THE ORIGIN OF ROCKS

The geologist divides rocks into
three general classes-igneous rocks.
originating from the molten magma
forced upward from the bowels of the
earth, such as granite and the various
lavas; sedimentary rocks, consisting
OF disintegrated particles \of the ig.
neous rocks which have been reformed
into rocks themselves, such rs sand
stone; and metomorphic rocks. consist
ing of sedimentary rocks whose compo.
sttion has been greatly changed by in.
tense heat, chemical action. Or other
causes, as for instance, a limestone
that has been changed to marble.
Sedimentary rocks, as stated in the
geologic atlas of the United States
geological survey, are usually made
up of layers or beds which can be
easily separated. These layers are
called strata, and rocks deposited in
such layers are termed stratified.
The surface of the earth is not i'm.
movable; over wide regions it very
slowly rises or sinks with reference to
the sea, and shore lines are thereby
changed. As result of upward move.
ment marine sedimenhry rocks may
become part of the land. and most of
our land areas are in fact occupied
by rocks originally deposited as sedi.
ment in the sea.
Sandstone is perhaps the simplest
example of sedimentary rock. OBJ
viously sandstone was once sand. and
again each grain of sand was once
part of some older rock. This sand
was first eroded and then deposited
and either subjected to great pressure
by everything masses perhaps thou
sands of feet thick or cemented to-
gether by chemical solutions. Where
the stone was formed by simple pres
sure it contains a large proportion of
open spaces and thus becomes an ideal
water bearer. Some sandstones will
carry as much as six quarts Of water
to the cubic foot of stone. In other va
rietieS the interstices may have been
filled with cementing material so that
the rock may be for all practical pur-
poses almost as dense as granite

1t is a good time now to study the
water problem, when many sections of
the state are feeling the force of the
old axiom that 'willful waste makes
woeful want" Our rivers a short time
ago were raging torrents and our ar
tesian wells were shooting streams of
pure water skyward, all of which was
allowed to flow on to the sea undis-
turbed. This water, if it had been prop
erly conserved and utilized would now
be giving fertility to the soil and fill
ing our reservoirs. We are So accus-
toned in Texas to depend upon a be-
nificent providence taking care of us
that we regard normal conditions as
a calamity.
