A MOST brilliant light has been produced
by London chemist by a very simple
method. He finds that, when common
saltpeter or nitrate of potassium is heated
| to temperature somewhat beyond the
point of fusion in hard glass tube or
porcelain capsule mounted over spirit
/ lamp, and small pieces of sulphur are then
successively introduced, a detlagration
ensues, accompanied by the emission of an
intensely powerful white light, which is
maintained rs long as any of the sulphur
remains floating as a molten globule in the
fluid nitrate. The cost of this light is, OF
course, very trifling both ingredients be.
ing exceedingly cheap. Thus, one ounce
of inter melted and fed with sulphur at the
rate of eight or ten grains at time will
keep up brilliant light for about ten
minutes at the expense for materials OF
one cent
