N WIN FOR GRIFFS. Washingtons are making a much better showing than in former campaigns and there's big reason. ‘lark Griffith say that the succes: of his m is due to a small pite ing staff. He is placing the entire bur- den on the shoulders of Walter John- Harper, Shaw and Ayer: These boxmen are working in rotation and each enjoys a r of three day be- tween games. Griff sensibly argues that it is not a hardship to pitch at least two games a weck and that none of his hurlers has heen overtaxed. Griff's ideas are not new. He has gone back to first principles and is getting results. The Old Fox once a first class pitcher and knows much of a strain can each of his hurlers.

The man invasion of Russia zave the enemy the opportunity of replenishing his stocks of platinum, to the detriment of the Alli Mining in Russia virtually has ce: d now, even if the metal could be shipped out of the country, and the world looks to Columbia for platinum. Suggestions for a government monopoly of plat- inum have been advanced in the Columbian congress, Whatever action is taken, the fortunes of war will mean wealth for the southern repub- lic. One of the of the war was the concentration of 20,000 ounces of platinum in Russia by a young American mining en- gineer, attached to the embassy there, who recognized the importance of ob- taining the metal. Rach preciou brick, wrapped in a leather cover, was brought half way across the world to the United States and turned over to the government for facture of sulphurfc acid, a constit- uent of explosives, for the manufac- ture of contact points in electrical ap- paratus and other uses ssary to war. An interesting h of plat- inum is given by the Latin-American division of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Platinum was discovered in now Colombia in 1735 by a named Don Antonio de Ulloa, companied a Krench scientific expedi- tion, and his account of it was the first information regarding the to be brought to the attention of Europeans. Its stibility to acids and the difficulty of working it were remarked upon, but it was not con- sidered to be nearly as precious as Zold, and was used at times by coun- terfeiters as a basis for coins. It was until the middle of the nineteenth century that the demand for platinum for use in chemical laboratories and for electrical uses brought its value up to the point where it ranked as one of the most precious metals.

One man tore down his store in order to get at beneath, and found so much platinum that he was enabled to Tebuild and make an extra $4,000 for his trouble. Platinum is recovered principally from the beds of streams, the particles having been deposited there through erosion of large rocks, classified geo- logically as “Tartiary conglomerates.” The platinum grains are found with gold, the proportion varying from 5 to 50 per cent of platinum. The two metals are recovered by washing the sand and gravel of streams. The marked rise in the price of platinum in the last two or three years has considerably stimulated mining ac- tivities in Calombia, especially on the part of the native miners. Present imports of Columbian plat- inum by the Unired States represents almost the total visible exports of that country.

The War Depaftment] makes all appointments to such po. sitions at not less than $1,100 a year, and agrees to promote to $1,200 vear after three months’ satisfactory] service. Appointments at salarie higher than $1,200 a year are rarey and the appointees must possess ex- ceptional qualifications.
