MRSVASDERBILTSBATH1100JI An Apartment Beautiful Enough for Marie .Antoinette Herself , THE TWO SWEET GIRL GRADUATES , A I'rotljr Story Which MM ti Moral \Vrlltcn Tlicrnlii Olrls In the Silk Jlllls-CtirlnK n Mull Husband. According to the ow York World the bath-room in which MIH.V. . K. Vtimlerlillt [ lorfonns her morning ab lutions is the most Iwautldtl In Now Vorlc. Wealth , taste , art , research all nro coin blued most , prodigally In 1U ideal ollocU 11. M. Hunt , the archi tect , considers it thu triumph of his life. Evorythlnpr archttcctur.\l within Its precincts is purity and perfection itsolf. To begin with , thu room is In the most lulvantngeoua location In the bi ' ni-in- Blon nt FHly-firat street nml Fifth tivcnuc. It Is large , cool , and with per fect ventilation. Kxtcntlinjj around the room is a hijjh marble uruintcotlnj * , per fectly plain , except for a hand ot onyx ornaments , traced with lines ot pokl \vliloh run above the top. Above the wiini-cutinj , ' the walls of the room nro paneled with small beveled mirrors , hoparatetl and beautified with bmds : of Kilt moldings. Upon this beintlllatinf ? Hurfaco of pflitss are painted with oxquls- ito truth to life sprays of npplu blossoms literally laden with bloom. In well blended coloring of cream and gold the celling Is modeled in Henry II. orna ments , for the bath connects with a bed room arranged after the style of Henry III."s time. No de-eription of the INilntur'tt work * nn glvenn adequate idea ) f thu botiuty of the place , as ench .small niirroi' catohes up on its beveled face little refractions of color and light , and echoes them back upon the eye In im measurable fantastic shapes , until the effect bewilders and enchants. N'ear the center of the apartment Is the bath-tub and how poor the English language must bcem to Mrs. V. when it presents no more aristocratic designa tion for the lovely receptacle than the plain plebeian "tub. " But , however , the tuh is cut out of a solid block of marble , decorated along its upper edge with a carved molding of scallop shells , The water flows into the tub through faucets made in the form of swans' heads , with beaks of solid silver , Look ing down into the tub with a suggestion of anxiety upon her features , as if she had already felt the first chill of the purifying water , stands a Greek maiden , bculptured in n niche in the wall , hot- tunic uplifted modestly as if she were to step clown in a moment for a frolic with old Croton. This llguro Is by ono of the Coyscvox "brothers , sculptors In the days > f Louis XIV. , the original of which "is " in the Louvre. There "is not n piece of portable furniture in the room , tno only rcsting-placo beinga marble blab , sup ported by fabled creatures , also of the pure stone. This bath-room , as it is today , is said to have cost quite , a. few gold eagles over 820,000 , The ideas developed in this apartment were taken from the famous bath of JIario Antoinette at Fontuinebleau , which has long boon famous the world over. Some ono has said that this bath was the object of more eloquence and poetry than nil the rest of the historic Antoinette pile. From it was taken the suggestion not only for Mrs. Vander- bilt'H bath , but for that of Mrs. Sevard " \Vobb \ In her father's house. The Marie Antoinette hath has been 'most beautifully described by Mary Guy Humphreys. She says : "It consists of three rooms , or rather four rooms in three divisions. Of these ono overlooks a garden , and the middle one connects with bed rooms on cither side. The third Is an alcove , in which is the bath. The llrst two rooms nro hung with silk , with beveled bands over the door. The coiling is in relic ! and colored with soft , rich tints. The tub room Is impanneled In marble , nnd the tub , which is also marble , is sot in the wall and fed from swan necks with heads of solid silver. Hiiokof the tub is a largo mirror painted over with dimpled little boys pelt ing ono another with flowers. Mirrors are sot also in the celling , looking like crystal lakes among the soft Louis XIV. garlands. Imagination can scarcely go further than this reality. Empress Kugenlo attempted tp link her name with this historic spot , but the ruthless hands of the French effaced her mono gram and the verses she wrote on a glass panel were removed entire. " Two Sweet Girl Graduates. Two sweet girl graduates went forth to walk in the woods , says a writer in Harper's Uazar. In their holiday mood nil roads were ono to themnnd , when they came to a cross-road they turned Into it. A hunter who happened to bo standing near spoke to them. "Don't take that road , young women , " ho said ; "It Isn't safe , " . - " \Yhy isn't it safeV'asKedtho sweetest of the girl graduates , incredulously. "Ueeauso a bear has lately gone up " that way. ' "How do you know that ? Did you see