Marine Fossils in Sand.


Jersey southwark. 1t is not unusual to
find quantities of sharks teeth and other
marine fossils in the green sands that
are now located far inland and are used
for fertilizers. In certain sections of the
southern Mississippi valley where lime
stone is not readily accessible a farmer
will go out and gather a wagon load of
fossil oyster shells to burn for lime. The
hark-bearing rocks of New Jersey and
the oyster beds of Tennessee are Of the
same general age and represent one of
the later of the great invasions of the
ocean on the North American continent
In geologic parlance these rocks are said
to be of cretaceous age.
In the course of its investigations of
the geology of the country the United
States geological survey has been making
eastern states and has found that the
ocean of that time covered much of what
Is now the Atlantic coastal plain, while
the Gulf of Mexico spread widely over
the central southern states. probably
reaching as far north as Cairo, Ill. The
Ohio was then a longer and older river
than the Mississippi. Some of the sedi-
ments of this age, now hardened into
rocks, were deposited In a shallow sea,
some perhaps in the flood plains of the
rivers themselves. All these different
types of sediments as found in the east
ern gulf region, are described in the
United States geological surveys pro-
fessional paper 81, by L. w. Stephenson.
In another portion of the paper is a dis
cussion of certain oysterlike shells found
in these cretaceous rocks. all the known
species being described and figured.

WRITER DEMURS TO
CLERKS STATEMENTS
Takes Issue With Employe Unable
to Contribute to the Pen
sion Plan.

Taking issue with statements made
by a government clerk in last Satur-
days Star regarding the inability of
an employe earning $1,000 year to
contribute to a pension plan, another
man points out that families earning
less than that amount are putting aside
savings each year. This man has writ
ten the following letter to The Star:

others will think nothing of walking

ordinary government clerk are SO easy

that there would be no extraordinary

Many state banks in Kansas win In

federal reserve association, according
to Information received by Charles n.
Sawyer. state bank commissioner. Let
ters received in the bank commission7
er's office Indicate that many state in
situations are planning to become menu
bers of the association under the new
federal reserve act.
Before state banks can. enter the as
ISOLATION. however, they must carry q
capitalization equal to that required of
national banks That means that MEM
bers of the association must show .
minimum capitalization Of $25.000. while
in towns Of from 5000 to 1900 popula-
ton, the capitalization must equal $780,
coo and be not. less than $4,000 in
towns Of more than &C. 900 population.
A dozen letters received by Sawyer in
the last few days indicate that many
of the larger institutions are planning
to qualify an members OF the reserve
association. 81
Recently Attorney General Dawson
rendered an opinion IN which he said
that state banks could qualify az menu
bers Of the association without q spec
ial provision in the state laws: This
matter does not seem to have been gem

bankers that they can enter the as

BRATTLEBORO JUNK
DEALERS MAY BE
HAILED INTO COURT

Brattleboro, Sept. 2S.-Steps are TO be
taken at once TO prosecute junk dealers
who are said to be knowingly buying
of boy thieves lead and other materials
that are being stolen Systematically from
buildings in Brattleboro,
The boys are said to be very oold about
their work and are finding, It Is claimed,
no difficulty in dsposng or their loot,
They climbed up the fire escape of the
Crosby block the othe- day and cut away
all of the lead flashing about the CHM
news. Vacant tenements have been en-
tered and every bit o. lead pipe and con-
nections cut away.
Some of those who Aave suffered started
activities this morning with the an
nounced intention of having both the
thieves and the receivers of the stolen
property hailed before the court They
claim that If the boys could not readily
dispose of the loot they would not steal
# and that there is no excuse for a
Junk dealer saying that ne does not
know material is stolen when lead is
melted up into a mass to prevent II being
known what shape it was in originally
and is offered him for sale.
