 pOne of the most decompo- 

 sable, and therefore most 

 varialle in nature ; by 

 losing some oxygen it 

 passes, 1st. to the state of • 

 nitrous gas or azotic oxyd, 

 insoluble in water, and 

 reddening by the contact of 

 air; '2d. to the state of 

 azotic oxydiile gas, soluble 

 in water, not reddening ii>

 some metals, destroys ani-
