ODD FACTS

The American Museum of Natural
History has issued a bulletin giving
many interesting facts relating to plat
mum, one of the most striking of which
relates to its ductility The marvellous
ductility of platinum may be conceived
when we consider that out of a single
troy ounce of the metal it would be pos
sibie to make an almost infinitely slen-
der wire that would reach from Santi-
ago, Chile, across the continent to Rio
de Janeiro. a distance of about 1880
miles To draw out platinum into so
exceedingly fine a wire it is covered
with thin layer of gold. This new
wire is drawn to the thinness of the
former one and the gold is dissolved.
A small section of this second wire is
then given coating of gold, redrawn
and the gold covering dissolved. After
this process has been repeated several
times the wire finally is still intact. but
virtually invisible.

The arrival of the big airship from

the discussion going with respect to
Germany. Under the terms of the
armistice, Tor instance, Germany will
be forbidden to manufacture aircraft
for six months, but eventually she
will develop her Zeppelins for trans
atlantic commercial travel. The
manufacture of noncombustible gas
will assist materially in making the
dirigible practical for ocean travel,
and experts say experiments thus far
made warrant the prediction that
such a fuel will be provided in a rea-
sonable time. Just as the gas engine
and automobile developed more utili-
