There is a substance called the black oxide of manganese: it is a very black-looking mineral, but very useful, and when made red-hot it gives out oxygen.

My readers should see a table laid out in a wealthy Canadian farmer's house before they can have any idea of the profusion displayed in the entertainment of two visitors and their young children. It was a black-looking compound, and I did not attempt to discuss its merits. The vessel in which it had been prepared had prejudiced me, and rendered me very skeptical on that score.
"No," I said "not in a case like this." "Glad of it," he says sincerely; "because, do you know, old man, I've polished off such a thundering lot, that, I've got to be quite narvous about getting killed myself.
