TIM Ameican Agicultafta says: II
one waits until his phlox, pansy, balsam
and some other seeds are ripe, he wil
gather none. These plants and other
have q way of bursting their capsules q!
soon as ripe, and throwing the seeds a
far as possible. The only way to manag.
these is to take them as soon as the see(
vessel is Uniformed and shows signs Of
maturity, and put them where they car
scatter without losa We have used wir,
sleeves to cover such seed pods, and foun(
them to work admirably. It is. necessary
for one who would save seeds, whether fol
his own use or for sale, to study the habi
of each plant, see what its natural mod,
of distributing its seeds is and anticipate
it. 49, $50
To MAKE PAPER TRANsPARENT.-Art
lists, architects, land surveyors, and al
who have occasion to make use of tracing
paper in their professional duties will b.
glad to know that any paper capable o
the transfer of a drawing in ordinary ink
pencil, or water colors, and that even
stout drawing paper, can be made as trans
parent as the thin, yellowish paper at pres
ent used for tracing purposes. The lquit
used is benzine If the paper be dampe'
with pure and fresh distilled benzine it q
once assumes a transparency, and permit
of the tracing being made, and of ink o
water colors being used on its surface with
out any " running" The paper resume
its opacity as the benzine evsporstes, an
if the drawing is not completed. til
requisite portion of the paper must be agail
damped with the benxine. The trans
parent calico, on which understandable traC
iHgs can be made, was most valuable in
vention, and this new discovery Of the prop
critics of the benzine will prove of furthe
service to many branches of the art pro
fession, in allowing the use of stiff pape
