We wore eager to visit Rotorua for All these reasons, but ospe- olally to renew acquaintance with Rene, the .• famous IVIaori guide., who. is as well known in New Zealand as Ned Kelly is in Australia, but for better 'rea- son, She's a sparkling person- ality , • Rangi showed us her treasures, Including her autograph book signed by many celebrities, and the splendid wood carvings done for her by her grand dad in his old days. Then she said, "I'll cook lunch" Taking a dozen cobs of sweet corn she put them into a flax bag, and lowered the bag with a string into a hot water rock pool in her garden. She tied the string to a peg, and left the corn to simmer in the pool. • "There he blows!" said Rangi suddenly, pointing to a plume of steam in the distance, where Pohutu Geyser was putting on his act with a muffled rumble. "Now come and see Whaka village," suggested Rangi. She led the way by a wooden foot- bridge over a running stream, where Maori boys were enter- taining a group of tourists by diving for pennies, thrown into the water by tourists. The boys were go-getters, "Throw silver coins," they urged. "We can't see the copper under water!" ,. . . "Now we'll see the Frog Pond!" announced Rangi. We followed her into the steamy thermal area, and heard giant frogs croaking in the mist. Had again! The croaking3sound was only the bubbling of steam escaping, with a "phut phut" noise, from a devil's cauldron of boiling mud.. . . The mud boils up into domes, then the frog croaks, the steam escapes, and the mud subsides, to form ephemeral patterns, lazily wavering to form more bubble and croak upthrusts of the vis- cous crust of the mud. "These ponds are so fascinat- ing," remarked Rangi, "that some people stand looking at vied' for hours, and forget all about their corn being cooked at home." . . . "Time for lunch!" announced Rangi. We dodged among the geysers, fumaroles, mudholes, and drifting-Clouds of steam where Rangi fished the corn cobs from the hot rock pool, done to perfection. The boiled corn-on-the-cob was succulent. Maize was' not a traditional Polynesian food. It' was introduced by the pakehas, as "Indian corn" from America, ' but is nowadays a hot favorite among the Maoris. When Rangi's ancestors ar- rived in. the Land of the Long White Cloud, they brought cut- tings --of Kumara {sweet pota- toes) with 'them, which they planted in gardens tilled with wooden spades: They ate fish and birds ' ' berries, fern roots, and shoots, and the pith of tree ferns. — From "Roaming Round New Zealand," by Frank Chine.

They could not. Although everything point- ed to him as the master-mind behind these numerous "rare" pamphlets, there was no direct proof, And Wise? He said very little and then pleaded sickness when invited to go into details. He died without admitting the frauds, but by the day of his death his guilt was no longer in doubt. , HOOP-DE-DO-Pattycake seems to have replaced basketball' for the moment in Madison Square Garden.

The rocket- launching figure, entitled "To the Stars", was created by Rus- sian sculptor Postnikov. Photo and caption material were re- ceived from an official Soviet source, Thomas 3. Wise was a master forger. But he never stood in the dock of a criminal court. Throughout a long life he achieved international fame and made a fortune as the greatest authority on rare books and pamphlets of his time. He belonged to learned socie- ties, hobnobbed with great schol- ars and American millionaires. Oxford University conferred up- on him the rare distinction of an honorary degree of Master of Arts, ,and the equally rare dis- tinction of an honorary fellow- ship of Worcester College. Only when he had reached the peak of his fame were the sys- tematic frauds revealed which toppled Thomas J. Wise off his high pedestal. How did his amazing career of crime begin? In 1885 a society, was formed • in memory of the poet Shelley. Its members included some of the most celebrated literary men of the day, and there was only one who had no claim to dis- tinction. This exception was a chubby, ruddy-facedvrnan of twenty-five Torn Wise, a city oil merchant's clerk. Though obscure' and in trade, young Wise showed a tre- mendous interest in the Shelley Society and, very soon took a leading part in ,the preparation of famsimile copies of Shelley pamphlets for members. Such "copies" have a senti- mental interest for the admirers of a famous poet, but no com- mercial