the bear ? " "No , I didn't sco him , but there is his trail : " and the hunter pointed to some footprints on the ground. The girl graduates careful ! v examined track. ' . " "Do you know a boar trail when you pee it ? " queried the hunter. "If you mean the print of a bear's pawn on the ground , " said ono of the girl graduates , with a lofty nip , "I am biiro anyone could tell what would they look like. " "Did you over sco the tracks of n boar ? " repeated the hunter , te " 2vo , " replied the girl graduate , "but natural history gives us the conforma tion of a bear's paws , and the commonest mental oiwatlon would teach us from that what their tracks would look like. 1 don't think these look the least like the footprints of a bear. Hears have claws und there are no marks of claws here. " " Vho over heard of a bear without claws ? " # ald the other girl graduate , with a withering glance at the hunter. "What kind of tracks bo they then , mlfc-b ? " asked the hunter. "Indeed I don't ' know , " returned ono of the sweet girl graduates , supercili ously , "They certainly are not the tracks of a bear. " "Uesldes , " added the other sweet girl graduate , "who ever heard of bears walking itlonpr roads ? " The hunter's stock of arguments as well us words was limited , and ho said nothing. ThoBweetglrl graduates wont on their way. * They had not gone far when n boar upon them and ute them. The only parts of their nnatomv not masti cated beyond identity was their tongues , which , Uncling tough , the boar had swal lowed whole. Hoforo the process ol di gestion fairly begat' ' , these found time for a few words : "Thoy were boar tracks , alter nil , " eald one. "And suppose they were-1 , replied the other , "how were we to know. " The Cupped Woman. "May the sheriff have mercy on us if the caps como to town ! " Such was the prayer of a Twenty-sixth street milliner , nnd she said It rever ently , her voice echoing the s > : ulne. 3 of * her heart , says the New York World. Last year it was the tarpaulin that landed the struggling modlstu high nnd dry on the rocks of despair. She man aged to pay her rent ; nothingmore. . Goods were bought on'promisory notes , her help was reduced to a head clerk , a , buttons and a special designer , she her- wlf did the preparatory trimming , kept the books and what little cash there was , and subsisted on a diet of sunshine cake and fro/en hope. These beastly little tarpaulins designed by Mmc. Gautlcr , court milliner and ladies' hatter , ns : i ( < | > eclal to her highness , the princess of Walen , to complete a Cowes costume , were appropriated by the Four Hundred nnd brought over early in June. Following the floral hat and the shadow hat came the cap not In dozens ; but in cases , each stamped with the firm name of some London manufacturers. There were olllcers'caps In whlto ami cream serge , with a. strap and buttons ; there were navy caps of blue flannel.witii an anchor modestly picked out In white cotton ; there were ( told caps , yachting caps , tennis caps , with brass buttons , enamel buttons and 0. A. R buttons.and in almost undies variety were the fancy caps nnd roughing caps to go with the blazers nndjroofors so dear to the inati- modelled girls. They wore cheat ) , in which lay the sole hope of the milliner. At the seashore no other head coyer- ing is worn but a cap. The children wear caps ; the growing boys and girls wear caps ; the summer young men are capped : ovry girl you mfet looks at you from beneath a white , blue , or black peak , . \nd mothers ot six and eight chil dren gossip , govern , lecture , embroider , walk , sail , drive , lounge and cat break fast and lunch in caps exactly like the ones worn by their sons nnd daughters. The cap par excellence is the otlicer's cap'tnadowith a slightly stiffened crown , a full peak and a buttoned band. They are comfortable and all that , but the - have been the ruin of themillinery busi ness , and If by any chance they should "como to town1' ' as a part of the autumn costume they will bo the means of driv ing the already disheartened milliners into the madhouse or poorhouso. An effort is being made by a prominent woman's club in this city to secure Mr. Labouehero for a series of lectures. As the world knows , this radical has written - ton himself down "no great believer in love marriage , ' ' and the subjects ho has been asked to consider are friendship in marriage , the fate of educated wives , nnd the intellectual mission of mothers. These are themes in which all the pro gressive women of Xew York are Inter ested and the discussion of which by so nbloamind as the great Labouehero will crowd the largest club room in town. Cli-Is in the SilkMill : * . Of all the girls who work in factories , the young woman of the silk mill Is the brightest looking , the best clad , and usually the