A Geological ' History or Kansas.
'In a hi3r0rid.il skeich'of'th Geological
period in which bur 'surface 'deposits were
formed, and after alluding to preceding
events. Prof. G. C. Svvallnv; say : y ,
Subsequently this whole region,
Eastern Kansas and Nebraska, Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, Missouri, and
parts of Kentucky was covered by a vast
fresh water Jake.
Tn this lake was formed or deposited
ihe beds of gray and brown m trl, which
underlie and form the bais of the rich
soils in allthis vast' region, Shell Tub,
auch as weepy our present, waters, lived
in the lake.. Forest of Elm, Sycamore,
Walnut,' Oak, an 1 other trees like those
of our present forests, grew upon the
shores of this lake. The squirrel, deer,
beaver, buffalo, elephant, and .mastodon
lived in the forest upon its borders..
"The history of those times is found
in the petrified wood and shells and
boqes of the trees and animals' of those
days, carefully laid away in the beds or
bluff formation deposited it this lake and
which are from time to time brought to
liuht bv examination of the beds aud
their conten-s.
. "Tho remains brought to light by the
examinations in Pompeii, . Ilerculaneum
and Ninevah, do not tell the hi tory 0
those cities more accurately than.the pet
rified trees and shells and bones exhum
ed from the marls of the bluff formation
tell the history of this lake and its
shores. , r . .
"Bv some chanjres of the succeeding
ages the la!, e 'vas drained away, expos
iij tlie surface nf the earth' somewhat
changed! The marls' deposited ' in th
lake had f'jr the most part covered up the
limeetone . and , sandio!ies an'J shales.
partially filled the depf.'t valleys, ren
dered the slopes more genile,' nnl nioQth'
td up ihe rugtred and precipitious hjil-Mde.-
presenting a contour of surfaces of
valley and hill substantially such as it has
remained ti the present time. .
The streams it is true, have cut their
channels into the surface marls, antl in
so me instances into the solid rocks below,
and the waters have cat ravines and car
ried away some cf the surface material;
but the contour of the surface remains
Mibstaniially as it was left by the waters
of the lakf. Ai a muter of course, a
rank growth of weeds, grass an I trees
sprung up on the rich marls left ly the
receding waters.
"Then was the broad area, once occu
pied by the lake, one unbroken prairie.
Fires av-'ep- ver lhe jurfacs and killed
out the young trees and such other plants
as could not endure the aunual burns.
"Thrts it is een that ihe prairi is the
normal s'ate, and the question, should be
how the forests were fgn:;pd? and not.
what made the prairies ? JJ.it there vere
ravines and wot places which the fire
did not reach, and there the trees grew
apace, and produced the present forests.
Meanwhile the fi.-h and reptiles occupied
the present streams and lakes, end the
animals became the dwellers cf the for
ests and prairies. Animals and plants
died and decomposed, and formed a black
matter which mingled with tho surface
ani formed the soil, the last at;J mo?t
.valuable of the geolojic tl formation.
fhe soil by this process is formed exceed
ingly slow ; btii th) increase l as sure
as it if that anirnais and plants will die
and decay, and the waters fall and run.
and ihe winds blow, ad the animals walk
and di, and thus, mingle the decaying
matter and the Ip.se surface deposit..
