During this interval, the girls, being of q
lively turn, began asking him questions
about his mode of iolmer life; among
other things they ask him to give .
war-whoop and show them how he scalped

time afterward, when they were talking
OF other subjects and had forgotten all
about him, he sprang up suddenly, gave
a war-whoop that made the heusetor

Electricity as Factor in Capital.

mo enterprise in the world" saio q
well known electrician, "has increased
within the last few years as rapidly as
the business OF electric lighting. The
amount of money invested in electric
light plants in this country today is
$l21. 900, and it is only eleven years
ago. you remember, that the light was
first perfected. From the few lamps
burned by Edison at Menlo Park, in
1879, there have grown into present use
ut least l25, 900 arc light and 100, 900 in
candescent lights"
One CT the most noticeable results OF
this remarkable growth, says Electric
Power, is the increase in the price Of
platinum. Here is an incandescent lamp.
You see the short strip of wire attached
to the copper conductor just at the top OF
the globe. Well, that is platinum. 1t
connects the carbonized loop, and is one
Of the absolutely indispensable features
of the lamp. because it expands at the
same temperature and In the same pro-
portion as the glass globe. There have
been good many experiments for the
purpose Of determining substitute for
platinum, but none has been found, the
experiments resulting in each instance in
the unequal expansion of the metal and
the glass, and the consequent breaking
of the globe. Unfortunately, every lamp
requires strip of this metal. / say
unfortunately" because it has come to
be extremely valuable, and the mines
are not productive. Moreover, they are
situated in the Ural mountains and are
practically inaccessibl'. As result OF
this increasing demand and diminishing
supply, the price OF platinum has ad-
vanced tremendously. it is now almost
as valuable as gold Five years ago the
metal was seldom used in this country.

it had increased to sl4, and l see by one
OF the trade journals that it is now gone

than today's gold quotation.
Platinum gets its name from the Span