prettiest , Bays Harper's Weekly. You could scarcely believe , if you saw her in the street after the day is Done , or on Sunday or a holiday , that she has stood all t lie long day on her feet , plying her hands , her thought , her eye , nnd her car being unceasingly on the alert. She is smartly and genteelly dressed. She has a jaunty , bright air , her laughter is a. ripple , and the demure consciousness in her roguish eye tells you that she knows it all. She can well afTord to dress herself well , for if she be quick and capable her average weekly earning will not fall below 89. An experienced girl , with quick hands , and in whose bkill the em ployer can place conlidoncc , will rnako from 814 to * 18 per wook. And mercy me ! all the silent wooing , the mute language of eyes , that must go on among these lootnsand ; this is attested by the many couples that are constantly being wedded from these Paterson mills. 1 saw nil the process of the match making there as I saw the pro cess of fabric-making among the machinery. There was scarcely a loom in any factory that I entered but had a banged forehead and a pair of bright eyes behind It ; a casual glance would Impress you that she thought of naught else in this world but her reels , her threads , her sliufllcsor her loom ; but a figure passes in between the humming machinery , and she does not miss seeing him too. She will como to work demurely in the morning ns a young nun , and she will trip out at lunch without a word , going , perhaps , arm in arm with her "lady friend , " but in the evening when the wheels and hhulllles cea o their clatter , you will find that she has her tryst right at the very door of the mill ; and how proud and happy the young operator scorns as ho walks away with her to wards her home ! There is a strong kind of the highest pride among these young women. They bellovo that no occupation on earth Is superior to theirs ; their personal con duct is the highest , and they delight in the good tiaino of all their compan ions. It would not do to employ slovenly , dirty , or careless persons in these mills. The most costlv fabrics nro works of their hands , nnd broken threads , the smirch made by a gown or uncleanly lingers , would bo a , serious damage to the fabric. Curing n Had Jltiabnnu. A woman , whom her husband used frequently to scold , went to a cunning man to inquire how she might euro him of his barbarity , Pays the Chicago Herald. The 'sagacious soothsayer heard her complaint , and , after pro nouncing some hard words and using various gesticulations while ho filled a vial with colored liquid , desired her , whenever her husband was inn p\sslon : , to take a mouthful of the liquid and keep it in her mouth for live minutes. The woman , quite overjoyed at so sim ple a remedy , strictly followed the coun- bol which was given her , and by her ! lenco escaped the usual annoyance. The contents of the bottle being 'at last ex pended , she returned to the cunning man and anxiously bogged to have another possessed of the sanio virtue. "Daughter , " snitl the man , "thero was nothing in the bottle but brown su < rar and water. When your husband is in a passion hold your tongue , nnd , my life on it , ho will not scold in fu ture. " An ICiniirrnsVlio Has an Altai. The mvstory with which the Kmprcss of Austria chose to surround herself durlmr her stay in Paris had the effect of exciting rather than allaying the curiosity of the Parisians. It was far more interesting to have the chance of meeting the sovereign alone nnd on , foot than to eeo her dashing along in ono of thq.ombassy carriages , says a Paris let ter , Mnny a lady in iioep mourning weeds was scrutinized by the passing obx-erver seeking to discover if the features shrouded in the long crape veil were these of Empress Elizabeth , whoso reputation for beauty , joined to a most clodded dlstato for popularity , has alwnys rendered her nn object of peculiar - liar Intcrjst. The journals announced thnt she not only frequently walked out. but also that she did so en tirely unaccompanied ; nnd more over , that when she left town she started on foot from the hotel , her carriage having been ordered to wait her in the Hue do Castlgllone , thus outwitting the most eager curiosity. It is reported that no ono at the embassy w.as advised of her arrival. Count Zlchy , who acts as charge d'affaires In the absence otConito Hoyos , only heard of it through the pa pers nnd was not admitted to an audi ence ; nor was the embassador himself who eatno back to Paris on learning the news' more fortunute. As a further precaution against the indiscretion of the public , the appart merits at Bordeaux were secured for n "Miss Simpson. " The empress only Hpont ono night In this town , and proceeded the next mornlntr to Arcachon , putting up a the Grand Hotel there. M.

