Among the most interesting lime
stone strata Of the earlier ages are
the corniferous and the Trenton lime
stone. which appear in special develop
ment in the islands in the western
mart of Lake Erie, and In an. area
about Cincinnati, though the name
was derived from Trenton, N T.
where the rocks were first carefully
studied. The corniferous and Tren-
ton limestones are favOrites every
where for burning lime, while the
solid blocks make the most substantial
building material. The great locks at
the 500 were built of corniferOus Anne
stone from Kelley island in Lake
Erie, like Solomon's temple, every
stone being fashioned at the QusryZ
and carried directly to its place in ene
great structure, many hundred miles
away.
This limestone is also sought for
very widely for the fiux in smelling
Irun, its freedom from impurities CIV
ing 1t special value.
The extent Of these deposits over
the United States is. very surprising.
While they appear at the surface at
comparatively few places. they are
penetrated by deep drill holes almost
everywhere in the Mississippi basin,
and in the Hudson river and Mohawk
valleys.
From what we have already said Of
the origin Of chalk and Of the PENN
sula of Florida, It is easy to see that
this extensive limestone stratum over
the Mississippi valley implies in early
geological ages an equally extensive
expanse of ocean, which was slowly
filling I'D with the sediment in some
places, but with sea shells in others.
The amount Of limestone In the
world is enormous, being sufacient to
make a stratum hundreds Of feet thick
over almost the whole habitable world.
In this there IL brought to light
method of nature to clear the atmos-
phere Of impurities which is very In
teresting. Lime itself, as mineral, is
a very different substance from the
limestone with which we are familiar.
Limestone, as We ordinary know 1t,
Is carbonate Of lime; that is, an ele-
ment of lime Ii united to one unit Of
carbon and two Of oxygen. which
forms the deadly poison known as car
bonic acid gas. All the limestone IN.
the world. therefore, represents such
~ amount Of carbOnic acid gas With

drawn from the atmosphere, that
should It be all set free, man and most
land animals would find 1t impossible
to live in It.
Those familiar with burning lime
must have had their attention called
to this fact by the deadly nature Of
the gas that settles around the lime
kiln. The burning Of lime consists in
applying such q degree Of heat that
the carbonic acid gas is expelled from
the limestone, leaving a simple form
Of lime, which reunites with oxygen
when water Is admitted to 1t. It is
this .carbonic acid expelled by heat
which forms the deadly gas of lime
kilns, making 1t dangerous for chill
dren or animals to lie down and sleep
in close proximity to them.
The forms Of sea life which have
contributed to build up the starta Of
limestone are exceedingly various
Among the most interesting are the
corals which have contributed to this
result from the earliest times to the
present. Corals are forms of animal
life which are attached to the sea bot.
tom-the animal leaving his shell be-
low him as he dies, and continuing to
live in the upper story, thereby grad
ually adding to the solid foundation
from which he started.
In the Pacific ocean and Indian
ocean, and indeed in most tropical re.
gions, corals are still vigorously at
work building up reefs around the
shallow shores of islands and cont.
nents. In the Pacific ocean these reefs
take upon themselves circular shape,
oftentimes with deep water upon the
outside, and inclosing a large area Of
shallow water within the circle.
A most interesting theory of Oar.
win and Dana to account for these
circular reefs or "atols," as they are
called, is that the coral insect began
to build UP his structure in the shall.
low water surrounding a mountain
peak when the whole bed Of the ocean
was slowly sinking. AS the coral
could not endure the deeper water be.
yond, he continued to build up, with
a perpendicular face outward, while
as the ocean bed sank, the Enclosure
between the newly started reef and
the mountain peak would remain free,
because Of the sediment washing down
from the mountain, which would in.
terfere with the growth Of the coral,
Thus 1t is brought about that in many
cases these circular reefs surround
body Of shallow water, from whose
center a mountain peak arises, while
in other cases the settling Of the
ocean bed has gone so far that the
mountain peak has disappeared and
there is within simply a body of pro.
tected water, which makes an excel.
lent harbor, If there is any entrance
to It.

Coming down to our own line, we
find the process Of limestone forma-
ton still going on with great rapidity
in certain localities. The peninsula
Of Florida illustrates this in the most
striking measure. Sea shells are so
abundant all along the east coast Of
Florida that they are washed UP upon
the shore in windows, forming indeed
the entire shore line, while as one pro-
ceeds to the interior of the state he
finds successive windows Of shells
that have formerly formed the shore
line, showing how the land has grown
by these slow increments. These
shells as they are rolled by the water
are broken up and much Of them
ground into fine powder, when they,
all together, become cemented into a
loose rock. The buildings Of that re-
gion-especially the old fort at st.
Augustine-are constructed OF this
rock, known as coQuina.
