 establishment which he owned, the "Imprcnsa [ngleca." He took 

 a deep interest in Brazilian finance and economics and was 

 chosen to organize the official statistical bureau, of which he was 

 the head until a few years ago. While in charge he compiled and 

 published the admirable "Brazilian Year Book." Mr. Wileman 

 had long suffered from a lingering disease. He leaves a son 

 and three daughters; the son, H. F. Wileman, will edit and 

 manage the "Review," which will continue.

as "emergency specials," during the recent railroad strike. There 

 were seventy carloads, weighing about ISO tons, all of the XX 

 lead-free grade. The trains were run on a special schedule 

 almost as fast as passenger trains and relieved the acute short- 

 age of zinc oxide at the rubber plants. 



The New Jersey Zinc Company's new plants now under con- 

 struction will be completed probably in the early fall. The 

 plant at Canon City, Colorado, will furnish a grade of zinc 

 oxide especially suitable for the requirements of the rubber 

 industry.

ORGANIC ACCELERATOR.

 nil and thiocarbanilid, is quite well known among the rubber 

 laboratories as a vulcanization accelerator with recognized ad- 

 vantages. .Among these are its efficiency as a catalyzer and its 

 lesser cost as compared with other catalyzers of similar strength.
