DECAY OF TIN.

remarkable Alteration Which Takes

Anything made Of tin. it seems, is
doomed to q brief existence. This
metal is subject 10 a remarkable kind
of alteration, species Of disease to
which it Is liable. When exposed to
the air tin undergoes no chemical
change. as do iron and copper. which.
Of course. chemically combine with the
oxygen or with water The tin, how
ever, still remains metallic tin. but
gradually becomes gray and dull and
falls to 6ne powder.
The disease is catching" 1t infects
or induces the same change in other
masses of tin in the immediate neigh
borhOod. We are told that in a Rus
sian imperial magazine. in place of tin
uniform buttons. little heaps of powder
were found. A consignment Of Banka
tin sent from Rotterdam to Moscow
In 1871 arrived at the latter place in
the form OF powder. This alteration is
due to a change In the internal crys-
talllne structure of the metal and is
analogous to the slow transformation
OF monoclinic sulphur to rhombic sui
phur AS result. objects Of tin of
archaeological interest are rare. Those
that have been found have been in the

AN ISSUE FOR THE PRIMARY
THIS YEAR.

In abcu. two months the Democrats
of this city will be called upon 10
nominate candidates for the council,
four for the board of aldermen and
eight for the common council. There
ought to be one all important issue
in this primary campaign. and that IS
a business administration of the af-
fairs Of the municipality 1t is 20 be
hoped that before the expiration OF
The terms OF the council to be elected
this year the constitution of Virginia
will have been amended so as to per-
nit cities to establish less unwelldy
forms of government but in the
meantime our council can. If Il viii,
give us a less costly and more effec-
tive administration without waiting
Tor the amendment.
Every candidate who enters the
race fer reelection or election TO the
council should be called upon to state
plainly how he stands on this ques-
ton. And the people should nominate
only men who will promise to do
whatever may be necessary TO reduce
the expense of the city government
and render its force of employees more
effe ctive. without regard TO the per
sonal interests of office holders or
employees CT of persons seeking TO re
one or the other.

"lntellectusl Dishonesty"

The authorities of the University OF
Missouri have inaugurated a crusade
against intellectual dishonesty and
IN furtherance of this movement, ac-
rording to recent reports. they have
forbidden the time -honored custom OF
holding debates among the students
unless every debating contestant
ton to VIII ch ne is assigned. The
time is past, we are assured when stu
dents will be detailed TO argue the
Affirmative" or the negative" SIDE or
a topic regardless of their personal
predictions
The reform business has so run its
course that it has reached the point
where Il is becoming mere or less
ridiculous. II has invaded every nook
end corner of cur ethics, our business
eur social life and our morals. and
hawk eyed reformers are. casting as5c 1t
for something else to lift upon the
wing of the awakening. While there
can be no reasonable objection to
student believing with all his heart In
any side of Il matted brought up for
