The geologist tells the modern builder whether foundation rock will support his structure and advises the engineer on drilling and structural problems. How geology has devel- oped as a practical science, and how it is alding in opening the doors to the world’s supplies of mineral wealth are told by Prof. H. Ries in the following story, one of a series on “What's Going on in the World Today.” BY H. RIES, Professor of Geology, Cornell University, ’\cnpmnm. 1931, by the ‘Associated Press.) | ITHACA, N. Y, June 29.—Geology, instead of being a dry science of dead, | uninteresting rocks, rapidly is coming into everyday life, because of its prac- tical value. "Mere reference to its use- fulness in .engineering and structional work, or ifs assistance in opening the | doors to the world's vast supplies of | mineral wealth, point to this. | As a wealth producer its greatest re- |cent service probably is in locating | petroleum and gas fields. The geologist { has recognized that oil and gas favor { certain geologic structures, and the lo- cation of these is carefully plotted in the field. An interesting sidelight is the investigation of the source rocks and migration of ofl and gas. Oil is not usually found in the rock where it originated, so our problem is to learn what the source rocks are. We are getting data on this from a study of modern marine sediments, determin- ing which types yield the most oily matter. We know that fnost oil is derived from plant material, and a study of certain black shales of New York State shows that some of this rock was de- posited under fresh-water conditions and some under salt-water conditions. We find that more oil ean be distilled out of that portion of the deposit which represents marine, than from that which is fresh-water deposition. We have found, also, that it is probably the very lowest forms of plant life that pro- duce oil. Source Rocks Differ. The source rocks cften appear to be black shales, but all black rocks, even though they contain altered plant ma- terial, are not source rocks. The point is that in some cases plants decay to form coal and in others form ofl. The geolcgist also has found that the oll migrates from fts source bed into the reservoir rock where it is now found, and tHis problem also is being attacked to determine what causes it to migrate and how far it might travel. | As an interesting sidelight it has been | found that if a finely porous rock filled with ofl is next to a more open one filed with water, the latter, because | of its greater adhesive qualities, will in- | vade the light rock and force the oil into the more open one. In general, oil and gas migrate frcm the source rock to the nearest open rock. In engineering work, geology has be- come of great assistance. It has be- come highly fmportant in building dams and reservoirs, since the dam must be | located on a strong, water-tight founda- tion. and the reservoir should not show excessive leakage. These factors all are | controlled by geologic conditions. The construction of the Catskill | Aqueduct from the Catskill Mountains | o New York City called for the solution of many geologic problems. Not the least interesting of these was the cross- {ing of the Hudson River, where the | aqueduct had to pass under the river in {solid_rock. The geologists knew that |the Hudson River had carved a deep gorge when the land stood at & higher level, and that since then there had | this gorge had been “‘drowned.” | Furthermore it might have been deep- Depth Is Determined. We had then a drowned valley partly filled in by soft deposits, and it was | necessary to put down a line of bore- | holes and determine the depth to bed |Tock. This was found to be not less than 900 feet, and the tunnel was car- ried across at a depth of 1,100 feet. Different rocks exhibit differeat de- grees of hardness and soundness, thus affecting tunneling operations. Some can be penetrated rapidly, others but slowly; some require little support, others much. The geologist can make a study of the mountain to be tun- neled through, “construct a geologic cross section and thus determine before- hand, approximately at least, the kind and amount of each rock type to be removed. | ,, Many large structures bear down on the foundation material with tre- mendous pressure. If the latter were not strong enough to bear the weight of the building it would simply slide from under and let the structure down. | Engineers nowadays often make bear- ing tests of the foundation materials. Geology also is useful in locating underground water supplies, for we know quite well the geologic conditions which favor the storage of water under- ground. 1Tts first practical use probably was in endeavoring to locate ores, for it came to be recognized that the accu- mulations of valuable metals in the | earth’s crust were due to now well rec- ognized geologic processes. _— i As the result of the Prince of Wales' Legion book fund, he rccelveil $615,000 to be distributed among war veterans.

Vandals gained entrance yesterday to | Carroll's Laundry, at Fourteenth and R streets southeast, and damaged prop- erty to the ambunt of several hundred dollars, but so far as could be discovered today, did not make away with any. thing. | Bottles of ink were emptied on sta- tionery and other papers, machinery | and stock were damaged. | Similar instances of vandalism were reported recently by the laundry. Po- lice are making efforts to establish the identity of the supposcd youthful van-| dals. It is believed fingerprints may | be found, to materially assist the police | investigation. Science Disease and-Rainfall Appear Closely Related. NFECTIOUS disease outbreaks and rainfall appear to be closely related. according to a report of Dr. J. J. Paquet to the French Acadamie Mede- cin, He studied the disease and weather records of the department of the Oise between 1911 and 1930. He found that the peaks of typhoid fever came a month or two after heavy rainfalls fol- lowing prolonged droughts. This was explained as probably due to too sud den flushing of the wells with rain- | water, thus polluting the drinking sup- ply. Scarlet fever peaks seemed to be coincident with heavy rainfall. The | measles rate rose abruptly every two three years, the increases corresponding with the rainfall peaks Dr. Paquet found that the heaviest incidence of diphtheria was in the Au- tumn and Winter, when the rains were heaviest. His studies also show some relation between wet seasons and the incidence of tuberculosis. T. R. H. | .
