THERMAL ACTIVITY.
WHAKAREWAREWA GEYSERS. FINE DISPLAYS BY POHUTU. SHOT 100 FEET IN HEIGHT. [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.'] ROTORUA, Friday. The geyser Pohutu has been very active during the last few days. On Thursday the first display was particularly fine, rising to about 100 ft. The geyser gave three beautiful displays on this day. The Cauldron, which always precedes Pohutu, also was very active, sending large volumes of water and steam to a height of 20ft. and over. There were two fine shots to-day. The Waikorohihi, a smaller geyser whicl) lies in between the old Wairoa geyser and Pohutu, has also been unusually active, playing for three weeks past. It has not done this for years. The whole of the Whakarewarewa geyser area is very interesting at present.
