A NEW ART.-Decalcoman is one of those
words that few understand, end as the science
is of recent invention, it requires some ex-
PLANTATION. This almost unpronounceable word
describes the art of ornamenting china, glass,
earthenware and woodenware Of whatever
kind, such as jewel and other fancy boxes,
ivory and paper mache goods, japanned tn
ware bindings of books, cigar cases, fans,
leather work of every description; in short,
every possible article considered worth while
to bo ornamented and beautifed, and thus in
creased in value by this new process. Il is
simple to perform, durable and very effective.
The designs are printed in colors uron pa
per 80 prepared that after they are ce-
mented to the surface of the article intended
to be decorated, by simply dampening the
back of tho paper, it may be at once and en-
tirely removed and the finished ork exactly
resembles painting; nothing but the colored
design remaining upon the work. The method
is simple and can be practiccu by anybody, ex-
hibiting the taste of the person and producing
the effect Of real painting. Mr.. Won Santeu
has obtained number of the impimcnts and
utensils necessary to produce this astonishing
transformation, and has several samples on ex-
hibition, which will convice the incredulous Of
the efficiency Of the process. 1t is one of the
most entertaining amusements that has ever
been invented, and those who make the small
outlay necessary will be more than recon-
pcnsed by the interest that is taken in the pro-
cess ard the gratifying result that is produced
Mr.. Vol Santen is the only agent for the De-
calcomanie in this city and has but a limited
supply of the new wonder.
