Iron Ores Formed by Bacteria.

Biologists are realizing more fully
as they extend their studies the mag
nitude of the work done by plants and
animals in building up and tearing
down parts of the crust of the earth.
Even microscopic organisms perform
large part of this work. Pasteur
long ago showed US the deadly power,
of bacteria in disease and their eff
cheney in promoting fermentation. but
their influence on the fertility of soils
and their work In expediting rock de-
cay are, still subjects of scientific
study.

Great Salt lake, Utah. The island Is
about twelve acres in extent. and on
