grasses In punches and fasten 10 "A stick over tho
top OF the jar as 10 prevent them from touching
the Jar. but covered well by the solution In A
short time the alum Will crystallize most beautI-
fully and hang like diamonds to the grass A less
strong solution will cover the grass with n hoar
frost. colored solution may be made by dyes

which can be made into beautiful landscape p!ct-
ufes by taking engraving or water-color of a
