A supplement to Ures Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, : containing a clear exposition of their principles and practice. . nts is then stretched tightlya woollen sieve; the surface of this cloth is cemented withmelted resin string about ^ of an inch thick, following theconfigurations of the compartments; the use of this is toprevent the colors mixing and becoming blended at theedges. Colors are now put in the reservoirs, which are keptfilled up above the height of the cloth, so that a gentle pres-sure is exerted against the under side of the sieve.
