"A very important mineral lately dis
covered ia France il called b2uxite. 1t
may be regarded IS q hydTateG oxide of

placed by alumnis. The most remarka-
bic thing about it ia thu entire absence of
silica, SO that it does not resemble kaOm
or p0Gter's clay. l. is employed in the
manufacture Of aluminium il forms 8
soluble compound with baryta, which |
enables US 10 obtain alumina free from
iron. BY fusing bsuxite with soda ash
an illuminate of soda Is produced, which
has extensive application ia calico print
ing, and which could be employed in the
manufacture OF glass and OF uitrams-
rine. lt Is also proposed to fuse it with
common salt as a first etep In a new pro-
cess for the manufacture of soda ash. A
large establishment in Newcastle RE-
pares sixty tons OF sulphsts of alumins
every month from bauxite. They also
make illuminate of soda and sulphate of
alumiua from It, the latter salt being Of
great valus in the manufacture Of beet
sugar.
