THE PREDICTED "BLOW-UP."
It was vei*y unkind of a German Professor to go over to Sydney aaid flood the newspapers of that city with pessimistic utterances concerning t probabilities of a volcanic burst-up in New Zealand, oil the eve of the Auckland Exhibition. Our /northern friends have been "boosting" their big shows with a zeal that would do credit to America, and it was a cruel thing for Professor Percival ti, create alarm in the minds of Australians, when there was absolutely no occasion for it. The thermal regions have been emitting quite a lot of steam of late,- amd there is no evidence, other tlian the periodical outbursts of natural "gas," that the neighbourhood of the exhibition build iiigs will be involved in any serious volcanic action.
