Million -Year -Old Clues When he is searching for water prior to the sinking of a deep well, a modern geologist relies largely upon the clues furnished by fish that died millions of years ago. Water is usually found beneath layers of certain ]finds of rock. No one can tell as ee stands on the ground the exact nature of the rocks' below him, but fossilized fish brought up by the drill will serve to make them plain. Geologists know that certain kinds of fossils are found only in particular rocks. The discovery of a particular kind often serves to show whether water has been nearly reached or is still far away. New wells are continually being Made in London (England), to sup - n9 ply the great buildings that are raised. As the drill goes down the expert examines with the atmost care the fragments that it brings up. During- recent operations the drill had gone down to 500 feet when a fossilized starfish appeared. This showed that the theft was only at the top of the chant layer and that it must be driven a long way"deep- or before water could be reached. Much later, lumps of rock consisting of smashed shells were brought up. These were fossils of creatures •hound ed by the waves that once rolled over a great part of what is now southern England. The, expert knew that water was'. not far away, and the drill llad gone but a little farther when a source was tapped which is now supplying hundreds of thousands of gallons a ' day.
