The Auckland Herald says it is be-
basely battered Samoa and other Pacific
Interests for the favor of Prince Bismarck,
and asserts that the open-spirited conduct
Of the United States in compelling Ger
many to let go her grip on Samoa has e1-
cited feeling of enthusiastic admiration
for the great republic, warmer and more
pronounced than ever existed among US
before. The incident seemed to many
like an abrogation by England Of her
leadership of the Anglo-S Saxon civilization
in these seas, and handing over the right

Natural Gas.

One writer asks IL il is safe to bore the
earth too much. He assumes the earth 10
be o hollow sphere filed with . gaseous
substance called by us natural gas, and he
thinks that tapping these reservoirs will
cause disastrous explosions, resulting from
the lighted gas coming in contact with
that which Is escaping. Earthquakes, be
said, are probably caused by vscuums
created by The ovelflowing gas. He COM
pares the earth to balloon Hoaied and
kept distended by the gas in tho interior
which, il exhausted. will cause the crust
to collapse, affect the motion OF the earth
in its orbit, cause 1t to lose its place
among the heavenly bodies and fall in
pieces.
Another writer thinks that boring
should be prohibited by Strengthened laws.
He, too. thinks there is possibility Of
an explosion. thought from another cause.
Should such disaster occur "the conntry
along the gas belt from Toledo, through
OHIO, Indiana. and Kentucky will be rip
ped up TO the depth OF l.200 or 1900 feet
and Topped over like pancake, leaving a
chasm through which the waters OF Lake
Erie will come bowling down, filing the
