GREAT ERUPTION
 BEING FORECAST
Jap Expert Expects Y@uYius
 to Be in Action

Tokyo, Dec. o7 Pl-An enormous and possibly disastrous eruption of the Italian volcano Vesuvius is fore- cast by Dr. Akitune Imamura, as the next threatening gesture of the forces imprisoned within the earth Dr. Imamura is known as the lead ing seismologist of the Far East and is called by some scientists the greatest in the world.
 Dr. 1mamura's views were set forth on his recent return from the conference of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics at Prague. He said that Japan is not expected to experience a great earthquake disaster, similar to that of 1923, for at least another cen- tury.
 The seismologist's dire predic- ton for NesuviuS is based on his personal observations of this vol cano for many year. Since the ex- plosion of the crater in 1906, the lava has been creeping slowly up- ward toward the brim until now, according to the earthquake ex- pert, it is at its 1905 level. Dr. Ima- mura viewed the volcano last month and, shortly thereafter, is- sued a. warning of the forthcoming eruption. But he qualities his as- sertlon with the statement that we cannot always be right in pre- dieting the eccentricties of na- ture."
 So far as earthquakes and Japan are concerned, Dr. Imamura told the Associated Press that, while no great national earthquake is likely for at least hundred years, there can be no prediction regard ing local earth shocks of such strength that considerable damage might result. These concentrated shocks are possible any time and either Yokohama, Tokyo, Osaka, Niigata and other certain localities on the main island can be describ- ed as susceptible. While people may be killed and injured, and property damaged. by these local quakes, the sclsmologist does not believe anything approaching a real dis aster is probable.
 That 1t will not be long before seismologists all over the world will be able to accurately predict the time and locality of big earth quakes is the belief of Dr. Ima- mura. Before any large earthquake, he says. a noticeable strain of the earth crust is likely to take place. This was observed in the vicinity of the Tajima earthquake in 1925, where there was seen an upheaval a meter high at the maximum along the coast in the east of Gomura faut two and half hours before the great shock occurred.
 The Earthquake Research 1nsti- ute Of the Tokyo Imperial Uni versity of which Dr. Imamura is the head, is spending much time and money in perfecting earth quake prognostication. Whether any accurate method will be found to warn the public of coming earth shocks is still uncertain. But sci- entists such as Dr. Imamura are giving their lives to the work and hope that. in the end, they will be at least moderately successful.

tusks like those belonging to "Ambelodon Fricd' - the name which science has given the creature that once wore them. The seven foot distance from the joints of the lower jawbone to the end of the tusks is a surprising contrast to the two-foot jawbones of the largest mastodons heretofore found.
 The end of the jawbone proper was comparatively light and seem- ingly incapable of supporting the strain exerted by the huge ivory shovel. Dr. Barbours guess is that the mastodon wrapped his trunk around the tusks as he dug. thus relieving the jaw of some Of the

 The long flat tusks, set closely to- gethor. made single shovel-like scoop which protruded from the monsters lower jaw. This was used. Dr. Barbour believes, to scoop seaweed from the waters of ancient Nebraska lakes and to do other odd Joos Of excavation as their owner sought sustenance several million years ago.

 The mastodon," Dr. Barbour says, must have carried it's head high in order that the protruding mandible could clear the ground and not interfere with progression. For tunately the specimen we found is perfect. Thc<tusks have the white ness and the density, as well as the docussating lines. of ivory"
 The huge molars, nine inches long, were squarely set. pr. Barbour be icvcs that the upper tusks which other elephants carry may have been dWarfed by the shovel-tusks Of the now found mastodon.
