ANCIENT COPPER MINE.

Deposits Found by Phoenicians Near
Gibraltar 5000 Years Ago.
The most ancient copper. mine in THE
world is the Rio Tinto, in Spain. Three
thousand years ago the Phenicians
found just beyond Gibraltar extensive
deposits Of copper ore, says the New
York Times. Copper was one of the
most desired metals of those days, and
the Ph9nicians, skillful artificers, set
to extracting it. When their sea trade
was usurped by Carthaginians several
centuries later ore from the mine was
carried to the various ancient trad
ing ports. When Carthage fell, the
Romans took possession and worked
the Rio Tinto for centuries. Then
came Goths, and later Moors, digging
more gold out of the Iberian noun
tain side.
When Ferdinand and Isabella drove
the Moors out, Of Spain the crown took
possession of the Rio Tinto mine and
leased it from time to time to adven-
turers from various countries of Eu-
rope; in the seventeenth century 1t
was leased to a Swede and later to a
F~renchman; in the eighteenth century

to a company of Englishmen. During
the French invasion the mine was
abandoned to be ~reopened by the crown
about 100 years ago. In 1873 English
bankers offered a good round price,
and the Spanish government turned
the property over to them; a public
company was formed and the shares
offered investors. The yearly output
was enormously increased. and since
the English took possession some $780,
900, 900 worth of copper has been
mined. In 1906 and 1907 dividends Of
$40, GOO, 900 were declared, the largest
ever paid by any copper mine in the
world. The steam shovel has added
generations to the life of Rio Tinto.

A WOMAN'S POWER.
She Does Much to Overcome Handicap
of Morganatic Marriage.


The resignation of Mgr. Marschall,
who has virtually been archbishop Of the
diocese of Vienna, Austria, and the APP
pointment i'll his place of Father Angus
tine, Il Benedictine monk, has aroused
gossip among the Viennese. The change
vas brought about by Duchess Sophie
of Hohenberg, consort of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, heir presumptive to
the. throne of Austria-Hungary.
Nearly ten years ago Countess Sophie
Chotek, an impoverished diplomats
daughter, who had been governess in
several noble families, married the arch
duke morganatically, almost clandestine-
ly, at Reichstadt, Bohemia. Two sons
have blessed their l%eft-handed union,
Prince Macmillan Charles, born Sep
TENDER 9, 1902, and Prince Ernest, born
May ~, 1904. Since the moment Maxi.
milan saw the light not a day h;s
passed but his fond and brainy moth er
has spun some thread of intrigue to re-
habilitate him and his younger brother
and to place them in the line of success
sion to the Austro-H Hungarian crown. 1t
would seem that she will attain he". pur-
pose. The Emperor, who recently made
the former Countess Chotek duchess OF
Hohenberg, with the title of royal high
ness, gave another extraordinary proof
of his favor by inviting her to che court
Dali Oh euneSuay, giving FER prece-
dence after the archduchess.
Duchess Sophie has never been recog-
nized at court. The archducal families,
the women particularly, are furious that
the Emperor has shown her such consid-
GRAFTON. At the court bells the arch
duchesses are seated on red plush sofas
placed in a semi-circle. Duchess Sophie
was placed at one end o. this sacred ar
ray. The imperial ladies very coldly ig-
nored her and one by one of those seat
ed nearest her went away, leaving So
phie of Hohenberg markedly alone. Per-
ceiving this deliberate boycott, the aged
Emperor arose from his throne, took the
hand of Archduchess Valerie, his grand
daughter, and led ner to Sophie of Ho-
henberg, whom he presented TO Arch
duchess Valerie.
Before Archduke Francis Ferdinand,
one of the wealthiest men in Europe,
married the captivating Countess Cho-
tex he had to take a solemn oath on the
gospels that if he became Emperor he
would never raise his wife to the throne
nor place any of the sons which she
might bear him in line. of succession.
When her husband ascends the throne
it is far from unlikely that the restless
Hungarian people will proclaim the
Duchess Sophie their Queen on the
ground that morganatic marriage does
not exist in Magyar Jurisprudence.

