Marking
Ink
without
Preparation.
There
are
several
receipts
for
this
ink,
but
the
following
is
said
to
be
one
of
the
best
of
its
kind:
Dissolve
separately,
one
ounce
of
nitrate
of
silver,
and
one
and
a
half
ounce
of
best
washing
soda
in
distilled
or
rain
water.
Mix
the
solutions,
and
collect
and
wash
the
precipitate
in
a
filter;
whilst
still
moist,
rub
it
up
in
a
marble
or
Wedgwood
mortar
with
three
drachms
of
tartaric
acid;
add
two
ounces
of
distilled
water,
mix
six
drachms
of
white
sugar,
and
ten
drachms
of
powdered
gum
arabic,
half
an
ounce
of
archil,
and
water
to
make
up
six
ounces
in
measure.

Ink
for
Zinc
Garden
Labels.
Verdigris,
one
ounce;
sal-ammoniac,
one
ounce;
lampblack,
half
an
ounce;
water,
half
a
pint.
Mix
in
an
earthenware
mortar,
without
using
a
metal
spatula.
Directions.--To
be
shaken
before
use,
and
used
with
a
clean
quill
pen,
on
bright
zinc.
Note.--Another
kind
of
ink
for
zinc
is
also
used,
made
of
chloride
of
platinum,
five
grains,
dissolved
in
one
ounce
of
distilled
or
rain
water;
but
the
first,
which
is
much
less
expensive,
answers
perfectly,
if
used
as
directed,
on
clean
bright
zinc.

Manifold
Writing
[1].
The
demand
for
a
rapid
and
simple
method
of
multiplying
letters,
circulars,
&c.,
has
led
in
recent
years
to
the
invention
of
several
ingenious
processes.
So
few
copies
are
obtainable
by
the
ordinary
reporters'
system
of
sheets
of
tissue
paper,
or
"flimsy,"
interleaved
with
sheets
of
prepared
black
paper,
that
various
kinds
of
"graphs"
have
been
produced,
by
which
upwards
of
a
hundred,
and
in
some
cases
many
more,
copies
may
be
produced
from
one
writing.
