All the varieties of its fortns, as Limestones, Shells, Chalk, etc., are composed of carbonic acid and lime, and hence is carbonate oflime. But when submitted, to heat the carbonic acid is driven offand tholinie remains. This is called quick lime, which, when exposed to the air, ultimater falls into pow- der, by absorbing carbonic acid from the air and forming thereby carbonate oflime again ; or when water is thrown upon it, swells and becomes one-third heavier by the com- bination with it of the oxygen ofthe water, and giving off the hydrogen with the latent heat of the water, which before kept in a fluid state. Lime is used in a mild state, as a car. bonate, iii marls, chalk, powdered shells, etc.; or in a caustic or quick state, as it comes from the burning, or after being slacked. Marl contains from 5 to 20 per cent. of carbonate oflime in the state ofa fine powder. Shell sand, found on the shores, contains also from 20 to 50 per cent. of silicious sand.
