The main source Of the worlds sup
plies OF platinum is normally Russia,
which once had an output OF 10000
ounces per annum, derived from gravel
beds. Az q result OF the war the price
Of platinum is about three times what
It was formerly. and the temptation
has. been considerable In this country
to boom platinum mining.
To this end all sorts OF properties
have been pronounced to be capable OF
producing platinum from ores Of vari-
Gus KINDS. and even shaies and sands
AS a matter OF fact, this country Is
practically destitute Of platinum, as II
is Of nickel and tin. and the cases In
which the United States bureau OF
mines has been able to check claims
advanced have revealed at the most
practically unavoidable traces OF the
metal" writes Engineering.

There Is an Interesting story about
how the first SOFT drinks happened to
be made.
Back Ia the days OF the American
Revolution a man named Townsend
Speakman was running little drug
store In Philadelphia. He supplied
medicines for Washlngton's army, and
was pretty well known. One day.

giSt Speakman succeeded In com
pounding the eoncocfion. The doc
tors patient liked the new water.
Soon. one patient after another passed
the word around and. before long.
Druggist Speakman had lots OF calls
for the new medicine water.
But Druggist Spaakman was a keen
business man and conceived the idea
OF fiayoring the medicine water with
fruit juices 10 increase It's popularity.
The plan worked. Ite popularity
spread like wildnro. That was the
beginning Of the carbonated soft
drink business,
The soft drink business has been
