TINUED.

With Bx on Platinum Wire.

OF1: Dissolves readily, and in large quantity, to a limpid glass, which appears yellowish while hot; on cooling it is colorless. When much of the oxide is present, the glass may be made enamel-white by flaming; and on a still larger addition it becomes enamel-white on cooling.

RFI: The saturated glass becomes at first gray and cloudy, and finally transparent again. On Ch the oxide becomes reduced, the metal vaporizes and coats the Ch with oxide.

With SPh on Platinum Wire.
