The part now played in chemical industry by sulphur and its wide variety of compounds scarcely needs emphasis. The astonishing increase in the production of sulphur and sulphuric acid during the last two decades, made possible by the discovery of the vast deposits of sulphur in Louisiana, is itself indicative of widespread applications. Many of the compounds of sulphur are notable for possessing valuable properties, and their use extends into almost every branch of- modern industry their chemical investigation has contributed much to the advancement of science and to the amenities of domestic life. Probably in no direction has sulphur more widely and directly influenced the general public than in connection with methods of transport, which have been revolutionised by the introduction of sulphur-vulcanised rubber as a wear-resisting, shock-absorbing material for the equipment of wheels of motor vehicles.
