(4) in forceps. —
(5) in borax. —
(6) in mic. salt. —
(7) with carb. soda. As stephanite,
except that much arsenic is
given
off and but little antimony.

Mineral. Horn silver
Formula. AgCl.
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. Fuses, but undergoes no further change.
(2) in open tube. —
(3) on charcoal. Fuses readily
in the oxidizing flame. In the
reducing
flame is slowly reduced yielding
metallic
silver.
(4) in forceps. —
(5) in borax. —
(6) in mic. salt. —
(7) with carb. soda. Is rapidly reduced to metallic silver.
(8) Special reactions. If cut up
into small pieces mixed with oxide
of
copper and then heated before the
oxidizing
flame upon charcoal, it colors the
flame
blue.

Transcriber’s Notes:
Text italicized in the original book is surrounded by ‘’.
This book had many columnar tables,
often split across pages. These
have been transformed in data sheets
for readability.
The notation ^{#} is used for superscripted
numbers, indicating
the composition of the various chemical compounds.
Some of the element symbols were
differenced by markings that
were not defined in the book, but are supposed
to be valence
markings. These have been transcribed as follows:
‘.’ or ‘,’
above element symbol [?.Symbol] or [?,Symbol]
‘-’ above element symbol
[=Symbol]
‘-’ through element symbol
[Symbol=]
...
So [...Al] where the original text had Al
_
[=M] where the original text had M
,,,
[,,,Sb] where the original text had Sb
...
[...Fe=] where the original text had Fe, line
through the Fe.
