INDIAN INK.
Consul Fraser Reports on How Tt Il
Manufactured.

Consul Fraser Reports on How II Is
Manufactured.
An interesting account Of the manu-
facture Of the so-called Indian ink,
which IS made only in the Anhui prov
ince of China, is given by Mr. Fraser,
our consul at Wuku, on the Yang-tsze,
in his last trade report. It is more cor
rectIy called China ink-encre de Chine
and from Anhui it goes to every part
of China and all over the world. In
1895 about two tons of It, valued at
e 564, were exported from Shanghai to
foreign countries. The materials with
which this beautiful black ink is made
are sesamum or cola oil, or the oil eX-
pressed from the poisonous seeds Of a
tree extensively cultivated in the Yang
tsze valley, and also well known In
Japan. To this varnish and pork fat
are added. The Iamp-black made by
the combustion Of these substances is
classed according to the materials and
the grade of fneness, and also accord
ing to the time taken over the process
Of combustion. The paste made Of this
lampblack has some glue added, and Is
bea&en on wooden anvils with steel
hammers. Two good hammers can pre-
pare in a day 50 pieces, each weighing
half a pound. 4 certain quantity Of
musk of the muskdeer, or Of Baroos
camphOr, for seeming, and gold leaves.
varying from 20 to 100 to the pound, are
added to give a metallic luster. The
materials thus prepared are nodded in
mOlds of carved wood, dried. which
takes about 20 days in fine weather,
and adorned with Chinese characters in
gliding. About % average-sized sticks
of ink 90 TO the pound. The price
varies from two shilIiDgs OF less per
pound to as much as seven pounds,
there being over a dozen different
grades. Nearly all writing is done by
