addition each person entitled to share the old
pany share IN the new company, based on S25oeOd

known fact, and the solution has received
some applications. As a varnish, however,
II does not answer well on account Of the
quantity of bOrax dissolved. Shellao is also
soluble in ammonia, and the solution makes
very good waterproof vsrnish. Puscher
publishes some suggestions for making var
nIshes OF various colors with this solution.
Most OF the insoluble earthly colors may be
mixed with it. Suphate oi lime, however,
Is said to decOmpose the solution. Extract

does aniline green. We have long employed
It to make an indelible INK, which .is espe-
cIally useful for laboratory Labels, a mixture
Of lamp black with the shellac solution re-
naming quite unaffected by acid vaDors.
The colOred solutions are, in fact, available
for many decorative purposes. The plain
solution Is made by macerating three parts
OF white shellac in one part Of strong ammo
MIA diluted with six or eight parts Of water.
This mixture must be frequently shaken for
twelve hours, after which the solution may
be completed by the application Of a gentle
heat.

and his party, 10 the north Of Norway, from
cliH 1000 feet above the sea. The ocean
stretched away in silent vastness at our
fe I; the sound Of its waves scarcely reached
our airy lookout; away in the north, the
huge old sun swung low along the horizon,
like the slow beat Of the pendulum IN the
tall clock of our grandfather's parlor corner
We all stood silent, looking at our watches
When both hsnds came together at twelve,
midnight, the full round orb hung triumph

Combine, if you will, the most brilliant sun

ties will pale before the gorgeous coloring
which now lit up ocean, heaven and noun

up Perceptibly on his beat, the colors
changed to those Of morning, fresh breeze
TiPPled over the food, one songster after
another piped up in the grove behind us
