to the lime watts to be clarified. From
there it is carried to an octuple sys-

ISeNtuple Lille eVapOratOr system Is

wiser to provide for an octuple effect.

Sulphur.

Sulphur occurs very widely distrib-
uted In the mineral kingdom, partly
free and partly combined with other
elements. The free sulphur is either
found pure in regularly formed crys-
tails or intimately mixed with earthly
matters. In its native state sulphur
is largely found in Sicily and Italy and
as a general rule in abundance in vol
canic districts. The brittleness Of sui.
phur renders the cleavage imperfect.
Sulphuric acid is an important com
.bination and a very dangerous M in
inexperienced hands. Sulphur combin.
ed with a number of elements, such at
Iron, copper, lead, ETC., furnishes the
sulphides. In the vegetable kingdom
sulphur is a small constituent Of the
albuminous bodies and of certain vol
atile irritant oils. Moreover, the vege
table juices contain it in the form OF
certain sulphates.
