are eaten to an extent OF which we do
not dream, but In Sicily and Palermo
In particular the custom has attained
amazing proportions. Ices are eaten
by people of all ranks and ages from
morning to night. Where true Briton
would demand a glass of beer the
Palermian asks for an ice. Morning
noon and night the consumption OF
Ice goes on. They are in wonderful
variety and cheap.
The stranger In that beautiful coun
try finds the cafes invaded between

officers and men OF the army, mer

PLATINUM REALLY AN ALLOY
Its Use by Jewellers and Dentists 10
What Has Made II Costly
Metal.

The mineral called platinum Is
really a natural alloy OF iridium, rho
dinum, palladium and often osmium.
with varying amounts OF iron, copper
and gold. IL is usually found as
small nuggets. scales and rounded or
irregular grains. Its color Is steel
gray. The specific gravity OF the
crude platinum varies from IA to ID.
The output of platinum In the United
States Is practically limited to Call
fornia and Oregon.
Owing to it's high melting point and
great resistance to acids, platinum Is
extensively used for laboratory uten'
sils. Platinum salts are employed In
chemical analyses. In the manufac'
ture CT sulphuric acid the metal has
been used In making large concentra
ton kettles, but of late gold has been
substituted for 1t. In photography
dentistry and electric installation
much platinum is used. OF late the
manufacture of jewelry has con
sumed large quantities OF 1t. 1t is ex
tensively used for chains and for the
setting OF diamonds, the claim beins
made, not only that 1t is more resist
ant than silver and harder than gold
but that the stones are better offse
by platinum and appear larger than II
any other kind of setting .-Frcm a &c
