India Ink.


1t is often desirable to finish photographs
and drawings in India ink, in order to Get the
best effect, and this can be done, by tasteful
person, at home, fully as we'll, and with greater
satisfaction, than when sent to some distant
professional. The greatest trouble is the diff
Guilty OF procuring genuine Chinese ink. The
Scientlhc American recently gave, in answer
70 request, thh following formula for prepar-
ing perfect India ink the formula being from
hlnauits treatise on tina manufacture OF COL
ors:
Calcined lampblack, 100 parts; bosehead
shale black, in impalpable powder 30 parts;
indago carmine, in cakes, ten parts carmine
lake, 5 parts gum arabic FIRST quality 10
parts; purified oxgall, 20 parts; alcoholic ex
tract of musk, 8 parts.
The gum is dissolved in so or go parts of pure
water. and the solution filtered through a
cloth. The indigo carmine, lake, lampblack
and shale black are incorporated with this
liquor. and the whole ground upon slab, with
a muller, in the same manner as ordinary col
ors, but in this case the grinding takes much
longer. When the paste is thoroughly homo
geneous, the oxgall is gradually added, and
then the alcoholic extract of musk. The more
the black is ground, the finer it is. The black
is then allowed to drip in the air until il has &C
quired sufficient consistency to be nodded into
cakes, which in their turn are still further
dried in the air, out of the reach of dust When