Two Deceased Daughters.

A tender bit of sentiment has been re.

by her two beautiful daughters, who died
when they were Ii and II years old. of
consumption. They were the Ladies'
Jacqueline and Alice Montagu. and the
ornaments have been left to Lady Mary
MnntaGu, the S-year-old granddaughter
of the dead duchess. The packet has
been given to the present duchess. who
was Helene Zimmerman of Cincinnati
and will be held inviolate until her little
girl is old enough to appreciate the sig
niiicance of its contents.
The will, in some other respects, has
not been made public, but the sad little
story of the girlish treasures of the two
daughters, whose death left a scar on
the heart. of their mother, has become
known. The packet was opened at Lyle

of her beloved daughters.
The large quantity of Flemish and
Italian lace which the late duchess col
lected. most of which was used as bed
spreads and some of which was inserted
in the tablecloth for royal dinners, was
given to the King and Queen. Only
last summer two long strips of Milanese
lace and a very odd old. Flanders point

remains of the collection is to be divided

A SHARKS BITE.
An Officer in the Philippines Loses a
! Piece of His Leg.


Judge j.. FL. Stewart of Marion, Ga,
has received a letter from his son, Lieut..
James H.. Stewart of the PHILIPPINES
co~nstabulary, in which the lieutenant
tells of being attacked and bitten by a
shark. and that although his leg wound
will heal. he will walk lame for the rest
Of his life. Thu letter contained a clip
ping from q Manila paper, as S0nnGws:
Lieut.. James Fl. Stewart, an excel
lent swimmer. entered the water for a
deep-water swim and when out about
100 meters noticed a shark swimming
parallel with him. He at once turned
for the shore and at the same time
splashed water at the man eater for the
purpose of frightening him off. For a
while the big fin of the fish followed at
the same distance, but suddenly it dis
appeared, and from the rush of water
around him Stewart knew that the fish
was making a circle preparatory to div
ing. Stewart held his breath and stopped
swimming. He began to tread water
and look around him to await the attack
he expected to be made. The shark
arose under him and seized him by the
calf of his leg and again dived to the
depths below, dragging Stewart down.
The teeth of the shark dug deep INTO
the flesh. and for a time ell the leu
tenants struggles were in vain. With
the water strangling him he fought for
life against the big brute. striking it
in the head with his other foot and with
his fists. He finally with a supreme eff
fort tore himself loose. leaving the mus
cles of his leg in the NAV of the shark.
Striking out with all his might he swan
to the surface and headed for the shore.
The shark. satisfied with it's bite of flesh,
did not follow him. On reaching shore
he was in an exhausted condition. He
tore up some of his clothes and bound up
his injured leg as best he could to stay
the flow of blood, and then made for
town to seek such surgical assistance as
might be at hand"

The Peculiar Snail.

The common snail has lungs, heart
and a general circulation, and Is in
every respect an air breathing creature.
This Notwithstanding, he can live on
indefinitely without inhaling the least
atom Of air, that which is usually con-
sidered the essential to existence in all
creatures supplied with lungs.
Leppert says: ITO all organized crea-
lures the removal of oxygen, water,
nourishment and heat causes death to
ensue." When that statement was
made he did not appear to consider the
snail as n among the great host of
organized beings" for the expert
merits made by Prof. Sp~allanzani prove
that any or all the usual life condi-
tons a be removed in it's case with
out terminating its existence or In any
way impair1ng it's functions.
1t is a fact well known that the com
mon land snail retreats into his shell
on the approach of frosty weather in
the fall and that the opening or
mouth Of the shell is hermeticaIly
sealed by a secretion which is of a
silky texture and absolutely fmpervi-
Gus to air and water. In this condi-
ton it is plain that he is deprived of
three out Of. four elements of life
mentioned by Leppert-viz., air. water
and nourishment.

of historical writers, first editions of
Greek and Roman historians, medieval
chronicles in manuscripts of modern his
t~orians, valuable and rare works. and
documents relating to European and
