SECOND LARGEST
LAKE. LIES BEYOND.
Beyond It lies TIE Anau, tht second larg-
est lake of the Dominion, and at TIE
Anau's head begins Milford Track, which
New Zealanders have named "the most
beautiful walk in the world" 1t takes
three days to pass through the noun
tains, the valleys, the forests to Milford
Sound, and the trip, any time between
November and April, when the track is
free from snow, is one succession OF
scenic beauty. One the track are huts
maintained by the government for the
care of travellers, who may find at them
food and beds.
Milford Sound is well worth the toll
involved in getting there. 1t Is hedged
in by mountains, some Of them 5000 feet
high, around whose tops the mists al
ways are playing and down the sides
Of which great cataracts and cascades
tumbel into the sound. The other sounds
cannot equal Milford, and only ten of
them are frequently visited by travellers.
Stretching north from the sounds along
the western coast are the snow-capped
Southern Alps OF them Mount Cook,
which the Maoris call Aorangi the cloud
piercer, is the most imposing. For
many years the New Zealand Alps have
attracted those with a desire for noun
taineering from all parts of the world
because they are not cluttered up with
tourists ard amateurs and because some
of the heights are more difficult to sur
mount than famous mountains of the Old
World They present from their peaks
the strange sight Of forest and sea on
one side and grassy plains on the other.
OF all the glaciers in the Alps the most
spectacular is Tasman glacier, river OF
frozen snow, into which half a dozen ice
streams seem to flow. Its surface
presents dangerous assures and
avalanches are frequent.
Still farther north are tina passes which

The inventor Of the steam boiler AMI
engine in the truck is Fred Hamilton,
president and chief engineer Of the Alena
Steam Products Company, who worked
on the invention for two or three years
prior to the world war. During the
war he was an aeronautical mechanic
engineer at the Speedway, and at the
close Of the war resumed his work on
perfecting the steam engine and boiler.

MOUNTAIN RISES
FROM FLAT PLAIN.
North of the town of Wanganui, in the
TaranaEi district. Mount Egmont, $500
feet high, stands In an otherwise flat
plain. 1t is a beautiful volcanic cone,
now dead. whose location IN that peculiar
spot is accounted for by the Maoris in q
characteristic legend. 1t has long been
a Maori custom to regard some noun
tains as male and some as female and

to marry" them. Egmont 50 the legend
runs, fell in love with the wife" Of an
other mountain The lady mountain
seems to have been a perfectly dutiful
wife and told her husband OF Egmont 3
advances. Thereupon husband and wife
belched forth lava and stone and show

At the south end Of the west coast Of
the South Island are the fourteen sounds,
arms OF the sea stretching inland from
six to twenty-five miles. OF which Mil
ford Sound is the chief attraction All
of them are deep hollows excavated out
of the island by glaciers ia days gone
by and their walls are so steep that
they are virtually unclimbable and trees
grow to their very edge.
In the days before the war the gov
eminent tourist bureau capitalized the
sounds by running steamers into them
frequently. Today, once a year n supply

lighthouses erected to keep mariners away
from the dangerous coast. The only way
the traveller can reach them now is by

sulphuric acid on it. And suddenly,
hours later, it began to spout. What was
the reason? The Maoris say, and some
scientists agree with them, that the fat

Why not, when other geysers can be
made TO play by dropping soap shaVings
down their mouths? And when they
won't play unless they are soaped? There
are several such geysers in the Rororua
district. but it is feared that constant
soaping for the edifcation of tourists
may ultimately exhaust the geysers so
now they can be soaped only with Gov

STRANGE LAND IS

Perhaps none Of the volcanic wonders
Of New Zealand is stranger than White
Island, twenty seven miles from the
mainland in the Bay of Plenty. 1t has a
rocky and inhospitable shore, and only
when the sea Is very culm and the wind
is not blowing can a landing be made

other volcanoes that display activity

may erupt and repeat the scenes which
followed Tarawera's outbreak. They
are Ruapehu, ais feet high, with
glaciers on its upper slopes and a hot
crater lake, and NgaurehOe. youngest OF
them all from whose summit, 1915 feet
high, there always are issuing little
clouds Of steam and sulphuric acid
fumes.
There are many lakes in the NORTH

them all Lake Taupa. the largest lake fl

principally for the excellent fishing
which It affords and for the cliffs which
hem It in, mile after mile, on its western
