seIenium . Rare clemens.

Selenium is a rare and lttle-used
element described by the United
States Geological survey, Department
of the Interior, as having it's greatest
use in giving a red color TO glass,
such as that used In railroads for
signal lights, and In coloring enameled
ware red. 1t is also used to overcome
the natural green color of ordinary
glass. Selenium Is peculiar In being
very poor conductor of electricity In
the dark and a fairly good conductor
In the light and is used in several
electric devices whose utility depends
on this popularity. 1t has been used
in telephoning along ray of light and
in transmitting sounds and photo
graphs from one place to another over
wire.
