    brittle, and never crystallized. It absorbs light strongly, is re- fractory in the fire, insoluble in water, and a bad conductor of ca- loric, but an excellent one of electricity. At a red heat, it burns rapidly in o ygen gas; 28 of charcoal, and 72 of oxygen, forming 100 of carbonic acid gas. It also burns in atmospheric air, but less vividly. Officinal.
