A large tract of raupo swamp land on the seaward side of Buller Lake, Levin, was fired oil Thursday afternoon week, and blazed till a late hour (says the “Mnnnwatu Standard”). Just before sunset a heavy smoke screen drifted along the north-western horizon and acted as a natural protection to the eyes of the hundreds of people viewing the eclipse, which was then at its most interesting phase, the phenomenon being observed by numbers with the naked eye without injurious effect.

When playing hide-and-seek. many are the curious (daces into which children cram themselves in order to evade the seeker. The parents of a little girl in Tiinaru received a violent shock a few days ago when, during a game of hide-and-seek, a little child disappeared. A diligent search was being made when the mother heard a sound of faint scratching, which came from inside a tin trunk. On looking therein, the child was found in a state of collapse, almost suffocated. The little one had got into the trunk, and in lotting the lid down the catch had caught, holding her prisoner. The child had been in the trunk for over two hours before being released.

The offer of the management of “ The Rendezvous ” to supply free ice ereums to children on Thursday afternoon was fully taken advantage of, the newly improved premises being thronged for several hours by youngsters eager to obtain the free offering. Many of them did not fail to doublebank, and the helpers in the rooms were kept busy handing out the coveted delicacy. Sonic amusement was caused during the proceedings by the antics of a well-known civic authority, and his neighbour, who both waddled up to the counter almost on hands and knees so as to take advantage of the free offering. Some “ k'd ” they were, lint a second attempt was only rewarded by a lump of ice that gave a cold shudder, hut no other satisfaction. The taste of one ice cream did not satisfy many of the patrons, and the staff were kept busy, a slight indication of the future business that will result when the real summer weather (nines. The additions and improvements made to “ The Rendezvous ” as the ice cream parlor will be called in future, arc made on n very generous style, and with the extensive extensions there will be added comfort and convenience for patrons. Everything is bright, cheerful and compact, the whole making a very cosy corner, where patrons can have a comfortable rest while enjoying a fruit salad, soft drink, or ice cream.
