Sulphur.

Sulphur is solid substance, that oc-
ours in masses, or in powder. 1t is
usually of volcanic origin, but is nearly
universally diiiused. lis taste and color
are peculiar. 1t easily ignite5 and Lurns
in air, and so doing yields sullocating
gas. Sulphur combines with the ores of
some metals, and exists in some vege-
tub and animal substances. 1t exists
in eggs, as we may see on eating Them
with a silver spoon; the sulphur in the
substance of the egg furnishes it. This
element is chiefly found in volcanic
countries, and there it combines with
ores, forming sulphur compounds. It
is constituent of several abun liant
salts, as those OF lime and soda True
sulphur is found mixed with earthly
matters, and is also found in distinct
veins. and sometimes in the shape of
regularly formed crystals. Nine-tenths
of the sulphur used comes from Sicily
Native sulphur is usually roughly
purit ed when it happens to be found If
the earth is rich in sulphur. the ore is
heated in large kettles and the melted
sulphur is dipped of, while the earthly
i'm urities settle to the bottom of the
kettle. Sometimes impure sulphur is
piled into heaps and ignited. and melts
other portions of the heap. SO that the
melted sulphur flows into receivers.
Crude sulphur comes in irregular masses.
and has dirty. light yellow color. This
material is purified by distilling it from
iron relorts into large chambers CON
structed Of masonry, in which it is de-
posted, as a light powder, known as
lowers Of sulphur; or it may be depos-
tied as q liquid, depending upon the
temperature Of the chambers.
Sulphur is distinguished from all other
elements by its yellow color, its peculiar
luster, and by emitting, when burning,
suliocating fumes. When pure it is
nearly tasteless and odorless, and is in.
soluble in water. IL is a bad conductor
oil heat and electricity. At ordinary
temperatures sulphur is brittle solid
OF light yellow color. Rubbing it de.
velopes peculiar odor. 1t melts at 10(
degrees Fahrenheit and forms a limpic
, liquid of light yellow color. If heated
! to 150 degrees it becomes viscid anC
: dark. At 1870 degrees it becomes near
