70' SOLUTION OF SULPHUR IN ALCOHOL, 



ether ; and, in a word, it had ali the qualities of fulphuratect 

 lulphuric ether, but in a lower degree. It likewife con- 

 tained a lefs quantity of fulphur ; the refult of the experi- 

 ment made in the light being but 22 grains of pfecipitated 

 fulphur ; and 20 for that conducted in darknefs. 



fifth andfixlh Experiments. 

 Muriatic ether With muriatic ether, weiging 0.7 196, proceeding as aU 

 thhty'-feventh ^^^^J defcribed, and at the fame proportions, I obtained a 

 in the light; and fulphurated muriatic ether, pofTeffing all the peculiarities 

 thirVin^thV^' ^^<^^'^ mentioned, but weaker. It contained only 13 grains 

 dark. of fulphur, when conduced in the light, and 9| grains wher 



managed in the dark. 



Seventh and eighth/ Experin^ciUs. 



-Acetic fther Acetic ethcf weighing 0.8664, diflblved but a very fmat-' 



little "ulpliur. Portion of fulphur, and its qualities weie but (lightly marked, 



It contained but three grains of fulphur in an ounce of ether^ 



in the experiment made in the light, and about Ingrains in 



that made in the dark.

Ninth Experhnent. 

 Having made the foregoing experiments, I widied tQ 

 Was Id's char-^-d ^.fcertain the difference exlfting between the feveral ethers 

 than that of ful- and alcohol, in refpedto their capacity for diflblving fulphur: 

 p unc et er. j tj^gj.^fQj.g retraced the experiments I had fornierly made 

 •wilh alcohol. To avoid the repetition of what has been al- 

 xeatly communicated in my firft effay, I (liall here merely 

 /late the quantity pf fulphur I have been able to diflblve, ei- 

 ther by fubmitting the mixture to a heat lefs than fufficient tq 

 caufe the alcohol to bojl, or by expofing it to the light, or by 

 placing it in a dark place. For thpfe experiments I ufed al? 

 Coliol of 43 degrees. 



-After digelling for 12 hours over a gentle fire an ounce of 

 alcohol with two drachms of the flowers of fulphur, I ob- 

 tained 23 grains of precipitate,
