AN AUSTRALIAN SAVANT ON THE ERUPTION.
A telegram from Melbourne to a Sydney paper says :— lt is reported that the Rotomahana pink and white terraces are completely destroyed by the eruption. Houees are still being buried by volcanic mud. Professor Ellery thinks that a renewed period of volcanic activity is setting in, of -which the earthquakes in Tasmania and portions of continental Australia lasfc year and more recently were premonitions. Ho thinks \t likely that the lino of volcanic weakness extending from East Banks' Strait in north-east Tasmania to New Zealand is about to show a violent disturbance, which may result in earthquakes, even on the continent of Australia, though more probably they will be confined to the point where they have now appeared, which is of different geological formation to other parts of New Zealand and Australia.
