R INK.--For silver ink the process is the same as gold,
substituting Silver Leaf for the Gold leaf.

INDELIBLE INK FOR GLASS OR METAL.--Borax one ounce, Shellac two ounces,
Water eighteen fluid ounces; boil in a covered vessel, add of thick
Mucilage one ounce; triturate it with Levigated Indigo and Lamp Black
q.s. to give it a good color. After two hours' repose decant from the
dregs and bottle for use. It may be bronzed after being applied.
Resists moisture, chlorine and gases.

BROWN INK.--A strong decoction of Catechu. The shade may be varied by
the cautious addition of a little weak solution of bicromate of potash.

LUMINOUS INK.--Shines in the dark. Phosphorous one-half drachm, Oil
Cinnamon one-half ounce; mix in a vial, cork tightly, heat it slowly
until mixed. A letter written in this ink can only be read in a dark
room, when the writing will have the appearance of a fire.

TICKETING INK FOR GROCERS, ETC.--Dissolve one ounce of Gum Arabic in
six ounces of Water and strain; this is the Mucilage; for a _black
color_ use Drop Black, powdered and ground with the mucilage to extreme
fineness; for _blue_, Ultra-Marine is used in the same manner; for
_green_, Emerald Green; for _white_, Flake White; _red_, Vermillion,
Lake or Carmine; for _yellow_, Chrome Yellow. When ground too thick
they are thinned with a little water. Apply to the cards with a small
brush. The cards may be sized with a thin glue, afterward varnished, if
it is desired to preserve them.

COMMON INK.--To one gallon boiling Soft Water add three-fourths ounce
Extract of Logwood; boil two minutes; remove from the fire and stir in
forty-eight grains Bichromate of Potash and eight grains Prussiate of
Potash. For ten gallons use six and one-half ounces Logwood Extract,
one ounce Bichromate of Potash, and eighty grains Prussiate Potash;
strain. Six cents should buy the former and twenty-five cents the
latter.

RED INK.--In an ounce phial put one teaspoonful Aqua Ammonia, Gum
Arabic size of two or three peas, and six grains No. 40 Carmine. Fill
up with soft water and it is soon ready for use.

INK FOR MARKING PACKAGES.--Take Lamp Black and mix thoroughly with
sufficient Turpentine to make it thin enough to flow from the brush.
Powdered Ultra-Marine instead of Lamp Black, makes a fine blue marking
mixture for the same purpose.
