BoRAClc ACID IN COMMERCE
Scientists Finally Have Devised q
Way to Produce Commodity
Comparatively cheaply.

Formerly all the boracic, or boric,
acid of commerce was obtained from
borax by heating it with calcined fer
rous sulphate in closed vessels, where
by sodoforic acid was formed, and
boracic acid was carried on with the
Watery vapors, which escaped
This was long and tedious pro-
cess, and not much progress was made
until 1t was discovered that boracic
acid could be obtained from the boil
Ing springs and jets of yapor in Tus-
cany. Long after the discovery OF
boracic acid in these springs, the bril-
liant idea struck the physicist as well
as the chemist to employ the heat
OF the natural steam jets. This
method had the effect of converting
an Improbable branch of industry
into one OF the most successful.
The lagoons are situated near the
top OF one Of the highest hills. AS
the volcanic vapors pass through the
waters OF the lagoons the boracic acid
is arrested by the water, which be-
comes impregnated with 1t. In Cali
fornia 1t occurs as the mineral sasso-
lite, and as a saline incrustation on
the crater of mountain in the Lipari
group, north of Sicily.
