UN ClIKMICAL ACIDS. Maafelar or Snlphnrto, Ifltrlo, aatl MarlAlle Adda. Th extent of the chemical knowledge ac quired at school by most ot us was so Binrht that with regard to aoula memory can jrencrali? lell yery little indeed, and nine out of ten of us return from the loggy attempt to rerall lor present use something: of the bard-studied chern bilry of the olden days of school, and birch and terule, with only the vague impression that an "acid" te something, sour. Those of u, perhaps, whose literary taotos have led as to the perusal f the "Mysteries ot Paris," may recollect the fate of that amiable assuMsin who washed his lace in sulphuric acid in order to place hirmelf beyond reconitljn by the police, and may have tolvrably distinct idea that oil of vitriol (sul phuric acid) is not a great a beautiHer for the complexion as lily-white ivlght-blooraiug enian-fe-eozodont, but beyond this our acidulous cheroicsl knowledge is among the thmtrii that -were. The object of this article is to show that there is more arid manutttctnred than i abso lutely required by thofe gentlemen who desire to burn off their noses and eyelids that they rnav not be reroenized by Detective 12,972 b; and also to tell where and how the said acid is made, and for what other purposes it is used. The three chemical compounds known ns "acids," which are most extensively employed in the arts and niRtvilHctures, are sulphuric acid or oil ot vitriol, nitric acid or aquafortis, and muriatic acid. Tboueh Philadelphia is probably the headquarters ot the chemical nianiiiacturinir business, there are, nevertheless, two large establishments for that purpose in the immediiu vicinity of New York. From the obliinn? super intendent of one of Uiede we uave uutuucu tne lacts herein alter embodied. For tne manufacture ot the acids known in commerce very extensive and costly worts are required, and the persons employed in the manipulation of the various inerediunta must be men of superior Intelligence and some education, as well as of a first-rate decree ot niechauii-al .kill. The slightest carelessness, from either inattention or pure ignorance, might reetilt in the most serious consequences to the workmen, to the neighbors, and to the stock and machinery employed. This will become apparent when a fiance la taken at the nature of the materials employed. (Sulphuric acid, or oil of vitriol, is made from nlphur nnd nitrate of soda. The former arti cle ui one product of volcanic action, and is always abundantly lound in ail countries sub ject to earthquake or other volcanic phenomena, "it is; also found in great quantities in lands where such disturbing agencies completed their alloted work ages ago. It is a substance too well known to require special description. .Nitatc ol i-oda comes irom South America; that is, the bsct quality of it dos. There is, how ever, another saltjso neurly resembling it that the one, may be substituted lor the other iu manufactures, and frequently is so substituted; and that salt is nitrate ol potash. This is better known to most of us as ordinary saltpetre. The great supply ot this ii- drawn from the East Indies, but of late it has been too expensive to be u.ted in the mak'nu of acid, where nitrate of oda could be procured. The var, which atl'eeted every sort of trade and business indirectly, laid its remorseless hand immediately upon' this manufacture; the reason was that the needs of the nations who were desirous of cutting each other's throats and bio a ids each other's heads od' had to be supplied, even if the more quiet pursuits of peacelul men bad to sttiTer thereby, Gunpowder annnt be iua:lc witbouc a certain proportion of "villauous saltpetre,"' and to supply tuequantity .required by the powdr-mills all other trade? re quiring for their prosecution a modicum of this same substance had to Miller, that the killing of men might go on unchecked. It can be easily seen that, requiring as it does the use of large quantities of tne two active in gredients ot gunpowder, the manufacture of chemical acids must needs be attended with danger and conducted with preitt care. Gun powder, as is well known, is composed ot salt petre, sulphur, and charcoal. As the latter substance is entirely inert, it follows that the other two are the active agents in making powder the tremendous agent it has ever Lecn. Ana yet to carefully nre these combustibles used in the chemical works, that we have yet to bear ol the first accident involving loss ot lite that has occurred in the Unitt-d Si ate. In making sulphuric acid, tiie principal appa ratus consists ot certain furnaces, steam-boilers, receiving vats, eonden-eiv, aud receivers. There is fir-t a loner row of melting retorts, under which fierce hies nre burning. These retorts are not unlike the ordinary fetcam-boiler in shape beinar loug, iron cylinders of perhaps a foot and a halt or two lei t in diameter, by fif teen feet in length. Into thee cylinders or retorts the .uilplmr is placed, and a strontr fire built in the furnaces iuimeniately underneath. When the sulphur has begun to burn, and also to melt, which it does simultaneously, a num ber of laree iron pots, tilled wi'.h tne nitrate of aoda, are introduced