Substitute for tracing paper.

--A way good substitute for tracing paper may be manufactured with ordinary paper by the help of a little benzol. A sheet of ordinary Bath post, moistened with this oil, renders the material perfectly transparent; the tracing may their be effected, and within a short time the volatile fluid has evaporated and left the paper perfectly opaque and clear as before. The drawing sustains no detriment by the operation.
