Paper and Printing Recipes.

HOW TO REMOVE COMMON WRITING INK FROM PAPER WITHOUT INJURY TO THE PRINT.

Common writing ink may be removed from paper without injury to the print by oxalic acid and lime, carefully washing it in water before restoring it to the volume.

TO RENDER PENCIL NOTES INDELIBLE.

Pencil notes found in a book, or placed there as annotations, may be rendered indelible by washing them with a soft sponge dipped in warm vellum size or milk.

TO REMOVE GREASE SPOTS FROM PAPER.

Grease may be removed from paper in the following manner: Warm gradually the parts containing the grease, and extract as much as possible of it by applying blotting-paper. Apply to the warm paper with a soft, clean brush, some clear essential oil of turpentine that has been boiled, and then complete the operation by rubbing over a little rectified spirits of wine.

HOW TO DETECT ARSENIC IN PAPER.

A simple method for detecting arsenic in paper, cards, etc., is described as follows:--Immerse the suspected paper in strong ammonia on a white plate or saucer; if the ammonia becomes blue, the presence of salt of copper is proved; then drop a crystal of nitrate of silver into the blue liquid, and, if any arsenic be present, the crystal will become coated with yellow arseniate of silver, which will disappear on stirring.

AN INK RESTORER.

The process consists in moistening the paper with water and then passing over the lines in writing a brush which has been wet in a solution of sulphide of ammonia. The writing will immediately appear quite dark in color, and this color, in the case of parchment, it will preserve.
