BRILLIANT COMBUSTION IN OXYGEN.
Place in a bottle of oxygen gas a lighted taper, and it will burn with a flame of increased brilliancy.
Extinguish the taper immediately; put it into the same or another bottle of oxygen, and it will be again lighted provided a spark remain on the wick.
Bend a piece of iron wire in a spiral form, and tie on to one end some cotton or flax; sprinkle some flour of sulphur on it, set it on fire, dip it into a bottle of oxygen gas, and beautiful corruscations will be thrown off the wire.
