,nd,, Ink Really Chinese Ink.


The intensely black inks have varl'
Gus sorts Of finely divided carbon as
their pigment, and the vehicle In most
instances is some type Of oil or var
nish. India Ink is the name often ap-
piled to what Is in reality Chinese
ink. The best Of this variety comes
from the Anhui province and Is maoe
from the lamp black produced wnen
wood oil Is slowly burned In one earth
enware vessel and the SCOT or lamp
black produced is collected on the
sides of second Jar placed above the
FIRST. A paste is made with varnish
and pork fat and this Is then mixed
with glue. Some ink Is made from
the SCOT of sesame or rapeseed oil.
but In any case the paste Is pressed
into molds. There are, OF course
many grades of this ink, the lower
being made from the coarser SCOT and
glue. In 1918 the Chinese exported
$4,000 pounds Of this ink.-Scientlnf

of Samoset, who was q Maine Indian,

DIANA,
A nouBLE FAMILY .aEuN1oN

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: It is interesting to read accounts of your social gatherings, and I believe nothing promotes friendship more than "get-to- gether' and have good time. Many of the writers, like myself, cannot be with you often, but we can have the pleasure of feeling we are with you in thought
 though absent in body. I am also glad to read of family reunions wherever they may be held. I think it is always worth the time and work these occasions re- quire. It has been my pleasure to at tend a double family reunion which oc- curred in the quaint little town of Sand wich, Mass, on Cape Cod. during the second week of August. The first three days were given. to the Nye family, and over one hundred people responded to their invitation to meet once more in this New England village, once the home ot their early ancestors. The descendants came from various states, many from Ohio some from Illinois, Missouri, Vir- ginia, Minnesota. New York. Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, California, with larger representation from Massa- chusetts We held business meeting and social gatherings, perhaps the greatest fea- ture was the family dinner. followed by short speeches, spokesman from each state, except three It was a grand sue cess in every way and all were glad it was possible to be present. Following