into the cylindrical retnrts and deposited immediately upon the top and in the midst ot the burning mus- of sulphur. The fires are kept up to their maximum tempe rature, and shortly the soda also bi'giusto melt, and the lmues ol the two fusing substauees unite into a third vapor, distinct from either of the originals, and in this form the dense, heavy gas is led up from the back of the retorts throueh wide-mouthed pipes into the condens irg tauks on the story above. Ot these con densing tanks there are, at the chemical works "we saw, two one, known as the little "tauk," is of the diminutive st.e ol twenty-live leet iouar, twenty-five test high, and twenty-tive leet wide, thus eiting a perfect cube-smipcd room, capable of containing 15,025 cubic leet of ens. Into this miniature receptacle the vapor from the retorts is nrst passed; thence t goes by large pipes into the "large tank," which i truly of most formid able (Jiiiienidons. It is one hundred and fifty .leet long, thirty-five feet high, aud thirty-live wide, thus containing 18S,7.'0 cubic feel. In this huge tank the gas is mixed with heated steam, lorced in through pipes, which are let iu through the side ot the room. In a few minutes alter the admission of the steam the gases begin to condense and to drop from the root aud sides, and to tall in a continuous shower upon the floor. Here it loi ms a pool about a foot and a half deep, and one hundred and flity long, atlordmtr the most favorable opportunity that could possibly be desired by any enterprising gentleman desiring to take a bam in the real genuine oil of vitriol. From this floor the acid is drawn off by syphons and put into class vessels known as "carboys," which contain teu to twelve gallons liy measure, or about ane hundred und twenty- five to one hundred and thirty-five pounds of acid by weight. Any cas which remains uncondensed in the laree tank is pased into a tall condenser shaped like a huge chimney, ami which is titled wr.h coke. From this condenser it passes also throueh another rilled in like manner, which two are expected to reduce the whole of the pas to liquid form. These uiuks and condensers are all lined with sheet-lead, weigtiing six pounds to the smiare loot. Lead is the only substance that will perfectly withstand the action ot pure sul phuric acid. Even the edges ot the va:-ious nieces ot this leaden lining cannot be fastene 1 with ordinary solder, but must be loincd wl'h pure lead. For the same reason there can be 'Ho inside supports of metal or wood, as either would be quickly destroyed by the eatuiff action of the acid. Therefore the entiro root of th Inure tank is built on the "suspension-bridge" plan, and there are mo support or braces what ever inside. Muriatic acid is manufactured from com mou salt and sulphuric acid, xiie process of manu facture is fcimilar to the one already described. The salt is put into cylindrical retorts, which are sealed, alt Din a small circular hol, throueh which is afterwards introduced the oil of vitriol, uttr which the aperture is sealed. Fires are then kindled, and the gns driven olf througb a pipe in the back ot the retort. This sag is conducted through a long series of trlass receivers to the top of the buiidiug, thence 4own throueh another Hue of similar condensing vessels, and into the stone-ware receivers, from which the acid Is drawn oft' into the carboys for delivery. .Nitric acid it made from nitrate of soda aud THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH.

' The refuse salt which is left from both these processes is sulphate of soda, or the common Glauber's salts, and are sold to make soda ash, which is used to a great extent in the raanuUc ture of glass. ' Sulphuric acid is largely employed in reflnlng petroleum; In fact, were It not for the cheap ness ot sulphuiic acid, many of the petroleum wells would be worthless, owing to the cost of refining their product, which could not be done so as to pay by a costly process on a small scale. Nitric acid Is largely employed oy dyer, and also In the making of percussion-caps, and lor many other uses. ... . Muriatic acid is used In large quantities for the purpose of rendering railroad ti-s and sleepers and railroad bridge timber Impervious to moisture. By a peculiar process, and the addtilon 'of other materials, muriatic acid is transformed into chloride of z;ne, aud is, bv tremendous pressure, forced Into the pores of timber, the moisture having been previously extracted therefrom. This process so preserves the timber that no amount of exposure to moisture will affect it, nor will Insects attack it. At the chemical factories where the above described acids are manufactured, a number of other important articles are made. Among these are aqualortis, which is simply unpurlnei nitric acid, muriate of tin, oxv-muriate of tin, nitrate ol iron, nitro-murltte of tin, tin crystals, acetate of tin, sulphate of soda, salts ot tartar, aqua ammonia, concentrated aqua ammonia, snpho-muriate of tin, what is known ns "plum spirits," and vatious other compounds. The greater part ol these last-named articles nr3 used almost exclusively by dyers, and with the acidd are employed for coloring, bleach- lug, elc. When