CHANGES IN NEW ZEALAND


More rapid changes In animal and
vegetable life are taking place in New
Zealand than almost anywhere in the
world. The native Polynesian race .is
disappearing before the European; the
native wild animals amount to little in
contests with the imported species,
many Of. which now run wild; the
streams are full Of American |. and
European trout, which attain an enor-
NOUS size, and even the forests are
being replaced BY the planting Of for.
eign trees as the native ones disap-
pear.
Eleven million larches, oaks,
spruces, Douglas mrs and eucalyptus
have already been planted and vast
numbers Of seedlings are coming in all
the time. The reason for replacing
the native trees with species from the
United States, Europe and Australia ID
| that those Of New Zealand afe too
slow Of growth, although some Of them
produce excellent timber. The implan.
rtations thriye everywhere. si5

Orange, N. .J.-AIrs. Barker Pierson
OF 3 Elizabeth street, almost collapsed
recently when she opened her door in
response to ring and saw a short,
dark complexioned man whose hair
was beginning to turn gray. She rec
ognized him at once and barely could
hear him address her because Of the
sudden roaring In her ears that seemed
an echo Of the tumult In her brain.
He was Charles loops. her first hus-
band, whom she believed had been in
his grave for more than 10 years. Dim
~ she comprehended that he was
asking for the address of their son,
Adrian. now eighteen gears old, who is
In the navy. The startled woman
heard herself responding mechanically
to the question.
Was Great Shock
The appariti0n leaned comfortably
against the porch railing and asked
her something else. What 1t was, Mrs.
Pierson does not know to this hour.
The full significance Of this mans re-
turn in the flesh had swept over her
with his casual assumption Of an ease
full pose on her front steps. Sudden
recollection Of the five-year-old boy
who was playing In the room behind
her and Of the husband who soon
would return from work smote her,
and the shock was SO great that she
suffered when her eyes lighted on the
small, dark-featured man before her.
Without another word to him, she
turned on her heel and shut the door.
She tottered to her bed and could
scarcely speak when Mr.. Piers0n,

dropped back exhausted on the bunk
on which she had been sitting. Old
Jim covered her with a blanket, then
retired to his own bunk, tagged from

About midnight Mildred awoke. A
kerosene lamp on the table threw
strange shadows, as the flame waxed
and waned. An occasional moan
from her father showed he was still
alive. Motionless beside the bunk sat
Bert.
