GcOlogicill Facts.

Some twenty or thirty feet below tho lc-
vel OF the plain around Richmond. Virginia.
occurs enc of the most remarkable deposits
an this country, or in any country. The
place in WHICH we have fovnd it most fully
developed is where the small brook at the
cast end. and on the north side ofClay-strcc.
cmptes into Shocl,oe Creek. On tile bank
OF that brook will he seen stratum from
ten TO fifteen feet thick, which most persons
would call white clay; but Professor w. B.
Rodgers, OF the University. (the State Geo
logist,) has asccrtained that i, is made up al
most entirel y of the skeletons of fanimnleul@
IN tn1uso'1a-,hat is, microscopic animals
These skeletons, consisting of slick: are in
credibly small, so that each cubic inch Of
this infusorial earth contains manv thousand
millions ofthcm! How inconccivablv nu-
merous, therefore, must they be, to form a
deposltc at least ten feet thick and extending
many miles over the adjoining country! 1t,
has excited great interest among the learned
naturalists of Europe as we'll as of our own
country. and hcncetorh none Of them will
visit Richmt nd without searching at once
for this dcpositc. Professor Ehrenberg, of
Prussia, the most eminent of living micros-
copists, has examined specimens from this
place, and discovered at least one hundred
and thirty species Il speak from recollection
only) OF these minutcst of animals in them
10 discover them in this almost impalpablc
dust, requires a powerful microscope and
doubtless, therefore, many who look at spe-
cimens with the naked eye will be very in
credulous as 10 these statements. But they
are considered as established by the scietific
world.
This substance may be distinguished
from ay, by being much lighter when dry
. 1t is not, indeed much heavier than mag
nesia, when pure. In other parts of the
world it is sometimes used for polishing pow
der. From slight trial, Judge that the
Richmond deposie would answer the same
purpose. ~
Beneath the nfusorial depositc is green
ish or blush clay, containing numerous sea-
shells, or rather casts and moulds them,
mith sharks teeth, &c. but these, although
ofdcep interest to gealogists, will not excite
much attention from others.
1t can hardly be doubted that, when this
region was covered with the ocean, the wa.
tors swarmed with microscopic animaIcule,
whose skeletons, as the animals died, drop
. ped to the bottom, and in the course of ages
accumulated prodigiously. But when we
recollect how astonishingIy fast they multi
ply.5we need not suppose many centuries
necessary to produce even this extraordinary
ickness.--C Christian Watcha,0u
