Student Geologists Make an Interesting Trip. Tbe oltts in geology at tbe Sooth Carolina college, under Dr Glenn, taken from time to time exoursiona ioto tbe field to study in o practical way tbe geology and pbysiogragby of tbe region around Columbia Speoial rates have been secured from the railroada for tbeee trips and last Saturday tbe class spent the day studying parts of Richlaud. Orange borg and Somler oountiea Tbe early Cbarlestou train was taken to Congareo,where tbe first stop was made To tbe right there tow wered near by the almost preoipitoua yet well wooded bluffs that rise near? ly 150 feet above tbe river swamp and overlooked for miles tbe Conga ree which io numerous plsces is seen to be cutting tbe bluffs away and carrying tbo materials down stream to deposit tbem in tbe swamp lower down or carry tbem to the sea to be dropped near its mouth and build up deposits that may some day be lifted above tbe waves and joined to tbe aeaward margin of our State as new-born land. A few hundred yards up tbe track the tbe railroad cuts across tbe nose of a bill aod in this cut tbe class found a good section for study Rising into view near one end, reaching a considerable height of sight toward tbe otber end of tbe cut was seen a formation to wbioh geologists have given the name Po? tomac It is mede up of beds of coarse mealy-looking sand separated by beds of tough, compact clays often times brilliantly colored : Into these beds of sand abundant water enters where they are exposod as in this case at the surface of the ground. These beds lie ou tbe granite or other ancient rocks and sink further beneath tbo surface as tbey go toward the sea so that while they are found in Orangeburg at the surface several hundred feet above tbe sea, they are reached in the Charleston artesian wells at nearly 2,000 feet beneath aea level Their position and character are of great importance to the people of all the low country, since tbeir sandy strata are water bearing and when bored into give orteaian wells Io this cut there rested on the Po tomao some feet of red sands to which tbe name Lafayette is given Tbis usually reddish and usually sandy fprmation forms the sorfaoe of o large part of tbe low country of Sooth Carolina and is spread over the onderlying formations io a thin sheet that wraps both hill and volley If this thin veneer could be stripped off tbe low country the surface witb its bills ood valleys along and near tbe rivers woold oot be rooob differ eot Irom what it ia now Along the Hoe separating the Po tomec and the Lafayette were found many well rounded qoartz pebbles osoally cemented by iron ioto a croat of irooatone With theae peb? bles were found numerous partly rounded masses composed ot" innum? erable email ahelle end ahell frag meuts Tbeae shells belong to species that lived only during Eooeue time and show that when the sea rolled inward over tbe low country at tbe beginning of Lafayette time, tbe waves along tbe shore beat ogaioat Eocene abell limestone some? where near this spot aod tore off fragments to roll and roond In the eurf and deposit with the aanda form? ing the Lafayette Tbue in imagina? tion one oatobea a glimpse of the breakers of the sea of that distant time and beara them thunder aa they break along tbe shore The class climbed from this point I to tbe top of the hill to blend tbe his | torio with tbe scientific in visiting tbe site of Ft Motto of Revolutionary fame Tbe mound thrown up by Marion ?nd Lee when besieging it, waa seen and on tbe crest of tbe bill a small pile of brick and stone alone mark the aite of the chimney of Mrs Motte's house around which tbe British foit was built?a fit site for a memorial shaft. From this point a magnificent view wjs had up and down the Cougaree and across in Suratcr Tho line of bold hills overlooking the Conguree on the Orangeburg side were seen to form a steep valley wall, while the other side of the valley is found to be ovur in Hichland county north of the Coast Line railroad, where a line of hills can be traced eastward to ward the Wateree. Ordinarily our people do not think of these as val? ley sides or walls and yet they are really so, and the river swamp and the level region in lower Richland across which the Coast Line and Southern railways run and which are doited with houses and fertile farm