BARABOO BLUFF
MADE MILLIONS
Of YEARS AGO

The story written in the rocks of
! the Baraboo region was ably present
ed by DR.. Samuel Weidman, geolOgist,
Madison, at the regular meeting of the
FOrtnightly Literary club at the home
/ Of DR.. and Mrs. G. W. Snyder on Fri
day evening. The home was filled
with members and friends to hear the
long history which has been gathered
through many years by those who
have gone over these hills again and
, again.
/! THREE EPOCHS
The speaker said the geology of the
! region should be divided into three
great epochs:
/. Volcanic and other hard rocks,
such as quartzite iron, shale and dOlO-
mite.
2. Period when the sandstones and
limestones were formed.
3. The glacial epoch and times
since then.
Long ago, DR.. Weidman said, there
was a basin in the sea where BarabOO
and the region is situated and into
this sand was piled nearly mile
deep. Also in the sea deposits were
made which became slate, $50 feet
deep; iron, $50 feet deep, and dolo-
mite, about 1000 feet deep.
This great accumulation made much
pressure, which in turn produced heat
and the rocks were elevated into
mountains, 10000 to $4,000 and posi-
bly, 10000 feet high.
Then came a great period of erosion
when the land was brought down to a
level.
Next the land was submerged and
sandstone 10 to 200 feet thick; lime
stone 200 feet; shale and Niaraga lime
stone 500 to 1000 feet deep were laid
down. This was again uplifted and
much has been eroded. At one time
the bluffs as we see them were entire
ly covered.
The life consisted Of tribolites,
brachiapods, gastropods, corals, and
many others. Fossils are found in the
rocks about Baraboo.
|. Then came the Ice sheet.
AGE OF THE ROCKS
The age Of the earth or Of the oldest
formation as we'll as the more re-
cent ones, are determined in three
ways:
1. Date of deposit of earthly mat
ter
2. Salt in the ocean, there being
none in the beginning.
3. Radio active transformations.
DR. .Weidman thinks the Quartzite
rock about Barab0o is at least one hun
dred billion years old.
On the earth, piling one formation
on the other, the speaker said crust
had been formed "a miles thick on the
fire rocks.
DEVILS LAKE GORGE
Devils lake gorge was cut by river
which began at the top and worked
down. Then it was filled full of sand
stone, washed out again, and partly
refilled by the glacier. A hole was
left for the lake. The coming Of the
glacier was but a recent episode. He
does not think there was a river in
the gorge when the glacier came.
Before Dr.. Weidman opened his ad-
dress, the club enjoyed a musical treat
in the vocal number, "My Bairnie,"
given with graciousness and sympathy
by the hostess. Following this Master
Diehl Snyder, clad in true boy scout
uniform, sang with Mrs. Snyder at the
Baraboo weekly news. [volume] (Baraboo, Wis.) 1912-197?, 1918-02-28
Y. ". CA. MAKES

ness and hear reports. Representa-
tives were present from several near

dies at noon. Others came later, and
great deal of interest and enthusi-
asm were shown in the plans on foot

North Freedom and La Vale. Com
mittees have been lined up and in sew
eral places, including Baraboo, a finan-

ing the number of secretaries and the
amount of money at work in the coun-

young women as we'll.

SERVICE FLAG
At HIGH SCHOOL

The service flag program given at
the high school Friday evening for
the benefit of the Red Cross by the
high school alumni proved a fine sue
cess. A. large number were present
and witnessed a program which con-
sisted of selections given by the Cir
Gus City orchestra, readings by Lyn-
dell Brownell and Thelma Holt, vocal
selections by G. A Melzl, Mrs. J. J.
, Brooks and George Hill, a violin solo
by Mrs. A O. Iverson piano solo by
Margaret Davenport, song by the
girls glee club and presentation Of
| the service flag by George A. Weber,
president of the alumni; A. G. Kings
ford then gave patriotic talk, In the
absence Of F. r. Bentley, who has
been called away. Mr.. Kingsford told
how the school training was a fine dis
cipline for the boys who were in serv-
ice. He spoke on the conservation OF
food and told how 1t took 100000
men out of the usual pursuits of life
to carry on this war. He also said he
thought there would not be many men
killed in this war, and compared the
men lost in the first year of this war
with the Civil War.
The following alumni are in the
service, the number of stars on the
flag totaling 81, two being young Ia
dies:
B. N. Robinson, c. T. Watson, Carl
