story 1t belongs to the platinum group
and is found with that mineral in the Cral
mountains, Brazil. Peru and jim the Hartz
mountains. 1t was first introduced by a
chemist named Cox. 1t is similar in color
to platinum and is very malleable because
of its hexbiity. 1t is Il great absorbcr
of hydrogen gas, but is principally used in
the production of alloys. 1t is used in a
thin film to protect silvereiSurfaces. A
very close inspection of most silverware
will reveal thin coating of it OH the ar

tent from furnishing. Mirrors have been
backed with it. 1t gives an alloy with
zinc, nickel and tin. Palladium and sill

make bearings for the works Of watches.

parts gold, two parts silver and four parts

Doing, Of Absentmindcd Folk.

It is not pleasant to be absentminded,
but incidents in the lives of absentminded
people give rise to great deal of laughter
In this world. OF course no on0 believes
that there is any truth in the story OF the
absentminded man who put his clothes to
bed and hung himself carefully over the
back of his chair Nor have we found any
body yet who had any confidence in the
story Of the absentminded small boy who
went fishing and anchored the boat with
his fishhook and abandoned his sport be-
cause he could not find a worm large
enough to bait the anchor with.
These stories. however true they may
be, seem slightly exaggerated but there
are others quite as interesting and more
faithful to facts. For instance, there is
the story of man who arranged to give
an elaborate dinner TO anumerous and
distinguished company. The appointed
evening arrived. The collation.. an ele-
CANT one, was ready to be served. but the
guests came not. Half an hour passed,
and still they did not come. and the host
became really uneasy. When the delay
had grown 10 an hour and not man of
them had shown up. his feelings were in
describable. And who can picture his ag-
ony of spirit when, on returning TO his
room. he CHANGED TO pull open drawer
and therein found the whole bundle of
invitations which he had forgotten to send
out?
And what an absentminded young man
that must have been who. while being
married. replied to-the ministers question
if he was willing TO take the young lady
for his welded wife by scratching his
head and saying. "Yes, I'm willing. but
I'd much rather have her sister! '-Har-
