how oxygen gas may be made in a common tobacco
pipe, by putting into the bowl of the pipe a mixture
of the chlorate of potasa and peroxide of manganese,
and heating it, after covering it over with clay, he
proceeded to exhibit a number of brilliant experi-
ments by the combustion of phosphorus, powdered
charcoal, and other substances, in oxygen gas.
The most remarkable experiment consisted in throw•
ing a blast of oxygen gas on to molten iron,
when a cascade of resplendent stars of fire, of
large sits, issued from the crucible, producing a very
beautiful eff,et. Dr. Frankland said that an ana-
lysis of the fireworks, for which the Japanese are
celebrated, shows them to consist of a mixture of
31 parts, by weight, of nitre, 11 of sulphur, and 1
of carbon, the composition being nearly similar to
that of making "spur fire," which was at one time
common in this country. He exhibited some Japa-
nese matches made in that manner, which threw out
numbers of large and brilliant sparks, and he
greatly excited the juvenile portion of his audience
by stating to them that in his next lecture he should
bring some of the matches to distribute amongst
them. Several of the properties of hydrogen gas
were next more particularly noticed. Its levity,
compared with air, was illustrated by the inflation
of a small balloon ; and the explosive power of the
gas when mixed with oxygen was shown in a
variety of Experimentiyittitteepf.which Dr. Frank•
land-inflated a-nal-alter of 'small soap bubbles with
an explosive mixture of the gases, and ignited them
on his hand, where they'exploded with a loud re-
port. In the next lecture he will illustrate how
coal was put together by Nature.
