M. P. — Mother of Pearl and opal lustres should be applied very heavy; 
flow them on. Do not mind if they look uneven, as it gives it an iridescent 
effect. Do not use turpentine with lustres. The china may be cleaned with 
alcohol. 
E. N. M. — You will find asphaltum the most satisfactory article to use 
for etching. Use turpentine asphaltum and take out only a little at a time, as 
it soon becomes stiff when exposed to the air. You can thin it with turpen- 
tine if it gets too stiff. The alloy in gold makes it wear better; using only a 
little will not change the color very much. Formula for gold bronze: — Mix 
5 % of oxide of chrome and 10 % of silver. If the silver cannot be obtained 
in powder form or is not sufficiently fine, it may be prepared by dissolving a 
silver coin, or any piece of pure silver in nitric acid mixed with two-thirds its 
weight in water. After silver is dissolved it can be precipitated by adding 
carbonate of soda until the acid is neutralized, together with a few drops of 
ammonia. The mixture should be well washed, which is done by pouring on hot 
water and stirring. It is allowed to settle and the liquid is poured off or re- 
moved with a syphon. Water is repeatedly added and the stirring also re- 
peated until it is quite clear and tasteless. Then the water is taken off as 
much as possible without disturbing the sediment, which is poured on blotting 
paper or a plaster slab to dry. Several thicknesses of blotting paper is required. 
It is then mixed with 2§ per cent. flux. We do not know of any new Belleek 
company unless you refer to the Lenox Co., who have bought out the Ceramic 
Co. at Trenton, N. J.
