About this book
Cave Regions of the Ozarks and Black Hills is by Luella Agnes Owen. The illustrations are from photographs by named artists, and include views of Marble Cave. The text calls the caverns of the Ozark regions in Missouri, although comparatively little known, well worth knowing and possibly the most ancient limestone caves in the world. The text says that at the time of Dr. Owen's report onyx, the most beautiful and valuable of dripstones, had not yet been discovered in the United States, while now especially fine deposits are known in California, Utah, Missouri, South Dakota and Arkansas.
If iron-bearing water is confined first in a shallow basin and exposed long to the action of the atmosphere, the protoxide of iron absorbs the oxygen and is precipitated as an insoluble red peroxide of iron, the text says. A quotation in the text says a geyser may be defined to be a periodically eruptive or intermittent hot spring, from which the water is projected into the air in a fountain-like column.
