Inc sea and Drop Of Water.

A German professor named Meinar

Calculating does not say how
the total evaporation from the surface
OF the ocean and estimating the total
volume of water in the ocean, a drop
OF water entering the ocean will stay
there $3.50 years, provided it awaits
its turn TO be evaporated. However,
the professor admits that the surface
water stands a good chance of getting
ahead OF its turn. The average stay
out of the ocean is only twelve days
before it has fallen in rain and run
back again to the sea.

ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

was troubled with eczema. 1t began
with a sore on the top of the scalp,
broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until it was a large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts OF the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as
quarter of dollar. They would itch
and if scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so | could not sleep. A watery huid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised up it would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
terribly.

probably not half enough in many in- stances, but further indebtedness on our part was incurred as 1t was.
 Last year the Associated Charities spent $27,000, of which s200 is still a debt in caring for 1900 cases, about $10 per annum per case.
 ''To sum up: The Mulga-Palos mine disaster meant fund of $4O,000 to re- lieve the necessities of 66 widows and 137 children, which relief extended over a period of about four years, or S10,- 900 a year for 203 individuals as against the Associated Charities s17,- 900 for 344S. souls. We are now ap- pealing to the board of revenue for an
 immediate donation of $100 and an appropriation of S700 a month
 "Our expenditures last month for groceries, rent. etc, direct relief to the families in our care, totaled $77S65 For the past two years the average for this purpose has ranged from $70( | to $900 per month.

LATEST EQUIPMENT
 FOR NEWEST TRAINS
L. & N. Will Reduce Time Between New Orleans
 and Cincinnati

The most elegantly equipped and the fastest trains in the south will be pro- yided for Birmingham by the manage ment of the Louisville and Nashville when the two new limited trains are placed in service during the next few months. The Louisville and Nashville of ficials contemplate through trains from Cincinnati to New Orleans, which will not carry any day coaches, and which will be entirely vestibuled An extra fare will be charged for passengers using the trains that are to be placed on this fall.
 It is stated that the Louisville and Nashville management cannot at this time make any official statement as to the new service. However. it is learned service will pass through here about g O clock at night for New Orleans and north about o'clock in the afternoon. The new trains will be the last word so far as equipment is concerned. They are expected to carry drawing room sleepers, a buffet club car. observation cars and dining In addition the standard Pulmans will be used The equipment will be all steel
 The completion of the new double track north of Birmingham will enable the trains at very much faster schedule and there will be made quick services from New Orleans to the north. It is stated that plans are being worked out to provide trains from Cincinnati to New Orleans in less than "A hours.
 The local officials of the Louisville and Nashville are awaiting information about the trains with deep interest They are Of the opinion that service will be provided which will be of the very greatest value to this community and will place the Louisville and Nashville in a position to cut deeply Into that business, which Is said to be ready for that line. supplying metropolitan service to travellers in this community. It Is stated that there Is a strong possibility through the Louisville and Nashville of local men getting serv ice to New York for which they have been clamoring for sometime back. It is the opinion here that service to New York from Birmingham Is at present below standard and it is known that plans have been under consideration for some- time to procure more adequate service to the east. The Louisville and Nashville through it's close alliance with the Penn sylvania lines at Cincinnati would make such connections as to give the local men the same service to the metrop- oils. Whether the Louisville and Nash vile has under consideration traffic ar engagements which will warrant any addi- tional eastern service other than it now suples is problematical.
 The announcement sometime ago that the Louisville and Nashville had plans for two additional fast trains from Gin cinnati to New Orleans created interest in local railroad circles. It is stated that other lines are watching the Louis- vile and Nashville developments with eagerness, and it would not be very sur prising to have announcements made from other lines during the next few weeks of additional service for the travellers from this city and this sec- ton.
