The Story OF a Little Piece Of
Chalk.

A little piece of chalk tells an in
teresting history. To the unasSist-
ed eye it looks simply like a very
loose and open kind Of stone, but if
it is ground down so thin that one
can see through it until it is thin
enough to be examined with mag
nifying glass-it will be found to be
made up of very minute granules
embedded in which are innumera-
bic bodies, some smaller and some
larger, bnt on a rough average not
more 'toI q bunirrifh Of an inch
diHmlyt having well defined snap,
and structure A cubic inch Of
some specimens of chalk may con-
tain hundreds of thousands of these
bodies. Each of the rounded bodies
is made up of number Of cham
bers, communicating freely with
one another. These oddly shaped
bodies are of various forms, but one
of the commonest is something
like badly grown raspberry being
formed of number of nearly
globular chambers of different
sizes congregated together. They
are the calcareous shells of Fora
minifera.
The beds of the oceans are COW
cred to a great extent with mud
embedded in which are millions up
on millions of skeletons of Foramin-
ifera-animals of the simplest i'm
aginable description. A foramini-
fer is. in fact, a mere particle of liv-
ing jelly, without defined parts of
any without mouth, nerves,
muscles, or distinct organs, and
manifesting its vitality to ordinary
observation only thrusting out and
retracting from all parts of its sur
face long filaments which serve for
arms and legs. Yet this creature
is capable eff feeding, growing and
multiplying; of separating the small
proportion of carbonate of lime
which is dissolved in sea water; and
of building up that substance into
a skeleton or shell for itself, accord
ing to a pattern which even the
skilled artisan of the present day
would find difficult to initiate.
Some of the Foraminifera are
known to exist only in the greatest
depths; others that float on the sur
face shower the bottom with their
minute shells as death comes. Most
of the Foraminifera of the present
. day are microscopic, but in a few
species the shells attains a diane
ter of an inch or more.
In the study of geology the For
aminifera are of great interest, as
they are found in all the formations
from the oldest to the newest, and
in many places they make up the
chief part of great rock masses. Ex-
amples may be cited in the Chalk
Cliffs of England, the nummulitic
limestones of Egypt and the Siluri-
an beds of Russia.
The United States Geological
Survey has recently published, as
Bulletin 5l3, report on Pliocene
and Pleistocene Foraminifera from
southern California. by Rufus Math-
er Bage, jr. One of the most signi-
ficant facts revealed by the study
of these fossils is that the deposits
are not of tropical or warm-temper-
ate origin but are made up OF
types common in the north Allan,
tic Ocean today; some of the species
correspond to forms that inhabit
both the south Atlantic and south
Pacific. The report, which is tech

Wall of the Pessimist.
Already you hear the dismal wall
of the pessimist who sees nothing
but hard times in Wilson's election
to the presidency. The pessimist
is generally a fellow who never
adds one cent to the productive
capacity of the country. He of all
others should be glad to see a fall
in the abnOrmalIy high price Of liv-
ing because he has TO buy every
thing he eats and wears and has
nothing to sell, But seriously, why
should Mr.. Wilson want low prices
on commodities? He wants to see
prosperous times as.well as other
people and will do all in this power
to have them. But no president
ever lived who could keep away
panics when our capitalists willed
that they should come President
Grant could not avoid a panic.
Neither Hayes. Neither could
Cleveland, Neither could Rose
welt. Harrison had one on hand in
1892, but after he was defeated he
turned his panic over to Cleveland
and made him the scape-goat. 1t
was under Republican laws and
policies that we acquired hundreds
of millionaires, thirty of whom are
powerful enough to bring on a pam
ic inside of a week. If they will it
they can bring on panic under Mr.
Wilson. They did under Roosevelt
and only spared Taft because they
could more easily handle him. We
believe there are Republicans so
narrow and biased that they would
now hail panic with joyous shouts
That is not good citizenship. 1t is
anarchy in disguise. The pessimist
helps to make hard times.-Worth
