Piruseels correspondent. "Mae borately uniformed, monocled officers stroll the atreets and flood the re- stauranbe from noon to latein the evening, whore their gastronomic feats are an insult, to the misery around. The establishments they pre- fer commandeer for their benefit thousands of kilos of floor, meat, fruit e..,‹ and vegetables, which causes a yet more abnormal rise in prices for the public. The small bourgeoisie- and working classes suffer terribly. Po- antoee cannot be bought and meat, butter and fats are far too dear for them. The worst sufferers are wo- man and children, who fill the hospit- als, exhausted by privations." - ----az-- LIGHT YIELD OF STRAW. There Is Nothing Serious in the Seed- ing Siteatioe.

The coast liners are very net generally, and the total circumference of the three main islands is 4,320 miles. The interior of New Zealand is interspersed with hills, valleys and plains, all of remarkable beauty. It has been said that both the scenery and cliroate of those fair lands resemble those of Italy and Sicily. There Is always ample rain but never superabundanoe of ltd azure Is the favorite color worn by the sky, and the islands are like emerald and gol- den gems set in the silver form of the Pacific. New Zealand Is is productive coun- try; the finest sheep and cattle are reared on the rich pastures, and oats, barley and maize are grown in abun- dance. Along the hillsides there ire rich forest, and tracts of elevated ground that are too rocky to produce vegetation that Is of commercial value never fail to grow plants that are dee lightful to the sight of man; no leo than 140 species of wild fern are to be found in New Zealand, and many of these are 40 feet in height. There are volcanoes on some of the mountains, and adown the sides of others noisy rivers take their rapid courses. Par- rots chatter merrily on the tree tops, and pigeons coo in the recesses of the woods. These are practically the only native birds. Native animals are also tew' but European birds and animels, andeven fish, have been Introduced -with success. Gold, coal, copper avd sulphur are the caief of the New Zea- land minerals. Gold was first dis- covered in 1858, and since that tinie something like $350000,000 wortk was found. Auckland is the principal gold mining area. The Canadian Austral. aslan Line has a regular service of fine passenger steamers between Auk. land City and Vancouver. Eze present the population of New Zealand Is something like 1,040,000 people, mid nearly all are of British extraction. Still there are 46,000 col- ored folks. The early inhabitants of the country were the Maori tribe; they came there In their war canoes SIR GFORCF CMF STRONG AND SANE GREAT BRITAIN'S NEW SOLICIT- OR -GENERAL. He Is a Splendid Debater, and Has Been a Tower of Strength to the Unionist Party. It was once said by Sir John Simon, at the time he was Soliciter-General, that the occupa»t of that post was really the "office boy of the Govern- ment." If that be so, the present Government have an "office boy" of very nobable dignity and remarkable abilityeas well as of somewhat mature , years. For the At. Hon. Sir George a Cave, Unionist M.P. for the Kingston division of Surrey, is one of the strongest and sanest members of. the House of Commons, and one of the very soundest lawyers at the English b He is just eixby years old—sixteen years older than his senior fellow - officer of the Crown, Sir F. E. Smith —and has been in Parliament for ten years only, From the moment he entered the House he made his mark, sequently, his speeches in criticism of the famous Lloyd George budget made a deep impreseion on the House. To -day Sir George Cave is a distinct power in Parliament—a greater power than his official posi tion of Solicitor-Geteral would :mem to indicate. A Great Lawyer, As Solicitor -General, Sir Georg Cave draws a salary of $30,000 year, with . the additional ramolemen af e lig . $45,000 a year in fees. But he probably made a /inane cial sacrifice when he accepted office , —even an office carrying with it re- muneration on so generous a scale. For he was doing literally an enor- mous heelless at the Chancery 13ar, Ind since 1913 had been what is called a 'spec a , lie tea m has a work of significance about it as regards he magnitude of the fees which the lucky special receives. In fact, he swept all before him at the bar just as he had done at Oxford, end he is recognized as perraps the most eru- dite and profound lawyer in the pro - sent II in the fourteenth century.

Now the Maori thile, dren go to school side by side with chtIdren of our Southern cousins. efaori representatives Lake their part In the government of their country. Some of the Maori people are skilled at wood -carving and dyeing; they are an imaginative race, and have delight - till poetry and tales to recite and tell. Their homes are pretty and their home life simple. New Zealand has Many thiegs in common with Canada; she is a new country rapidly developing; she le, rich; she is patriotic; she has sent thousands of brave soldiers to fight for the Empire in 'this great war. In, New Zealand there are more men than women, and it is quite likely that after the war she will be a resort for some of the superfluous ladies of the Old: Country, who, •unable to have the' opportunity of blessing soine man at home, will seek the chance of blessing one abroad. that when the famous captain return- ed to England he gave the English people a wrong impression of the place; he reported that the islands did not seem to be of lnUelt value, EdS0 that the Maine people would be a for- midable race to attempt to conquer. Anyway, for 70 years after Captain Cooke's visit the British Government did not think It worth the trouble to annex the present prond possession. ft was In 1840 that the Union Jack was Arse hotted on the shores. At that time the Maori folks numbered 65,000, The decline in the race since then is due to disease and to war, for both have played a big part In the his- tory of the Maoris, Before the Britisb came these people warred amongst themselves, and hater they warred against the British, Ilp to 1770 they knew nothing about pottery or metal, and until that period their battle in- struments were their fists, clubs and stones—they were even unaware of the existenee of bows and arrows. For themselves Dais was all the better, for sphere of closoly-packed ammalcala minxes of tunes larger than our earth. Again, take the green -fly, the pest of the rose -grower. In a day one green -fly can produce 26 others; the next day its family would numbei 625; on the third day, 15,626; and so on, until, at the end of ten days, the last generation alone would have 0 grown to thousands of quadrillions (a a number expreeeed in 29 figures), and t would outweigh 2,000 times the en- tire population of the earth to -clay. A single house -fly would, at the end of 12 mouths, have a farnily more numerous than the combined popula- tion of Scotland and Ireland; arid four yeare later its offspring would be counted in 87 figures, There would actually be millions of millions of 1 millions of flies for every square foot of the earth's surface, ;ma as well as land, If plants were permitted to multiply on simile'. lines the entire land -sur- face of the earth would soon be a dense tatgleeeof growth. If all the seeds produced by the Red Compton an a single year were allowed to grow the resulting vegetation would, at the end of ten years, cover the whole earth to a Math of many miles. A single induetrious codfish will lay from 8,000,000 to 9,000,000, eggs at a e time, of which, happily, but few sur- vive. It,.however, every egg produc- ed a 'fish, every fish were allowed to live and breed at the normal rate, the family of the original perent would, at the end of theee years, numb; roughly a million times the population of the United Eingdom; and would in- crease at such a, rata that, before many years had passed, the sea would be a sqlid mass of codfieh. A pair of birds may produce in a year as many as twenty or morel young ones. Let us take, as a very, modest average, n family of ten, and, cellow the ten and their descendants to breed and keep their young. In fif- teen years the pment heeds would, have a peavey of one thousand bil- lions, courting the last generation, only—a number snfficient to stroteh a solid pelt of birds over the whole of, the United Kingdom 1,000 feet in thickness. ,1which was tied around my body eves sixty-five feet long, so I had to jump that distance into the void before the box containing the parachute could open and set it free.
