Anoor1ipr 10 Professor ROtt ~Rr Il

According to Professor Bottger, the
simplest method of giving paper and wood
surfaces crystalline coating is rs follows: :
Mix Il very concentrated cold solution of
salt with dextrine, and lay the thnnest
possible coating of the fluid on the surface
to be covered, by the means of 4 broad,
soft brush After driving, the surface has
a beautiful. bright mother-of-pearl coat
ing, which. in consequence of the dextrine.
adheres firmly to paper and wood. The
coating may be made adhesive TO glass by
doing it over with an alcoholic shellac
solution. Professor Bottger mentions the
following salts AS adapted to produce the
most beautiful crystalline coating: Sui
phate of magnesi;,, acetate of soda, and
sulphate of tin. Paper must first be
sized, otherwise it will absorb the fluid
and prevent the formation Of crystal on its
surface. Visiting cards with II mother-of
pearl coating have for some time been in
use Colored glass is well adapted fol
such Il coating, which has a good etfec
when the light shines through.
