CHICAGO POSTAL CLERK
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS
Government Is Reimbursed
and There Will Be No
Prosecution
BOOKS INVESTIGATE!
Attitude of Authorities It
Cause of Considerable
Comment
CHICAGO. June S. — Grief-strJcken at
the series of misfortunes heaped upon !
him in the last year, Thomas R. aiel
o<!y, for 41 years an official in the Chi
cago postoffice, lies at the point of
death.
The latest blow of the series to fall
ttpon Melody's shoulder.-? Is the discov
ery that his accounts at the posfbfflce,
either through clerical errors or an
oversight on his part, indicate a short
age of $13,000. Whatever the cause
of the discrepancy, the government
looks upon it as a technical defalcation
and it is understood that Melody's chil
dren have made good the sum without
contesting- the matter because of Melo
dy's dangerous physical condition.
The most unusual feature of the sit
uation Is the attitude of the postal'au
thorities. Last night two of Colonel
Stuart's Inspectors admitted that the
Irregularities had be*n investigated
and that the relatives had made good
the apparent shortage. Consequently
there would be no prosecution and the
matter was closed.
But Colonel Stuart, head of the local
postal Inspection department, dis
claimed all knowledge of the investi
gation of Melody's books and so report
ed when he was asked about It. The
auditor and Cashier Bean also declared
that a thorough examination of Melo
dys books had shovrn them to be in
good condition and apparently straight.
The first blow to Melody came when
.one of his four sons died suddenly less
than a year ago. It was but a short
time later that a second Bon died.
Melody's friends say that he brooded
over the loss of his sons and constant
ly spoke of his troubles.
One feature of the affair that will be
given attention by Postmaster Camp
bell today is the part played by the
Inspectors.
"I don't know whether the inspectors
have the right to assume the respon
sibility for settling a matter of this
sort or not," said Campbell. "They
may have be^n so Instructed by tha
authorities at- Washington. However,
this Is a matter that I will Investigate."
BIG TRIPOLI DEPOSITS IN
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
"Chalk Rock" Found in Al
most Inexhaustible
Quantities
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CAIX
WASHINGTON, June 7. — The diato
raaceous deposits so -widely distributed
in the coast ranges of California are
found Sn such purity and such inex
haustible quantities in northern Santa
Barbara county as to give them great
commercial value, and it Js for this
reason that a description of the oc
currence Is included by the United
States geological survey in the Con
tributions to Economic Geology ' for
1906. The paper was prepared by
Ralph Arnold and Robert Anderson as
the result of field work in 1906 in the
Lompoc and Guadalupe districts.
The deposits are variously known as
Infusorial earth, tripoli, diatomaceous
earth, and In Santa Barbara county
"chalk rock." The most appropriate
of these names is diatomaceous earth,
as the material Is composed almost
entirely of the skeletons of minute or
ganisms called diatoms— one-celled
plants that adapt themselves to a wide
range of conditions of depth and
temperature in fresh or salt "water and
secrete sillcious casings around their
organic matter. They must have lived
In great abundance In the sea that
ages ago covered this part of the land,
tor the rock was built up of the little
shells af these plants that dropped to
the sea bottom. Examination with' a
hand lens always reveals a large num
ber of the round forms of the diatom
shells thickly Imbedded in - the shale.
Many of these shells are In a good state
of preservation, and In some of the
material they can be plainly distin
guished with the naked eye. The name
"chalk rock" Is inappropriate, for al
though the deposits ; resemble chalk in
appearance, they are made of silicious
Instead of calcareous material. The
uses to which the diatomaceous earth
are put are constantly Increasing, and
the methods of application are develop
ing. Formerly employed ' solely for
abrasive purposes. It soon became
useful In the manufacture of polishing
powders, soaps, etc.; but its abrasive
quality is not its most valuable one.
Its porosity makes it a good absorb
ent and it Is extensively used in the
manufacture of dynamite from . nltro
aßflycerln. Being very light and a poor
conductor of heat, it is valuable for
use In the manufacture of packing
for safes, steam pipes and boilers, and
of fire-proof building materials. It also
serves as a base 'for the manufacture
of cement suitable for withstanding
heat. It is a good filtering substance
and Is so used commercially.
Some of the earth from the Lompoc
region Is said to be used in the re
fining of beet sugar. In the Lompoc
region and also at Monterey, farther
north on the California coast, it is
used In the construction of buildings.
The shale is easily Quarried into
smooth blocks which can be - readily
placed In position. The blocks are
compact and yet elastic under changes
of temperature, seem to possess suf
ficient strength and are resistant to
weathering. As a , building material
it is finely adapted to a region subject
to earthquakes, for the^ehock effect
on a. substance so ltght would prob- ;
ably be the minimum and a' smaller
amount of damage would result from
falling: materials.
The Santa Barbara county deposits
axe rendered exceptlonaly valuable by
their proximity to railroad ' and ocean
transportation facilities.
