mummies have lately been called into
use
Mummies are usually preserved in
the finest bitumen. and this ancient
bitumen has. in the course of CEN
turtles, turned the mummies leath-
cry brown tint. 1t has been found
that when the bitumen and the
shreds of mummy are ground down
by machinery. a beautiful brown pig
ment is the result--exactly the tint
required for painting certain shades
of brown hair.
Sepia is one of the commonest OF
artists paints. 1t is deep brown In
ly strange 1t is prepared from the
black inky fluid discharged by the
cuttlefish to blind and battle its en-
emies
Prussian blue is prepared from
horses hoofs, and is made by fusing
the hoofs with potassium carbonate.
Raw sienna is soil from near ST.

common tint, is simply the same earth

The majority of pigments for maxi
ing colors-that is. the dry powder
are obtained from minerals. but many
pigments come from the animal king
