P., No. 500, Feb. 6, 1878.)-Tlie pyrites are broiight to R red heat rind then decomposed by the action of superheated steam. Sulphur and hydrogen sulphide are formed. In the caw of copper pyrites the residue consists of CuS and Fez OS. drsen tersulphide is removed from the distilled sulphur by means of soda or sodium sulphide. A .
