For this purpose it is necessary that the metal should be unchangeable under the influence of fire and the atmosphere. These requirements reduce to three, the number of metals that can be employed. They are gold, platinum and silver. We can use copper, but its brilliancy and color soon change under the influence of the sulphurous vapors so frequently diffused in our habitations.
