There are 40,000 described species

Six Largest Rivers
The Nile. Yangtze, Yenisei, Ama

First Eruption of Mount Etna
Th* first recorded eruption of
Mount Etna was in the Eighth cen
tury B C. Another, occurring in
477 B. C„ is graphically described
In Aeschvlus' "Prometheus Bound "
Lowly Origin of Platinum
When platinum was first discov
ered by Europeans in 1538, it was
thought to be of no value and was
called "platina," which means "lit
tle silver." The metal was found by 1
Spaniards tn what is now Columbia,
South America. These explorers
sent samples home to their king,
who was evidently a thrifty person,
for he conceived the idea that, since
the platinum was found with gold in
the river sands, it might grow into
gold if soaked a while longer in the
water, reports a White Metal News
letter. Therefore, he ordered that
the metal be returned to the river
! toe further treatn>ent.
French Prefer St. Martin
Saint Martin is the most popular
of all French saints, if popularity
may be measured by the number of
cities, villages and churches named
after him, 3,672 churches alone
bear his name, dotting the entire
country.
Early English Pottery
In the Eighteenth century some
of the most charming productions
of the English potteries took the
form of figure studies, such as pas
toral groups, nymphs and shep
herds, courting couples, gallants
and their ladies, historical, mytho
logical and fiction characters, birds,
animals, even cottages with a bit
of green grass and climbing roses
over the porch—all of these realis
tically portrayed in the same ma
terials of which your cups and
•aucers and plates are made.
