The introduction of ordinance the last session of the board of and aldermen requiring the Belt Road to viaduct its tracks at Twelfth and Thirty third shows that mistaken to the spirit of the board when predicted that certain physical Instructions the development of Birmingham, which have heretofore stood by suerane would have the earnest attention of municipal legislative body.
 We will add that believe the board will not act hastily advsedy in dealing with problems of this kind but in each will take all the facts into consideration and having reached decision, will stand by it.
 In other words while the board will proceed the prin cpe that Greater Birmingham bigger than interest it and the rights of the people have the prior claim always the clearly defined legal rights of every interest affected will be preserved, compensated.

ANCIENT COPPER MINE.
Deposits Found by PhOenicians Near
Gibraltar 5000 Years Ago.

Deposit. 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 Phenicians, 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 1t from time to time to adven-
turers from various countries Of Eu-
rope; in the seventeenth century it
was leased to a Swede and later to
Frenchman; in the eighteenth century
to 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 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,
100000 worth Of copper has been
mined. In 1906 and 1907 dividends Of
$40 100000 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.
AS the property has been entered
deeper and deeper the ore has become
poorer-rich ores were all extracted
years ago Six years since, when the
owners were puzzling over mining the
low-grade ore at profit, along came
an American with an idea. A few

HEIGHT OF WAVES.
Average 90 Feet, Although "Top
ping Senso of go Are Known.

Average 90 Feet, Although "Top
ping Sens" of go Are Known.
Measurements and estimates from
mariners and observers at sea indi-
cate that the average height of a.. the
waves running in gale in the open
ocean is about twenty feet, but the
height of the individual waves is often
found to vary in the proportion of one
to two, says the Scientific American,
and there is. in fact, in fairly regular
sea not inconsiderable range of size
among the waves. In any statement
that we may make as to the size of
waves in gale on the ocean we should
not neglect the mention OF the larger
waves that occur at fairly frequent in
teryals. These, which may be termed
the ordinary maximum waves, are per-
haps what seamen really refer to when
they state the size of the waves met
with during storm at sea. about
forty feet" is a common estimate Of
the height of the larger waves in a
severe gale on the North Atlantic, and
this estimate is really not incompatible
with recorded average OF a little
more than twenty feet 1t is difficult
to say what may be the greatest height
of the solitary or nearly solitary waves
| that are from time to time reported
by mariners. The casual combination
OF the numerous Independent undula-
tions running on the sea presumably
sometimes produces two or three sue
ceeding ridges or two or three neigh
boring domes of water of considerably
greater dimensions than those of the
ordinary maximum waves of a storm.
Although these large cumulative waves
may be frequently produced, yet they
will be comparatively seldom observed,
because so small a fraction Of the
oceans surface is at one time under OBJ
servation. There are seemingly relia-
BILE accounts of cases in which these
topping seas" have reached the height
of sixty feet.

Cold weather Skin Troubles.


1t is natural that persons with deli
cate, thin skins should suffer more or
less discomfort in the winter; and
when to delicaS skin is added poor
general circulation, the suffering may
become a serious matter.
Much may be done to reduce this suf-
fering TO a minimum, in the case of
persons who are not obliged to expose
themselves to the elements in all
weather, and even those who are much
exposed may help their condition by
observing a few simple rules.
The greatest annoyance in damp,
cold countries-in England, especially
is the chilblain. In most parts of
America the very cold weather is also
dry, and this particular horror does
not flourish. The hands and feet are
the parts most generally affected by
chilblain, which is a sort of miniature
frost-bite. The intolerable itching
which is associated with it Is one of
the most trying symptoms. 1t often
the skin is broken, and liberation re-
suits. But with the warm and dry
American domicile there need not be
great fear of this particular form of
skin trouble.
Some persons always develop skin
troubles in prolonged spell Of very
cold weather, and all very delicate
skins will suffer from harsh and biting
cold winds. Persons who are subject
to any form of eczema are especially
liable to an attack in cold weather.
There are many simple precautions
which no one Of ordinary intelligence
should neglect. Take, for example,
the simplest form of all cold weather
skin bothers-chapped hands. Many
persons will say, "My hands always
chap dreadfully in cold weather." and
If cross-examined these same people
seem to regard the chapping as an in
evitable condition from which there is
no escape. Let such persons try the
following simple treatment: Never
wash the hands in very cold or very
hot water. Use a simple pure. super
fatted soap, dry very thoroughly, and
apply some emollient-the old-fash-
Toned glycerin and rose water will
often work as we'll as anything. In
some cases it will be better not to use
soap in any form and to substitute
oatmeal The hands should always be
well covered when in the open air
If to this is added proper exercise. in
order that the circulation may be good
there will be no chapped hands.
The same rules apply to the face and
to the skin generally-thorough pro.
lection by the clothing. care in bathing
with the use of an emollient all the
time, and a good general circulation
