MALADIES OF METALS.
Curious Contagious Disease That At
tacl<s Tin, Brass and Lead.

Curious Contagious Disease That At
tacks Tin, Brass and Lead.
The alleged contagious diseases of
metals is a topic that has been men
toned from time to time, but shall be
mentioned again because 1t tends to
promote uniformity in our views of
mineral life and other kinds of life
and to discredit the fashion Of regard
ing anything in nature as dead and
inert.
In a lecture before the Societe de
Chimie Physique at Paris a professor
spoke OF the fact that tin when ex-
posed to a temperature below the
freezing point Of mercury shows a
kind of eruption of pustules in which
the metal loses its ordinary shining
surface, becomes gray and on being
cut with a saw either falls to powder
or breaks up into a bundle of fibers.
This affection is capable of being COM
municated by contact, for the applica-
tion of few grains of the powder to
the surface of a block Of perfectly
sound tin brings about its transforma-
ton in a few days.
In another transmittable disease of
tin the structure Of the metal is chang
ed and becomes crystalline. This dis
ease has a special tendency to attack
joints which have been soldered, but
it attacks brass and lead as well.
Metals do seem more alive and or
ganized than the earthly minerals

New York, March 15.-An extra div

the regular quarterly disbursement of
two per cent was paid today to stock
holders of the e. I. DUPONT de Ne

During the last year the gross earn

New York, March Sin the crimi-

examination Of talesmen was resumed
today. in an effort to get jury for the
second trial of Isaac Harris and Max
Blanck, owners of the Triangle Waist
Company, in whose factory 147 people
lost their lives in the fire of March 25
last. At the first trial the accused
men were acquitted.
There are six indictments still
standing against Harris and Blanck,
charging them with manslaughter in
the first and second degrees. When a
jury has been secured, Justice Sea
bury and the jurors will hear the argu-
ment of Max D. Steur, counsel for the
waist manufacturers, on the question
as to whether second leopard for the
same offense arises in the cases of
his clients since they were tried and
acquitted of charge similar to the
six remaining against them, the only
difference In the wording of the indict-
ments being in the name of the person
killed. Assistant District Attorney
Charles F. Bostwick will oppose Attor-
ney Steur and will argue that second
jeopardy does not apply in this case.

LOW RATES MADE FOR

sress to be held in this city April 1913
when many questions of vital import

ton of the 75,000,000 acres of the
waste and wet lands throughout the
nited States will be given earnest
consideration, will have an opportuni-
ty to take advantage of a one rate
fare plus - cents Announcement to
this effect has just been made by
Jospeh Richardson, chairman of the
South Eastern Passenger Association.
The special tariff for the second Ma
tional Drainage Congress, provides
that tickets be sold April I, SO and
for trains scheduled to arrive in New
Orleans on or before noon of April
10. The tariff fixes April 25 as the
original return limit which may be
extended to May 6, upon payment of
81 10 to the Joint agent, provided the
deposit is made on or before April

These rates are one fare for the
round trip from Ohio and Potomac
river points, and three cents per mile
one way distance plus 25 cents from
the nearer points.
The tariff of the South Eastern Pas
senger Association is the same as that
granted by the association for the

to the stockholders will say:
"The officers and directors of the
company have experienced great diff
Guilty in learning in what ways or par
ticulars our operations have violated
or are violating the antitrust law, and,
therefore, it has been difficult to de-

order that we should fully comply

as to the character of final decree
has been elaborated for submission to

The report further shows that forty

why the lawmakers decided, in the
adoption of the new plan, to substi-
tute the commissioner of agriculture
for the Governor has not been explain
ed.
However, Mr.. McLaurin, of Warren,
believes that he hit rather close to
the mark when he declared that "the
purpose of this bill is to give Commits
sioner Charley Smith complete control
of the prison board" For the past
four or five years there has been an
almost continuous feud between Mr..
Smith and his two colleagues, Messrs.
Montgomery and Taylor. Under the
new regime Mr.. Smith will be aligned
with his political friends and can
doubtless carry out the plans he has
formulated for the management OF
prison AFFAIRS.