Lady Macdonald , wife of Sir John of Canadian fame , is'a remarkable woman , says the Illustrated American. The daughter of a West Indian merchant. Miss Bernard left Jamaica as-a girl , nnd was educated In England. At her fath er's old homo she met the distinguished barrister , who was created a baronet the year after his marriage with the younp southerner. All unused to responsibil ity and court etiquette Lady Macdonald accompanied her husband to the prov inces , and by her wit , kindliness and tact soon established herself as the ac knowledged head of Dominion society. Since her advent into Canadian circles her inlluence has been an unquestioned force. She is a thorough politician , has an extensive acquaintance In this coun try andKncrland. | and by many is thought to'bo the power behind the throne in the Macdonnld household. Water Lily Soao Five Cents A Cake AN EXCITING MON IIUXT. A. BlCoucnr Invades the City of Seattle and Is Killed. It is not every city in the United States that can boast of wild and woolly lion hunting right in the principal streets of the place , says the Seattle Journal. Seattle can say as much. The other morning the people in the vicinity of Sixth and Pike street turned out and joined In the excitement of a genuine hunt after a wild lion , which was wan dering around the neighborhood. About 9 o'clock ' , as Judge Wood was crossing the vacant loton the north side of Pine street , between Fourth nnd Filth streets , ho noticed an immense mountain lion trotting along leisurely across the lot. Ho watched it as it walked through the yard of the Euro pean house and disappeared in the Ken tucky stables. The appearance of the wild beast of the forest caused a big commotion among the horses. The uproar brought ono of the men down to see what the excite ment was about. Ho saw the lion quietly taking in the situation. He hurried up stairs , and caused a stampede with bis report. Mr. Bishop , owner of the stables , hurried to get his rifle , while the men cautiously took a look at the brute. He was trying to catch a chicken which wns In the stable , and succeeded in killing one. Ha soon found out that the men were watching him , and ho mado'a dive through the window. ! Mr. Bishop came up just as the anllnal sprang and ho fired a shot at him , catching1 him in the hips as they disappeared through the window. The lion gave a howl of pain and leaped to the sidewalk , ten feet above , and started down Sixth street toward Pike on a dead run , screeching-and yelp ing with all its might. People rushed from their houses to see what was the matter. Pedestrians.scattered in every direction and gave the beast a clear track. Mr. Munsen , the photographer , was out in the street adjusting his camera preparatory to taking a view of the power house. Ho had the cloth over his head and was deeply Interested in his work when the cougar caino Hying along and ran Ffiuaro into the photog rapher from behind , turning him and Ills camera over in a succession of con fused revolutions. The cougar righted himself and trotted away , gazing at the astonished photographer ns ho sat amid the wreck of his apparatus. On reaching Pine street the cougar jumped the fence into Dr. A. P. Colo's yard nnd crouched down on the ground. Several children were on the porch , but were too frightened to move. The lion made a spring for thorn , but was weak from loss of blood and fell short , At this point Eugene Chapln rushed out of his store , across the street , flour ishing a big 44 six-shooter , and openec up a brisk canonade upon the crouchinp cougar. At the first shot the woundec1 animal faced about and a made a rush for his new enemy , but a good shot from th'j revolver dropped him as he sprang from the fjround. Eugene fired the re main ing shots Into the prostrate form of the cougar and pronounced him dead The dead animal weighed 100 pounds Improbably wandered in from t'ho tim ber some time In the night , and couk not find its way out in daylight.

