shortages in money, in labor and In

New orders In iron and steel are In
excess of the output and producers are

PLATINUM HAS MANY USES.

The mineral called platinum is real.
a natural alloy of platinum, iri.
lium. rhodium, palladium and often
smium with varying amounts of iron
copper and gold, according to the u
J. geological survey. 1t is usually
'ound as small nuggets. scales, and
| 'ounded or irregular grains: It's color is
'teel-gray. The specific gravity of the
rude platinum varies from II to 10.
The percentage of metal varies also
within wide limits, usually from 70 to
Is per cent Platinum is almost who'll
produced in California and Oregon
nd the output for the United States
practically limited to these states.
Owing to its high melting point and
sreat resistance to acids, platinum is
Extensively used for laboratory uten-
lis. Platinum salts are employed in
hemical analysis. In the manufacture
# sulphuric acid the metal has been
lsed in making large concentration
Kettles. but of late gold has been sub
'tituted for It. In photography, dem
tistry and electric installation much
platinum Is used. OF late the manu-
acture of jewelry has consumed large
quantities of it. 1t is extensively used
sor chains and for the setting of dia-
monds, the claim being made not on
~ that 1t is more resistant than silver

stones are better Offset by platinum

Kind of setting
Owing to the high price demanded
for platinum during the last two years
great demand for a substitute has
,risen. At one time much platinum
was used in the manufacture Of incan-
descent lamps, but 1t is now almost en-
tirely replaced by tungsten. Platinum
'riangles. used extensively in labora-
tories, have recently been successfully
replaced by similar appliances made Of
llloy of nickel and chromium. Never

AMERICAN MINES PRODUCE

1alued at $2a6,3SO.
An important feature of the gem

How It All Happened.

When Adam met Eve he was BASH

to play court
(You may put all your trust in

And he murmured to her on an eve

You're the prettiest girl that I ever

And that's how that started.
| When Eve, with beautiful blush
on her face,
Yielded shyly and sweetly to Adj
ANS embrace,
And put up her lips for the true
lovers pact
(You may set all this down as an

She inquired, while he breathed the
fond names on his list:

she sighed and she sighed.
And she let him take hold of her lily

Then she said in voice that was

Then Adam told Eve: Were invit-
