CAN MAKE SULPHURIC ACID
WITHOUT USING PLATINUM

WASHINGTON. Sep,. 81. The
discovery of a substitute for plat-
mum by an American chemist has
just been announced here. Tests so
far made indicate the discovery will
eliminate the necessity for plati-
mum in the production OF sulphuric
acid for war munitions and relieve
the platinum shortage which has
| caused the government serious anX-
iety and threatened disastrous
blow to the jewellers OF the country.
The discovery is regarded as one
OF the most important brought about
by the war. The formula by which
the new substance is produced Is a
secret closely guarded by the gov
ernment.
Platinum has long been held es-
sential in the manufacture OF sui
phuric acid which itself is abso-
lutely essential in the production OF
high explosives. Sulphuric acid is
made from air, water and the fumes
OF burning sulphur. These cheap
substances will not unite without
chemical provocation. A trace Of
platinum prONokes chemical combi-
nation and sulphuric acid is' the re-
suit. From a woman's platinum
ring hundred pounds Of sulphuric
acid can be produced every "a hours.
Russia has always been tho
worlds chief source Of platinum
supply. There are platinum mines
in Colombia in South America, which
since the war has broadened the
platinum market. are being more
extensively worked than in the last
$50 years. The Russian supply has
been shut off by the war and the
conditions OF anarchy prevailing in
Russia since the bolsheviki revolu-
tlon. The principal mines in Rus
sia are in the Ural mountains. IL

are overjoyed that a substitute for

government at first planned to com

idea was abandoned and a plan was

dous losses threatened business in

Many substitutes for platinum In
tho production OF sulphuric acid
have been invented in the last twenty
years but the present discovery is
the first, II Is said, by which sui