The Utirlnl of n Confederate Soldier Hrenlls n IJoiiianee of the AVar. There was buried at Greenwood a few days ago a man with a curious history , says the N'ow York Evening Telegram , tie had been a confederate soldier , as jravo as any of his comrades , but ho de serted his army during the war and was tried by court martial'for doing so. Ed ward Cooper was hit < name. For the > ast year ho has boon living at No. 355 Fourth avenue. Ono bleak December morning in 1S03 10 was before a court-martial of the army of northern Virginia. The prls- jner was told to introduce his witnesses. Ele replied : k'I have no witnesses.1 Astonished at the calmness with which ho seemed to tye submitting to his inevitable fate , General Battle said to him : "Have you no defense ? Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy without'CQaton ? " "Thoro was a reason , " replied Cooper , "but it will not avail'ino before a mili tary tribunal. " "Perhaps you are mistaken , " said the general ; " 'you are charged with the highest crime known to military law , and it is your duty to make known the causes that influenced your actions. " A pproachine the president of the court , Cooper presented a letter , saying as ho did so : "There , general , is what did it ! " The letter was ottered as the prisoner's defense. It was in these words : "DEAR EDWAUD Since your connec tion with the confederate army I have been prouder of you than ever before. I would not have you do anything wrong for the world , but before God , Edward , unless vou como home wo must die ! Last night f was aroused by little Eddie cry ing. I called to him and said : 'What is the matter , EddieV Ho replied : 'O , mamma , I am so hungry.1 And Lucy , your darling Lucy. She never com plains. But she grows thinner and thin ner every dny. Before God , Edward , unless you como homo we must die. "Youit MAKY. " Turning to the prisoner General Battle asked : "What did you do when vou received that letter ? " Cooper replied : "I made application for a furlough it was rejected. Again 1 made application , and it was rejected. That nlglit , as I wandered about out- camp thinking about ray home , the wild eyes of Lucy looking up to mo nnd the burning words of Mary sinking into my brain , I was no longer the confederate soldier , but the father of Lucy And the husband of Mary. If every gun in the battery had been fired upon mo I would have passed ihofa lines. When I reached homo Mary flung her arms about my neck and sobbed : ' "Oh , my Edward ! I am EO glad you got your furlough. ' "Sho must have felt the snuddcr , for she turned as pale as death , and catchIng - Ing her breath at every word , she said : "Havo you como without your fur lough ? Go back , Edward , go back I Let mo nnd the children go down to the grave , but for heaven's sake save the honor of our name ! " There was not an officer on that court- martial who did not feel the effect of the prisoner's words , but each in turn pro nounced the verdict guilty. The pro ceedings of the court were reviewed by General Lee , and upon , the record was written : 41 "IlEADQfJAK'TKIlS A. N. V. "The finding of A.ho'court approved. The prisoner is pat ityiied and will report to his company. I- ' H. R. T.v.r. fionornl. " A IjlRlit ill K'rery llerth.

The rijjht dye seoina to hnvo been a difficulty , and the dlfllculty in some cisos seems to have been almost insurmountable. These whoso taste for blonde beauty is incura bly active will have their prejudices so far considered that mahogany color will bo interposed between dirtv yellow nnd the dark brown or darker brown of the future. There Is a blue black which Is nearly as unsatisfactory as the greeny- yellow. On the whole it Is wise to wear natural hair. And so the market has become a little upset. Wo shall not get our chief supplies henceforth from Germany ntul Switzerland. The blonde maidens of Dcutschlnnd will bo allowed to consume their own crops. Dark beauties are to have their turn. As a result the Chi nese have suddenly developed a new commerce. At Marseilles they are now shipping bales of women's hair pent ncross the Pacific. Cathay Is supplying the deficiencies of Europe.

"I don't think that men ought to say any more on the subject of the ladies' big hats in theaters. " remarked a bright girl to her escort as they were proceed ing homeward from a place of entertain ment the other night , says the New York Times. "And your reason is ? ' ' said the escort , interrogatively. "Kecauso the men are responsible for a theater nuisance that is three times as bad , " said the girl with considerable spirit. "You know what I mean , for you saw these rude men who sat next to us walk over me six times tonight. They went out between every act. They stepped on my feet , mussed and soiled my dress , knocked my fan out of my lap and stepped on it , knocked my hat awry , and the worst of it all , each time that they returned they breathed fumes of liquor and tobrcco into my face. I cannot un derstand how so many men that look like gentlemen can behave with such disgusting rudeness in a public place. Popular sentiment ought to suppress this going-out-between-the-aets nuisance before it makes much 'fuss over the ladies' high hats.

Most people know that letters to Canada need bear but " cents postage for each ounce or fraction thereof , but it is less generally known that the same rate applies to letters sent to Mexico which is too often regarded as a "foreign coun- try' " * To Nervous Debilitated Men , ' If you will send us your address wo will send you Dr. Dye's Celebrated Voltaic Belt and Appliances on Irial.

