Association" made a report illustrated by
some extremely interesting experiments

Mr.. Merlz, who was demonstrator
showed how combustion Of snbstanceN
which in ordinary parlance Is known as
burning, was impossible In the absence o.
oxygen, the great supporter Of combus
ton. lao.
Phosphorus, one of the most inflam-
mable materials known, which, produced
a very brilliant light when burnt in
oxygen, was Immediately extinguished
when brought In contact with substances
containing no oxygen. 1t was shown
that while such elements as potassium
sodium, or phosphorus, which had pow!
erful affinity for oxygen, would disengage
it from its combination with nitrogen as
in air, or with hydrogen aSin water, they
could not burn in either nitrogen or car
bonic acid gas.
