NATURE CHANGES
WATER TO STONES.
Research Council Explains
Phenomenon Observed in
Virginia Brooks.

In small Virginia brooks Nature Is
performing the miracle of transmitting
water into stones.
Explanation of a curious phenomenon
observed in small streams near Lex
ington is advanced in a report just
issued by the Committee on Sedimen-
tation of the National Research Coun-
Gil There are stones on the beds Of
these streams. varying in size from peas
to eggs, which differ from other peb-
bles in that they show no signs Of wear
such as would be the case if they were
the products of other rocks. Their outer
surface is Of calcium carbonate, or
limestone, and they are almost perfect
ly formed.
The phenomenon has just been in
vestigated, the National Research
Council Committee reports, by the Vir-
ginia geologist, Marcellus H. Stow, who
said these stones are found only in
streams draining areas of limestone
rocks, and were absent from brooks
flowing from the Blue Ridge areas of
ancient sandstone dating from before
the beginning life on earth.
Shell of Limestone.
When the pebbles were split open, it
was found there was an outside shell
of limestone about an eighth CT an inch
thick surrounding a sandstone pebble,
a bit of clay, snail shell or a small
twig.
Further investigation showed the
phenomenon was due to the irregularity
of the stream beds over which flowed
the lime-loaded water. Slight irregu-
1arities resulted in increasing the
oxygen content of the water and Shak-
ing 1t, with the result that lime was
liberated and deposited on any small
ing of the pebbles by the stream results
in the lime being deposited evenly over
their surfaces.
The investigation Is OF significance
because it shows pebbles being formed
entirely by mechanical action without
the interference of bacteria or algae
which have the capacity of liberating
mineral elements from water and caus-
ing them to be deposited.
Recovery of Bacteria.
The report also reveals the recovery
from waters off the coast of Florida of
120 strains of bacteria which may play
an important part in building limestone
rocks at the bottom of the sea, and the
keeping of them alive and in normal
condition for more than year. 1t has
been ascertained that all OF them pro-
duce ammonia, which in turn facili-
tates the liberation of lime from water
and its deposition on the bottom.
The National Research Council Com
mittee is endeavoring to determine the
laws by which the surface of the globe
is built up through the formation of
sedimentary rocks. Among the investi-
cations reported are several to deter
mine the laws by which rocks rich in
petroleum are laid down

CHILE REORGAN|zES
ITS SECRET POLICE
Service DemiIitarized and
Placed Under Minister
of Interior.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, January DE
militarization of Chile's famed secret
police, together with the detective divi-
sion, has been effected by the new
government.
For the first tine in years the spot
light of full publicity has been focused
on the activities of this branch of the
national police force, and a thorough
house cleaning is under way.
No longer will the secret service and
the detectives be attached to the
Carabineers. They have been trans
ferred to the ministry of interior, a
move which, the government believes,
will end series OF scandals and once
more make an efficient unit out of the
service.
Cleanup Service.
The "Strong-arrn" methods of the de-
tectives were first put in use during the
Ibanez regime, when so many men were
assigned to political work as spies on
enemies of the dictator.
With the long series of de facto gov
ernments during 1882, the reorganiza-
tion of the service, which had been
started by the Montero constitutional
government, was disrupted, and this
played havoc with the discipline of the
force
Recent crimes. such as the murder
of the editor of a weekly publication
and the discovery of the drowned body
of long missing radical school teacher
caused so much public indignation that
the government acted decisively and Or
dered the service turned inside out
and cleaned up as had never been done
before"
The government made It plain, In
fairness to all members of the detective
force, that each man was regarded as
innocent of any accusations until any
charge might be proved, but at the same
time 1t was emphatieally stated that
the morale Of the service was so low
that only q most vigorous ''purging"
could accomplish anything, and the
minister of interior was given full con-
trel.
Given Doubtful Duties
The temporary regime and the new
government both blamed the long mill
tariZation of the service with many of
the present ills found. It was stated
that the real functions of the force
that of working in a civilian" manner
in the prevention and solution of crime
had been lost sight of because Of
other doubtful" duties assigned the
men by the militarized governments.
Most of the detectives throughout the
nation are regarded as honest, willing
men who have merely been under un-
certain influence. The government be-
lieves that there are few detectives in
South America better than those in
Chile, and that the reorganization will
blot out any black marks and put the
Chilean force once more In its old po-
sition, with the public giving it full CO.
operation and having confidence in it.

SAN BENITO, Tex, Feb. Is
;I.N.SO.-District Attorney D. S.
Purl today announced he had OBJ
tained statements revealing that
the sensational mid-air murder of
Lehman Nelson, pilot, here late
Thursday, was a part of plot to
steal an airplane to be used on an
adventure flight to Yucatan.
Purl announced three young
men confessed their part in the
plot early today following an all
night grilling.
Nelson was shot as he piloted
the plane several hundred feet
above this city. His student-pas-
senger, Erin Mccall, 81, wrecked
the plane as he attempted to land
near the city. Wrecking the plane
disrupted the plans, Purl said,
and as Mccall walked from the
plane he shot and killed himself.
Maps found on McCall's body
gave officers their first clue to the
mystery. According to Purl, the
youths had expected to meet NC
Call at that place, and after dis
posing of the pilots body, take off
on the Southern flight.
A 15-year-old girl gave officers
their tip which led to the arrest
of the SIlSpectS.

Alligator Mips
Diplomats
Finger

M. Louis Michel, secretary
of the Swiss Legation, is today
nursing a finger bitten by a
Florida alligator at a garden
party given yesterday afternoon
in the patio of the Spanish
Embassy.
The alligator - Octavius - is
owned by Nine. de Cardenas,
wife of the Spanish Ambassa-
dor. 1t is a gift of Penn
Turner, Washington clubman.
While Turner was exhibiting
the two-foot amphibian, M.
Michel stopped to admire the
sojourner from Southern wa
ters. He asked:
"WilI he bite?"
Turner smiled, assuringly:
''NO. He will not bite!"
But he did.
1t was, however, as the sec
retary describes it, "Only a
pinch"
