1t occurs to us that a man

READERS CLEARING HOUSE
Coal Flowers

Mrs. H. S., Hughesville. Va.
For the lady who wanted in
formation on coal flowers. both
these recipes are out Of my
RICH scrapbooks and were
printed In The Star.
The FIRST is for 6 tablespoons
salt, 6 tablespoons bluing. 8
tablespoons water, l table,
spoon ammonia water. After
thoroughly mixing, pour over
clinker from the furnace. q
piece of coke or a brick. After
piece has been well wet with
the liquid, drop on 1t a few
drops Of mercurochrome solu-
ton or red or green ink, Do
not use any other solution in
the mixture or you might get
an adverse chemical reaction.
After materials have been
brought together Q coral-iike
growth soon begins to appear
on the clinker. This increases
rapidly. It also tends to form
on the edges of the dish and
will climb up and over them
unless the edges have been
rubbed with vaseline. Addition
Of a little more ammonia water
to the dish viii produce more
growth after the first has
stopped. Or. the whole may
be allowed to dry and then
kept without further change.
The second recipe calls for
l lump of hard coal placed
in a bowl, 4 tablespoons salt,
2 tablespoon bluing. 3 table,
spoons water, 6 drops mercu-
rochrome. add these ingre-
dents in the order mentioned.)
A few drops Of water once a
week ton the side Of the coaD
after original mixture has been
absorbed will keep 1t moist
and growing. If the growth
should 60 over the bowl do not
put CUTOFF pieces in the drain,
but place in the trash. as the
water will make it grow In the
