Ivory to be stained is now to be dipped in aquafortis, t on in cold water, am from thence into the dye, whilst it is warm, which will stain it of a heautift red.

Gram - Tl! Dye bath for this colgour is best made of a solution of verdigris in aqua form the process, in other respects, may be the same as that described for yell? Blue - Dip the ivory that has been made green into a hot and strong sollim of pearl ashes, which will turn it to a fine blue Purple. Dissolve one em of sal-ammoniac in four ounces of aqua regla, to form the dye: prepare ti ivory, as in the yellow, by boiling it in a solution of alum.
