Trip to ! '.I'liliinil,
Hut llrst let mo tell you something about
New Zealand. To most of you It Is a dead
land In a dead part of tho globe. To ono
on tho ground It Is much alive and moving
along on tho lightning express of our so
called civilization.
Tho country Ib not bo fur uwny, after all.
It Is now only eighteen days from Son
Francisco, only about forty duyu from Lon
don nod it has lines of nlcumcrs connecting
It with nil parts or tho globe. It hua regular
vessels which go to London by the Capo of
Good Hopo, others which steam there by tho
Suez canal and others still which make tho
trip via South America, passing through tho
Straits of Magellan. You can go on tho Pe
ninsular & Oriental line from Wellington to
London, taking tho Union steamship Hue to
Sydney, for $2(10 ami upwind, or there nnd
hack for $350. Tho trip Is around thu bottom
of Australia, thence to Ceylon. Aden, tho
Suez canal und across the Mediterranean to
Gibraltar and on to London.
Via South America the cost Is about the
same, und you will cull ut Puuta Arenas
on tho Straits of Magellan, Montevideo and

turns It to rainbows. Tho sun is low nnd
the rainbows extend nt right nngles out
from tho ship. Thoy nro so close Hint you
