twenty Jumps more of coal, as soon as

from ten to twenty Jumps of coal and set
the draft open; when these are heated
through and somewhat ignited add the
amount necessary for new fire but do
not disturb the ashes yet, let the draft be
open half an hour, then shake out the
ashes, the coal will be thoroughly igni-
ted and keep hot from six to ten hours,

CoLoRs IN FEEsco.-In fresco work,
only those colors can be used which
light viii not act upon or lime deter
iorate. The fresco painter is therefore
limited to few pigments, which are
principally natural colors or earths, and
consequently sober in hue. The blue is
the cnIy brilliant color in fresco; but
the old artists rarely employed either the
cobalt. or the still more beautiful ultra
marine used in modern froscoes-prob-
ably on account, partly, Of the cxpen-

commonly iaded, there being only now
and then an exception to this fact
The blacks and grays, which are ne rly
all derived from animal and vegetable
substances, have also proved very fug-
tive, Lime is mlxel with the colors
bat lime Itself is also used alone as a
pigment lor the lights, the presence of
sand with the lime rendering the paster
