Mercury is a very shiny white metal with a density of 13.6; it is liquid at ordinary temperatures, becomes solid at 38.87°C and boils at 356.58°C.  It is represented by Hg in the periodic table.  It is used to fabricate physics devices such as barometers and thermometers, and to extract gold with which it </span><span lang="fr-ca">readily</span><span lang="en-ca"> bonds to form a composite.  It is highly conductive of heat.  In Greek and Roman mythology, Mercury (Hermes for the Greek) is the god of travellers and merchants.  He is a god with winged feet </span><span lang="fr-ca">who</span><span lang="en-ca"> carries messages from other gods.</span><span lang="fr-ca">  </span><span lang="en-ca"> He also guides the souls</span><span lang="fr-ca"> and takes them through the doors of the realm of the dead.  His attributes are the caduceus (symbol of the healer) and Pegasus, the winged horse, who is his companion.</span><span lang="en-ca">    </span> <span lang="fr-ca">Mercury</span><span lang="en-ca"> is a symbol of intellect, communication, movement and transportation.  In astrology, Mercury is the planet associated with Gemini </span><span

their world according to their intellect and mental skills, and by using their ability to adapt quickly and easily.</span></font></p> </blockquote> </div> <p align="right"> <img
