Freezes i lgnid Sulphur, But That'e
All That Happens,
Chicago, Dec. 9. -or. Alexander
Smith, professor of general chemis-
try at the University of Chicago,
who has been devoting himself to
experimenting with sulphur for sev-
eral months, bas succeeded in estab-
lishing the fact, heretofore unknown
to chemlets, that liquid sulphur can
be frozen at a certain temperature.
Although the discovery has no
commercial value, It is considered a
chemical triumph, In other experi-
moite !n the way of analyzing sul-
phur, Dr. Smith has determined cer-
tain laws watch may havo much
influence upon He future practical
uses. He has separated the amor-
phone, or solid, from the soluble, or
liquid sulphur, and learned many
facts of their natures under varied
coeditlons.
