C. Coker. About re. uf of these visitors were from the city no id in no way connected with the Uni- ab Jrsity. I here was an average attennice of twenty persons each night. ] roups of high school students from all S irts of Richlanu and Lexington Coun- rei es are frequent visitors at all times. an he observatory was built in 1926, the th( ft of Iulwin G. Seibels, a prominent umnus of the University. It houses a fteen-inch reflector telescope with a ce) >cal length of nine feet. The lens of this f0, Icscope was given to the University in totl >20 by J. Wilson Hannahan, of Winns- ni. >ro, and in 1922, the General Assembly j'. jpropriated $2,500 for a steel mounting. | here was no place to keep the tele- i ope until Mr. Seibels donated the *t. lilding. The dome of the observatory is xteen feet in diameter and twenty-sev- r i feet above ground level. OI The observatory is open to the public i clear nights, every Monday and Wed- i Jsday from 7:00 to 8:30 o'clock. ^ eismograph here ; RECORDS TREMBLE J tial The recording of the first earthquake art any size since its recent establish- fr( cut here, was made last Wednesday nei ght by the seismograph. The records Inch are made on sensitized photo- ^ aphic paper were sent immediately on mc Washington, by Professor Carson, it tio is in charge of the instrument. The instrument showed traces of 1 ocks for more than an hour. There ov< ere several major shocks, and since lo? cse major shocks began at the point of igin at the same time, by using the inrval of time between their arrival at 1 is instrument the distance away may Stu calculated. Thus with calculations 1 om different instruments over the ^ol uited States, the exact point of origin the quake may be determined. I he earthquake which centered around j axaca City, about seventy-five miles ( uth of Mexico City, took a toll of ten > ad and a score or more injured, besides 'j ousands of dollars damage to prop- i ty. This region to which earthquakes \ ve become comparatively common, is 'j rt of a great valley which may be con- j lered as extending from the upper end / the Gulf of Lower California, cross- ( ? Mexico through and below Mexico ( ty, and extending on out into the Car- ^ >ean Sea, between Cuba and Jamaica. j. lis whole area has had many faults or r if tings of the earth's surface in the ^ st centuries to which may be attributed ] : great earthquake of San Francisco, ? lilpangi (Mexico), and numerous earth- r akes around San Diego, Cuba.
