NEW WARM LAKE
PHENOMENON NEAR RUAPEHU. A small lake,, two miles from Karioi and eight miles from Ohakune, in the direction of Ruapehu, has developed thermal activity during the last few months. Formerly it was an exceptionally cold lake, but it has now become warm, and the water, formerly quite clear, has become cloudy, evidently as a result of thermal activity foelow. Anglers who have been in -the habit of fishing for trout apparently were the first to discover the change. The lake, which is a fow miles from the last of the crater lakes, is oval in shape, with a width of about a quarter of a pule, and is exceedingly beautiful, being wooded to the edges.
