pending on the thickness and character
of the everything material. This was
originally Identical with the hard ore,
but has suffered a loss of its calcium
carbonate through solution. 1t is con-
sequently richer In iron and poorer In
calcium carbonate. Its content In metal
lie iron runs from 45 to 50 per cent and
in silica from 25 to 80 per cent The
hard ore on the other hand has the adj
vantage of containing almost enough and
at times enough lime to flux the silica
which it contains. 1t carries from
to 40 per cent of metallic iron and from
10 to IS per cent of silica. Soft and hard
ores both average 0.35 per cent of phos
phorus.
The valuable brown or limonite ores
are widespread in Roups valley, from the
vicinity of Bucksvile southwestward to
where the limestone finally disappears be-
low Cretaceous deposits along Big Sandy
creek. The deposits are variable, and it
is characteristic of the brown or limonite
deposits that surface indications rarely
afford a true index to their extent or
value. This is especially noticeable at
the ore banks at Giles, where the active
workings cover, roughly estimated five
or six acres, but the ore does not reach
the surface. To the west of the present
openings five or six test pits fifty to sixty
feet deep have been sunk, in all of which
there is ore about twenty feet below
the surface continuing downward for
from ten to thirty feet, although no ore
whatever shows at the surface.
Two partial analyses of brown ore from
the Edwards ore banks at Giles show me-
tallc iron 1927 per cent and insoluble 1920
per cent, and metallic iron 47.40 per cent
and insoluble 1896 per cent. The average
composition of the cleaned and dried
brown ore OF the state banks-stock house
delivery-is metallic ron 81 per cent;
silica, per cent; alumnia, 375 per cent;
phosphorus 0.40 per cent, and sulphur,

Sir William would have found moro
practical encouragement for his present
"Counterblast" against the use of tobac-
co by boys had he lived at the beginning
of the seventeenth century, for in those
days schoolmasters were generally for

Cigarette smoking, which the expert

that 1t was the name of a kind of Gu

long-billed mosquito to get In its deadly
work"
There Is no pest that compares with
the mosquito, so far as the injury to
captive birds is concerned" said John
Murray, another canary fancier. IT have
never tried the use of oils or other pre-
ventives on the birds, the net over their
cages having met every requirement OF
the case and being the remedy attended
with the least trouble. Whenever birds
begin to droop and die in the summer
without any apparent cause you may rest
assured that the mosquito is getting in
its work, and some remedy must be
promptly applied or 1t will be too late"
George F. Obrecht, who owns one of the
finest lofts of thoroughbred carrier pig
cons in the city, said that the mosquito
suggestion gave satisfactory solution to
a trouble that has for years puzzled own
ers of captive birds in this city.
II have known whole lofts of fine birds
to become puny and to actually drop from
their roosts without being able to assign
any reasonable cause for the trouble The
suggestion of the responsibility Of the
winged insect as the cause is a perfectly
rational answer to the puzzle. have no
doubt in the world that the attacks of the
insects are responsible for the deaths of
scores of pet birds in this city each year.
Young pigeons are, l have no doubt very
susceptible to the poisonous bites"

Washington October 1S-(SpeciaD.
Last year Representative Underwood of
Alabama asked the geological survey to
undertake a number of surveys in Ala
bama one of which, that of the Brook
wood quadrangle, has now been COM
pleted. 1t gives the character of some of
the ores of the state, well as their
distribution.
In 1905 Alabama supplied 37s2,S31 long
tons of ore of which 2,974, 413 tons were
red hematlte Isl, 561 tons brown hema-
tite, and 26,s57 magnetic, giving the state
in these classes third, first, and sixth
positions, respectively. The increase over
the 1904 total of 3l699,Ss1 tons was $3.50
tons, or 2 per cent.
The Brookwood quadrangle is west of
the Bessemer quadrangle, in which min
ing of the red hematite ore has assumed
extensive proportions.
This report states that the red ore, or
hematite, occurs in minable quantities TO
the east and northeast of the Brookwood
quadrangle in the East Red mountain
ridge and in West Red mountain. The
ore in regular stratified beds forms
part of the lockwood formation, which
is of Siurian age, and has been desig-
mated by the Alabama geological survey
the Red Mountain or Clinton The forma-
tion Is variable in thickness in the quad
rangle, but averages about $50 feet The
ore occurs near the middle of the for
nation, and where exploited is in from
one to five seams, which vary in thick
ness from a few inches to thirty feet
Just beyond the border OF the quad
rangle, along East Red mountain, from
Birmingham to Bessemer, is a practically
continuous stretch of mines and strip
pings on the outerop of the ore, about
fifteen miles in length, constituting the
most extensive development of the Clint
on ore that is known. The lockwood
mountain formation has been traced into
the Brockwood quadrangle in strike with
West Red mountain, near Bessemer 1t
extends parallel to and less than one
mile south of Rock mountain. and is
practically continuous from Valley creek
TO a point about one mile northeast OF
Bibbville.
The red hematite ores are divided into
two classes--the soft ores containing lit
tie calcium carbonate, and the hard ores.
which contain from - to 20 per cent Of
calcium carbonate. The soft ores. usually
ground for 200 to 800 feet on the dip, de-

MOSQUITOES KILL PET BIRDS.
They Are Deadly Enemies of canaries
and Pigeons.

From the Baltimore American
That scores of canaries, pigeons and
other birds in captivity in this city are
the victims of the merciless attacks of
mosquitoes during the summer months is
the opinion of many bird fanciers and
those in a position to know. 1t is insisted
by the owners of feathered pets that great
numbers of birds become weakened and
die from the effects of having the life
blood sucked from their bodies by the in
sects at night.
1T would be difficult to estimate the
number of feathered pets which each year
die in this city from the nightly attacks
of MOSQUITOES" said James A. Graham,
a canary fancier.
II noticed several years ago that the
legs of my pets were swollen and the
skin cracked and sore Some of the birds
had died from some cause that puzzled not
only me, but some of the best-posted bird
men in the city. All kinds of remedies
were tried but the birds continued TO
shrink and drop from their perches dead
L at once set to work to remedy the
trouble The cages were covered with
net each night to keep the pests out,
and as an extra precaution the legs of the
birds were dipped in pennyroyal, red cedar
and other oils that are known to be OBJ
jectionable to the mosquito The effect
was really magical. In less than week
the birds began to sing, were active ana
began to show signs of renewed health.
My cages are now covered and will re-
main so until the last mosquito has taken
its departure"
Mr.. Graham was asked if he thought the
insects could bite through the feathers
of the canary.

'It is a well-known fact that all birds
when asleep during the hot weather open
their feathers to all the free circulation
of the air. This makes 1t easy for the
