Within thbe last live vonrs our stock of Mineralogical in forination has beenl vastly increased. Time was when we we were satisfied with our simple metals, gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, and tiif. The nixed mntals, brass, brote, powtor, etc., succeedel, and they have all been useful to mankinid, as have the variiouis modi ficat ions aid nixtures of metals in certain degrees, which have b eeii applied to vCy impo'tant pr-t es. 1minagilling that ill the ie al s winch a kind providence had provided were already within our power-adopt lg. in fact, the comfortablo idea that we know all that was worthy in regard to this natter, wo were not, prepa red for the inl tix of iew% metals which witi inl a few years past, have burst upon uts, and bade us prepare for whateover ad. vantage was to be derived from their use. With aliniimi in, the metal de rived from clay, we have been longest, acquainled. Wo are tolerably familiar with its <pialities, and have seen anticlos made from is which are very light and beautiful. Magniesium is the0 next mineral sub s1alnce which has Con)Inendled its'1!f to our attenion. fts bprilli-int qualities as an1 ilinimiat.or, and the prospect, ht.11:. it, will liecome a coimfort to mankind a: a special imean of' aflbrding a cheap ar ficial light, render it of peculiar interest. Of the other now l'melals enough is not. yet known to jusniry a predict ion that, they will will be of any special use In himan aflei rs. Maliiun, idion, rub:. duini, and.1c exsium are the mott lately dliscovered of tlheso substances. It, is a remarkable oumntaice (4f the curious wavs of icienlce, that to the prismi-fornmerlyv consid-red curious only as demmin'o w'g the linea of solar i-, are we indeuted for the discovery of most of' the new m Atals. A phifosopher well acquainted with the appearances presented by the bilrniing of* various substances when Viewed through the prism, fintds thal. ie&tals upon ling coIIsiumed, mak liies of certain colors. The result is al ways lhe same, and the presence of a known metal becomes as well shown to a prae tical philosopler by the spectrum or prism ra it eild ho to an .:ns-y wh in burning a substance before ulnex perim:iented with, lie detects lines of color different from anything which he hid previously known, ho detects the pre'sence of a new metal, and setI to work to drag it from the si tance in which it is diffusied, and to r-euice it to a permanient form. \ry, intersting experiments have been lately nliille 1is to the iature of indium. It is fou nd to be most generally <ltTised in blende proenred in Glermany. But in fifteen Slecillells ot blendo obt.a i ned in the Ujinited States from loCalities at, great distances apart, no trace of idiuim could bo perceived. The metal is whiie, brighter thain tin. and approaclihing the lustre of silver. It is soft and-' ductIcle and does not tarnish. It melts at the same temperature as lead. It i.s re solved into oxvdes. chlorides, suliides andl other forms. The benehit; of these in the arts is vet t.o be tested. No doubt they will be of Advantage. Rubidium is another niew met al, the uses of which are to be determinel. It also was discovered by the prism. It has been found mno.st lentiifuilly in lepodolite, and is dletected in luany' stony subst antces, anud in crude, saltpotre, tobacco, coffee, ten, the sugar beet, and other articles. What isto beC done with it cannot yet be deteirmined fromi the little wo kinow of it. It is beliuved that the salts may be empl1oyed wi th adlvainago in medicine, but, the partieulat' disease~s for wlnch they will be ulseful as a~ remedy aro yet to b:. determlined. Cosium was discovered in the. resi duumi remaining after the evapora tion of a mineral spring. It resembhles potash very closely-so nmuch so that the ordlinary cheml~ical agents or the blow pipe fail to supply the proper test. The prism or spectroscopo furnishes thec only mleanis of dletectinig this metal. It found miost plentifully in thme miinerai called polhux, found in the isle of' Elba, and resembling fluor ophir.
