Dr. Bell. Director of Geological Survey, in his lecture at live Leys Institute, Auckland, said he believed the *'ni(i would eo'no when announcements would appear in the newspapers giv•j)Qf the time and locality of volcanis eruptions and earthquakes quite as .iccurat ely a; meteorological reports were now furnished. He inclined to the opinion that in the Taupo 7.011 c there would yet be a renewal of volcanic activity. Of more interests to residents of Auckland was the question of Rangitoto. That volcano was the youngest in th'is district, and probably not more than 400 years had elapsed since it became inactive, although some estimated the period of cuicscenco at 10C0 Thi s was indicated by the sharpnes of the ejected scoria, which was comparatively little weather-worn. It was also fchowrT fry the character of the vegetation. That Rangitoto would break cut again wag, therefore, quite possible, though, of cdurse. no one could sneak with certainty on that point. Thev knew that prior to the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 A.D.. that volcano had not 'been active within historical times, and what had happened might occur again in the course of nature. It was that fact which made it imperative that in volcanic zones the Luildins-ft should be of reinforced con>.rete. as such structures had the test in San Francisco a id Messina during the recent earthqu ikes.

If every cold received the attention it should have, .the danger of thia would ho avoided. Kvery cold can be curM by the -n9e of Chamberlain's Oougli remedv. A bottle or two of tMs remedy tauten' when the cold is Irst contracted will promptly cure it. and not only save doctors'' bills, but jnueh suffering and annoyance later on/
