Owen was one Of these. He was a

power of his strange brain was only
misdirected, not diminished by the in

soul-deadening force Of the drugs he
used. But he had that weakness Of all

EARTH Bullying NOT DUE
TO GAS OR OIL PRESSURE

Iowa City, Ia, Oct. 20.-There was.
much excitement in southern Iowa
last summer over the bullying up of the
earth beneath the tracks Of the Bur-
lington railroad Many and varying
causes have been assigned in newspa
per articles. One explanation was that
the bullying was due to pressure of an
Prof. George F. Kay, of the University
of Iowa. state geologist. tramped over
200 miles Of the Burlington right Of
way during the latter part Of the sum-
mer investigating the phenomenon. To-
day he issued statement explaining
that the cause of the bullying is simply
the pressure Of the higher ground on
each side Of the track.
III AS a matter Of fact there is nothing
remarkable about such phenomena un-
der conditions such as prevailed in the,
southern part Of Iowa during the past
summer" DR.. Kay says In the state
ment THE material upon which the
track is laid is clay which, during sea-
sons Of average rainfall. is fairly re-
sistant to pressure, but. during an abb
normally wet season such as the sea-
son just past. becomes very plastic
and RESPONDS readily to pressure. The
rising ground is confined to where the
tracks are laid in railroad cuts, some
or which are more than 60 feet deep.
The material in the slopes Of the cuts
is chiefly clay, some parts Of which
are gumbo-like. During the season
lust past these clays have become ex-
tremely wet and soggy, and hence very
heaVy. The vertical pressure on either
side of the track at the base of the
cut Is very great. and accompanying
Lois is lateral thrust which causes
the clay beneath the tracks to rise" Z.
