Alchy ymists, its range is extended over every OBJ

the air we breathe, will cause rod Of iron to burn
brilliantly and that the diamond, priced high,
is composed Of the same material coal. Thi.
wonderful science also shows us that there are
metals which will swim on water and burn sPon-
taneousy with bright fame, and finally, that il
is probable the universe is constituted Of oxygen

in general sufficiently tenacious of their
