THE PILLAR OF FIRE.
Pound together a grain and a half of chlorate of potash and two grains of sulphur, a pinch of which mixture dropped into a phial holding a little sulphuric acid will give rise to a splendid column of flame.
3rd. Powdered antimony dropped into a phial of chlorine gas will take fire spontaneously and make a splendid light.
4th. With a glass rod put a couple of leaves of Dutch metal (copper imitating gold leaf) into a phial of chlorine gas, when they will flare up with a red light.
Gold leaf will make a red light. Two or three grains of phosphorus thus served will also take fire. A strip of cloth or soft paper, soaked in oil of turpentine, will be similarly ignited.
