WHERE PLATINUM IS FOUND
Hare Metal In Small Quantities Usu-
ally Is Associated With Gold
in Gravel Beds.

Platinum is found associated with
gold, principally in gravel beds. The
ordinary source is accommodations OF
gravel which have been eroded from
extensive area and gradually concen-
trated in one locality by the continued
action of water. 1t is a rare metal
and the accumulation must be from
great extent of country If a paying
deposit is to be developed.
Platinum is of a silver gray color
which is rarely furnished Its devoi-
opment is similar to gold, except that
where gold is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark colored rocks, and espe-
cially tvs OF a greenish shading.
1t is 1uis only in small quantities,
except al t. ! or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi-
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
1t is found over considerable areas,
but not sufficiently concentrated 10 be
of importance. 1t may be looked for
among the formations adjacent t, re
gions of old volcanic activity
The distribution is principally in al
tered rocks, and segregation seems to
have been the principal cause con-
tributing to its collection In ore
bodies. The deposits found up to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not of great ex-
tent, consequently all platinum de-
posits must be considered with eau
ton.
OF the rare metals associated with
platinum, iridium, osmium, palladium
and others, little need be said because
of their rarity. If found they will be
associated with platinum and will be
known by the greater hardness,
brighter surface and greater specific
gravity.-Moody's Magazine.

"AeropetomanIe.v

Some months ago a learned profess
sor at the Sorbonne wrote to the Paris
ian papers proposing that the word
''petomane" be used as a term to des-
ignate the aviator, the word petomane
being based, he explained, on the
Greek root pet" to fly. Another
learned person says that the word
harks back to the earliest days Of aer-
ostation, and quotes from Der
Deutsche Merkur (the German Mer-
cTy), published by Wieland at Wei
mar, in October, 1888, which speaks
of "Aeropetomanie," or the latest pro
gress in flying.

THREAD DOES sLEUTH WORK
Milwaukee Merchant Devlses Clever
Scheme to Get Rid of Trouble
some ShopIifter.

The manager of local department
store took an efficacious method Of
Kidding himself of troublesome pet
ty shoplifter recently. The woman has
been coming into the store and pick
ing up a small remnant, spool Of
thread, thimble or other article that
happened to be lying about, having
little intrinsic value, but being never
theless a source of annoyance to both
the clerk and the management Be
cause of the position of the woman,
it was Undesirable to institute an ac-
ton. /,
A few days ago the manager took a
spool Of silk from the case, fastened
the loose end of the thread with a
tack, and allowing bit of slack, left
1t upon the counter 1t wassnot long
before his party arrived, and deity
dropping the spool into her shopping
bag, started out. The manager de-
tached the Loose end and followed her
up the street, a few yards in the rear.
He trailed her into another downtown
store, and, as she was standing beside
a counter in the midst of crowded
array of bargain seekers, approached
her, calmly winding his thread and po-
litely said:
Madame, I'll trouble you for that
spool of thread"
What followed can be more easily
imagined than described. He got the
thread and has not been troubled with
losses since, nor have the other stores,
so far as may be Observation-Disclosures

him with crises of moment, But he
had never contemplated anything
which imposed so hard a task upon
his judgment and his feelings as the
approaching interview. What means
young Haldane would take to induce
his sister to come with him, how
much of what had transpired he would
tell her, Gormly had no means of
knowing OF course; but he felt con-
fident that by hook or crook the young
woman would be produced. and that
few minutes would find him face to
face with her.
He did not In the least know how
to begin or what to say, and the more

A MANS REPUTATION

Some minds plume themselves es-
pecially upon not being taken in by
any appearance of masculine virtue.
To them the really attractive points
in American history are that Wash
ington drank rum before breakfast
or that a jocular allusion in one of
Douglas speeches suggested youth
full convivality on Lincoln's part. Any
mans reputation for domestic NOR
atty provokes in them the same in
terest as a conjurers trick. They'd
like to know how the fake was work
ed, and wait in astute assurance that
time will expose it. AS to such per-
sons, it is quite true that in some re-
spects no man can. properly speak
ing, have a reputation. If he has
shown unblemished probity in money
matters for many years, that, they
will admit constitutes strong pre-
sumptive evidence that he did not
steal the gold watch that was missing
after a conference at which he was
present If he has been uniformly
kind and temperate all his life they
will not readily believe that he muir
dered the stranger who was found
dead in the alley behind his house.
If no one ever caught him in a lie
his word will carry greater weight
with them than that of a habitual
prevaricator; but. though he has liv-
ed to threescore and en- untouched by
any breath of domestic scandal, the
moment an instinuation in that dir
ection is raised against him he might
as weH-so far as these astute citi-
zens are concerned have been a mo-
torious sinner all his life. His rec
ord counts for nothing with them ex-
cent to aggravate his assumed Of
Tense. Their Judgment is: HE was
certainly a sly old dog but he's
been found out at last"
There are such people-but for
tunately. there are others.-satur-
