STORY OF A LIME-STONE QUARRY.
One of Prof. Huxley's most Interest
ing lectures was entitled “On a Piece
of Chalk ' f'halk is a species of lime
stone made up mostly of the shells of
minute organisms, which appear to
good advantage only under the micro
scope. The northern portion of France
and the southern shores of England
nr** wholly made up of chalk cliffs,
which present a very striking appear
auce t|ie old name for England, Al
bion, being derived from a word sign!
fying this white appearance It is
found that in the deep sea dredgings
these minute organisms which consti
tute the chalk formation are still ac
cumulating. though at a very slow
rate. Chalk is therefore supposed to
he a deep sea formation.
Rocks of corresponding age in other
portions of the world are known as
cretaceous, the word being derived
from the Latin word rreta, signifying
chalk. These formations occupy a wide
belt In the states west <>f the Missouri
river, extending from Texas into Brit
ish America, but there is not very
much true chalk such as we are fa
miliar with in the schoolroom in this
area. The rocks, however, are made
up of a species of shells, which are
very beautiful and preserve still their
iridescent color.
Another interesting locality where
chalk is found is over the hills of Pal
estine—Mount Olivet and many of the
summits of mountains further south
in Palestine, and the hill on which
Nazareth is built, being of that age
and consisting, in considerable part,
of pure chalk.
The chalk formations He in about
the middle of the geological horizon
and are several million years old.
Coming down to our own line, we
find the process of limestone forma
tion still going on with great rapidity
in certain localities. The peninsula
of Florida illustrates this in the most
striking measure. Sea shells are so
abundant all along the *?ast coast of
Florida that they are washed up upon
the shore in windrows, forming Indeed
the entire shore line, while as one pro
ceeds to the interior of the' state he
finds successive windrows of shells
that have formerly formed the shore
line, showing how the land has grown
by these slow Increments. These
shells as they arc* rolled by the water
are broken up and much of them
ground Into fine powder, when they,
all together, become cemented into a
loose roc k The buildings of that re
gion especially the old fort at St.
Augustine are constructed of this
rock, known as coquina.
Among the most interesting lime
stone strata of the earlier ages are
the corniferoti8 ami the Trenton lime
stone, whic h appear in special develop
ment in the islands in the western
part Qt Lake Erie, and in an area
about Cincinnati, though the name
was derive d from Trenton, N. Y ,
where the rocks were first carefully
studied. The cornlferoua and Tren
ton limestones are favorites every
where for burning lime, while the
solid blocks make the most substantial
building material. The great locks at
the* Soo were built of corniferous lime
stone* from Kelley island in Lake
Erie, like Solomon s temple, every
stone being fashioned at the ejuarry
and carried directly to its place in the
great structure, many hundred miles
away.
This limestone Is also sought for
very widely for the flux in smelting
iron, its freedom from impurities giv
ing it special value.
The extent of these deposits over
the United States is very surprising.
While they appear at the'surface at.
comparatively few places, they are
penetrated by deep drill holes almost
everywhere in the Mississippi basin,
and in the Hudson river and Mohawk
valleys.
From what we have already said of
the origin of c halk and of the penin
sula of Florida, it is easy to see that
this extensive limestone stratum over
the Mississippi valley implies in early
geological ages an equally extensive
expanse of ocean, which was slowly
filling up with the sediment in some
places, but with sea shells in others.
The amount of limestone in the
world is enormous, being sufficient to
make a stratum hundreds of feet thick
over almost the whole habitable world
In this there is brought to light a
method of nature to clear the atmos
phere of impurities which is very In
teresting Lime itself, as a mineral, is
a very different substance from the
limestone with which we arc* familiar.
Limestone, as we ordlnariy know it,
is a carbonate of lime; that is, an ele
ment of lime is united to one unit of
carbon and two of oxygen, which
forms the* deadly puson known as car
bonlc* ac id gas All the limestone in
the world, therefore, represents such
