposes, and would recommend it to the public generally. Yours, &c.

Rosert G. Moran SAINT JOHN, N. B. July 20, 1850. JoHN moss, Esq —

Sir—I have lately painted a new Brig with your Purple Metallic Iron Paint, and have pleasure in stating that I never paint- ed a vessel to look so well at so small a cost, and am fully persuaded it is the best article in use for ship or Iron Work, and would recominend it to the public gene rally, It only wants to be tried to prove its cheapness and durability.

Yours, &c. Joun Krirx, SALN'T JOHN, N. B. July 23, 1250. Jo HN oss, EsQa.— :

Sir,—{ nave used your Patent Metallic Pamt, and find it has givea perfect satisfaction. I think it is a superior arti- cle for any work exposed to the action of Salt Water, as it stands well in any cli- mate. I dohighly recommend it for ship Work, Iron covered building, &c.

The Artificial Slate Paint, if it was more generally used we would have less fires in our City than we have had, it also preserves the shingles from Rot; the cheapness of your Paints is highly in their favour, if nothing else.

G.'l’. Tnompson, Painter. Joun Ross, Esqa.—

Six,—We have greet pleasure in bear- ing testimony to the superior qualities’ of your Metallic Paint. We tried it on the steamer “ Maid of Erin,” in March, and since on our new ship the “Lady Bla- ney.” We consider it cheaper and more durable than any other Paint we have ever used, Ra: Parks & Son.

FREDERICTON, N. B. Nov. 13, 1850. Mr. J. W. tris,

Dear Srr,—Please send us two more barrels of your Artificial Slate. We have seen soine of the good effects of it at the last fire. Some of the Roofs covered with it did not catch at all, and when walls were burnt some of the roofs came down in one piece, and others were the means of saving the building.especial- ly one roof alongside of the Bank B. N. A., which also was one means of saving the Bank.

Please see that i® ison board of the first boat, as it might be neglected and stored. Your obedient Servants,

Srewart & Nett. GAS WORKS, HALIFAX, N.S. Nov.12, i850 Joun Koss, Esq —~

Dear Sir—It affords me much pleasure to bear testimony to the great superiority which | consider your Patent Metallic Paint possesses over lead. I have paint- ed our Gasholdera with Red Lead Paint regularly every Spring for the last three years, and no sooner were they immersed in the water contained in tne Tanks than | observed the effects. of the Ammonia, marking the depth to which it had been in the water; this continued until Spring again, by which time it had almost be come white. J painted them this Jast spring with your Metallic Paint, and can- not yet observe any difference of colour. The part which goes among the water remains the same colour as that which does not. From its adhesive quality as wel! as cheapness, I consider it superior to any thing I have ever seen for Iron Work. 1 have also used the Artificial Slate Paint, and have no hesitation in saying that (if used as directed by your Circular,) it is destined to be The Paint for Wooden Buildings,
