Abdlam, that rod looks somewhat similar to a PPL. I'm not sure about the table salt (sodium chloride), I've heard potasium chloride has some very slight radioactivity. As for the sulphur, it has some interesting properties especially related to electrostatics. The old electroscopes used sulphur as the insulator where the rod comes out of the jar.
