Analysis.— Chloride of barium crystal-lizes in thin quadrangular plates (Fig. 13); it is soluble in water. solution yields a white precipitate with sulphuric acid or an alka-line sulphate. This precipitate is insoluble in nitric acid. 2. The pow-dered salt, burnt on platinum wire in a smokeless flame, imparts to ita greenish-yellow color. 3. Chlorine may be detected by a solution ofnitrate of silver. Carbonate of baryta is a white insoluble powder. It is entirely dis-solved with effervescence (carbonic acid) by diluted hydrochloric evaporation, it yields crystalline plates of the chloride of barium,which may be tested by the processes above Crystals of chloride of barium, mag-nified 30 diameters. 272 POISONING WITH PHOSPHORUS. NON-METALLIC IRRITANTS. CHAPTER XXXI. Phosphorus — Symptoms and Appearances — Chronic Poisoning by theVapor—Fatal Dose—Period of Death—Chemical Analysis—Phos-phorus-Paste and Matches—Red or Amorphous Phosphorus—Iodine, PHOSPHORUS. Cases of poisoning by phosphorus appear to be much more numerousin France than in England. M. Chevallier has collected seventy-fourcases of poisoning by this substance, and in forty-two of these thephosphorus was procured from lucifer matches. Among the cases,twenty-five were the result of accident, twenty-eight involved a crim-inal charge, and twenty-one were the result of suicide. (Annates d?Hy-giene, 1857, vol. 2, p. 226.) The cases of poisoning by phosphorus inthis country are not very numerous, and they are chiefly referable toaccident or suicide. Within a period of five years there were f
