Extract

1. Under the conditions of the tests cotton and hemp nets became rotten in Aquarium tank water in two months or less in summer, in 4½–5½ months in winter.

2. A mixed copper soap, containing oleate, stearate, and palmitate, is as good, probably rather better, than is copper oleate as a net preservative.

3. “Cuprinol,” a petroleum acid copper soap, is better than the fatty acid soaps, both in fresh and in salt water. It is more than three times as expensive, however.
