some very distinguished gentlemen
who would spend thousa nds of dol

Not alone at Kagoshima, but elsewhere
in Japan the volcanic activity is now in
evidence. Practically all Of the vents are
emitting lava and ashes. and earth

tinuously throughout southern Japan.

such a period lasts for several weeks or
months and is succeeded by time OF

just erupted In southern Japan. der-
astating kagoshima, has been dormant
for a century and quarter and was re-
garded as virtually extinct. though oe-
casionally emitting trickles of smoke and
gas. 1t is this fact that causes the jap

ished. In the present cold snap Wash
ington has not suffered as severely as
IN other cities. the Thermometer hay
ing gone only to about IA degrees. Those
who early looked for a severe winter
are forced now to console their sense
Of prediction by the belief that from
this time on the season will be most
trying. Yet there is no assurance that
this Will be the case. Naturally it is to
be expected that there will be some
snow. and before spring there will be
several more temperature drops, but
the Dad time cannot last very long, for
II Is at the most not more than six or
eight weeks in which the winter can
yield distressing conditions. There is
every reason now to believe that the
winter OF 1914 viii. despite all the
preliminary warnings. prove to be re-
markedly mild and free from dis
agreeable features.
