BIRMINGHAM'S IRON OUTPUT
Geological Survey Reports on Ores,
Fuel, and Fluxes.
Alabama stands Third Among Iron
Producing States, with
100000 Tons.

The United States Geological Survey has
just published as its bulletin 400 a report
on the iron ores, fuels, and fiuxes of the
Birmingham district. Alabama, by E. F..
Burchard. Charles Butts, and E. c. Eckel.
The term Birmingham district" denotes
the region whose mining industries are
tributary to the blast furnaces grouped
around Birminghaul-a region comprising
a northeast-southeast belt about ten miles
wide and seventy-f1ve miles long.
The report sketches the general geology
of this region. discusses the origin and
geologic relations of the iron ores and de-
scribes the numerous deposits. The meth
DDS of mining and prospecting are also
described In the section on fuels the
available quantity and the composition of
the coklng Goals are discussed. as well as
the methods of col1ing and the character
of the coke. The limestone and dolomites
that are used as fiuxes are also briefly
considered.
Since 1894 Alabama has held third place
among the iron-mining States and In 1909
produced more than 100000 long tons OF
ore. Of this total product the Birming-
ham district produced over 100000 tons.
Practically all this ore is made into pig
iron in the Birmingham district, in which
there are twenty-nine coke furnaces.
The ores, broadly considered, are of two
kinds-red or Clinton ore and brown ore,
Seven-eighths of the ore mined in the dis
trict is red ore. It is estimated that &c.,
100000 tons of the red ore is available for
mining by present methodist supply that
will last more than hundred years.
The report contains 200 pages of text, a
large geologic map of the district. a map
showing its economic features-deposits
of iron ore, COAL and limestone, the mines,
quarries, railroads, blast furnaces. and
steel plants-and other maps and illustra-
lions.

TRAINS RUN BY TELEPHONE.
A Number OF Southern Railroads
Adopting a New system.

The Georgia Railroad viii install with
IN the next few weeks telephone equip
ment for dispatching trains between
Augusta and Atlanta, Ga, distance of
Ill miles. and from Camak, Ga, to
Macon. Ga, a distance of seventy
four miles. There will be TWEEN
ty-eight regular stations and FIVE siding
telephones on the line from Augusta to
Atlanta, and twenty regular stations
from Camak to Macon The Georgia in
stallation is the first one in that sec
ton of the country.
Railroads IN the South have recently
been very active in adopting the tele-
phone method of handling the movement
of trains. The Southern Railroad has
purchased from the Western Electric
Company equipment for the installation
of telephones and solicitors on a portion
of its line, and it is reported that the
equipment Of the other division on this
road will soon follow.
The Chesapeake and Ohio has COM
pleted the installation of similar equip
ment on the Cincinnati division. and ex-
poets to have installed within a short
time equipment for handling train moves
ments by telephone on three of its other
important divisions,
The Norfolk and Western Railway has
equipped a large portion of its line with
telephones, and plans TO cover its entire
system as soon as possible.
The Seaboard Air Line has installed the
telephone on two of its divisions. and
reports that the operation of telephones
for handling train movements is so sat
isfactory that the extension of the serv-
ice is being considered
The Atlantic Coast Line has for some
weeks been handling train movements on
one division by this method and plans
to extend the service on other impor-
tant divisions as soon as construction
work can be completed

EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK
Teachers Raise the Cry in the En-.
pire State.
Many People Sympathize with the
Women Who Are Employed
i'm the Schools.

Once more the cry for more pay has
been raised in New York by the female
teachers in the public schools. These
very unreasonable persons say that when
they do identically the same work that
men do they ought TO receive eduaI pay.
A whole lot of people throughout the
Empire State will sympathize with them
in their claims. There is really no con-
vincing argument against the contention
except the financial one. I'VE can't af-
ford it." A great city which is teaching
its young the great lessons of justice and
fair play can hardly afford to set the
example OF lowering womanhood
In a free-for-aiI foot race where women
and men were admitted there would be
no question about awarding the whole
prize TO the woman in the case if she
happened to win the race And there is
no reason why the woman who does eff
fectuaI work in instilling knowledge into
the minds OF the young should not re-
ceIve just as much as the man who has
been doing the same work, and in many
instances probably not as well as the
woman.
To be sure, the governor has vetoed one
bill which provided for equal pay for
equal work. but if New York shows q
disposition TO be fair and treat its en-
ployes with justice it is hardly probable
the State executive will interfere. II
might be a good idea for the city to use
the money which has been paid to the
fellows with easy jobs toward rewarding
the teachers of the public schools. who
are accomplishing something.
There may be a difference in opinion as
to the desirability of giving the woman
the ballot, but there can be no just
ground for offering a man $500 for doing
certain specific things and a woman only
5000 for doing the same things. and doing
them just as well

CULTIVATE THE PEARL.

Oyster TO His Enrichment.

Oyster to His Enrichment.
The Geological Department of the
United states National Museum has re-
ceived an interesting gift of specimens
showing the culture pearl from the Mkt
motto Pearl Culture Station at Ago Bay,
Japan.
Most superb Of all pearls are those
which are the products of the true pearl
oysters. These are the pearls which have
always been called Oriental pearls. And
so in the Orient more than in any other
part OF the world have the natives tried
to aid nature in producing those most
beautiful of all gems.
In Japan X Mikimoto has succeeded in
producing a culture pearl which is now
placed regularly on the market. About
a dozen miles south Of the famous Shrine
Of Ise is the sheltered Bay of Ago. long
famous for producing the best quality Of
pearls, and there Mr.. Mikimoto has his
station. His process is very simple and
success has rewarded his efforts.
with great care he develops his pearl
oysters and when they are three years
old he introduces into the shell small
pearls or round pieces of nacre which are
TO serve as the nuclei of pearls. The
shells are then put back into the sea and
left undisturbed for at least four years
more. At the end of that time. they are
taken out. and il is found that the animal
has invested the inserted nucleus with
many layers OF nacre and has in fact
produced pearl.
Thus all that is required is care and
time and the clever japanese is wise in
letting nature take its course: for better
than mans knowledge is the wisdom OF
implicit obedience 10 the laws OF nature.
The National Museum has been given
specimens OF the culture pearls and also
of the oyster shells showing the pearl
attached TO the shell which viii be eX-