A Glowlnc Picture of Great Southern Possibilities. f n view of the expected visit of five or six hundred of the leading iron and steel makers of Europe to the United States In October , to spend a month studying the iron and steel making resources of this country , Kdward Atkinson of Boston contributed to the Manu facturers' Hecord an elaborate paper on the iron and steel interests of the world. Mr. Atkinson's ' paper is the result of the most elaborate investigation He shows that tbU country Is the greatest consumer of Iron und stocl in ihe world. Owing to the nearness ot the ores nnd co.il in parti of this country , asaguinst the long hauler or transportation of ores from Spain and Africa to Great Britain , and Itio Increased depth nnd heal of the coal mines of England , no believes that iron and steel will bo made In this country nta * low n cost as in England , notwithstanding tbo higher wages in the United States. Mr. Atkinson believes that the world'scon- sumotion of iron and steel , which is now in creasing so rapidly , will for the next tea years fully tax the produi'tlvo powers of this and all other iron-making countries to keep up \vilh It , and hence that while there may bo llucluations , prices on the whole must steadily tend upward throuijhout the world. Basing his estimates on carclul calculations mndo by himself , by Abram S. Hewitt and ho holds that the world's otneri , present pro duction of JW.OOOiWX ) nel tons 0 ( pjj. | roil Of which the United Stales will mauo during 1610 about ten million tons , must within the next ten years , or in 1000 , bo Increased to not less than 44,000.000 tons , even at the lowest possible rate oflncrease based on the rate of growth lhat has continued from lsV ) up to the present tlmo. The calculations are based on the normal rate of growth for the last fitly years and do not tnko inlo consideration the possibility and , In fact , the almost certainty of a t'rcatty increased demand by reason of the opening up of Africa and Asia. The enormous increase In the demand for Iron anil steel will , Mr. Atkinson claims , rc- qulro the utmost effort of production at every point where Iho raw material can bo assem bled at reasonable cost and whcto furnaces can bo operated to advantage cither upon the Kuropean or North American continent. It is in the South , however , that Mr. At- kuisoii believes the world's iron nnil steel production will ccotro , and thU Industrial advance , "may , " ho says , "and probably will settle the race question. " "Supremacy in the production of Iron , " says Mr. Atkinson , "mutt go to tbo point whore the facilities for working Iho inlnca ami the cost of assembling the materials at tbo furnaces arc least , because at that \o\u\ \ \ . the highest wages cabe paid for skilled workmen , accompanied oy the lowest cost of production , which will be duo to such favor- nblo conditions. Ono may not venture yet to nntno the specific place or place * , but sufllco It thnt If ono should stand upon the top of the highest peak among the great Smoky mountain * In the heart of the southern Appalchlan chain nnd cold bring within tits vision all thnt could como within a radltn of scvcnty-ilvo to 100 mile * , be might be nble to establish the center of an iron ami steel production which would not bo far awnv from what has been calico the 'center of gravity' ot the imputa tion of this country. "If ho could then bring within his vision Iho whole configuration of the area inclosed within n circleof l.V tulles In' diameter , cen tering on the great Smoky mountains , ho might trace Hie lines made by the croMon of the river * mul the gnpi in the ranges on which tno rails may belaid to the liorthwcst nt the southern bonier of Ohio nnd to the southeast on the way towards the Atlantic ports of Soulh Carolina , over which the metnl jirodticsd nt Iho possible fuluro center of till' ' Iron production o ( this county may bo dls- tribulcd on Iho cosiest grade * , clllicr for domestic consumption or for thu supply of foreign markets.

I'lntinutn Jewelry is In duncnr of bcfoni'tig a thing of the past , says the Baltimore Amer ican. The amount manufactured this year is Just about one-half of that of lost year. I'tr the last six months the price of tlu > pieclous metal has been rapidly advancing , until now It has made tin advance of OUT < V > per cent of the original price. The demand Is greater than the supply , nud In a short time the priro will bo out of the reach of every Jewelry man ufacturer. The advance is attributed to the lurgonum ber of electrical works now in oi > crattcm Ihrouchout the United States. The amount of platinum used in the manufacture of I'loo- trical apparatus Is ctiorinou * . Kaon elcotric light contains about six Inches of platinum wire , and U the metal Is not pure It will nol slnnd Iho great heat. As the electric light prows more in favor the demand for platinum is grealer. and , unless sotno substitute can be procured , the chances nro that platinum will bo indeed a precious metal. Platinum atprei- cut Is worth $14 an , ounce , gold $ > < ) .70 and sil ver SI.IS. The manufacture of platinum Jow- clrv Is moro expensive than that of any metal The ordinary heat of Iho blow-plpo will not melt It and It has to go through u process which is very expensive , and about ! .
