a thin film on the interior of the tubes of telescopes if forms a dead-black sur face, which prevents the light from be- ing reflected by the polished sides The demand for platinum largely exceeds the supply; hence the metal IS yearly advancing in price.
 Palladium is .1f lustrous white color. It is the most easily fused of the metals found in platinum ore and can even be volatilized. A curious quality which this metal posses is that when heated to redness it is porous to hydro gen gas, although it to pass through somewhat in the same manner that plotting paper permits the passage of water. The sflvery white color of pal ladium and it's freedom from furnishing render it useful for making scales and division marks on scientific lnstfu- ments A mixture of this metal with mercury is sometimes used for stoppign teeth. :.
 i Osmium is a metal which possesses two remarkabel properties; it is the most refractory of the metals, resisting fusion at the most intense heat, and it is also the heaviest substance known, ! being almost twenty-five and half times heavier than water. Together
 with iridium, it occurs principally in
 peculiar variety of ntaive platinum i called osmirfdiurn. This mineral differs i from ordinary platinum ore ln that II contains larger proportion of osmium i and iridium than platinum. OsIniridi- um is found in small particles, vary
 ing in weigh t from one-siXth to one-third of g. grain. These particles are eX-
 freely hard and are used for pointing npn-wearing pens. For this purpose as much as thirty ounces of osmiridium
 are used annually in the United States This mineral is 8 source of much trou- ble to the officials of the Russian mint, who find it extremely difficult to sepa-

 and ruthenium are metals of little prae-
 tical use The former occurs in plati- mum ore to the extent of 5 per cent, to

SOME PRECIOUS METALS.
The Noble" Metals-The Formation of
 Platinum.

The Noble" Metals-The Formation of
 Platinum.
 On the slopes of the Ural mountains, and in Brazil, California, Australia, Canada and many other countries, g peculiar substance known as native platinum is found. This is an alloy of the metals platinum, palladium, iri- dium, osmium, rhodium and rithenium, together with little gold and iron. All these except the last mentioned are noble metals They do not tarnish in the air, and are not soluble in any single acid. Their values per ounce are: Platinum, 96s; rhodium; 1908; os- mium, 20Os; iridium, 250s; rhodium, 4Os' and ruthenium, 450s. The most plenti- full metal occurring in native platinum is that from which it takes it's name. This metal is of grayish color, and with one exception is the heaviest sub stance known. Its fusing point is ex- tremely high, and this property, to- gether with it's freedom from tarnish- ing. causes it to be largely used for the manufacture of crucibles and other vessels required by scientists to stand a very high temperature. St is also sometimes used as a subtitute for gold in photography, and when deposited in

COLD IN NEw ENGLAND.

Vermont isn't as quiet as it used to be. There is quite disturbance all over the State about the liquor ques- tion," and the gold fever has also brok- en out in spots there. Some of the peo- pie in Bennington and Windhain coun- ties have been seeking for gold on their property for several months. In Ben nington traces of the yellow metal may be found even in the back yards of the town, but thus far no considerable amount of gold has appeared. Samples submitted to Professor Mason of the Renssalaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy have elicited from him only dis couraging reports. Pay gold, he says, does not exist in New England.
 The learned professor may be right in his statement if he means that pay gold doesn't exist in the dirt of New England. But there is plenty of pay gold ill New England if one knows where to look for it and how to extract it. How long ago is it that an ingen- ious and powerful extractor was getting
 much gold out of sea water which washed a part of New Englands shore? Other extractors are at work in various places and ways now with
 good results. Oh yes, there is pay gold in New England for those who have the art of getting it.

 we'll as some thought it would. In sev-
 eral recent labor questions it's decisions
 have caused much dissatisfaction, and
 in some instances open rebellion among the affected workmen. In the latest case the Court decided that Is. 4d. an hour was the proper wage for carpen- ters. The men had demanded Is. 6d., and. when the award was made, held an indignation meeting. The chairman
 said the judge had not taken into con- sideration the increased cost of living and rent in the district; and a resolution was carried to the effect that the award given by the Court was en-
 tirely contrary to the weight of evil
 dence adduced, while the Court itself
 as at present constituted was unworthy of the confidence of the workers. The meeting was practically unanimous in

 Oh, the inconsistency of woman! Vir- gil felt obliged to say "Varium ct mu- tabile semper fennina," and others have felt obliged to say more. Just how in- consistent a woman can be is indicated by some incidents in Marysville. Mis- souri. Two Irish women there quar- reled most outrageously over their back yard fences. Finally, the feeling be- tween them became so bad that one day when they met on the sidewalk each re- fused to turn aside. and they had a ough-and-tumble fight. Then each hurried away to the police court and had her antagonist arrested for assault and battery. Not long afterwards one of the women died, leaving a family ot small children. The surviving woman who had called the other woman out of her name, fought with her and cor dially hated her and her whole family, immediately forgave hel dead enemy, and began doing all she could to help the widowel and his little ones keep up their home The eldest of the orphans was a gir who is now seventeen years old. The other day this girl was getting dinner on a gasoline stove, when her clothe: caught fire. She fled from the house en- veloped in flames.
