rial which Will peel off. One Of the best
methods is to take Il solution Of nitrate Of
silver, pour in liquid ammonia till the pre-
cipitate formed at first is entirely dissolved
again; then place the paper, silk, or muslin,
for cne or two hours in this solution. Al
ter taking it out and drying well, it is ex-
posed to a current of hydrogen gas. by which
operation the silver is reduced to a metallic
state. and the material becomes SO good a
conductor OF electricity that it may be elec-
tro-plated with copper, silver, or gold, in
the usual manner Material prepared in
this manner may be employed for various
useful and ornamental purposes.
