   Zemstvo \Zem"stvo\, n. [Russ., fr. zemlya land.]
      In Russia, an elective local district and provincial
      administrative assembly. Originally it was composed of
      representatives elected by the peasantry, the householders of
      the towns, and the landed proprietors. In the reign of
      Alexander III. the power of the noble landowners was
      increased, the peasants allowed only to elect candidates from
      whom the governor of the province nominated the deputy, and
      all acts of the zemstvo subjected to the approval of the
      governor. Theoretically the zemstvo has large powers relating
      to taxation, education, public health, etc., but practically
      these powers are in most cases limited to the adjustment of
      the state taxation.

   Zinc \Zinc\ (z[icr][nsm]k), n. [G. zink, probably akin to zinn
      tin: cf. F. zinc, from the German. Cf. {Tin}.] (Chem.)
      An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group, extracted
      principally from the minerals zinc blende, smithsonite,
      calamine, and franklinite, as an easily fusible bluish white
      metal, which is malleable, especially when heated. It is not
      easily oxidized in moist air, and hence is used for sheeting,
      coating galvanized iron, etc. It is used in making brass,
      britannia, and other alloys, and is also largely consumed in
      electric batteries. Symbol Zn. Atomic weight 64.9. [Formerly
      written also {zink}.]

            deliquescent white waxy or oily substance.
  
      {Oxide of zinc}. (Chem.) See {Zinc oxide}, below.
  
      {Zinc amine} (Chem.), a white amorphous substance,
            {Zn(NH2)2}, obtained by the action of ammonia on zinc
            ethyl; -- called also {zinc amide}.
  
      {Zinc amyle} (Chem.), a colorless, transparent liquid,
            composed of zinc and amyle, which, when exposed to the
            atmosphere, emits fumes, and absorbs oxygen with rapidity.
           
  
      {Zinc blende} [cf. G. zinkblende] (Min.), a native zinc
            sulphide. See {Blende}, n.
      (a) .
  
      {Zinc bloom} [cf. G. zinkblumen flowers of zinc, oxide of
            zinc] (Min.), hydrous carbonate of zinc, usually occurring
            in white earthy incrustations; -- called also
            {hydrozincite}.
  
      {Zinc ethyl} (Chem.), a colorless, transparent, poisonous
            liquid, composed of zinc and ethyl, which takes fire
            spontaneously on exposure to the atmosphere.
  
      {Zinc green}, a green pigment consisting of zinc and cobalt
            oxides; -- called also {Rinmann's green}.
  
      {Zinc methyl} (Chem.), a colorless mobile liquid {Zn(CH3)2},
            produced by the action of methyl iodide on a zinc sodium
            alloy. It has a disagreeable odor, and is spontaneously
            inflammable in the air. It has been of great importance in
            the synthesis of organic compounds, and is the type of a
            large series of similar compounds, as zinc ethyl, zinc
            amyle, etc.
  
      {Zinc oxide} (Chem.), the oxide of zinc, {ZnO}, forming a
            light fluffy sublimate when zinc is burned; -- called also
