MARCH 9th, 1873 .-Place-Ohio Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. The
Professor--AIbert H. Tuttle M. Sc. Pu-
pil-the writer of these notes. Lesson
How to make in oil-eolors large charts
and diagrams for classroom and lecture
hall, that may represent drawings, plates
and cuts, very much enlarged, of the text
books, or that may show drawings from
nature and original designs. Time of
recitation, from a. m. to p. m.
"a. The Ganvas-Get bleached sheeting
(dot3bIe width) well woven, but not the
finest. Prepare a frame with mortises
and lemons, the required size, and so that
the frame may be tightened at will. Tack
the muslin on, stretching it uniformly over
| theifranIe as tightly as possible. Get the
best white glue (bonnet glue), dissolve in
water to the consistency of thin cream
so that it will run freely from the brush.
About four quarts of glue is necessary
! for canvas 6 feet square. When you
wish to apply the dissolved glue, lay the
frame horizontally on two tables or chairs.
Put the sizing on as rapidly as possible
with a large bristle brush (lat paint
brush). Let it dry thoroughly and then
key up the frame tightly. For smaller
sizes, single-width muslin may be pre-
pared in the same way; or ordinary white
window-shade stuff may be used.
B. SFhe sized canvas is now upon the
board, and we are ready for outlining our
drawing. Before this can be done, we
lay off squares on the drawing of the text.
Then calculate from these the relative
size for those on the canvas. We mark
on the margin of the canvas the places for
the lines, and insert tacks, and connect
A.
inal threads. We then trace the outlines
with pencil. In this case it was the
side view of a medicinal Leech.
G. The ColOrs-Ivory black, toned up
by mix ture of parts Japan, l turpen-
tine; p oil. Prussian blue, with a good
deal ofWhite; emerald green, and raw
umber for the brown.
D. We proceed to paint as follows: l,
outline, black; 2, nerves, green; 2, seq
mental organs, blue; 4, alimentary ca
nal, brown; >, reproductive organs, yel-
low.
The above notes indicate little of the
Quality and auantityaof the teaching that
our young people enjoy at this most ex-
cellent institution of our State.
8 p. NIT is our good fortune to meet
Mr.. Henry Moore at his quiet home on
Scioto street. Through long years this
gentleman has honOred the life of faith
: full blacksmith. In all this time, though
the son of toll, he has not forgotten the in
: teresting and aesthetic of the natural
world. A s a consequence, in his old age
he is surrounded by the many treasures
4 of geology and zoology. His scientific
r books and correspondence indicate his ac
quaintance with Drs. Lea andLewis, ,Profs
Tryon and BinHey, and many naturalist!
of the present and past. Such lives Of
tdeyotion fortify against any dark day!
FtoWard life's conclusion.
Our school now enjoy the use of mi
croseopes, one through the Board, anG
two by the generosity of those who loar
them. Any one making proper appliea
o tions, may use these microscopes and tn
/. objects. We have also a microscopic jour
nal that comes monthly to our rooms. |
: is free for reference to any one interestet
f in microscopes.
:. We know of or 10 in our town, VIII
are wonderfully interested in the micro
IS scopes. Why not make an assOcia
IS ton for the use and advancement
b of the microscopes, and let it be auxiliar
to the Central Ohio Science Association
