PLATINUM REALLY AN ALLOY
It's Use by Jewellers and Dentists 10
What Has Made II q 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. II Is usually found as
small nuggets, scales and rounded or
irregular grains. It's color Is steel
gray. The specific gravity of the
crude platinum varies from IA to 10.
The output OF platinum in the United
States is practically limited to Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Owing to it's high melting point and
great resistance to acids, platinum Is
extensively used for laboratory uten.
sis. Platinum salts are employed in
chemical analyses. In the manufac.
ture of sulphuric acid the metal has
been used in making large concentra-
ton kettles, but of late gold has been
substituted for II. In photography,
dentistry and electric installation
much platinum is used. OF late the
manufacture of jewelry has con-
sumed large quantities of II. It is ex-
tensively used for chains and for the
setting of diamonds, the claim being
made, not only that II is more resist.
ant than silver and harder than gold,
but that the stones are better Offset
by platinum and appear larger than In
any other kind of setting.-From &C.

The Democratic Platform.

AS democrats turn their atten-
ton to a retrospective view of
the state convention and its
work, many seek an explanation
of the party to adopt a platform
in accordance with the expressed
desires of Gov. Marshall, State
Chairman Korbly and other well
known leaders.
Two planks. which it was gen.
orally conceded, would be includ-
ed in the platform were omitted
altogether. They were the plank
pledging the party to convert
the railroad commission into pub
lie utilities commission and the
plank pledging the party to pass
q statewide primary law.
The explanation will not long
battle the political ANALYSTS.
Convention was moving day for
BIC Business. It moved across
the line which separates republic
cans from democrats and took
possession of the democratic par
ty. It's strange influence was
felt in the platform committee
wher the public utilities measure
was defeated by a vote of to Z.
In the platform committee,
Big Business was ably represent
ed by that pillar of corporate
control, the Honorable Frank M.
Kistler of Logansport. The
Honorable Mr.. Kistler was the
chairman of the platform COM
mittSe. Why he ever was ap'
pointed to this important place
is more than honest, well-mean.
ing democrats were able to deter.
mine. Again, the answer is
easy. Kistler and his associates,
the Honorable Michael M. Foley,
the Honorable Mike Ryan, the
Honorable Joe Bell. the Honor
able Samuel Murdoch, ct cetera,
were on the job with only one
end in view-the nomination OF
candidates believed to be friend
ly.to the interests they represent.
When the platform adopted by
the democratic state convention
has been analysed, for evidence:
of craftsmanship, there is a ire
NOR in the hearts of many demo
Gratis who had expected some
thing of real significance from
the platform committee on tn
eve Of a national campaign. Til
platform is a glazing example O
petty politics. 1t is a make-shit

was drafted with the view of OF
