PLATINUM REALLY AN ALLOY |
Its Use by Jewellers and Dentists Is
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. 1t 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 10.
Tho output of platinum in the United
States is practically limited to Cali
fornia and Oregon.
Owing to its 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 of sulphuric acid the metal has
been used in making large concentra-
ton kettles. but of late gold has been
substituted for it. In photography,
dentistry and electric installation
much platinum is used OF late the
manufacture Of jewelry has con-
sumed large quantities of It, 1t is ex-
tensively used for chains and for the
setting of diamonds, the claim being
made. not only that 1t 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 a &C.
