ERUPTION IS OF SCIENTIFIC VALUE.
 SAYS DIR. THOMAS JAGGAR

i accepted, only about D persons lost their lives on the island. However, it is im- possible to verify this, the islanders scattered in many directions.
 In the last phase of the eruption black lava was flowing to the sea in tubes ot it's own making, finally joining the main land on the east and converting the island into a peninsula. A great leaf-shaped promontory of lava with numerous lobes has formed in the sea on the Kagoshima side. All the lava flows except the north flowing lobe at kurojima still are in mo- ton. The east channel, which now is bridged, was 55 fathoms deep in places averaged about 70 fathoms, and was q quarter of a mile wide. The free flow of lava, diminution of explosion and rare earthquakes all suggest that the eruption is reaching it's finishing stages.
 Dr, Jaggar places Sakurajima between the Vesuvius and Tarumai types Cfaru- mai is in Hokkaido), the dangerous feat ure being the downward rush of gas and ash, making tornado of fire when the lava has long been confined underground.
 ''l know of no case in volcanic history said the scientist, where lava has flowed out so voluminousy and freely as in this case, releasing gases in solution and being followed by violent explosions

others. But when the toastmaster called for MT. Bates there was no re- sponse nor did any member of his team appear to be present.
 That was where the trouble started Despite vociferous protests, the team headed by R. l. Stanton. ranking next the kitchen and forced to don aprons and prepare to serve. There was a mild riot when they marched calmly down the hall each bearing a plate of cream and, leaning against the wall, pro- ceeded to eat it. Nor did the storm which their action aroused move them until all had been consumed
 After all had been served a mem Der of MT. Bates team was discovered but was saved from the wrath of Mir Stanton's team by others present. De- spite his efforts to explain three aprons were pinned on him and he was forced to wear the walters re- galia until the end of the meeting.
 E. L. Wilmington in behalf of his team challenged Captain Howell to a membership contest to be held next September. This is to be acted upon later.
 The speeches at the banquet were for the most part, reports of what had been done by the committees No set speeches were made and the mem bers enjoyed the meeting, got &C., quainted with the new members and had much burlesque that was timely and appropriate for the end of the successful campaign.

kagoshima Japan. February 8.-Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar. professor of geology at the Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology. and director of the Hawaiian vol cano observatory, who Is studying the Sakuraiima eruption, informs the Asso- ciated Press that he considers the eruption of great scientific interest. as it may furnish formula for gauging the po- tential danger of future eruptions.
 pr. Jaggar believes the earthquakes of January Ii, preceding the flow of lava was due to the attempts of the lava to force it's way to the surface; that the great earthquake of January F was caused by the lava reaching the air in the crater, and that the displace of Jan uary 13 marked the discharge of the lava.
 The virtual immunity of Kagoshima City. Dr. Jaggar believes, was due to the early emission of lava, as no other cities SC near an active volcano have escaped more serious damage in such great erup- tions.
 Only the speedy flight of the inhabitants prevented grNat loss of life, for at least 10000 were in the death-dealing zone and undoubtedly would have perished had they remained there
