You cannot polte a stick into the around without start- ing a trolling spring. and wherever you turn the ground is fairly alive with geysers of boiling water-:steam jets and blowholes. with quivering vol- canoes and gurgling "mud pots." all colored fantastitally with rainbow hues ranging front brilliant sapphire to Iivid scarlet. Stranger still the entire face of this region is constantly changing in shape and color. and there are hot springs here. stretching in a continuous chain for 300 miles. The ground throbs and quivers with vol- canic activity. and set in the midst of it all are native Maori villages of sur- passing interest.

The native women. gorgeous in gar- ments of crimson, green and purple, are forever puffing stolidly at big pipes and going hither and thither about their household work with the qualntiest of babies‘ slung across their backs. This reminds me that domes- tic work in this strange region Is made light indeed for white house wives as well as the Maori women Every garden and back yard has Its hot water provided by nature. And when these easy going people grow hungry the mother prepares a meat pudding or a joint and drops It into a convenient pot of natural boiling water in the earth, and in a few minutes it is cooked. The same conveniences are still more in evi- dence on washing day.

ANOTHER DRAFT OF UTILITIES BILL (Continued from First Page.) eludes under the supervision of the public utilities commission construc- tion companies and holding companies. It aims. so far as possible. to keep the proposed commission out of politics by making undu‘e political activity one of the grounds of removal. It raises the number of the commissioners from three to fire. It adds the power to prescribe what shall be reasonable service. Third—It differs widely III certain \'IllII and fundamental aspects from the measure reported by the majority of the committee. 'I‘ht1 minority bill provides for the appointment of the commissioners up- on nortrlnatiort by the governor and confirmation by the general assembly: the majority bill reguires for confirma- tion only the consent of the senate. The minority bill gives to the cone mission like powers over railroad and street railway companies to those ex- ercised over other public service com- panies; the majority bill leaves this class of utilities undisturbed. The minority hill gives to the cone mission power to Investigate and pre- scribe rates and service: the Itilijorll)‘ bill omits all reference to rates. The mlnoritv hill gives to the com mission ptlvter to investigate the hoops arty IOIIIDHII) wheneter necessary for the public Interest; the majority bill gives only the most restricted anti ambiguous powers, Ill this respect. The minority hill empowers the com» mission to order changes of equipment in the interest of public safety. and the safety of employee: the IIIaJrII‘iiy bill makes Ito so. it provision. The minority bill requires reports concerning all lighting plants: the ma jorlty bill exempts lighting plants on erutetl by railroads.
