By inspecting the table of calcium
" sulphide, U'Vv'ill bo eet'n that column
three, giving (he chemical formula,
indicates,. the relative amounts of
sulphur combining with calcium in
the various sulphides. The general
name .polysulnlndo of calcium is tisii
ally appjied to all the sulphides above
the first, namoly, tho calcium mono
sulphide. While most of these com
pounds can be made, at least in the
laboratory, not all aro of practicul
interest bo far as the preparation
of lime-sulphur is concerned. For our
purpose it ia to be understood thut
when lime and sulphur are boiled to
gether in water, some of the com
pounds arc formed, the kinds as well
as amounts of the compounds
formed, depending chiefly upon tho
amount of lime and sulphur, the state
of division, time ol boiling the mix
ture, temperature of boiling, etc. The
compounds which are present in tho
largest amounts in ircsiuy piupuiuu
lime-sulphur wash are tctra-sulphido
(CaS'l) and pcntn-Milphido (CuSft).
' These two sulphides aro ciiito solu-
' blo'm water and, dissolved, produce
an" Wjigc-rcd liquid with which vc
"anl'licijuainted. It is considered that
.''"'(li?3c' two higher sulphides aro tho
-. moat efficient in killing scale ano
, that more than likely tho highest sul-
fl nhido (CaSC) is much more effec
tive than the lower one (CnS-1). Tin.
j simplest compound of calcium and
. sulphur, as will bo seen Iroin Hie ta
- ble, is the Hioiio-Hulpliiclc (CaB). It
is a grayish-White solid and is nv,i
readily soluble in water. H is qtiiU
likely that in the making of a lime
sulphur wash, it does out appear a
f all, because, in boiling water it breaks
,. down or (Iccompohcs and would b
changed very quickly into some otho
compound. It has been found Ilia
tho higher Mtulphidcs of calcium, es
pecially the pcnta-Milphido (CuSfi
am leadily formed when lime (Cai
ilium oxide, CnO) and water ai'c
boiled with an excess of sulphur. 1J.
an excess of bitlpliuiyl is to bo ml
derstood that more Hulpliur thai
would be enough to combine with tli-
lime would bo used. If wo had i
chemically pure lime (Calcium oxido
and a chemically pure sulphur,
pounds of tho Huio and 100 pound
of sulphur would bo tho proper com
bination to use in order to form th
1 ai-gust amount of the highest sul
phides tf" calcium. Of course, w
cannot expect absolute purity in th
lime and, therefore, do not adhero t
!,. these amounts. When calcium pentn
l". sulphide (OaSrO and calcium lelra
., sulphido (CuS-l) are formed in iimu
,v ing lime-Bulphiir, at the winio tim
another suulphur compound appeal
,.i in tho wash. This compound iH calle
caloitim thio-sulphatc (CuS'JOIl). Ca
i eiiini thio-huulphatc upon boiliii;
r" changes into another compound u
; bulphur and lime, forming what .
, tunned calcium sulphite (CnSO:)) nu
froo sulphur, (S). This sulphi
which has been set froo by the n
' notion is in condition to comma

The sulphur which has been bet
free in the hibt reaction would com
bine with more lime on further boil
ing and form polysulpbidc (CaS.))
and thio-sulphuto (CuS20:U How
ever, it the boiling be continued, it
will bo seen that more thio-sulphato
would be formed at the cxpenso of
the penta-siilphide. This is very
significant mid would mean that a
mixture of lime and sulphur may be
boiled too long, thus defeating the
very end which it was attempted to
attain.
It is well known that thio-stiul-phntcs
iu solution change slowly to
sulphites, which, in turn, change to
sulphates according to the following
reactions;
(-1) CnS'JOU equals CaSO.'t plus P,
(.) CaSO.'l plus 0 equals CaSO j.
That iu to say, the thio-sulphato
in changing to sulphite gives up one
atom of oxygtMi. To one interested
('hanging to sulphate takes up olio
atom of oxygen. To one interested
iu n further study of this interest
ing mattei, J would say that these
five reactions may bo found iu any
good text book on chemistry.
In tho reactions which have been
given it has been pre-supposod thi'.t
the lime uinl sulphur arc pure. In
practice this is not always tho case,
since coinmcreinl lime frequently con
uiins considerable amounts of mag
nesium oxide. Jt is quite well known
'hat magnesium does not readily form
.'(impounds with sulphur like those
lormed by calcium and cannot take
he place of calcium. .Magnesium o.
do when boiled with water and mi!-
phitr acts iu an undesirable way,
since it cniiros a waste of sulphur
luring the boiling of the mixture.
I'liH is due to the fact that when
magnesium hydrate is boiled with
.liter and sulphur it fornix what i-t
uowli Is magnesium sulphydrate
(ilgS'JII2). This compound decom
poses very readily and produces the
ivell-known, ill-Hinolling gas, hydro
;enr sulphide (II2S). It is nl.-o
'jiiowii by the name, of hydro-sul-nhuric
acid, or sulphuretted hydro
ren, which is quite familiar on a
'oimt of its charaofcriKtie odor, hi
he preparation of lime-sulphur with
ommercial lime, containing cousid
rabh amounts of mugnctnwm oxido
MgO), it has been shown that hydro
U'n sulphide is given off and those

pade ill by inhaling tho gas. Since
he gas contains Milphur, till of tho

volild' indicate that lime of a good