first put into the market from the fac tory, sulphuric acid is wot th from four to five cents per pounn; nunc aciu, niieen 10 twenty cents per pound; muriatic acid, tour to rive cents per pound. The enr'novs. or class demiiohn shaped vessels in which the acidj are sent to market arc always careinlly boxed up, to avoid, as far as may be, the daneer ot breakage, inasmuch as the con scdiietices of brcakinc a ton-gallon iug of oil of vottol on a steamboat deck might not be pleasant. A few years since, a ecntleman who spent an cveine witn old King Whiskey and a few friends, went homo to the chemical: factory where he was employed, to sleep. Feeling thirsty ho food a drink ironi a stone pitcher, tilled with what he supposed to be w ater; it proved, however, to be sulphuric acid. Of course death at ouce en sued. Rufus King Browne, M, 1). Noroniors fbeebooiers. Scandinavian RoUfoern Eugllh Pirates. An article on "Brigandage" in the last number of the Weidminbter Review, founded on the recent narratives of Mr. Moons' experiences in Italy, gives a Beries of curious sKetchcs of notorious freebooters of mediaeval aud modern times. Twq Of these stories are as fgllows: THE THIRTY ROVEKS OF JOMSEUEGH. "It is impossible to read some of the stories of theoldSea Kings ot Scandanavia without feel ing admiration torthe splendid daring and stoical disregard ot fife exhibited by those nobleft und most romantic of robbers. Take the famous Norse Wend of the thirty rovers of Jomsburgh, for instnnce, who were captured byJarl llukou, king ot Notway, ubotit the year 1)24. The kine had determined to cut off the hea ls of all his cap tives, aud appoiuted Thorkell Loire, one of the most famous ot tne Norwegian chief tains, to act as executioner. The Jomsburgh men were tinde to sit down before the king on a log of wood, with their ices bound together by a rope. Osier twurs were twitted in tneir hair, and a slave stood be hind each to keep his h'ud steady. Soon rhree beads rolled to the ground betor' the nullity sweep of Ttiorkell's axe. Then turning to the rest ot the cutuves with u mocking smile, the Norwegian clncf asked them what they thought ot aeatn. l only beg ot tnee,' sum one, 'to be quick over thy work. Thou knowest it is a ques tion ott di-ciiGsed at Joinsoiiran, whether or not a man feels anything alter losing his head. If, iifier my head is cut oil, I throw tins knife at ihce, that will show that I retain some feeling; if 1 let it tall, it v ill prove the contrary. Now strike.' Thorkell did as he was told;- but no sooner wns the man's head struck oil' than the knife fell to the ground from his powerless grasp, 'strike the blow in my face,' suid the next; '1 wilt sit still without tlinehimr. Watch my eye, to see it 1 wink: tor the rovers ot .loins- burLrh know how to meet tne stroke ol death without betraying any emotion.' He kept his promise, and received the blow without winking his eves. I hen Sigurd, the sen of Bui the Thick, a tine young man in the Cower ot his age, with long iair hair as fine as silk tlowitig in rinali-ts over bis shoulder, t'icii addressed Thorkell: 'I tear not death, but I must pray thee not to let my liair be touched by a slave, or stained with ni,y blood.' Upon tins one ot Jlakou's followers stepped forward und held Sigurd's head instead ot the slave; put as xiiorkeirs btutleaxe was whizzing through the air. bicurd twitched his head forward so strongly that the axo passed mm untouched, ana cut on both the hands ot the wnrrier who held bim. The tierce 11 ikon was hueelv delighted at this practical ioke. and Lis son, Kirek. immediately loosed Sigurd from the rope. Thoikell. however, being de ttnnined not to be baulked of hU prey, now ruthed with uplifted axe upou Vagn Akason, another of the captives; but the craity sea- rover threw himself on the ground, so that Thorkell fell over him and cut the rope with his axe. Heine thus freed from the bonds which held him, Vasn sprang up, and cut down Thorkell with his own weapon. Kirek then asked Vagn whether he would accept life from his hands. 'Willinely,' was the reply, 'pro vided thou wilt give it to all of us.' Upon this the rope was loosened, and the twelve rovers who had escaped ueatu returned to their native rocks. This vagn was the most unruly and tierce of the Jomeburgb. men. He sought ad mittance to the piratical community when he was only twelve years old, aud when their chief, the celebrated Palnatoki, relused his application on the ground ot his youth. Vagn coolly replied that he was as strong as a youth oi eiuuteen, and ottered to DL'Dt Ttie most, lamous ot the rovers, Jarl Bigvald. in proof of his asser tion. The challcugo was accepted, aud Vagn pressed his antagonist so closely with his battle axe that the chief was obliged to interfere to prevent Higvald Irom being killed by the formi dable boy." TWO ENGLISHMEN LOW AND TEACH. "Low was a Londoner, and hi.? taste for nmiev was exhibited at a very early age. It is said that when a boy ho Used to levy contribut ons among his companions, and that if any of them refused, a tight was the result. His first exploit was to shoot at his captain because the latior ordered him on an expedition just as Low was about to have