Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-10-16
Mountains Made of Skeletons.


Many of the most imposing mountain
ranges of the globe are largely made
up of limestones composed almost en-
tirely of the hard parts of animals
which once lived in the sea, the most
important of these rock building forms
being of very small size. The solid
earth is, in fact. a colossal graveyard,
and many Of its most imposing eleva-
tioHs are stupendous tombstones.
The chalk making up the white cliffs
TO which England owes her name of
Albion latin, albus, white is chiefly
composed of microscopic shells closely
resembling those now found at the
bottom of the sea. Hills and mountain
ranges largely made of this chalk ex
tend from Britain and France round
the shores, of the Mediterranean and
away into Asia and are largely repre-
scented in other parts of the world.
Even more remarkable is the limestone
of which the pyramids are built.
This is chiefly made up of coin shap-
ed shells (Ihummulites), partly respon-
sible, no doubt, for eastern legends of
magic money The limestone contain
ing them attains a thickness of sever
al thousand feet and is the material of
which many mountain ranges are
largely built. Beginning on the west,
we have the Pyrenees and Alps. fol
lowed by the Carpathians. Caucasus,
mountains of Asia Minor. north Africa
and Baluchistan and, lastly, the Sulei-
man mountains, Himalayas and ranges
in China and Japan.
