Black Ink for Stencils.
The following is commended for the preparation of a black ink or paste for use with stencils:—Boneblack, 1 lb.; molasses, 8 ozs.; sulphuric acid, 4 ozs.; dextrine, 2 ozs.; water sufficient. Mix the acid with about two ounces of water, and add it to the other ingredients, previously mixed together. When the effervescence has subsided, enough water is to be added to form a paste of convenient consistence.
