them thoroughly with soap and water
and little rotten-stone; then dry them
by wiping and exposure at the fire.
Now get some good copal varnish, mix
it with some bronze powder, and apply
with brush to the denuded parts after
which set the tea-tray in ali oven at a
heat of from 2l2 to 800 degrees, until
the varnish is dry. Two coats will make
the article equal to new.
Antimony Blue.-This color is perma-
nent, says Botinger, and very brilliant.
In order to obtain it, metallicantimony
is dissolved in aquafortis, the solution
filtered through glass, and then added
to a weak solution of yellow prussiate
of potash; after some time the color is
pfeeipitated.= This blue is as beautiful
las -ultramarine. With chrome yellow
this coloring matter forms a green SINH
| lar to that of Sehweinfurth, but which
is much less poisonous. These eolors
are most suitable for paints; they mix
we'll with oil, gum or size.
The decomposition of paste may be
prevented by adding to it small guam
Itity of carbolic acid. In the same way
the disagreeable smell which glue often
has may be ,averted. We may also add
that if a few drops of carbolic acid be
added to ink or 1nucifage they will not
/ mould. For whitewash, especially when
used in cellars or dairies, the addition
of one ounce of carbolic acid to each
gallon will prevent mould, and the dis
agreeable odor which sometimes taints
milk and meat kept in such places.

tspoons and forks are made, which is an
alloy of copper, zinc and nickel, con-
tanning nearly half its weight of copper,
