[Footnote 18: Page 186. _Lead pyrophorus_ is made by heating dry tartrate
of lead in a glass tube (closed at one end, and drawn out to a fine point
at the other) until no more vapours are evolved. The open end of the tube
is then to be sealed before the blowpipe. When the tube is broken and the
contents shaken out into the air, they burn with a red flash.]
[Footnote 19: Page 216. _Water-gas_ is formed by passing vapour of water
over red-hot charcoal or coke. It is a mixture of hydrogen and carbonic
oxide; each of which is an inflammable gas.]
Poster's note: "combustion that makes!" was corrected from a misprint
"combusion that makes!" in the original.
