Kagoshima. Jan. 17 Two further
Violent eruptions of the volcano Sa-kura-Jima,
accompanied by a severe
earthquake, occurred late last night,
causing the collapse of many more
buildings. Numbers of the inhabi
tants of Kagoshima who had return
ed, fled again in terror from the city
Ashes are falling thickly today.
The sun looked like a ball of blood
over Kagoshima. and the darkness
,! was such that night signals had to be
employed on the railroads The fly-
ing dust was so thick that the few
pedestrians on the streets making
1 their way to the outskirts of the city
had to cover their mouths and noses
1? with towels or handkerchiefs to pre
vent suffocation,
The sea in the gulf of Kagoshima
seemed to be boiling and the quan
tity of floating pumice stone was so
gTeat that It prevented navigation.
Blue Jackets from the Japanese
fleet today discovered a native craft
containing sixteen refugees from Sa
kura, who were in a starving condi
tion. They reported that owing to
the floating masses of pumice atone
and the high seas the had been un
able to steer their boat and had spent
three days adrift at the mercy of the
elements and without a morsel of
food. The Blue Jackets were able to
reach them only by using a wedge
shaped raft, with which they pierced
a field of pumice stone resembling
ice floes.
Lava today was flowing steadily
down the sides of the volcano to the
sea, increasing the area of the island,
as the substance solidified on reach
ing the water.
Professor Fusakiehi Omori, the seis
mologist pointing to the village of
Yokohama on Sakura. where 40U
houses He buried n lava, said
"Are the people burled there as in
Pompeii?" and answered himself,
' Only the future can reply."
Many refugees are reported to have
been driven insane as a result of ter
ror and exposur.
Great Loss of Life.
Tokio. Jan. 17 An indication that
the loss of life on the Island of Sa
kura, which was devastated by the
eruption of the volcano Sakuri-Jima
may be much larger than had been
supposed, Is given in a report receiv
ed here from an official of the inter
ior department who was sent to Kago
shima to investigate He reports that
9,000 out of Sakura's estimated popu
lation of 19,000 had been accounted
for up to the evening of the sixteenth.
Other refugees, it Is expected, will
be found in other directions but the
loss of life was evidently extreme.
Measures for relief of the sufferers
from famine in the north and erup
tions in the south are rapidly assum
ing shape now that the extent of the
disaster is more definitely known.
Appeal for Help.
A relief association, national in
scope, has been organized here and
has Issued the following appeal for
help:
"Heaven has brought us disasters,
one after another. While the suffer
ing from famine In the northeast has
not yet been relieved, another calam
ity has occurred in Kiushlu,
"The northeast, poorly favored by
nature, sustained many afflictions in
the past and is becoming impoverish
ed. It is now suffering a great fam
ine and its people are eating only wild
fruits and herbs to stay their hunger
Snow covers the land, adding to the
suffering
"We were planning to relieve this
distress when news came of the erup
tion In the south with people buried j
in lava or so scorched with fiery
ashes that they had not time to save,
their nearest relatives. No greater
calamity can be Imagined."
The statement ended with an ap
fc" peal to sympathizers for donations.
Intense Suffering Everywhere.
Bishop Walter Andrews, of the Eng
lish church in Hok-Kaido, the famine
stricken district, writes that the suffer
ing everj'where Is Intense. The farm
ers, he says, are hit hardest and their
families are eating soups made of
chopped straw, leaves and rotten po
tatoes and meat taken from cats and
dogs and such The more fortunate
have a thin gruel made of rice or
wheat.
The net results, he writes, are
many deaths from cold and starvation
and an increase of crime and beggars
Many girls, he declares, have been
sold into slavery. He tells of many
children faiting in schools, sick from
lack of food.
Great Change at Sakura.
Kagoshima, Jan 17. Profeswor Om
ori. the Japanese celsmologist, who
arrived here yesterday, circled the
island of Sakum today and found a
pronounced physical change. Huge
molten rocks formed a range Into
the sea, practically blocking the bay
acrosB to Oscnii.
Many buildings remain In perfect
condition on the northern coatit, but
i on the devastated eastern coast afch-
1 i
i
I es and lava reach to the eaves of the
! house. Many new hills having sprung
I Into existence.
The professor saw a woman on the
shore, but when he spoke to her she
fled wildly. She was undoubtedly
insane.
New Craters Still Active.
