THERMAL ENERGY
I BIG OUTBREAK PREDICTED. ' A VULCANOLOGIST'S VIEWS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, May 9. Professor Pereival, vulcanologist, of Freiburg University, who as returning to Germany, predicts a big blow-up in New Zealand, perhaps more .destructive than the famous Tarawera eruption. The volcanic energy in New Zealand, he said, was along a line of fault running ifrom the middle of the Bay of Plenty across the ]S T orth Island from north-east to soitth-south-west. He noticed a great increase in activity at Rotorua since his visit in 1897. From this, with other indications, he deduced that an outbreak was likely. He declared that if the magnetic pull operated :over .that region an eruption woulu occur. Tarawera was the safety-vah-f: for that area. The crater of Tarawera -was filled up, and it was probably finally extinct. There must, however, be a vent for. the volcanic energy, and it was impossible to say where and when it would break forth.