value. And the fact that they are only copies is stated on them. Torn Wise hit upon a billiant scheme which side-stepped the problems of imitating a rare existing pamphlet, by manufac- turing a new one with a faked date. Thus a forged pamphlet could not be compared by the expert with any original, since no or- iginal existed. And there was a very real financial. advantage if the swindle was worked clev- erly. Here is an example of how, when he had become rich and famous as the greatest authority on rare books and the builder of one of the finest private 11- bl'aries in the World, Thomas Wise, M.A., was carrying on se- cret deals in faked nineteenth- century pamphlets. How Can I? and a pound of maple sugar. Cook until a soft ball is formed when dropped in water; flavour with vanilla, add a cup of pe- cans, or other nuts, and pour out on a greased pan to cool. Mark off in, squares before it becomes too hard. Q. How can. I Mend wo,rn or torn galoshes? A. Use black or tan adhesive tape as a mending tissue. It is easy to apply and will hold securely if the work is care- fully done. Q. How can I remove ink spots from paper? A. By applying a solution of muriate of tin with a soft brush. When the "stain disappears, rinse, and then dry the paper carefully, Q. How can I smooth a scuf- - fed• place in the leather of a. shoe? A When you discover a piece of loose leather on a scuffed shoe, do not tear it off. Apply a little liquid nail polish, paste it down' securely, shine the shoe, and the place will never be no- ticeable. Q. When separating yolks from whites of eggs, and a part of the yolk is ropped into the white, how can I remove it? A. Moisten a cloth with cold water, touch to the yolk, and it will adhere to it. Q. How can I remove black- heads front the face? A. Try washing the' face sev- eral times a day with warm water and castile soap. Rinse in cold water. Q. How can I remove fruit stains, and also ink stains, from linen? A. One effective method is to hold it over the furies of a small piece of burning sulphur. This should be done immediately. Do not fail to dampen the linen be- fore igniting the sulphur. lea printed in a pamphlet dated 1847. The value of the first edi- tion was thus destroyed and his own pamphlet greatly increased in value. No one, of course, suspected the great 'Wise of fraud! In the early and middle nine- teenth century there was a gold- mine for the forger who could hoodwink the American collec- tor. Wise, secure in his place as a leading expert, and by now a wealthy man, had easy, pick- ings to placate his greed for yet more money, So great was his authority that no one ever questioned a' pamphlet or rare book if Wise endorsed it as genuine. One . American banker, Mr. 3. H. Wrenn, invested in Wise's faked pamphlets on a large scale, thousands of pounds changing hands. Though the 'main bulk of Wise's frauds were of faked nineteenth - century pamphlets, once, at least, he faked a com- plete book. , In 1887 there appeared a new edition of Shelley's poems edit- ed by Charles Alfred Seymour, member of the Philadelphia His- torical Society. Thirty copies, for private circulation only. 'What could make a more di- rect appeal to the rich Ameri- can collector? The thirty copies soon found purchasers at fancy prices and Went on to the book- shelves of famous American li- braries, An additional bait for the rich buyer was a number of love sonnets written by Shelley for his first wife, Harriet, and nev- er intended to be seen by other eyes. Where did Thomas Wise come in on this fraud? The answer is simple. He took the name Charles Alfred Seymour and in- vented the Philadelphia Histori- cal Society. Another method used by Wise was to buy at auction the letters of the famous dead and from them have printed fraudulent pamphlets appropriately pre- dated to deceive: Strangely enough, Wise was a fraud and genuine at the same For example, he really loved rare and,beautiful books. In his home on Crouch Hill, North London, he had built up a mag- nificent library named after the road in which he lived, the Ash- ley Library. He permitted no fakes to go on to his own bookshelves, and when he made a catalogue of this great` library it ran to ele- ven volumes, beautifully illus- trated and with notes on each item reveling Wise's vast know- ledge of his subject, And yet this was the niari who also trafficked for years in forg7 cries and fratidnient pamphlets!
