AGRICULTURAL GEOLOGY.
by JOSIAH HOLBROOK.
No. III.--ElEMENrs OF Rocks.


Rocks are the oxides of metals Slick, the
most abundant ingredient in rocks, mountains
and soils is the oxide of -ilicum This oXide con
stitutes nearly one half of the solid matter of our
globe. 1t is the principal element of quartz, in
all its varieties, which are exceedingly numerous.
and some very beautiful. Quartz Is the only min
eral found everywhere. Sand Is pulyerized
quartz Pebbles ARE fragments of quart, round
ed hy attrition. Gunillint Is quartz, breaking
with conehoidal (shell hke) fracture. jasper
is red quartz with n fine compact texture. Anne
thvst is purple quartz frequently found in six
sided cry stalls, which is the common shape of
quartz CRYSTALS in its different varieties. Agate
is clouded quartz in numerous varieties some
of which are much used for watch-seals,
finger rings, breast pins, and other ornaments.
Comedian is quartz of fine texture and of yell
lowish red color. ChalcedonY, blood stone. cats
eve, and many other gems, are varieties of
quartz.
Most, perhaps all, the gems used in the breast
plate of Aaron the lighpriest,were quartz of diff
enttextures, oolors and, hues, The precious
stones presented by the Queen of Sheba TO the
King of Israel were probably quartz. The stones
mentioned in the Book of Revelations, as forming
the streets of the New Jerusalem, with all the
gems referred to- were but varieties of the stones
used for paving our streets, and of the earth
moved by the pillow and the hoe of the farmer and
of the dirt carted for filling our docks.
The coorng matter giving most OF the beau
tiful hues to gems, and an endless variety of
oolors to quartz, is the oxide of iron. The oxide
ofsilicum and the oxide of iron are hence united
in this same most abundant mineral in the
world.
Next to quartz, felspar, clay formed by the
decomposition offelspar, is the most abundant
element of soils. This, too, is composed of sew
era oxides of metals in chemical combination.
felspar is also very extensively united with
quartz in the formation of rock, not by chemical
combinations but mechanical mixture. The fels-
par and quartz can be separated by the hammer.
Not so with the oxygen and sicum, forming 81
lex, Chemical agency alone can separate chem-
cal combinations. Such combinations in rocks,
soils and other mineral bodies, are exceedingly
numerous, complicated, and delicate. The most
common stone that meets the eye in any part of
the world is composed of two oxides. The oxv-
gen and the metals are each united by chemical
affinity, and then the two oxides again COM
bned by the same agency to form common
stone" evidently worthy of more respect that it
commonly receives.
An experiment.: Pour upon a little pearlash in
n tumber some strong vinegar An etfcrvescence
will follow, producing carbone acid. A burning
candle immersed will be extngushed, showing
that carbonc acid is fatal to combustion. Ii is
equally so to life,
