‘DIATOMS, MILLIONS
OF YEARS OLD,
Under the name of diatomite, the
tiny skeleton-like remains of microscope water plants” that floated in:
kancient oceans and lakes now being
made to serve mankind in numerious
ways, says the United States Bureau
tof Mines, Department) ty of Commerce.
These small organisms, which have
such interesting posthumous value,
lave found in all kinds of water, quiet
od moving hot or cold, and saline or
fresh. Some of them moOve freely,
jothers attach themselves to various
. objects, but all absorb mineral salts
from the water in which they live.
They make skeletons of silica out of
this mineral matter in much the
same fashion that oysters make shells
out of lime taken from sea water.
Diatoms multiply rapidly, but their
life span is short. After they die the
organic matter decomposes, and the
skeletons sink to the bottom where
thel gradually build up deposits of
diatomite. It is estimated that there

“Such is the fluidity of our population that a large number of childern

Common names of diatomite are:

material is not diatomite, says Paul
Hatmaker, in a report recently published by the Bureau of Mines.
More than. ten thousand varieties
of diatoms have been studied and
slassified. Among the more important are the Coscinodiscus which
resembles a golf ball in appearance
and the synedra which is long and
