The old English word "brimstone"
means burn stone" and it Is Just
another name for sulphur. Sui
phur, or birthstone, is one of the
few minerals which will burn easily.
Coal Is another mineral which can
easily be made to take fire.
Pure sulphur has little or no
smell, but when it burns it forms
q gas with bad smell If a human
being breathes in much of this gas
his lungs will be checked up and
he will die.
If sulphur is placed in a metal
container and heated it goes through
rather strange changes. 1t will melt
and IN that way it acts like metal,
but keep on adding to the heat,
and odd things will happen.
Sulphur turns into yellow liquid
at temperature of only 230 de-
grees above zero, Fahrenheit. At
that point the liquid is thin enough
but heat it to 482 degrees and it
will become thicker than molasses!
If We heat the sulphur still more,
up to 832 degrees, it will not be
thick any longer-it will be a boil
ing liquid! The vapor can be taken
from the boiling sulphur, and in a
closed container it will turn into a
yellow powder known as flowers of
sulphur"

A lovely young lady who worked
in very fashionable jewelry store
was invited to a very fashionable
ball one time and, naturally, she
wanted to make an impression on
the people she met there. AS a
result her vanity led her to a risky
undertaking. She had access to the
jewelry store because she was ac-
customed to opening the store in
the morning and so was intrusted
with the key. The evening of the
bail she went to the store and quietly
entered. She had in mind the new

day output comes from Texas and
Louisiana.
The sulphur beds Of Texas and
Louisiana were found deep in the
ground, and it was not so easy to
take out the sulphur as in Sicily
A good way to obtain it was worked
out, however, by a clever man named
Hermann Frasch.
After hole was drilled through
deep layer of quicksand, Frasch
set a sulphur pump" to work. His
idea was to melt the sulphur and
then bring 1t to the surface,

bracelets that had just arrived at
the store and were the latest thing
in jewelry. She knew where they
were stored in large quantities, but
she also knew that there we're two
kinds of bracelets, and since she
didn't dare have a light of any kind
she pondered how to be sure to get
a pair of the same kind by cropping
in the dark. She was afraid to take
very many of the bracelets for fear
that If her act were discovered she
would be too deeply involved. How
could she get her bracelets in the
safest way according to these
thoughts?

sulphur From the Earth

The pump had several pipes lead
ing down to the sulphur bed. One
pipe took down "superheated water" "
which was far hotter than boiling
water. Through another pipe COM
pressed air was shot into the melted
sulphur. The result was that foam
of melted sulphur" rose through a
third pipe.
When the sulphur foam rose to
the surface it was made to run into
large tanks. Then it was treated
until it turned into yellow powder,
or into the sulphur rolls which are
sold widely.
Sulphur is important in many
fields. It is one of the things which
makes fireworks work; it is mixed
with saltpeter and charcoal when
gunpowder is prepared. Automobile
tires and other rubber goods would
not have much lasting value if sui
phur were not mixed with the
rubber.