The new craters formed on Sakura
Jima are still pouring volumes of
smoke in the direction of Osuml.
About seven-tenths of the Island Is
a desert of lava and the remaining
land Is In such a hopeless condition
that it must be abandoned
Fifteen hundred of the 2,000 houses
on the island were buried. The esti
mated damage on this account is 10,
000,000 yen ($5,000,000). How to
deal with the Islanders is a great
problem, the professor says, but evi
dently they must migrate
Professor Imori thinks the entire
volcano range of Kuishui has entered
on a period of activity that recurs
every 60 years and that eruptions maj
be expected at any time, especially
from the volcano Unseen, eight miles
from Oblma, in the prefecture of
Nagasaki .
The geologist Okada is of the opln
ion that Sakura Jima will continue
its eruption for a month.
MESSAGES POUR IN.
Tokio. Jan. 17. Messages of sympa
thy with Japanese in connection with
the recent disaster in the south are
pouring in from all parts of the world
and especially from America and

Secretarv of State Bryan have sent

Great Lagoon Before Palace of Fine Arts at the
Pananiai-Pa Int
Copyright, 1913, by the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
WORK has been commenced upon what promises to be one of the most beautiful and picturesque features
of the landscape englneerln ; of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco. It is
the lagoon in front of the Pilace of Fine Arts.
This lagoon will be mad) in semblance of one of the lovely mountain lakeletg of California and will
have little about it to suggest the hand of man, as It will bo natural and wild, with no such things as bridges, bal
ustrades or other artificial structures. The atmosphere of the wilderness will pervade 1L and It will be a refresh
ing spot for thoso who have been threading the formal avenues and traversing the magnificent exhibit palaces of
the Exposition.
The lagoon will be 800 feet long, bat with varying width, like the lakes of which it will be a replica. Natural
rocks and bowlders will be placed In It, as well as a few little Islets In its northern end. The rocks will be mossy
and fern-clad. Creeping vines will trail here and there, while weeping willows, Monterey cypress, Italian cypress
and other shrubbery peculiar to waterways will be planted along the shores. Water lilies and other marine plants
will rest upon its surface.
On the western shore there will be a large rotunda, from which there will be passageways to the Palace of
Fine Arts. This rotunda will be surrounded by thick shrubbery and wild plants to produce an effect of antiquity,
some part being overgrown with thick vegetation, the whole suggesting the ruins of old Panama City, destroyed
by Morgan and his pirates In the sixteenth century, which still stand not far from the canal the completion of
which the Exposition will celebrate.
The lagoon will be a characteristic bit of California scenery, and It has even been suggested that specimens
of California fish, such as steel head, trout, salmon, bass and others, be released in the lagoon to add to Its wilder
ness effect. Swans will glide on the water.
MUTTON FAMINE
IS PREDICTED
Editor of Chicago Livestock
World Asserts Reckless Mar
keting Forecasts Scarcity.
TAKES ISSUE ON COST
I Timid Growers Rush Sheep to
Market Prices Are
Demoralized.
Salt Lake City, Jan. 17 The work
of the United States bureau of ani-
mal industry va- described by Dr.
j R A Ramsay chief of field inspec
tion of the Agricultural department,
before the National Wool Growers'
association convention here today.
The speaker laid emphasis upon the
value of proper breeding in order that
the flock masters might compete sue
cessfully in an open market.
The conention was to end late
today with the election of officers
and the selection of the place ot
meeting for next year.
J. E. Poole, editor of the Chicago
Livestock World, in an address to the
delegates, asserted that the reckless
I marketing of live lambs In the west
was going to cause a mutton famine.
During the next five years, he said,
the scarcity would become acute.
Mr. Poole said that for the last
five yeafs the west had been market
I lng ewe lambs in the same reckless
manner as it sent heifer calves to the
butcher . from 1900 to 1010 Good
authorities, lie said estimate that
eighty per cent of the ewe flocks of
the west are over aged and that a bad
winter would scatter their carcasses
i over the ranges, thus precipitating a
j mutton scarcity that, in any event,
I cannot long bo delayed.
"One short lamp crop." said Mr.
Poole, "would put both lamb and
mutton In the same category as lob
ster and terrapin ."
Takes Issue With Magazines.
Mr. Poole took Issue with certain
magazine writers who have minimiz
ed the cost of raising sheep and who
have, he asserted, erroneously snld
that the Western sheep raiser had an
easy time of it, that sheep on the
ranges required no shelter, that na
ture had done everything in the pro
vision of food supplv for the sheep,
and that the government had done
much to help nature in heaping bene
fits on the sheep grower.
