Platinum.

The discovery Of deposits Of platinum
in this country would be as welcome as
the finding of a diamond mine. At pres.
ent the metal costs nearly half as much
as gold, having risen greatly in price
within the last three years 1t is abso-
lutely indispensable for many purposes,
being noncorrosive and resisting acids.
1t is used for chemical apparatus, scien-
tifc instruments and incandescent
lamps There is some platinum in the
beach sands of Oregon, but not enough
to pay for mining. Small quantities Of
it have been discovered recently in the
copper mines Of Canada, where it occurs
in a new combination wits arsenic.
Two-thirds of the worlds supply Of
platinum comes from two Siberian mines
in the Ural mountains. The metal is OBJ
tanned there as a by product Of gold
mining. The mining is done by scooping
holes in the ground to a depth Of about
Is feet and then burrowing, rat fashion,
in all directions Twenty nine hundred
carloads Of earth are required to yield 10
pounds Of platinum. The biggest nugget
ever found was about the size Of tum-
bier Now the gold is getting scarce, and
the laborers have been drawn of TO build
the great transsiberian railway. Hence
the increased cost Of platinum, which,
unless new deposits are found, is like
ly never to be cheaper than it is at pres

A Strange Pictorial Error

With regard to the numerous techni-
cal mistakes committed by artists who
select military subjects for their pic
lures a good story is told Of the late
Frank Holl. In his painting room he
had a portrait Of the Duke Of Edinburgh
as one of the elder brothers Of the Trim
ity House.
The duke, Of course, wore naval cos
tune, which affords little opportunity
for color to the painter. There is the
blue Of blue cloth, and there is the gold
of gold lace, and there is very little
more. The union jack, with its angles
and patches Of white, red and blue-a
blue Of different quality from the uni.
form-was the painters chance, and
Frank Holl seized it with painters
avidity.
The duke stood beside little table,
Of which the flag acted as cloth or
cover The artist so arranged this bit
of drapery as to harmonic with his
general scheme, and, much delighted
with the result, awaited the verdict Of
the Trinity brethren. Some Of these
came to the studio and were one and
all dissatisfied. Poor Frank Holl was
greatly surprised and disconnected. The
picture would not do at all, and, in fact,
could not be hung as it then appeared.
And Holl had taken such pains with
that portrait and was so delighted with
his clever conquest Of its difficulties
Then the critics explained that the flag
was disposed upside down; that this
meant the surrender Of the ship; that
the duke would be dissraced, the Trini-
ty House disgraced, the service disgrace
ed, England disgraced, unless the flag
hung the other way on the round table
