Mardl Gras was celebrated here

probably az many as have APP.
peaIed upon the streets in recent
years. The heavy rain of the af.
teinOOn did much towards marrii,s
the pleasures of the day and in
all probability deferred many from
coming out. The Ladies Parish

Mr.. T. j. GOnsoulin of LOreau
Vile, WAS a recent visitor to this
city. He expressed his doubts of
the wisdom Of the policy Of IN
dertaking to lock the Teche. He
held to the view that any system
of dealing with the bayon that
did not contemplate a good strong
current through its channel would
result in disappointment. He
strongly advocated .the policy of
opening the Teche into the Couta-
bleau, thereby opening a channel
for up-country headwateys. lie
then mentioned a recent happening
which considerably annoyed ri.
parian dwclleIs in the vicinity of
his home. Someone, in attempting
to effect the disposal Of the carcas
of mule, threw II into the bayou.
At any rate it was discovered in the
bayou one morning. II would
float down the stream AS far as
the Maria refinery and, with the
changing tide and wind, back up
stream as far as the LOreaville
bridge. He apprehended that
locks at Keystone would have a
tendency of accen:uatIng such
conditions and greatly tend 70 max
ing, conditions more intolerabIe.

sentiment is common among all classes
of our people from the highest to tie
lowest. We are glad to have the United
States in the orient, and we feel that the
fact that she is here is a great protection
to our trade and to the preservation or
the open door.
What is the feeling In your country
a TO the United States?"
at is of the frendliest nature. We look
upon you our friend and feel that your
interests and ours are along the same
lines toward the preservation of peace.
1t means much to the world, well
to Japan, that your country and ours
should continue to have friendly relations.
Any war that would involve would in
volve the whole world. and what We both
want is peace"
With these words the interview closed.

where the earth has been slightly

calm arrives. The earth's crust tends.
now. to contract again; but the gases.
not being able to return to the interior
mass, must escape to the surface of the
earth by lines of least resistance.
These lines of least resistance are.
generally. of course, the cracks. the
lines of fracture in a word, the noun
rain-chain lines that form the edges of
the earthly pyramid. And, escaping, the
gases drag along with them some OF
the liauid-sOlid interior molten mass:
and so we have volcanic action.
Earthquakes are shiftings on the crust
in the same play Of contraction.
In the last year the seismographs OF
Europe have registered some 1000
earthquakes that nobody felt. The
other day you felt one at Philadelphia.
The pulsations go on increasing to the
solar calm: but when it arrives. TO-
ward 1912. look out; they begin to
grow violent
The suns minimum is due in 1912.
Already in 1909. 1910 and 1911 there
will be things doing.
Lucky for the EARTH.
Lucky that its crust can pulsate
still. even at the price Of Messina
horror. When the earth's crust gets
too thick, look out for the end fore
told in Revelations.

are scared of earthquakes and volcanoes
breaking out of peaceful hot springs be-
tween now and 1912, when the suns ac-
1ivity will have sunk to it's minimum.
If you think the earth's crust does not
pulsate with the sun. why are we now
entering into such a rackety period? l
do not refer only to Messina. November
II earthquakes were felt in Belgium,
South Saxony and Westphalia. December
~ there were manifest shocks in Leipzig.
West Saxony and Thuringia- And on
December 20 In the Maine-and-Loire de-
partment, France.
Why. otherwise, Is the Sangay volcano
on the equator doing new explosive
stunts? And those of the Nyanza lakes?
And the new active volcanoes In Thibet.
There is a sublime story here. 1t is
backed by the erudite Able MoreuX, Ca
mile Flammarion. the Geologist Suess in
his actual studies of the Carlsbad hot
springs and many others. The climax
will arrive when its crust gets too thick
10 pulsate and our earth will burst like
a rotten egg, these scientists say.
Let US. therefore patiently tolerate the
Shocks and eruptionS due now, or till
1912 guarantees against that final burst
ing, like safety valves. The moon has
burst; glance at the wreck upon it's sur
facet
The earth Is not a sphere. nor has it
the shape OF IAN orange slightly Hattened
at the poles. 1t is a four-Sided pyramid
a scientist contends.
Of course. the fiattening is slight COM
pared with total size, but the fact is as
certain as the earth is egg or cream
puff whose liquid molten magma, hotter
than 2,OOO centrigrade. is also rather solid
by the force of pressure.
The earth'S thin crust is comparatively
cold. Biologists agree on 43, or 80 or 100
miles; it is egg shell in comparison
with the 1880 miles of the interior molten
mass.
When the earth's crust gets thicker
there will be explosions compared with
which our present safety-valve volcanic
eruptions are diminutive. The moon-but

military preparations Could we have
had time we might have been in much
better shape: but we had to take our
army and navy as they were and to ar
range for such additional ammunition and
food supplies as were needed"
Where were your bonds chiefly
placed?'
Mostly in the United States and Eng
land"
What is the financial situation OF the
empire today?"
ut is not bad" replied the premier
This country has abundant resources
and our people are generally well off
There is no great suffering in a business
way. and the times are no harder here
than in most other countries. The cur
tailment of business has been largely due
to the world panic which began in the
United States more than year ago. and
which has affected every trading nation.
The chief trouble is not as to our condi-
ton. but as to our methods of regulating
the revenues and expenditures Of the gov
eminent. Japan is abundantly able to
pay all its obligations and to carry out
all it's hopes of development for the fu-
lure: but it must go slowly and along diff
ferent lines from those of our past admin
