According to the “ Japan Times ” of January 6th, the destitution in the famine-stricken districts of that country is awfnl, and there is a great cry going up for relief. Shibata township, in Mivagi province, is one of the worst afflicted districts, the crop being five per cent of an average crop. Even with the help of the provincial authorities and the Central Government, all the needy cannot be helped. “This year’s rice, nuts. I’nots and bark.” writes the “Japan Times,” “will not last three months. Then the snow comes, and there is no word, so that many will die cF starvation or of diseases brought on the poor food that no human being ought to eat."

Christchurch Truth is moved t' sarcasm it me co lapse of the Exhibition tower We understand, it says, that collapsible towers Will be one of the features of the International Exhibition. The two rehear-als which have been held so far have gone off magnificently. Friday’s function was a thrilling crash, which, as a spectacle, would have been quite worth the liberal entrance lee Which W<3 Understand is to be charged to the Exhibition, if it had only lasted longer. The contractors really ought to try and make it last longer next time. It would add to the realism of the attraction if a large crowd Swere invited to pass up and down the open space in front of the building, which is apparently reserved for things to fall On. Have the Executive so far discussed the question ot charging admission to the tower? If s>, we respectful'y suggest that in order to popularise the feature, each ticket should have an insurance policy across the back of it, entitling the holder's heirs to £IOOO if anything happened while he (or she) remained within the precincts of (he ricketty concern. Finally, we would suggest to the Executive that it should reserve any further accidents of this sort until after the opening day. If this kind of thing happens much offerer the sight will get so stale to Christchurch people that they wont bother to cross the road to see it.
