It will take some time to print, and consequently may not he presented to Parliament for a week or ten days. The member ol Parliament who is most interested in its contents is undoubtedly Mr Lysnar. Lord Burnham, in the course of mi interview, said the visit of the delegates to New Zealand had been full of interest. The round trip at Rotorua had been most fascinating to anyone who had attempted to get any knowledge of geographical formations, and the proceses ol nature in the I urination of the earth. It was extraordinary to see exactly these tones at work. Nobody could help feeling a thrill of wonder in -going over the crater lake at Rotomahana, and over Tarnwera. It was also curious to stand on the very spot at the AYaiinaiigu geyser where people so recently lost their lives, and to see. so to sneak tin* great machinery of nature still at work. Speaking with reference to the A\aitoimi caves. Lord Burnham said the whole party were iiunieiiseley deligthed with what they had seen. The finest and most extraordinary was the cavern of tho glow worms. None of them, not even those most widely travelled, had seen anything else like it in any part of the world. "Last year when 1 was in South Africa 1 saw the Kyiisna caves, which are supposed to lie the biggest in the world, and undoubtedly have magnificent effects ill stallactif.es and the usual limestone formations, but they have no glow worm cave of any kind. I consider this glow worm cave of AYaitonio to he one oi the sights of the world, and of great interest to scientists as well as to ordinary people.’’ Now arriving, a large consignment of choice cooking and fancy stunner apples in splendid condition.
