In these experiments the current has been continued during a month in activity, and the powder collected on the wires has been found to ho autticiently bard to polish rabies, with great rapidity, and when burnt it left no mettles,. A windier result has hewn obtained by deeomposing a mixture of chloride of carbon and alcohol by weak galvanic currents. The black powder deposited was found to possess equal hardness with that which was sublimed, and rubies were readily polished by it.
