PLATINUM SELDOM STOLEN.
Professional Thieves Realize That,
Although Valuable, IL Is Not
Easily Disposed OF.


One kind of valuable plate quit
abundant in New York is seldom
stolen by burglars. though the meta
Of which il is made far exceeds sill
yer in cost, says the Times of thar
city. Every college chemical labora
tory and scores Of factory labora
tories have costly vessels made OF
platinum. The plain metal is usual
ly worth about its weight in gold
and made up into crucibles and other
vessels used in laboratories it is
much more valuable than in its ordi.
nary form. The makers of such
ware, in fact, must earn large prof.
its, for their charges are high, al.
though the metal is made into the
simplest forms, without decoration
of any sort. A tiny erucible, hold
ing perhaps only a gill. is worth
eight or ten dollars, and some of
the larger vessels used by chemists
are worth several hundred dollars
each.
The value of these vessels is so
great that they are locked up every
night in a safe in any well-conducted
chemical laboratory, and frequently
counted. Damaged vessels, and even
the smallest scraps of platinum
wire, are carefully treasured, and
sent to the factory from time to
time in order 10 be made over into
new vessels. A chemist has some
what the same feeling toward his
platinum plate that a housekeeper
has toward her solid silver, but the
chemists plate is worth far more
than any but the most deliberately
wrought silver ware. 1t Is also much
more liable TO damage.
The presence of a small quantity |
Of lead in hot crucible of platinum
IS likely to bring about a puncture
Of the crucible. A punctured crucibSe
must go TO the factory, and repairs
are very costly. Much Of such ware
used here is made in a little Pennsyl.

here are few workmen who under

in the day when they came from the

iowever, by the application Of hot
eater and acid solutions. as they
lose in weight by rubbing. i
One reason why platinum nipple.
lents are seldom stolen by burglars
es in the fact that they are not
asily disposed of. The metal is hard
0 melt, and a large vessel is not
asily hammered out of recognition. q
awnbrokers are shy of accepting v

dens, says the London Standard OF
recent date. This curious animal is
a native of the East Indies, ranging
from Assam southwark through
siam and the Malay peninsula TO
Sumatra and Java. A large specI.
men will measure about five feet
in total length, of which the tail
counts for nearly half. The long.
coarse hair is black, but there is a
gray wash on the head and fore
limbs and there IS a little white over
the eyes and on the throat; the ears
are short and carry long tufts of
hair. Its English book name, bear

pertaining the animals true place in
their schemes of classification.
Although it was at one time placed
with the bears, il is now regarded
as closely allied to the palm ciyets.
In matters of diet the binturong IS
not hard TO please. When opportuni-

When these cannot be secured il will
lpport itself on fruits, and in can

readily. The binturong is more ac-

and lives almost entirely among the
branches of the trees Of the forest
regions in which it is found. 1t is
remarkable as being the only true
mammal of the eastern hemisphere
which has a prehensile tail. 1t can
