When iodine is brought in contact with dry ammoniacal gas, it forms a thick black fluid, which, when saturated with ammonia, becomes more liquid. This compound is decomposed by water forming the iodide of nitrogen. See page 243. With various metallic oxides, ammonia forms explosive compounds; especially those known as fulminating gold, and the most dangerous species of fulminating silver. By these appellations, however, other compounds of those metals are designated. By some mysterious influence, probably electro-chemical, the affinities between the oxygen and hydrogen are suspended without being destroyed. Yet by slight causes, whether mechanical or chemical, the equilibrium is subverted with explosive violence. 218. Process for obtaining Water of Ammonia. If instead of being conveyed into a bell glass over mercury, the gas be received in water contained in a phial, the water may be saturated, constituting aqua ammoniae, or water of ammonia. The saturation may be effected in an apparatus, similar to that represented in the above cut. The absorption of ammoniacal gas by water, causes so much heat, that, to produce a saturated solution, refrigeration by ice-water is necessaryWater, saturated with ammonia, when gradually cooled to the temperature of--40 F., crystallizes in long needles having a silky gloss. No doubt these crystals owe their existence to the presence of water, which exists in them as water of crystallization. Water of ammonia is lighter than water. In combining with the gas, the water loses weight in proportion to the degree of impregnation. At the maximum, at ordinary temperatures, the alkali constitute...

This is an analogy of the birth of Jesus Christ and His growing up to the potential He was sent for. Therefore, it's a Christmas story not yet told. Here is a rose that grew out of the concrete; through hope and prayer she learned how to walk without having feet. Her gifts taught her how to survive, and it was her hope that kept her alive. Boundless is the rose that grew out the concrete. Funny it seems, but by keeping her dreams, she learned how to breathe fresh air when only a few even cared. Boundless is the rose that grew out of the concrete.
