ANTIQUITY OF PLATINUM.
Discovery In Egypt That Seems to
settle n LonE-Disputed
.Guertlou.

Prof Berthclot reports in q recent
humber of the Complies Rendus that on
TIE metallic box from EGYPT, covered
with Inscriptions. he found portion
~ onr of the characters made OF plati-
uUtu. The mass was too small for a
complete analysis but from its be.
harior toward aqno rteia il appeared
10 be native platinum. The date ofthe
box was about 700 Is. {. From two
s;andpoints this discovery is of more
than passing interest 1t has been q
much disputed question whether plati-
mum Was known to the ancients. Pas
eages from the classics have been
quoted which appear to some to be ref
erences to platinum, but this applica-
ton is in every case very doubtful,
says Science.
A much stronger argument against
the probability OF platinum being
known more than few centuries ago
is that until this discovery of Berthe
lot no trace of the metal has been
found In any ancient remains. Had
platinum been known, it is hardly con-
ceivable that specimens of 1t should
fnil to be found somewhere among the
multitudinous remains of antiquity.
This present discovery really empha-
sizes the argument, for it. would seem
from the description given by Berthe
lot that this specimen of platinum was
used by the workmen unwittingly, re-
sembling as It. does some of the pale
gold of Egypt.
A second interesting point Is, that II
Berthelot's conjecture be true that this
is native platinum, obtained from the
alluvial deposits OF Nubia. or the upper
regions of the Nile valley, il is the first
recorded occurrence of pla atinum in At
rica, with the single exception of an
observation of Aime, in 1888. that some
OF the galens from Algeria contains .
trace of platinum.

A WEDDING PARTY.
lcoMMuNIcArED !

The other day walking with friend
we ran into weddiug party. My
friend did not seem 10 kuo& the parties
and 50 paid little attention to them.
But wedding party is always one oi
ioterest to those who know those who
compose it. Sometimes people manifest
their interest ia very unusual ways.
Such us drumming on tin pans and
blowing tin horns and such sort of ways
which may be pleasant enough for the
jokers but quite unpleasant for those
who are victims Of their fun. But my
friend was not one OF this sort, he
simply did not know the parties and so
passed them for what they seemed to be
some sort OF insects with wings. hav-
ing d fly In the sunshine OF the warm
afternoon.
The party was in fact composed OF
the winged portion OF an ants nest.
who bad been called out into the sun
shine to use their wings for the one oc.
casion Tor which they were provided;
and that occasion was the marriage OF
those who we're to he the mothers Of
other ants. and So the originators Of
o.her homes OF the little busy scaven.
gers who live in the earth and for them
II was the great occasion OF their lives.
The marriage embrace could not be
given except on the wing and In the air !;
and for this, the warm sun Of the after.
noon OF the fall day had called them out
to take their one flight on their wings
for which they had been provided.
When the brides would return to their
homes they pull off the no longer needed
wings. and retire into private life, to
perform the duties OF the mothers OF
the nests and to be carefully tended by
the wingless ants-the workers of the
homes.
Such wedding parties can often be
seen In the fall when passing the places
where the ants have made their nests,
but they will not be seen unless we
recognize the facts which have been
learned by careful observation-that
each home or ant hill, is composed Of
unwinged workers. called neuters, and
winged females and males-who are
only winged for the wedding flight
after which their wings are pulled off
as superfuous In the life of the future.

Her visits were SC useful to the Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent him $500, a step which naturally made him believe more firmly in the West Indian.

His old nickname, was Monty Corry." and when a young fellow he may be supposed, he was a much de- sired guest at country houses, where he invariably proved. "the life of the party" It was under these circum- stances that he first attracted the at tention of the late Lord Beaconsfield. Disraeli was never happy when one of house party in the country. His wife used to declare that, feeling bored and not "in touch" with. the rest of the party, he used to sulk and eat too much instead. of talkia at dinner. This made him inclined to be bilious, and she would be under the necessity of taking him home to Hughenden to re- cover. One evening, when tn one Of these lowspirited moods, he heard shouts and peals of delighted laughts- proceeding from room near that in which he was sitting, and on inyesti- gating found that this state of liyeli. ceSs-so unlike what he himself was feeling was produced by the singing, dancing and infectious good spirits of the good-humored young Irishman.

 Two tragedies were given by the fcranese players at the Boston theate1 recently, and the author of both-Ka- wakami-played the leading part in each. Japanese playwrights are cer- tainly versatile, and when the amount of physical labor involved in these tra- gedies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea Of "The Merchant of Venice" which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku" and in which be plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining as might be expected. 1t might be called wearl- some in places, owing to the protracted dialogue and insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people were talking about. The main features Q, the play are copied with some changes Thus the Jewish miser becomes a Ja. panese miserly fisherman, the pound of flesh is three square inches" to be cut off nearest the heart of the lover 0, miser's daughter, who has borrow 3 900 rio under the pledge of flesh feiture; and an older daughter ie Portia who becomes the judge anc ! ies the lovers life. The play ends L-ppily in the repentance of slroku, thougt not before the tragic element Is devolved in the suicide of the young er daughter. The shorter play that opened the bili ard is called Scarlet Snow" is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry in Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Tairo Ramon in consequence of his signing a treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is $ study of muscular realism on the stage The play Is ~iven entirely by the men. but in "Siroku" two ladies of the con- pany, Sada Yacco and Mikami, give de- ightful performances as the two daughters.
