WAR DEMAND FOR PLATINUM
Is Essential in Production Of Sulphuric
Acid, Indispensable in Manufac-
ture Of Explosives.

Two universally known products
one rare metal, the other common
acid-have lately assumed Importance
that is mystifying to the laity. Plati-
mum has become virtually the king Of
metals, and sulphuric acid the king Of
chemicals. The reasons for this are
most simple. Platinum Is obtained
chiefly from the Ural mountains. Owing
to chaotic conditions In Russia, little
of it is being mined. 1t Is absolutely
essential in the manufacture Of sui
phuric acid. Without small amount
of it being present oxygen, water and
sulphur dioxide will not unite chem
ically. Sulphuric acid, on the other
hand, was probably the most indis-
pensable product used in the prosecu-
ton Of the war. It's tremendous Atm
ity for water made 1t vitality important
In the manufacture of high explosives.
For instance, one obtains fairly
harmless liquid by mixing glycsrin and
nitric acid. If sulphuric acid Is added.
1t combines the two chemically by
taking an atom Of hydrogen and one
of oxygen from the nitric acid, an
atom Of hydrogen from the glycerin,
forming water. and taking 1t unto it.
self. One then has nitroglycerin. In q
similar manner sulphuric acid is need
ed for the manufacture Of guncotton
and INT. Thus we had the pecu-
liar cycle Of circumstances that made
1t unpatriotic for an American to have
In his possession more than an ounce
of platinum in the form Of jewelry.
Incidentally. however. there is said to
be good reason for the belief that a
very large proportion of the So-called
platinum In modern jewelry Is com
posed wholly or at least in part OF
cheaper metals.-Popular Mechanics

Passing of Emma.

Emma lis dead. She died. not per-
haps altogether that others might live.
but she surely died to make an Amcri-
can holiday. Most Of her life she had
been petted and dined. for it was de-
signed that she put on weight, much
as the female Of the species objects to
embOnpoint. Emma was. in her tender
youth, removed from base hospital 10
to base 81. And that Is just where in
terest for all the folks at home who
have boys at base 80 starts. for surely
no member of the hospital so far for
got his surroundings as not to mention
Emma in his letters. SO Emma grew
and grew. Recently the end came. 1t
was announced In letter home thus
laconically and graphically: "We ate
Emma yesterday" She was served to
the hospital attaches, and while it may
be disloyal to say so. the diners say
she tasted better than American pork.
But weep not. you outsiders who read
this, for Emma was only wild hog

IN THEIR LAST LONG SLEEP
Beautiful Spot In Which Have Been
Laid American Soldiers Who
Died In Liberty'a Cause.

On the wooded slope Of steep hill
that rises high over great bend In
the River Seine lies a little plot of
earth that is as much America as Is
the national cemetery at Arlington or
the hallowcd ground Of Gettysburg. 1t
is u quiet and peaceful spot, for al
though Paris is near-the slender pin
nucle of the Eiffel tower is in plain
view over the trees-the city Is sepa-
rated from the American cemetery at
Surnesnes by the green expanse OF
the Bots de Boulogne. The heart OF
the city that Is the heart Of the world
is not five miles away; you would
think it at least fifty. tits a spot far
removed from war, and yet there are
enough Of the accOutrements OF war
about 1t to remind the visitor that the
700 graves here are the graves Of SOL
diers-mostly of soldiers who died Of
their wounds on the journey In from
the front or at one of the hospitals in
or near the capital. Further up the
slope frown the ramparts of the fort
of Mount Valerien, one In the chain
of defenses that surround Paris. Dur
ing hostilities planes flew from field to
field, the drone of their motors never
so clear as in this quiet countryside.
And more warlike still, an occasional
cannon shot echoed from testing
ground in the neighborhOod. The lit
tie cemetery itself, with its we'll
aligned rows of white wooden crosses,
will some day be as green and fair q

the leaves of plant which Niebuhr
described as long ago as ITO. The
plant is the Catha edulis. or Arabian
tea, which Is cultivated or grown wild
on the East African coast from Abys-
sinia to Natal. in the Nile valley, and
in Arabia. The leaves are called by
the natives "kat," and when boiled give
off liquor which Is said to be
a powerful stimulant. The natives
drink this tea before starting on long
marches or other strenuous labors.
The tea is said to have a pleasant
aroma and to be useful against neu-
ralgia, while In many regions the
plant is considered to be IA protec--
