DURABLE INK.
Tne Secret ct Its Manufacture Seems

Tho Secret Of Its Manufacture Seems
to Have Been Lost
The ink manufacturer has made
great strides in his field. He has pro-
duced many colored auids that seem
well adapted to ordinary use But
how long VIII this ink last without
fading?
Did you ever pick up ! letter writ
ten ten or fifteen years ago and note
how much Of it is !llesibIe because the
ink has faded: Some precious docu-
Ecats not century old are preserved
today IN ai- tight cases. so that the ink
will not fade any morc. Others have
been copied in order TO retain the c1-
act chiroSraphy Of the original authors.
Fading ink IS one Of the things In
which the ancien,s did not believe.
Many Of the mcdiaeval manuscripts
six and seven hundreds years old have
their letters formed az Ink that IS rs
black and bright as on tbc day when
first written

Of making durable ink: It IS another
one OF the lost arts that IS worthy OF
investigation. The ancicats had fewer
materials TO work with and less facil-
tiles for laboratory tests. but we must
acknowledge that there arc some
things IN which they excelled u.s.
