This is a specimen of a certain class of journalism clipped from a Vancouver paper: "Auckland, July 2nd.—An earthquake was felt. over the whole North Island early Tuesday morning. Violent shocks, accompanied by loud rumblings, lasted over a minute. The disturbances were severest in the middle sections of the island.. Auckland is vaed'to volcanic activity. The roads everywhere around the city are the despair of automobilists. Eepeatcd efforts have been made to obtain roads which would remain in a good state of efficiencv, but always without success. Nothing, it has been found, can be done to provide thoroughfares through which the cnrat of the earth will not break. The reason is the volcanio workings which are always going on under the ground. After leaving Queen street, tho principal artery of Auckland, every road is affected in every direction, and there is not the least prospect, apparently, of any remedy, being found.''