an amount of carbonic acid gas with
drawn from the atmosphere, that
should it be all set free, man aud most
land animals would find it impossible
to live In It.
Those familiar with burning lime
must have had their attention < %led
to this fact by the deadly nature of
the gas that settles around the lime
kiln The burning of lime consists in
applying such a degree of heat that
the carbonic acid gas is expelled from
the limestone, leaving a simple form
of lime, which reunites with oxygen
when water is admitted to it. It is
this carbonic acid expelled by boat
which forms the deadly gas of lime ;
kilns, making it dangerous for chil- j
dren or animals to lie down and sleep !
in close proximity to them.
The forms of sea life which have
contributed to build up the starta of
limestone are exceedingly various.
Among the most interesting are the
corals which have contributed to this
result from the earliest times to the
present. Corals are forms of animal
life which are attached to the sea bot
tom—the animal leaving his shell be
low him as he dies, and continuing to
live in the upper story, thereby grad
ually adding to the solid foundation
from which he started.
In the Pacific ocean and Indian
ocean, and indeed in most tropical re
gions, corals are still vigorously at
work building up reefs around the
shallow shores of islands ami conti
nents. in the Pacific ocean these reefs
take upon themselves a circular shape,
oftentimes with deep water upon the
outside, and inclosing a large area of
shallow water within the circle.
A most interesting theory of Dar
win and Dana to account for these
circular reefs or “atols,” as they are
called, is that the coral insect began
to build up his structure in the shal
low water surrounding a mountain
peak when the whole bed of the ocean
was slowly sinking As the coral
could not endure the deeper water be
yond. he continued to build up, with
a perpendicular face outward, while
as the ocean bed sank, the inclosure
between the newly started reef and
the mountain peak would remain free,
because of the sediment washing down
from the mountain, which would in
terfere with tlie growth of the coral.
Thus it Is brought about that in many
cases these circular reefs surround a
body of shallow water, from whose
center a mountain peak arises, while
in other cases the settling of the
ocean bed lias gone so far that the
mountain peak has disappeared and
there is within simply a body of pro
tected water, which makes an excel
lent harbor, if there Is any entrance
to it.
Among the limestones of great in
terest are the various forms of mar
ble which have been sought for the
world over for (heir beauty of color
and their fineness of texture. These
marbles mostly belong to the very
oldest geological formations, ami ap
pear In close proximity to granite
rocks, where they have evidently been
subjected to heat and great pressure,
as they were buried deeply In the
earth and transformed or metamor
phosed into their present shape. The
usual color of marble Is white, but
they are often variegated with almost
every beautiful color derived from
mineral ingredients, especially Iron
and copper, giving them a red or
green or yellow cast.
There are also extensive deposits
of lime which are not dependent upon
the action of animal life, but are
chemically deposited, especially In the
vicinity of springs whose water Is
overcharged with carbonate of lime In
solution As this water trickles down
from the roofs of caverns and falls
upon the bottom, the evaporation
leaves a certain amount, which ar
ranges Itself In the form of stalactites
at the top and stalagmites at the bot
tom of the cavern, the material being
arranged In layers, which are often
somewhat variegated In rolor and
from objects of great beauty.
But, as already said, the main
source of limestone is shells of ani
tuals living In the sea. The material
is brought to them by the rivers which
come down from the continents
charged with carbonate of lime In so
lutlon, the animals being so consti
tuted that they can collect this from
the water which surrounds them,
much as the leaves of the trees collect
the carbon from the atmosphere and
convert it Into solid chunks of wood
Thus these forms of animal life
serve a double purpose, of cleansing
the waters from theh Impurities, and
of depositing beneath the ocean bed
the solid rocks which, upon elevation,
become the framework of the contl
nents, and furnish man with many of
the things most necessary to supply
his wants.

