The MarUeLs of
Quicksilver

Reading in a bulletin of the geo
logical survey Of new discoveries of
mercury deposits in Arizona. am
reminded of the extraordinary
character of that wonderful metal,
which is very imperfectly known to
manv of US. Notwithstanding the fact
that it is an ancient" element.
1t is no wonder that mercury
puzzled the alchemists and led the
more superstitious among them TO
imagine that il was a kind of tricksy
spirit, WITH whose aid limitless mar
vels might be performed 1t is no
wonder, either, that they named it
for that commercial traveller of the
gods. Mercury. just as they bestow-
ed the same name upon the glitter
ing little planet that lodges from
sunrise TO sunset skies. and back
again. with ceaseless activity, con-
fronting the god of day far more
closely than any other planet can
bear to go.
1t is equally easy to see why in
the wonder wOrshipping middle ages
they called it quicksilver, i. E., live
silver" for there is no other mani
mate thing that bears so striking an
appearance of animation.
It seems "all alive" 1t is a metal
that runs about with ferret speed
after rolling itself up into a little
ball. from whose never-resting and
exquisitely polished surface the re-
flected face of the surrounding
world appears condensed and trans
formed into a sparkling smile.
