THE PRODUCTION OF coLoRs.

Oxide of uranium mixed with oxide of
lead produces straw color.
Carmine color, when used for tender porce-
lain, is prepared with Illuminating gold and
muriata of silver.
By the mixture Of red and black oxide Of
iron in different proportions various shades
OF reddish brown are obtained.
A very permanent red color is produced
by calcining the oxide of iron with double its
own weight of commercial salt.
Purple and violet colors are produced by
dissolving gold in aqua regie nitro muriatic
acid and immersing bar of pure tin in the
solution.
Oxide of manganese is used for black color.
The best black, however, is obtained by the
combination of manganese, brown oxide of
copper and oxide Of cobalt.
Red oxide of iron, prepared by the united
action Of fire and nitric acid, yields red
color which, although beautiful, is less brill
liant than that produced from gold.
For the production of blue, well prepared
oxide Of cobalt is used, mixed with fiux.
Oxides of tin and zinc, added in different pro-
portions, give different shades, from deep
red to light blue.
Green oxide Of copper is generally employed
for the production of green colors. Oxide OF
chromium IS also a beautiful green colcr,
which is, however, destructible under the
heat of a porcelain oven.
Shades of red, deepening from rose color,
and passing from the increasing application
Of heat to brown, are obtained from iron.
The hux employed with this oxide is com
posed of borax, sand and q small portion of
red lead. The coloring may be used either
with or without previous fusion with the fiu1.
To obtain yellow colors. white oxide of an
timony, mixed with sand and oxide of lead,
are employed, the latter substance serving as
a 1ux to the Others. Oxide of tin is some
times added when the color is required to be
lvelier. The colors are not susceptible of
change, but If exposed to the full heat Of
porcelain furnace would be entirely destroyed.

Tho Temperature Of Trees

1t has long been noticed that snow melts
more rapidly Immediately around the trunk
Of a tree than at any other point. The rea-
son given forrthis has been that the tree con-
tains greater degree of heat than the sur
rounding atmosphere, and thiscaused the snow
to melt. From observations recorded by 81.
L. Russell in The Botanical Gazette, it ap-
pears that, as rule, the.temps=ature of the in
terror of tree is somewhat higher tnan that
of the air, except during the warmer parts Of
the day, the maximum temperature of the
air being generally between and p. m,
and the minimum between and Z q. N. The
comparative tables show that heat is absorbed
and radiated more rapidly in the outer lay
ers than in the center. A curious difference
was discovered in the wood of the oak and
pine in winter, it having been found that the
temperature Of the pine was lower than that
Of the oak at all times, except during the lat
ter part of the night and early morning.
This is attributed to the thick coating of the
leaves on the pine preventing absorption Of
heat by the truiik, since the larch. which has
similar wood, resembles the oak rather than
the pine in the matter of temperature. The
further conclusion is reached that the direct
absorption Of heat is the main cause Of the
high temperature Of trees, and that it is
largely dependent upon the character of thu
bark, smooth barked trees being warmer as
rule than thick barked ones

that the ocean is blue. Why tine ocean looks
blue is a question that few who have crossed

prob'ebly many travellers who, though they
have seen most of the famous rivers and lakes
in the world, have failed to notice the re-
markable difference in color which their
waters present. Even the ocean is not uni

green or even yellowiSh.
