The Value OF Platinum .

The market value of platinum is at
present nearly equal to that of gold
their respective prices being CA and
GA IS. Eighteen months ago, says the
Electrician, platinum was to be had
for about 80 shillings an ounce, and
six months ago the price was under
e3. Apart from the question of a
possible "corner and the ever-in-
creasing demand for platinum for
electrical purposes, this 166 per cent.
rise in price within eighteen months
may be attributed in a large measure
to the increased cost of production at
mines in the Ural mountains, whence
we draw our chief supply of the
metal. The owners of these mines,
owing to their large yield of gold,
were able to sell platinum compara-
lively cheap; the gold however, is
now becoming scarce, and hence the
platinum, which is still plentiful, can
no longer be sold at so low a figure.
Platinum, besides being used for the
leading-in wires of glow lamps, is
largely used for electrodes in electro
chemical work, and up to the pres
ent no satisfactory substitute for it
has been found so far as these appli-
cations are concerned.

There is said to be a great chance
for women to get married in the Ar
gentine Republic. There are about
sixteen men to one woman there and
the unmarried males are anxious to
get wives. A resident of Beunos
Ayres, who is on visit to this coun-
try, was interviewed the other day
by reporter for a Chicego paper,
who stated that when a new woman
comes to town about fifty men make
wild effort to secure her. 1t is
quite an interesting contest, and the
one who captures the prize is looked
upon as something of hero. The
local papers write columns about it,
and nearly everybody in the city
turns out to the wedding. 1t doesn't
matter much about the woman's age
or looks, she is received with open
arms and married off in a jiffy to
some real nice man. The woman
will have about fifty good-looking
suitors to pick from, so she need not
be anxious about not finding the kind
of man she wants. Three days is
the usual limit of love making.

Welded TO A BRUTE.
Pitiful Tale of the Abused Wife of o
Beach-Comber.

Beach -Comber.
halfstaryed looking woman, who had a
still worse appearing baby, called on Chief of
folice Rogers yesterday and asked for protec-
ton from her husband, John McSwain, a beach,
comber, who lives on the Commercial street ex-
tension over the tide fats. The woman told a
pitiful tale of brutal treatment and said that
she wanted TO leave her husband, but was afraid
he would kill herself and child. The chief sent
the woman to the House of the Good Shepherd
and there she will be cared for for the present;
meanwhile the police will hunt up her husband
and investigate the womans case.
reporter saw Mrs. McSwain at the House OF
the Good Shepherd yesterday afternoon and she
appeared to be a truly pitiable object. Her
child, who is but three months old, resembles
an Egyptian mummy and IL would not appear
to be flesh and blood at all were il not for its
large, unnatural eyes, which shine with Pc
culiar lustre. The child when born weighed
nine and one-half pounds, and now, three
months old, IL weighs but seven
pounds. The little ones skin is brown and
drawn and every bone stands out in painful
relief. The condition of the mother, girl OF
about 10 years, is almost az bad as her child.
She would not talk great deal, but between
her sobs she said that she was married to
McSwain year ago and that from fewsnonths
after their marriage he has abused her and
since the birth of her child his abuse has con-
tinued with tenfold increase; that from star
walton and beatings, she has been compelled to
seek another home.
