DECAY Of TIN.
Remarkable Attsfstton Which 1iilss1
Place n the Metal.

q
Anything made Of tin, It seems, Is
doomed to a brief existence. This
metal is subject to 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 fine powder.
The disease is Catching" It infects
or induces the same change in other
masses Of tin in the immediate neigh
borhood. We are told that in 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 1877 arrived at the latter place in
the form Of powder. This alteration is
due to change In the internal crys-
talline structure Of the metal and is
analogous to the slow transformation
Of monoclinic sulphur to rhombic sui
phur. As a result, objects Of tin Of
archaeological interest are rare. Those
that have been found have been in the
form Of earthenware vessels. knobs,
etc., which have been found In the
Swiss lake dwellings coated with tin
foil. Cassiterite or tinstone is the sin
gle ore from which the tin has been
obtained in any quantity.-Knowledge
