Pine cones, small kindling or chips can be so treated as to give off color­ ed flames when burned in the fire­ place, Dipped or soaked in a solution of various salts of certain metals, cones or chips will burn with distinc­ tive color. Cones will not readily ab­ sorb water so salts must be suspended in a solution of turpentine. Compounds which produce specific colors when burned are; Red, stronti­ um chloride; green, barium chloride; blue-green, copper oxide or copper sul­ fate; orange, calcium chloride; laven­ der, potasium chloride; yellow, sodi­ um chloride. A second method—if only cones are to be used—is to dip the cones in par­ affin and before the paraffin hardens sprinkle with the following chemicals for desired color effect: Green, copper sulfate; red, strontium nitrate; orange calcium nitrate and yellow, sodium chloride. by P.L.
