Lime in the Ocean.

From Mines and Minerals. -
AS the geologist wades about among the
pools or follows the shore line at low water
he is impressed with the prodigious amount
of lime segregated from the sea water by
the superabundant marine Life exhibited on
all sides. Every pool, every rock. Is teem-
ing with life of some kind and most of
these organisms have secreted a certain
amount Of lime from the sea water to form
their shells or their bones. internal as well
as external. structure Most of the pools
are lined with so-called "sea mosses." more
strictly calcareous fern-like corallines Of
pink or purple hues, the lime secreted by
minute polyps In addition to this there
are many forms of algae, or sea plants,
that secrete lime. Considerable masses Of
a structureless limestone are formed in
the Bay of Naples.
Apart from the vast beds of sea shells we
know to be secreted in the mud and sand.
as well those shells like the abalone
found under the rocks. an enormous
amount of segregated lime is represented
by various forms. of ,cfustacea, particularly
of the worm or annelid family, incased in
tubes of lime. These tubes cover the floors
of caves, while the walls are still more
densely coated with lmpets and rock bar
nacles while in the crevices hundreds of
little crabs crawl about and menace you
with suspicious eyes and formidable claws,
and hermit crabs carrying their whelk shell
home their backs swarm in the pools.
With such teeming superabundance of
lime gat hering life the mining geologist no
longer wonders at the vast amount of lime
stone he meets with in the marine rocks, in
which his blanket veins of lead and silver
are found, as a. Aspen and Leadville, Col,
and throughout the world generally wher-
ever lead abounds. He sees now how it is
that he occasionally finds fossil sea shell
in the limestone walls of his mine. and only
wonders he does not find more. In mines
further east he would find the limestone
composed of nothing but mass of sea
shells. Deposits of comminuted shells and
coral sands thrown up on shore by the
compact rock. or limestone, by the rede-
pcsit Of carbonate Of lime between the
fragments In such way is formed the
shell limestone" of Florida, and doubtless
many of our old fossliferous limestonea
were formed in this way. ..t-