"An organization composed of meat
retailers, has enunciated, somewhat
persistently, the same chimera, "said
Mr. Poole "During the compilation
of the present tariff bill its represen
tatives made themselves distinctly
audible In Washington demanding
that the western grower be deprived
of his 'bonanza' by legislative enact
ment and the markets of the United
States thrown open to the producers
of the world. Admit Canadian sheep
and South American nnd Australian
frozen mutton, they clamored, and
cheap meat will be assured.
"But results show that this measure
merely defeated the object aimed at.
Instead of increasing prospective sup
ply, it precipitated liquidation of a
wholesale character. Both east and
west of the Missouri River timid
growers, needlessly alarmed at
threats of invasion of the domestic
market by Canadian sheep and frozen
mutton from the Antipodes sacrificed
their holdings
Demoralizing of Prices.
All through the summer of 191U a
procession of breeding stock trooped
to the stock yards, glutting the mar
ket and demoralizing prices, until at
the inception of the'free trade era the
native sheep Industry had been al
most as effectively crippled as it was
by the Wilson bill of the eighties
Meanwhile Canada, instend of miti
gating the consumer's condition, has
been actually purchasing mutton in
the United States as 75 per cent of
the sheep killed In western Canadian
provinces last year were grown south
ol the International boundary.
"Cheap abundant foreign mutton
has proved an iridescent dream and
all of the free traders have accom
plished is to put a crimp in domestic
production
"A prediction not open to serious
dispute is that mutton.fjlpply is dl
niinishlng and constrfhptlort increasing
all the world qver. For years the
process of liquidation has been In
full swing both in North and So ith
America.
"In the United States a production
condition has been reached where the I
east Is dependent for at least nine
months of the year either on sheep
and lambs finished west of the Mis
souri River or bred there and finish
ed on a short grain feed In the corn
belt. Dogs and Free Trade.
"Outside Kentucky, Tennessee and
Virginia the native sheep industrv, in
contradistinction of western bred
stock, no single state is capable of
furnishing the country with mutton
a single day. Between disease, dogs
and the free trade theorists the na
tive sheep industry, a term popu
larly used east of the Missouri River,
has been crippled, with scant prospect
of early recuperation.
"During the last year especially a
gratifying increase in consumption of
aged mutton was noticed. The cost
has increased the world over In
such great restaurant centers as Chi
cago and New York this comparative
ly cheap and excellent food has been
introduced with signal success by the
simple method of preparing it in pal
atable form. The English mutton
chops Is nowr a standard article on
restaurant menu cards where it was
unknown but recently. Already the
effect of increased demand is 6een
In a narrowing of distinction between
sheep nnd lambs and recent drastic
liquidation of the wether flock of the
West will have the effect of emphaa
Izing this."
Would Stone False Prophets.
"In biblical days false prophets
were stoned to death If such heroic
treatment were meeted out in these
modem times the market centers of
the United States would be llttoro.l
with the corpses of discredited price
forecasters. At the inception of 1914,
however, the market horizon is far
from overcast.
"Dearth and high cost of beef has
given mutton, especially lambs good
standing at the market and if these
meats are available at a cost any
where within the reach of the con
sumer demand will Increase rather
than abate. A decade ago neither
lamb nor mutton were articles of gen
eral consumption west of the Alle
ghenies, but every meat shop in every
hamlet of the Mississippi Valley now
displays It in the carcass at nil seasons.

New York, N. Y., Jan. 17. The loss
of the British submarine boat A-7,
with Its crew of eleven men. In White
sand bay near Plymouth, EnglanJ,
calls attention to the heavy loss of
life sustained since these diving bjaii
have been attached to the great na
vies of the world:
Submarine accidents in the differ
ent navies have caused the loss of
more than 200 lives during the last
ten years. Collisions and explo:ons
on board and the inrush of water
through the open ports have been
the common causes of these mishaps.
The navies of France, Great Britain
and Russia have been the principal
sufferers in the number of lives lost.
In five serious accidents France has
lost eighty-two officers and men,
Great Britain, whose submarines have
given that country the most serious
trouble, has lost seventy-seven men.
The American navy has had a few,
submarine accidents, but the loss of
life was small, compared to these
which have befallen the French and
British navies.
