Copper bars, seven-eighths of an inch thick, and six inches long, so soft that they can be bent double like a stick of molasses candy, but so strong that they can hardly be straightened with the strength of one's hands, were exhibited. Each is a single crystal of copper, produced by an improved process.-Dr. Wheeler P. Davey, General Electric...

In chemical work it might find some use as a material for containers of various...

Savory food it was, nourishing, succulent; but on the little cards beside each place it was called by strange names-Borax, Benzoate, Coal Tar, Copper Sulfate, Saltpeter, Saccharin.
