✦ Synopsis

Canadium, a New Metal. ANON. (The Metal Ind., ix, I2, 5o8.) Canadium was discovered by Mr. A. G. French, in a deposit of platinum metals in one of the gold mines in British Columbia. Canadium is sometimes found isolated and sometimes combined. Canadium is a beautiful white metal, a little softer than gold or silver and melts at a little lower temperature. It does not tarnish from damp, and is not affected by sulphides or iodine. It is much more brilliant, when burnished, than silver or palladium. It is electro-negative to silver, gold and palladium, and is not oxidizable even in the oxidizing flame of a blowpipe. It occurs in the form of metallic, semi-crystalline grains, small rods and scales.
