Pictures illustrating a recent (official inspection of Wellington's harbour lights ! make another very interesting page, while the scenery of the beautiful Lake Districts of Otago is well portrayed in a series of views taken on the track from Manapouri to Deep Cove. Interesting pictures, too, are those in connection with | the Public Works' drainage Scheme at Kaitaia, North Auckland, where approximately 25,000 acres of swamp land is gradually being developed into valuable farming areas.
