Ozone :: Ozone (n.) A colorless gaseous substance (O/) obtained (as by the silent discharge of electricity in oxygen) as an allotropic form of oxygen, containing three atoms in the molecule.

The name is often loosely applied to mixtures of zaffer proper with silica, or oxides of iron, manganese, etc..

Bind :: Bind (n.) Indurated clay, when much mixed with the oxide of iron..