on Many Occasions.
The girl with little money and n
great need for pretty clothes would j
do well well to remember that old but
none the less clever device of using
colored slips over a white gown.
Girls who could not afford both a
class day dress and a commencement j
dress bought a nice white frock ami
wore it or class day over a colored
slip, with colored accessories, and usu
illy flowers to match.
Hy having various slips, of lawn or
silk, a good white frock may be worn
upon an endless number of occasions.
Resides providing a change of cos
tume, the slip actually protects the
gown and helps to keep it fresh.
There are various accessories which
may he had to match; sash, necklace
or pendant, stockings and even shoes,
and, where possible, flowers.

CUIRASS STYLE IS POPULAR
For Young Girls It Is Acknowledged
One of the Most Effective
of the Season.
The cuirass stylo of gown lias
brought about an effective combina
tion of net covered with embroidery
and other materials. One of the popu
lar evening frocks for a girl who has
a good figure is a gracefully fitted
cuirass which extends to the hips, and
a knife-plaited long skirt. The for
mer is made of coarse net covered 1
with a flat embroidery of silk sou
tache. and th latter < I messaline with
a scroll of th. redlining the
top of hem. This lias tight elbow
sleeves fasti .ed with frills of lace
and is cut into a Dutch neck outlined
with a flat band of Valenciennes 'lace
or a tucker of fine white net run with
a colored silk ribbon This frock Is
fastened down the back with lace
buttons.
The original model came out in
linen with the cuirass of coarse net
covered with an Egyptian design of
fine soutache. It ran straight to the
neckband and was finished with a
Dutch collar of baby Irish lace. Tin*
sleeves are long, almost tight-fitting,
and finished with a turnover cuff of
baby Irish.

The general appearance is one of

an official standing to the breed by
establishing a herd book. Animals
of acknowlodged pure blood and ot

to registration for ten years, but since
1890 none have been, or can be, en

The whole number of animals now on
record is about 8.000. At the Pan
American exhibition, Buffalo, out of
ten competing breeds of cattle, the

ATTENTION TO
BREEDING EWES
Proper Care Must Be Given Sheep
at All Times.
It Is a good plan to allow the breed
ing ewes the run of the farm after the
crops are off in the fall, as long as the
ground is bare, so they can pick it
over. Also let them have the run of
the stalk Held until the snow gets too
deep and whenever the ground is bare
Some Good Ones.
In the winter turn them out so they
can get exercise The exercise is of
more benefit than the food they get.
For rough food there is nothing bet
ter than clover hay the sheep never
get tired of it. and corn fodder is next
Timothy or slough hay is very poor
feed for sheep and fhey do not seem
to thrive on it ns well as on clover
hay or corn fodder. He sure to save
some clover tiny until lambing time,
as the ewes will give more milk for
the lambs on clover than anything
else For a grain ration a mixture of
I shelled corn, oats and bran makes an
excellent feed ration. Do not neglect
the bran part, as that keeps the sys
tem in good condition and aids diges
tion. Commence feeding grain to the
ewes in time, so they will not run
down and get poor before lambing
time. A poor ewe cannot take proper
care of lN*r lamb, for she has nothing
to draw on.
If you have comfortable quarters,
so you can take care of the early
lambs. you will find that March lambs
are the best for market or breeding
purposes, as they get more size by
fall and are ready to eat grass when
it. comes, the cheapest feed on the
farm.
I'se a good, pure bred ram on the
flock, as the improvement in quality,
size and feeding capacity of the lambs
will more than repay the extra ex
pense and you are getting a better
flock instead of running them down,
as with a scrub.
Dwarf Apples.
Astrachan apples on dwarf trees
four years old have set so full as to
require half of them to be taken off
and with some trees two-thirds, says
the American Cultivator.
Dwarf trees will require more prun
ing. the fruit to lie thinned and higher
cultivation. They may be protected
against any and all kinds of insect*
and as the fruit is finer In quality, if
the quantity Is less the value the fruit
will command will bring up the aver
age well with standard trees.
There are so many difficulties at
tending the culture of the apple, the
worst being imported insect pests, tba
the business will have to be carried,
on largely by specialist* in the future
The competition of western orchard*
will also be a factor ftt forcing better
methods upon our eastern growers
