BY G. Frederick Wright, A. M. Ii. D.
STORY OF A LIMESTONE QUARRY.

One Of Prof. Huxley's most interest
ing lectures was entitled ION a Piece
of Chalk" Chalk Is a species Of lime
stone made up mostly Of the shells OF
minute organisms, which appear to
good advantage only under the micro
scope. The northern portion Of France
and the southern shores of England
are wholly made up Of chalk cliffs,
which present Q very striking appear
ance-the old name for England, Al
bion, being derived from word signi-
flying this white appearance. It is
found that in the deep sea dredgings
these minute organisms which consti-
tute the chalk formation are still &C
-cumulating, though at a very slow
rate. Chalk is therefore supposed to
be a deep sea formation.
Rocks of corresponding age in other
portions Of the world are known as
cretaceous, the word being derived
from the Latin word creta, signifying
chalk. These formations occupy q wide
belt In the states west Of the Missouri
river, extending from Texas into Brit
ish America, but there is not very
much true chalk such as we are IA
miliar with in the schoolroom in this
area. The rocks, however, are made
up of a species Of shells, which are
very beautiful and preserve still their
iridescent color.
Another interesting locality where
chalk is found is over the hills Of Pal.
estine-Mount olivet and many Of the
SUBMITS Of mountains further south
IN Palestine, and the hill on which
Nazareth is built, being. Of that age
and consisting, in considerable part,
of pure chalk.
The chalk formations lie in about
the middle of the geological horizon
and are several million years old.

Among the limestones Of great in.
terest are the various forms Of mar.
BILE which have been sought for the
world over for their beauty of color
and their fineness Of texture. These
marbles mostly belong to the very
oldest geological formations, and ap.
pear in close proximity to granite
rocks, where they have evidently been
subjected to heat and great pressure,
as they were buried deeply in the
earth and transformed or metamor-
phosed into their present shape. The
usual color of marble is white, but
they are often variegated with almost
every beautiful color derived from
mineral ingredients, especially iron
and copper, giving them a red or
green or yellow cast.
There are also extensive deposits
of lime which are not dependent upon
the action of animal life, but are
chemically deposited, especially in the
vicinity Of springs whose water is
overcharged with carbonate of lime in
solution. AS this water trickles down
from the roofs Of caverns and falls
upon the bottom, the evaporation
leaves a certain amount, which ar
ranges itself in the form Of stalactites
at the top and stalagmites at the bot.
tom Of the cavern, the material being
arranged in layers, which are often
somewhat variegated In color and
from objects Of great beauty.

But, as already said, the main
source Of limestone is shells Of ami.
mails living in the sea. The material
Is brought to them by the rivers which
come down from the continents
charged with carbonate Of lime in so
luton, the animals being so consti-
tuted that they can collect this from
the water which surrounds them,
much as the leaves Of the trees collect
the carbon from the atmosphere and
convert It into solid chunks Of wood.
Thus these forms of animal life
serve q double purpose, Of cleansing
the waters from their impurities, and
Of depositing beneath the ocean bed
the solid rocks which. upon elevation.
become the framework Of the CONT
nents, and furnish man with many of
the things most necessary to supply
bic wants.

DYNAMITE UNDER BRIDGE
Investigating attempt to Bloc Up

in effort 10 blow down one of the bridges over
the tracks Of the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad at 156th street and Whitlock and
Garrison avenues. The Bronx stick of dynamite
was placed at one of the concrete bases shortly
after midnight yesterday and set of. The damage
done. according to the officials of the construction
company. can be repaired for about SO.
The officers OF the National Erectors Association
OF which the Fittsburg Construction Company is a
member. said that the association was conducting
a secret inquiry into the explosion The Pittsburg
Construction Company is open shop concern
and. while 1t has had strikes for some time. this
fact may have excited the enmity OF some members
Of the union. The employers say that II would not
be fair TO jump at the conclusion that union man
placed the dynamite. but they say that outsiders
in other trades would not be likely to be interest
ed enough TO attempt TO dynamite the bridge.
Walter Drew. of the association, said last evening
that a clew had been found TO the perpetrator
There have been frequent attempts TO dynamite
bridges since the open shop was declared against
the structural iron workers." he said They died
out for a while but this looks like renewal of
them. None OF these outrages attempted be-
fore the declaration Of the open shop"
