PLATINUM PLATE.
Valuable, but Seldom Stolen Because
It is Difficult to Sell.

IL AS O1ACuAI " 0CA4.
From the New York Times.
One kind of valuable plate quite abundant
in New York is seldom stolen by burglars.
though the metal Of which 1t is made far
exceeds silver in cost Every college chemi-
cal laboratory and scores of factory labora-
tories have costly vessels made of platinum.
The plain metal is usually 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 ordinary
form. The makers of such ware, in fact,
must earn large profits. for their charges
are high, although the metal Is made into
the simplest forms, without decoration OF
any sort. A tiny crucible holding perhaps
only gill is worth IS or $40. 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 to be
made over into new vessels. A chemist has
somewhat the same feeling toward his
platinum plate that a housekeeper has to-
ward her solid silver, but the chemist 8
plate is worth far more than any but the
most deliberately wrought silverware. 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 puncture of the crucible. A
punctured crucible must go to the factory,
and repairs are very costly. Much Of such
ware used here is made in a little Pennsyl-
vania town by a single firm, and there are
few workmen who understand the art OF
handling plStinum.
Treated with care. platinum vessels are
almost indestructible. They seem to suffer
nothing from the high temperatures to
which they are exposed in the laboratory,
and however long in use, a brisk rubbing
renders them as beautifully bright as on
the day when they came from the factory.
They are ordinarily cleaned, however, by
the application Of hot water and acid solu-
tions as they gradually lose in weight by
rubbing.
One reason why platinum implements are
seldom stolen by burglars lies in the fact
that they are not easily disposed Of The
metal is hard to melt. and large vessel is
not easily hammered out Of recognition.
Pawnbrokers are shy Of accepting articles
of platinum, because such articles, having
a comparatively narrow use. are not hard
to trace. Small crucibles and platinum wire
and rods do occasionally disappear from
laboratories, but the larger articles are
rarely stolen. When a man presents him.
self in a shop with a metal worth in the
neighborhood Of $3.50 pound for sale he is
naturally expected to tell how 1t came into
his possession.

Hysteria in Dogs.
From the London Graphic.


Nerves are the disease of the present day
among human beings, but did not know
till recently that hysteria is also malady
of dogs. A friend of mine owned dog
which suddenly one day was seized with an
attack of nerves. Since then 1t has been
very i'll. wandering necessarily round and
round the room. refusing food, but still rec
ognizing its owner. Another little dog SUI
fered from hysteria in consequence of
fright from railway travelling. and it really
seems as though civilization, in rendering
dogs more delicate and more susceptible.
had done them distinct physical injury.
