	PHOSPHOR FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Working in Hamburg, Brand attempted to distill salts by evaporating urine, and in the process produced a white material that glowed in the dark.
		Phosphorus itself is NOT a phosphor; it is highly reactive and gives-off a faint glow upon uniting with oxygen.
		The glow observed by Brand was actually caused by the very slow burning of the phosphorus, but as he saw no flame nor felt any heat he did not recognize it as burning.

		Phosphorus was first isolated in 1669 by German physician Hennig Brand (ca.
		Brand was convinced that the key to changing metals into gold could be found in urine.
		Before Brand's discovery, phosphorus and its various compounds have been mentioned in old manuscripts as phosphorescents, or materials that glow in the dark.

		He experimented with distilling human (Liquid excretory product) urine, until he finally got a white glowing substance.
		However he kept his discovery secret, so it was not until (Irish chemist who established that air has weight and whose definitions of chemical elements and chemical reactions helped to dissociate chemistry from alchemy (1627-1691)) Robert Boyle rediscovered it 1680 that the new element became public.

	Phosphorus: fire from urine
		Brand had discovered phosphorus, the first element isolated other than the metals and non-metals, such as gold, lead and sulphur, that were known to the ancient civilisations.
		Brand's discovery was an accident but his discovery of phosphorus mirabile would turn out to be more valuable than gold in the future, for this 'cold fire' would enable inventors to produce fire on demand, an unimaginable achievement to Brand's contemporaries.
		Brand had tried to keep the method secret but he had sold the 'secret' to the German chemist, Krafft, who showed off the new wonder substance around the courts of Europe where Robert Boyle saw it in London.

	Properties, occurrence, and uses. (from phosphorus) -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		Phosphorus was first prepared in elemental form in 1669 by a German alchemist, Hennig Brand, from a residue of evaporated urine.
		In 1669 the German alchemist Hennig Brand discovered the chemical element known as phosphorus.
		The element got its name from the Greek phosphoros, meaning “light bearing,” because in the dark and in moist air it can be seen to glow with a dull white light.

		Phosphorus is in group 15 (or Va) of the periodic table (see Periodic Law).
		Phosphorus was discovered about 1669 by the German alchemist Hennig Brand in the course of experiments in which he attempted to prepare gold from silver.
		The element’s name was drawn from the Greek word phosphoros, “light bearing,” because many phosphorus compounds are phosphorescent: they store light and give it off later.

		The first scientific discovery of an element was the discovery of Phosphorus in 1649 by Hennig Brand.
		By 1869, 63 elements were known, and as this number grew, patterns in the properties of these elememnts were noticed and a number of classification systems were devised.
		This led to Mendeleev publishing his table and a statement of periodic law in 1869.

		He then mixed this residue with sand, heated this mixture in the presence of a minimum of air, and collected under water the volatile products that distilled out of the reaction flask.
