Smaller pieces may be steeped for some time in the de- coction, which is prepared in the following manner: One part of logwood of best quality is boiled with 10 parts of water. It is then filtered through linen and the liquid evaporated at low tempera- ture until its volume is reduced by one-half. To every quart of this bath is added 10 to 15 drops of a saturated solution of soluble indigo.

This operation is re- peated until a black color of the desired intensity is obtained. A New Timber World Away up in the n
