Abstract
If one is so minded, he should take a glass sphere, a so-called phial, the size of a baby’s head and pour in sulphur that has been powdered in a mortar. Then, by heating it, he should cause the powder to melt. After cooling it he should break the glass sphere, extract the ball which remains and store it away in a dry place of low humidity.
