DR. TWITCHELL HAS GEOLOGY EXHIBIT All the Mineral and Clay Resources of State. EXHIBIT IS IN CAROLINA COLORS Carefully Arranged in College Build ing-Shows Work of State Geologist. Dr. Twitchell, professor of Geol ogy at the University and State Geologist, has arranged a very in teresting exhibit at the fair grounds. He has been collecting materials for this exhibit for some time and as a result, quite a number of varying products of the geological work have been gathered. Dr. Twitchell hopes by this collection at the fair to let the people know what is being done in this office of the State. The Exhibit. The collected.articles are very well displayed in the college building at the grounds, the space which it oc cupies being just to the left as you enter the building from the gates. '[he entire space is decorated with Carolina's Garnet and Black. Be ginning at the farther part of the arrayed materials, the exhibit of the kaolin industry is first seen. Kaolin is used in making china. Some fine lumps of the white clay are shown. Further on are placed the objects treating of the road material indus try. Different road granites and clays are viewed here-some of the stone is crushed into large and small sizes-at thev are when laid on the road itself. The mineral waters are well represented. Water, in bot ties, from the Harris, Chick, Glenn, Shivar and Big Springs, the Clementia Mineral and Crystal car bon mineral water arc seen on three step-like shelves. This stands well for the drinking waters of the State. Fertilizers and Bricks. The fertilizers are next. Twenty four varieties are exhibited, put up) ini the common glass dlisplay bottles. Phosphates, combined with all kinds of othier substances, constitute the larger number- of the samples of this useful industry. Th'le brick industry is .the most thoroughly treated de partment of them all. Seventeen sep)arate comipanies hav'e sent bricks andl sampjles of the clay fr-om which their b)ricks are ade. Thle blocks are of all sizes, ail shapes, and all colors, from very dleep) red to light yellow. There are, at least in ap pearance, some twvelve or fifteen en tirely different clays. This is a full and guite a good assortmient of h)uil(ling bricks The Rest of the Exhibit. A single table stands between the fertilizers and the bricks. Above it is written "The Industry." Sand, as an industry, is then put forth in a number of display bottles filled with three distinctly different kinds of sand. One of them is red. Two rocks, with glass jars holding lumps of lime, show the lime made in South Carolina. Beautifully carved upon a block of granite are a few words written in Old English style. This block makes clear what fine work is being done in granite. The gold is interesting. Lumps of plain gold ore are laid to view, then bottles filled with the ore after it has been powdered and chemically treat ed. One is whitish, another dark gray, and a third powder is dark purplish red. These powders are called "gold ore concentrates." The tin work is much like the gold, ore and concentrate being shown. This ends the exhibit; and it is hopel that this good collection of our State's mineral resources will have an effect upon the development of the geo logical work. ART EXHIBIT AT MISS RION'S A number of students have had the privilege of visiting at the home of Miss Margaret H. Rion an art exhibit comprising canvases by Mr. Frank Verbeck, Mrs. Frank Ver beck, and Miss A. Belle Smith. Mrs. Verbeck is a sister of the libra rian, and is the well known author of "A Garden in the Wilderness," etc., as well as being an artist and musician of enviable reputation. Her husband is the illustrator popular especially through his drawings for "Uncle Remus" and his decorations for animal books of many kinds. Miss Smith is known by everybody in Columbia through her connection for some years with the College for Women as head of tile art depart ment. The pictures w,ere really a trans port to all that were fortunate enough to see them. Columbia may be counted fortunate in having caught them on their way to an ex hibit in the middle West. There were portraits, illustrations, beauti ftil sunny oil sketches of the sur roundings of tihe Verbeck artists' house in Bermuda, and decorativ'e dlesigns, mlost of the latter by Mr. VTerheck. One of these p)articularly, called "Storkland,'' rep)resent ing flight of tihe lank b)ringers of infants over* the moon, contains wvonder fully all the myl)stery of fable and the miracle of dreamy chlildhood. Miss Smith's moonlight scenes of Tamplla b)ay and her p)ortraits from French models, successfully exhlibitedi two years ago at tile State fair, attracted notice. Sophomore: "Are you going to the mat inee ?" Freshman: "No, I am going to see 'Exense Me' this afternn THE RODDEY MEDAL DE1ATE On Wednesday evening, Nov. 8th, at 8 o'clock, in the University chapel, the Roddey Medal Contest will be held.
