Alloys have been devised fo r use in the ignition systems of internal-com bustion engines, but no substitue for platinum has been found for certain delicate parts o f these systems. Plati num and allied rare metals are widely a nployed in instruments of precision re quired for making physical testa of ma terials o f all kinds.

The United States alone annually uses about 166,000 ounces o f fine platinum and produces lees than 1,000 ounces of crude platinum. Realising the urgent necessity o f increasing the country’s production o f the metals o f the platinum g loop, the United States Geological Survey, lie pertinent of the Interio r, has planned an investigation in which L M Prindie and J. I f H ill, geologists, wtU visit places in this country where commercial depo3- its o f these metals m a^be found. N itlv s platinum, the metal, and sp v ry - litle (platinum arsenide) have been tuund n basic igneous recks at several places i the world'Vut notineommercud quant? ties. The search fo r platinum in rocks is the: afore not likely to obtain an imme diate supply of tbs mstol. Persons searching for platinum ores should remember, however, th a t the as say for platinum is difficult and appar ently cannot bo successfully made by all commercial asssyers. samples of sqp- CSed platiuiferious ores should th e re for« be sent only to the meet competent asaayers. The United States Geological Survey has received several reports o f discoveries o f rich platinum ore in which, as the reports state, “ the platinum coqid not be detected by the ordinary methods of assay.*', . Such Statem ents should ba regarded w ith great caution, for any platinum ore o f commercial grade w ill by competent and reliable asssyers. ■■ The platinum supplies o f the w< except • relatively small quantity, 1 IF YOU TOUCH « your tongue to I / ruin your stomach- F?

REMARKABLELUNO CURE. Y eu ng Clergym an Takaa to Outdoor Now Yorkers who have been advised by their physicians to seek out-door work In the country, and who lack cither means or opportunity te r mak ing the llteg lvln g change need not despair, says the Herald. Wonderful out-door cures are being worked right la the heart of tbs etty. A most ra- markdbls ease is that of a young cler gyman who for the last eight or nine months has been lecturing on a sight seeing coach. Last summer he want o Oxford college, England, for a spa tial courea of study, during which his icalth gave way, a n d h s returned to America with funds exhausted and the verdict o f nervous prostration and tu- bsremlosls hanging over his head. His N t # York physician told him to sack taWy from those of Russia, which h a w produced shout 96 per cen t o f the world'» output. The lergest part o f the crude placer platinum now produced in the United States is won by dredges work ing it California a t the west base o f the Starrs Nevada, in gravels derived from worn-down lodes and concentrated by na tural streams. The greeter production from this region than from northwestern California and southwestern Oregon and other placee would appear to he due to larger operations rather than to greater or richer deposits. All the know placer deposits th a t contain platinum are near areas o f basic igneous rocks, and i t would seem that the firs t stop In any aearch for nsw flespoaits o f platiniferious gravals is to look for out- e r o ia 'o f p srid o tite, p y ro x en ite, d u n ito, and serpentine. When areas o f these reeks have been found the gravels o f the streams th a t rise in them shout; be washed to tee whether they contain ptot- uium. Most o f the heavy coneentrstoa found in gravels that carry platinum are rich in chromite and olivine. The char acter o f the rock o f which the gravels were forme''; may give a d u e to their source. Crude platinum as it «*- ura in placer concentrates is ordinarily a silvery-whita metal, the freeh surface of which could be eon fused only w ith that of sijver, or possibly with that of Iron.
