A LOCAL INVENTION.
SUBSTITUTE FOR PLATINUM. A wire was recently fashioned from the white metal extracted from Taranaki ironsand by two New Plymouth inventors and used in connection with a wireless plant in Wellington. Word has just been received by the local syndicate controlling the invention that the wire has given far better results than the usual platinum wire. The metal has also been used in place of platinum on motor cam and on electrical contrivances of various kinds, and in every case has proved a great success. The metal can he cheaply produced, and if it can be used in place of platinum (which is three times the value of gold), there are big things ahead for the invention and those associated with it.
