METALS DEARER THAN GOLD
Iridium, for Instance, 10 Three Times
as Expensve--osmlum 10 Dearer
and Heavier.

Gold is generally looked on as the
last word in costliness, but, as a mat
ter of fact, there are more metals
dearer than gold than there are cheap
er. The number Of known metals Is
about seventy.
Iridium, for instance, Of which big
find was made the other day in Aus
tria, Is three times as expensive as
gold. Gold is worth nearly $40 an
ounce. Iridium is worth some $62,
though the price will probably come
down now.
Osmium is another metal much
dearer than gold. 1t costs about $50 an
ounce. 1t is by far the heaviest of all
known substances, being more than ~
times as heavy as water. If pennies
were made of osmium 1t would tax
ones strength to carry the change OF
half dollar. This metal has the Pc
culiar property Of being able to stand
without melting the most intense heat
known.
Palladium, about $40 an ounce, is
Just the reverse. 1t Is quite easy to
make palladium vanish In steam. Be-
ing of white, silvery color, and un-
tarnishable, 1t Is used for the division
marks on scales and delicate scientific
instruments.

Acetylene gives a pure white light,
in which all articles show in their true

line vapor and air, the pure vapor be.
ing impral tical to burn on account Of
high pressure being required. While
the gasoline is considered somewhat
dangerous to handle, neglect and care.
lessness are large factor in the mat
ter and common carefulness will rem

are different grades Of gasoline for
sale, and that used for gas machines
should have specific gravity of sc

Many people who live outside the
limits of the gas companies lines do
not use gas, says Farm and Home, be-
cause they fail to realize how cheaply
the acetylene or gasoline machines can
be installed and at how small an ex-
pense they operate as compared with
other forms of lighting and cooking.

surprised to find out that it is just as
practical as Independent water works

Really Interesting Scientific Expert

An apparently empty bottle may be
made to blow out candle. The trick
is really an interesting scientific ex
pertinent, showing how compressed
air, directly the pressure which con
fines 1t Is removed, tends to assume
the normal density of the atmosphere
We take an ordinary bottle and, see
ing that 1t is empty and dry, we place
the ball of the thumb over the mouth
with just a small aperture uncovered
Then, placing our mouth to this, we
blow steadily and continuously into
the bottle.
The result is that the air in the bot
tie Is compressed. When we take our
mouth away we insure that no air
shall escape by instantly closing the
whole aperture with the ball of the
thumb which is already pressed over
part of the opening.
Now we invert the bottle and, plac-
ing the mouth against the fame of a
lighted candle, we remove so much OF
our hand as will make an opening sim.
