sodium yards and of a width approximating 24 inches, seid paper bein tinted e. relatively dark lend color et the mi. This loud colored peper we decorate with dabs of while aint to represent snow the dabs of rod an yellow peint to represent mineral deposits. While still wet the paint is brushed out in veri ated Were-'libe fashion to produce Vveiuike and other irregular effects. The peper so treated is allowed to dry und is then resented to and paesed through e. bath or so ution of potessium permangnnete and sodium silicate. Such solution is of an edhesive nature. We now sprinkle materiel known iis green iiioss end ground mica upon the treated adhesive surface of the peper in an irregulnr manner. Tho peper so trented is now permitted to dry, the potessium permengenete assisting in the rapid drying of the treated surface. The paper is now possessed of lire resisting characteristics end experience demonstrates that even when ub'ectsd to o high heat it will merely glow en disintegrate instand of bursting into n Home. Our prepared peper is quite pliable which ie importent since it must stand considerable crumpling or like lmanipule- If the e er when treeted is posseseed of etid, rittle characteristics it connot be satisfactorily employed for the purposo designed. 'Die repered peper is now rei-rolled for wholeee e distribution and is retailed hy the yerd. It is peeeeeeed of ecm' cient bod eo that when crumpled to deaired con guretion ee e. miniature mountain, tunnel or the like it in colf-eu porting. In practice we have found that arimth or eolution of sigproximetely eight (8) parte of 'cete ond ,one (l) port of potessium n mi given excellent rulte.

It will now be apparent that we have devised a novel and useful construction which embodies the features of advantage enumerated .as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description and While We have inthe pres-ent instance shown and described the preferred kembodiment thereof which has been found in ractice to 've satisfecho and reliable resu ts, it is to e understood t at the same is susceptible of modification in various particulars vwithout departing from the spirit or 'scope ofthe invention or sacrificing any of its advana m. avng thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s:
