Money Under Water The diving skill of the Maori children at Whakarewarewa village gives them a good deal of loose change, and tho most active of them can make several shillings in a busy afternoon. But it has often been conjectured how much money thrown into the water is Hot recovered by the children. A clue to this was given recently after a fresh in the stream. On such an occasion, the money lying in the bed is SAvept into tAvo deep crevices, and only an experienced adult swimmer can remain under water long enough to recover it. From this source one man last week recovered £l7 8s and another over £5. Most of this was in pennies.
