First MaIIeabIe Platinum.

The first veritable platinum in&Ot was made by a French chemist, Ca baneau. in 17S3. Charles III of Spain had called him to Madrid and created a special chair of mineralogy, physics and chemistry for him. In his labO"a- tory he found the secret of rendering the new metal malleable, and this is the way he revealed the fact to one of his patrons: "Three months later, at the home of the Count of Aranda, there appeared upon table an ingot some 10 centimeters cube (abOut four inchc7), with beautiful metallic luS- ter; it was malleable platinum. .''-NeW York Herald.

restore Manuel 10 the throne. Portu-
guese officials here declared that all di-
rect communication with their country
had been severed. The only advices
reaching here were rumors emsnating
principally from Madrid.
The whereabouts Of Manuel were un-
known.
A Madrid dispatch said he was aboard
steamship of Lisbon, awaiting a IA
vorable opportunity TO land.
The Portuguese legation was without
information regarding the insurrection
Press dispatches were eagerly read al
the legation. These messages called at
tention to the fact that several minis
ters supporting the monarchist revolu-
ton have the same names as ministers
who served under President paes. who
was assassinated. They are not be
lieved to be the same men, however.
Officials at the legation expected the
situation to be cleared up within 2i
hours. In the meantime, Portugars
peace delegation continued its labors. Il
was believed that even though the
Portuguese government should change.
the personal Of that country's peace
commission would remain unchanged.
