Platinum.

Platinum, one Of the most useful of
the metals in many ways, was named
by the Spaniards on account of it's
silvery color, plata signifying silver. It
was 70 md in the auriferous sands Of
the river Pinto, in South America, and
was unknown in Europe prior to 1741,
when Don Antonio Ulloa announced
its exisEe nce in his narrative Of a voy-
age to Peru. 1t was not until 1890
that platinum was rendered malleable
and dUctile by a DR.. William Hyde of
Wallaston. Platinum is largely en-
ploy ed in the manufacture of chemi-
cal utter sis, owing to its immunity to
the effects of heat, acid, etc.
