DR. BABCOCK DONATES Gives Varsity Library Books and Pamphlets. The library of the University is again indebted to that friend of Carolina, Dr. J. W. Babcock, this time for an important addi tion to the department of "Caro liniana," by the gift of practi cally his entire collection of books and pamphlets relating to the city of Columbia. Some are much desired dupli cates; others supply real defi ciencies. Besides, there are pic tures of old Barhamville Acade my, of the Limestone Springs High School, of the asylum as a war camp and others; also an original acconnt sheet, signed by the commissioners and dated "Charleston, Nov. 20, 1786," showing the first sale of lots in the incipient city of Columbia. Another valued donation re cently comes from Capt. Dibert Jackson in the (partial) file for 1806-7 of the South Carolina Ga zette and Columbia Advertiser.. Prof. Taber Talks on Earthquake Continued from Page I. times-thousands and perhaps millions of years ago-and the Charleston earthquake and its after-shocks do not indicate that such occurrences will be any more frequent in the future than they have in the past. In South Carolina the beds of the coastal plain have been barely raised above sea level, while elsewhere, as in California, formations of the same age have been crumpled up to form mountain ranges, and there earthquakes may be ex pected more freely. The con clusion that the coastal plain is a region of low seismic activity is borne out by the fact that for two centuries prior to 1886 earth quakes were rare in this region, while since the Charleston earth quake the shocks have gradually decreased in intensity and fre quency. The distribution of intensities at the time of the earthquake of 1886 indicates that the disturb ance was due to a displacement along a fault in the crystalline rocks underlying the later sedi mentary beds, which have a thickness of approximately a half mile. This fault is believed to extend in a north-east south-west direction not far from Woodstock. A study of the shocks felt since 1886 indicate that they are most likely to occur whenever any thing increases the relative pres sure on the north-west side of the supposed fault. Rainfall and atmospheric pressure are the most important factors control ling the surface pressure, and it is found that shocks are most frequent after periods of heavy rainfall. GLEE CLUB ORGANIZES Many Artists From Which to Draw Material. The college Glee Club for this year is one of the best ever. The singers will be picked from the following men: Reeves, Carpen ter, Fred Rudisill, "Mucho" Ston ey, Charlie Green, Paul, Per kins, LaMotte, Wilds, Wanna maker, Stevens, Langston and Will Rudisill. The orchestra will be "round here" also. Prof. Berry Seay, who is organist at the Catholic church, is right there when it comes to bearing down on the "ivories." Dr. Cook is some violinist, and has made a big hit in all previous Glee Glub con certs. Will Rudisill, of baseball fame, is a wizard on the clarinet. Perkins and Anderson will man age their cornets.
