PECULIAR BEHAVIOR OF CAST IRON
y peculiar phenomenon has been repeat
edIy noticed with cast iron long submerg
ed in HE sea. A gray, spongy, light mass
is formed, which in several cases when
brought to the surface ignIted spontan-
eousy. Thus, fer instance, cast iron
cannon, raised after fifty years from II
man-ot.war sunk near Carlscrona. were
reduced one third to the mass described
above. After being exposed TO the air for
about fifteen minutes the cannon became
50 hot that they could not be touched, and
the water with which they were moistened
was converted into steam. During a naval
battle between the French and the Eng
lish, in TIE year 1915, an English YES,
sci was sunk off Portsmouth. Thres
hundred years aftefward the bronze ord.
nance Of the man of-war were raised by
divers. In one OF them there was cast
iron ball which, Us soon Gs j: came in
contact with tho air, was heated almost to
redness, and then fell to pieces, which
weighed together only nineteen pounds,
while to Judge from its diameter, the bali
must have weighed originally about thirty
pounds. Modern chemical science would
lind it easy to trace the causes Of pheacm
enon, while bundled years ago some
what violent assumptions were doomed
necessary to account rit. Thus ships
physician has placed the following expa-
nation on record: : "It is probable that
the cannon were sunk in thehoat Of battle
and, therefore, had not sufficient time ia
cool off," Thus the heat must have re-
mained in suspense for long time, which
may account for its promptness in making
itself manifest upon return 10 the outer
world.-Iron Ago.

SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC EDUOA.
TON,

The nominee OF the Baton Rouge Conven-
tion for the important office OF the
Superintendent of Public Education, Ed
win II. Fay, 10 gentleman Of
fine attainments and a graduate OF
Harvard College. Twenty-Five years ago he
was president OF the Homer Female College,
In Claiborne parish, La, and was subsequent
ly president OF the Silliman Female Institute,
at Clinton. In both positions no exhibited an
ability and judgment which won for him the
highest encomiums from all those who were
observers OF his works. and stamped him as
practical educator, a Christian gentleman. a
good citizen and an enthusiastic friend Of the
cause OF education.
Mr.. Fay was the second choice Of the Baton
Rouge Convention OF 1876 for the position of
Superintendent Of Public Education, and was
warmly supported by all the Grange organi-
cations Of the State
In connection with the nomination OF Mr..
Fay, and the announcement that Mr.. Lusher
will become an independent candidate for
this poaition, 1t is gratifying to note the posi-
ton OF the Hon. w III. Goodale. OF East Baton
Rouge, who was the candidate receiving the
next highest vote, and who led Mr.. Lusher.
MIR. Goodale gracefully admits that the
proceedings Of the convention were entirely
regular, and that the delegates exercised their
right to express their choice In an entirely
proper manner He will accord Mr.. Fay his
hearty support, and indorses the nomination
as one which will prove In every way satis-
factory to the people OF Louisiana.
The DEMOCRAT takes tho liberty Of recon-
mending Mr.. Lusher to follow this example
and save himself the further modification
which will attend his overwhelming defeat

RATIFICATION To-N1GHT-RALLY.

The good people Of New Orleans ought
30 see to 1t that the demonstration ut La
fnyette Square tonight 10 made as eloquent
and impressive as tho occasion demands.
This IL practically the first time since 1866
that the white people OF the State have en-
tered upon campaign with the freedom and
sanctity Of tho ballot assured them. II marks
the dawn Of the era Ok restoratiul--the long
era OF peace and prosperity and equal rights
for all which our people have inaugurated
through 10 mach trtbulatlon aud suffering,
and which they have achieved by such unex-
anlpled herolsm and devotion. IT Ia o time Of
special significance and moment, fraught with
innumerable memories and crowned by all
the hopes that free mon value and cherish.
1t will not do to imagine that we can afford
to rest upon tho victory thIs far won and de-
lude ourselves with the belief that no further
effort on our part Ia required. It 10 true that
we have waged splendid battle, and that
fortune thus far has favored us; but We have
still to perfect the triumph by giving force
and permanencc to ouroccupation Of the field.
There Ia no doubt that the Republicans are
preparing for campaign Of unparalleled
vigor and comprehensive scope. We must
prepare to meet them with an unbroken front
and with undiminished energy. The Demo
cratic party has recognized this fact and has
organized q campaign Of corresponding mag
nitudc it remains, therefore, for the people
To manifest their interest In the cause and
their confidence In tho acknowledgements to
whom 1t has boon entrusted, and as New Or
leans will be- looked to to set tho example and
to launch the campaign with oil the ectat OF
her enthusiasm and her encouragement, the
event Of this evening should be made as mo-
mentous and as significant as possible. We
have no doubt 1t will DO and feel sure that we
shall have to chronicle tomorrow the most

and exalted the spirits Of Louisianlans for 10

CHARGES ON COTTON.

| In the Galveston Neus OF the twelfth In
slant we find a communication from mercan
| tile firm OF that city that contains some state
ments In regard to the comparative charges
made on cotton at the cities OF st. Louis, New
Orleans and Galveston, which we think sufi.
GENTLY important to reproduce, In order that
our cotton factors may know what is said OF
us at least, and that Ii the allegations be true
they may take such steps as may be proper
to place us on an equality with Galveston.
We had supposed that the charges on cotton
here had been, by concert Of action on the part
OF our factors and press men, reduced 80 as
to compare favorably with any other port.
The subject Is one Of great interest at this
time, when we are about to make strenuous
endeavor to secure Texas cotton.
The following Is an extract from the article
referred to:
drayage. weighing. ETC., IS cents; total IS cents.
We Offset by storage 20 cents. No DRAYAGE,
and only cents weighing; total % cents !:
against rs cents. shows an advantage over New
Orleans Of At cents per bale. st. Louis charges
40 cents storage and 10 cents weighing, showing
advantage In our favor of % cents, without con-
sidering the extra charges for repairs and re-
handling and annoyance of exacting rules.
Both markets charge from so to IS cents per

35 cents. another SAVING. Our tariff, storage
first month, 20 cents. and each subsequent
month Is cents, and no drdyage compared to
last years press charges would have saved to
shippers, on total receipts. the grand sum Of
1852 900. and compared with this season $112 900 !:
compared with those Of New Orleans, at pres
ent. would save s263 200. and with st. Louis 1928
200. These are all based on immediate sales
and exclusive OF repairs and loss of bands re-
handling and other supe1Jauous charges, phich
do not make beside. Ii cotton is held longer
than thirty days all charge from 25 to 80 cents per
month. ours Is cents. which alone represents an
additional saving OF upward Of $4,000 per
month on the seasons receipts"
The communication, which Is editorially in
dorsed by the Neacs, goes on to show that the
rates OF freight from Galveston to European
ports are on a parity with those Of Charleston,
Savannah and other Atlantic ports, and that
shippers of cotton to Galveston will save
from 60 to 80 cents per bale.
1t Is certain that New Orleans is a vastly
superior market to Galveston, and that ship
pers would realize better results by sending
their cotton here, even If our charges were
higher, but there La no good reason why
charges should be higher, and, on the eve Of
a brisk competition, we cannot afford to have
1t said that Galveston or any other port can
do better than New Orleans.
