The American Museum o f Natural History has issued s bulletin giving many interesting facts relating to platinum, one o f the most striking of which relates to Its ductility.

To draw out plat inum Into so exceedingly fine a w ire It’ Is covered with a thin layer o f gold. This wire Is drawn to the thinness of the former one. and the gold is dis solved. A small section of ibis sec ond wire Is then j'lven h 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. England’s “ Mad Poet.” The name “ Mad Poet" was applied to Nathaniel Lee, an English dram atist who was bom In Hatfield,. In 1068.

For a time he was on the stage, bat Inter devoted himself to writing tragedies, of which he produced about a dozen. His first successful play was the “ Ri val Queens’’ (1681). known afterwards as “ Alexander the Great." in wbteh oc curs the famous line. “ When Greek joined Greek then was the tug o f war.” He collaborated with Dryden In “The fluke of Guise,” (1682).
