VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
The Taupo correspondent of the A uckland Herald writes :—The mountains have been unusually active for several days, nearly every known volcanic vent showing itself. Ruapehu is emitting a dark smoke, which is a great contrast to its snow covering, as also to the lighter nature of Ngaurnhoe's steam. Te Mare has exhibited its doublo column, and Ketitehi its single white above the latter. It is very apparent that the red crater on the summit of Tongariro is joining in the display. This afternoon Ngauruhoe sent up a vast column of steam to an estimated height of fully a thousand feet, which eventually took a downward course, obscuring tho view of the upper portion of the mountains.
