  (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.
