Australiasand also in the island of Rod

ferred to was noticed not only in South
Africa, but also at Cape Horn, which
| is $500 miles distant from the Straits of
| Sunda.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
| of all the phenomena connected with
this cataclysm of nature was the atmos-
| pheric disturbance, sor air wave, pro-
| duced by the explosion. This air wave
! it is stated, went three times around the
earth, and it has been remarked that
THE character Of this disturbance

not for the2fact that it is attested by
the barograms of every great meteoro-
logical station on the worlds surface.
From this the time Of it's genesis could

eral Strachey as two hours Sc minutes

time would correspond with 9:58 O'Clock

1t may be mentioned that. although
the explosion did not take place until

1t is hardy a matter to be wondered
at, when we are told that at Sarimon,

point out how stupendous must have

that it was able to lift millions Of tons