his dinner, lie then set upas a pirate, and was remarkably successful in his captures, chiefly on account ot the terror he iii.'pired. Once he captured a French ship, and being in want of provii-iou-, he offered to the coverror of a French port to give her up pro vided he would send him a supply. Th" provi sions wero sent, and Low liberated the crew, but declined to give up the vessel, on the ground thst there was a very stout co,k on board, who, being a greasy fellow, ought to Iry well. He theu had the unfortunate mau bound to the must, and set the ship ou hie. Still more atrocious was his conduct towards the captain ami crow of a Portuguese ship which he had captuied. Having heard that there was a lare sum of money on board lie searched all over the vessel, but without suc cess, upou which bu ordeied the crew to be put to tiie torture in order to make theai say where the treasure was concealed. It then came out that the captaiu bad. during the chase, hung the bag containing the money out ol his cabin window, aid that when the pirate came on board he had cut the rope, and the baor had fallen into the sea. This put Low into buch a frenzy that he immediately ordered the captain's lips to be cut off and broiled bufore his eves, alter which both he and the crow were murdered. The cruelty of thin singular ruilian did iiol, how ever, always require so much provocation. He would murder a man out f oimple exuberance of splrrtsj arid when he was in the best of humors. One thlmr only Is accorded to his eredit; he never ill-treated his own countrymen. Tbc only instance in which he fled from the pursuit of a man-of-war was hen it was manned by English sailor; and once when he capture 1 abrlcantlne, of which the crew was one-half English and one-halt Fortugueoe, he banged the latter, and allowed the ttngllsk to go - where thev pleased. "Teach, better known In the West Indies a Black Beard, was a grotesque vulalc, who de lighted In a sort of picturesque rutllanlsm that made him the admiration as well as the terror of the country in which he committed his depre dations. The soubriquet bv whioh he was known was deiived from a black beard ot extraordinary length, which covered nearly the whole of his lace, and which he used to twist into number less small tails. While in action he had three braco ot pistols slung across his shoulder, and lighted matches stuck under his hat, which Illumined his dusky face and lierce eyes with an unearthly glare, and, together with his bristling beard and wild gestures, made up a picture that few could look upon without fear. From time to time be would land tor the purposo ot hold ing a 'council.' On these occasions, seated tinder a wild tig-trce, with his band surrounding bim, he would consult them about his pluns, j tinish those wbo had broken the rules of the band, and reward the bravest and most enter prising, lie had a harem of fourteen wives, whom he treated with such brutality that even his crew were horror-struck at his conduct. None ot them, however, dared to whisper a word of iemontrance, for they knew his des potic tempt r, and belived hitii to bo armed with supernatural power, which enabled him to do anything he wished. "Those of his companions who were taken alive in his last battle Used to relate how once, upon a cruise, they found they had a stranger on board; how this stranger was seen forseveral days among them, sonietimes below, sometimes on deck, although none of the crew could say who he was, or whence he came; and how at last he disappeared in the same mysterious manner as he had come, and all of them reli giously believed he was the devil. The belief that Black Beard was in communication with the Spirit of Evil was still further strengthened by another incident which well paints the grotesque extravagance ol the man. Being one day at sew, and a little Hushed with drink, 'Come,' said he, 'let us make a hell of our own, and try how long we can bear it.' He then went down with some ot his men into the hold, and, after shutting down the hatches, tilled several tubs w ith sulphur and other combustible materials, which be set on tire, thus literally involving himself and his men In tire ard britn stone; alter which he danced about the hold with oaths and Irantic gestures, apparently not in the least affected by tlio choking vap ir which tiHed the a;r, until his companions, fainting and nearly suffocated, compelled him to release ihem. His. convivial humor w as of a similar kind, In one of his drunken tits, while sealed in. his cubin at d'nner, he blew out the caiuilos, Cocked his pMols, and, crossing his hands, Hred ou each side at his companions, one ot w horn received a shot which maimed him lor lile. This story he used to tell himself with areat e lee, adding that, 'if he did not now and then kill one ot his men, they would forget who he was.' " Among continental brigands the writer gives the pulm for chivalry to the Kleot, who ruled the Thessalian mountains at the time of the Turkih rule in Greece. The Spanish bandits are said to have robbed their victims with a eer- laiu amount of courtesy, whilst Italians are put lowest in the scale, both as regards generosity and courage. EXCURSIONS.
