Geological Chemistry?Elements of the Globe, and their Combinations?Classification of Minerals. We learn from the science of chemistry that there are about sixty-four elements entering into the compositon of our globe; and that sixteen of the sixty-four, by a great variety of combinations, enter largely into the structure of our planet. We will enumerate these sixteen, and then say something of their combining properties, and the laws which regulate them. They are Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Fluorine, Chlorine, Carbon, Sulphur, Phosphorus, Silicon, Aluminum, Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, and Manganese. 1. Oxygen, from its great abundance and wide diffusion, is entitled to the name of Autocrat of the Elements. It constitutes from 30 to 50 per cent. of the crust of the earth, and forms one-fifth of the atmosphere and eight-ninths of water. It is without color, taste, or odor. Except when influenced by chemical action, it remains unmoved in the mineral kingdom; but by vital action, it is freely eliminated by the vegetable, and gives support to the animal kingdom. 2. Hydrogen, a favorite companion of oxygen, is a light, volatile gas, having little weight, but a mighty influence. Without it we should have no water to gladden the earth and give nourishment to man and beast, no water for arts and manufactures, no water to move the wheels of commerce, and bring the ends of the earth in close communion. 3. Nitrogen forms 80 per cent. of the atmosphere, Wid is also found in combination with various animal and vegetable substances. When set free by chemical decomposition, it is a life-killing thing; but combined with oxygen, it is the vehicle of life, and health, and beauty. 4. Fluorine occurs in fluor-spar and other minerals. 5. Chlorine ...
