has been no improvement in earn

ARTISTIC INK BLOTs.
Fluctuations Which Attend the Pro-
cess of Making Them.

From Pearson's Weekly.
This paper concerns blots-blots of ink,
made on blotting paper, grown and cult
waited with care, until. perhaps after many
hours close attention, they have assum-
ed shapes of delicate pattern and extreme
beauty.
If the reader has never before heard of
beautiful ink blots-and certainly the
words would appear paradoxical-let him
read on and maybe he will become so
fascinated with the idea that he will take
up the hobby of cultivating blots with en-
thusiasm.
1t must be explained that the blots I'M
der discussion are not made by merely
filing pen with ink and allowing the
drops to fall on paper; they are grown
and watched with anxious care until they
attain their full measure of beauty and
form. They may be made with ordinary
black or blue-black writing ink, or with
colored inks, or with mixtures of several
kinds of inks; and as a blot grows the
cOlors of the ink sometimes form into diff
ferently colored concentric rings, each
color ring being sharply divided from the
next.
In order to grow beautiful blots you
only require a small basin, an ink bottle,
a piece of glass tubing or a firm straw,
piece of soft lampwick, and. of course,
some ink and blotting naner The ink
bottle is placed in the basin and is filed
with ink The wick is inserted in the
tube. which is placed in the ink bottle and
is kent in an upright position bv a bit
of paper or tin with a hole i'm the center
The blotting paper is then placed oyer the
basin so that its center touches the'slight-
" protruding wick. The blotting paper
thus fed bv the wick absorbs the ink.
while the.blot grows in the form of a cir
Gle and gradually widens owing to the
force of capillary attraction. In less than
an hour it will probably be four inches
