ANALYSES OF JAPANESE MIRRORS.

Mm. Champion and Pellet (Industries de l’empire Chinois, p. 64) give the following composition for Chinese mirrors:

Copper 50·8 Tin 16·5 Zinc 30·5 Lead 2·2 ------ 100·0 ------

Dr. Geerts gives (Trans. Asiatic Soc. of Japan, vol. iv., p. 40), for the alloy used in one of the largest mirror-foundries in Kioto:

Copper 80 Tin 15 Lead 5 ---- 100 ----

And for mirrors of inferior quality:

Copper 80 Lead 10 Shirome 10 ---- 100 ----

Shirome is a natural sulphide of lead and antimony from Choshiu or Iyo.

Professors Ayrton and Perry (Proc. Roy. Soc., 1878) give:

For mirrors of first quality:

Copper 75·2 Tin 22·6 Iyo Shirome 2·2 ------ 100·0 ------

For mirrors of second quality:

Copper 81·3 Tin 16·3 Iyo Shirome 2·4 ------ 100·0 ------

For mirrors of third quality:

Copper 87·0 Tin 8·7 Iyo Shirome 4·3 ------ 100·0 ------

For mirrors of fourth quality:

Copper 81·3 Tori Shirome 16·3 Iyo Shirome 2·4 ------ 100·0 ------

For mirrors of fifth quality:

Copper 71·5 Tori Shirome 28·5 ------ 100·0 ------

The mercurial amalgam used in polishing the mirrors consists, according to Dr. Geerts (op. cit.), of quicksilver, tin, and a little lead. Ayrton gives it as one of tin to one of quicksilver. Champion and Pellet (op. cit.) give the composition as:

Tin 69·36 Mercury 30·0 Lead 0·64 ------ 100·00 ------

On the occasion of the delivery of this discourse the Author exhibited a collection of thirty-four Japanese mirrors, and by the aid of a lime-light lantern displayed their magic properties upon a translucent screen. He also exhibited sundry experiments with Laurent’s apparatus, and showed the effect of heating mirrors.