lands ere really in the valley of the Congareo. Long ago the river flow? ed near tho northern sido of Its val l.?y, but then us now it kept cutting its BOQthero or right hand bank away and ho gradually shifted its bed southward eating uwity its BOtlthero valley wall before it as it went This process is Htill going on und tho river is still widening Uh SOOtbero valley sitlo The northern siile of its val? ley lue been deserted so long that tie traces that uow remain to tell tho story ol tho river's past history are to fiiot tbtt they ordinarily escape delection. Aa the river shifted south? ward it cut deeper and deeper so that the floor of the old valley elopes to the southward The biliti were sseo to be due to small branohss from ike river, like branches from a tree, growing bsok' ward into the oouotry, forming the vailey walla by gnawing away up at tbeir beads sod thus lengthening them? selves just as a hillside grows up hill. In this wsy tbey have growo baokward from tbo river a number of miles and have eaten out valleys for themselves as well as put out their own little side streams, thus cutting up the oouotry along the vttley wall ioto a series of bills. By goiog bsok some miles from the river the headwaters of the side streams ars reaohed, and the surface, no longer deeply trenoued by these side stresm valleys, becomes muob more level. Oo their way back to the train the party sesrohed for but were uoablo to find in the few minutes left them a natural break known as the devil'* footprint, an impression in a stono on the bluff said to resemble Che print of a elub foot and to have beeo made by bis majesty in stepping from the Orange* burg side of the valtay wall io the eastern wall of the Wateree valley in the high hills of Sumter The train was taken for Sumter Junction in the eastern edge of the Wateree swamp. A few minutes walk took the Deny to a high bluff where the railroad, in leaving the Wateree swamp, out? slightly into the eastern valley well Hero the Potomac formation was agaio seen magnificently exposed, and on it rested a few feet of red Lifayette esnds. In tbo Potomao at this point are found beautifully preserved plsnt leaves. It is noted as the only locality so fsr as is known fron which ooileo* tions of plant fossils have been made in South Carolina Thoy were discov? ered some yesrs ago and a oolleotioo has siooe been made for the natiooal museum io Washington. Tbey tell of a lime iu the distaut past when (be streams oarried ioto the lagooos or shallow fro'h or braokish waters then covering (hi* region the leaves of the trees and plants that grow along tb*ir banks, where tbey settled to the bottom, were buried io the fine mud sod have left the impress of even their most delicate markings a) the mud bardeoed ioto atone. From (heir study one looks fsr back ioto the geologic past and joins a knowledge of (he flora of the Potomao time and of the climate that then pre vailed ; both are tbui thowo to be different from what re have here todsy. After lunob and a tramp of about four miles the olas* reaohed the deep out just west of Wedgefield. At the base the Potomao was again found, snd oo the surfsoe the Lafayette, but betweeo tbem weie found some other formations that bad oot beeo seen pre viously. The Potomao ia the oldest of the formations of the ooastsl plain ; the Lafsystte is among tbe youngest Thsse otbsr formations are of interme? diate age and so were laid down cn tbe Potomao sod bsfore the Lafayette, but if tbsy bad ever existsd at tbs otbsr plaoea examined by the olass tbey bsd bsen entirely worn away. The two lowest of tbem were dark eolored, one of floe blaek olay, tbe otbsr psrtly of grssn sand Tbey probably belong to tbe marina erstaetous, while tbs nsxt bed resting on them is a peculiarly light oream oolorsd elsy oontaining numerous easts nf shells that show it to be probably of Eoosoe sgs. Both tbo dark nud tbe light materials prove that in the long ago, wbeo tbey were formed, old ooean rolled it waves where they now rest and fish and otbsr marine animals sported io its wsters and, dying, left their shells as memorials of their ?listet aa. Ooly a basty examination was made bare before tbe party bsd to begin the trsmp bsok to Camden Junction, where the sftsrnoon train was taken for Co? lumbia ?Tbs State, April 19 The Atlantic Coast Line.
