VOLTITE.

• ■ " ■ - ♦ r ' "Voltite" is a soft ;jrey powder, scientifically . prepared, .• which under-.'the' influcnce.ot, or rather when moistened with, water, and applied to almost any, kind of metal, gives it a coating of silver, giving the article, whatever, it may be, the appearance of electro-plated ware. .The preparation: is not. restricted to silver. Copper and nickel electro-plating. powders of the same character and name may be obtained, all of which seem to'be destined to play a big part in the household, the hotel, the machine-room, indeed, 1 wherever there is metal to'be, kept bright. "Vol-, tite," it is stated, will' silver a -brass tap in a-few seconds. All-that has- to bo done is to thoroughly clean the top, moisten a rag: with' water, dip it into the "Voltite" powder, and rub, it smoothly o'ver the -entire surface. A chemical action is set upiby the conjunction of the metal, the' powder, ana the water,'which results in a' film'; of silver being spread over the article treated. A demonstration as to how "Voltite" should be applied and • what lit is capable of doing is being given daily in Sl'Lean and Archibald's shop in Willis Street'., "Vol\tite" is an Auckland patent, and is being manufactured by Messrs. Firth, Jlosse and C 0.,. metallurgists, of that city.
