A useful Discovcry.-lt is worth
knowing that if one volume Of castor
oil he dissolved in two or three VOL
umes Of spirits Of wine, it will rem
der paper transparent, and, the spirits
rapidly evaporating, the paper in !.
few minutes becomes fit for use. A
drawing in pencil or in Indian ink
can thus 10 made, aud if the paper
is placed in spirits Of wine, tho oil is
dissolved ont, restoring the paper to
its original condition. This is tho
discovery Of Herr Furschcr.
