Beauties of New Zealand.

“ Tell England ” is the enthusiastic advice of an English doctor visiting New Plymouth, concerning tourist attractions in New Zealand, states the “ Taranaki Herald.” The doctor is frankly amazed at the wealth of scenic beauties accessible to the tourist in New Zealand, and is equally surprised that these are not made known to intending travellers. “ Where your tourist bureau in London fails," he said, “ is that it is only made use of by people who have already made up their minds to come to New Zealand. Intending tourists have to seek out information about New Zealand. Thus they usually travel to countries whose tourist attractions have been so well advertised that they are a matter of common knowledge. Particularly striking to a doctor, however,” he stated, “is the healthiness of the people. I have not met with any example of the look of semi-starvation common in the English industrial centres. This I attribute to the open-air life and abundance of good food available.”
