THE TANIWHA'S REVENGE.
A correspondent has written asking for more information about the Special Essay Competition, " Th© Waikato Taniwha's Revenge." Well, I suppose every boy and girl knows that Taniwha is the Maori mythical monster who lives in the deep rivers. When the Arapuni dam was built, the white man defied Taniwha, turned the course of the Waikato, and left the water-dragon high and dry.

That is the subiect for the vivid imagination# of our young readers.
