VOLCANIC ACTIVITY.
According to the Taupo correspondent of .the Auckland He raid, writing one clay last week, the mountains have been Hniisually active for several clays, nearly every known volcanic vent showing itself. Ruapehu is omitting a dark smoke, which is a great contrast to its snow covering, as also to the lighter nature of Ngauruhoe's steam. Te Mare has exhibited its double column, and Ketitahi its, single white above the latter. It is very apparent that the. red crater on the summit of Tongariro is joining in the display. One afternoon Ngauruhoe sent up a vast column of steam to an estimated height of fully lOOOfti which eventually took a downward course; obscuring the view of fclio tipper portion of the mountains.
