Zealand's greatest tour- ist attraction, the Thermal Re- gion. of .Lake Rotorua and its surrounding district,.is famous for four reasons: its mountain gcenery, its hot springs, its Maori villiages, and Rangi. We were eager to visit Rotorua for all these reasons, but espe- cially to renew acquaintance with Rangi, the famous' Maori guide, who is as well known in New Zealand as Ned Kelly is in Australia, but. for a better rea- won. She's a sparkling person- ality... Rangi showed us her treasures, including her autograph book signed by many celebrities, and the splendid wood carvings done for her by her grand dad in his eld days. Then she said, "I'll cook Yunch" Taking a dozen cobs of sweet corn she put them into a flax bagy and lowered the bag with a string into a hot water rock pool in her garden. She tied the string to a peg, and left the €orn to simmer in the pool. "There he blows!" said Rangi suddenly, pointing to a plume of steam in the distance, where Pohutu Geyser was putting on his act with a muffled rumble. "Now come and see Whaka village," 'suggested Rangi. She Jed the way by a wooden foot- bridge over a running stream, where Maori boys were enter- taining a group of tourists~ by diving for pennies, thrown into the water by tourists. The boys were go-getters. "Throw silver coins," they urged. "We can't see the copper under water!" "Now we'll see the Frog announced Rangi. We followed her into the thermal area, and heard giant frogs croaking in the mist. Had again! The croaking sound was only the bubbling of steam escaping, with a "phut phut' noise, from a devil's cauldron of boiling mud.... The mud boils up into domes, then the frog croaks, the steam - @scapes, and the mud subsides, to form ephemeral patterns, lazily wavering to form more bubble and croak upthrusts of the vis- cous crust of the mud. "These ponds are so fascinat- ing," remarked Rangi, "that gome people stand. looking at © them for hours, and forget all about their corn being cooked at home." ... "Time for lunch!" announced Rangi.. We dodged among the geysers, fumaroles, mudholes, and drifting clouds of steam where Rangi fished the corn cobs from the hot rock pool, done to perfection. The boiled corn-on-the-cob was succulent. Maize was not a traditional Polynesian food. It was introduced by the pakehas, as "Indian corn" from America, but is nowadays a hot favorite among the Maoris. When Rangi's ancestors ar- ~#ived in the Land of the Long White Cloud, they brought cut- tings of Kumara (sweet pota- toes) with them, which they planted in gardens tilled with wooden spades. They ate fish and birds, berries, fern' roots, and shoots, and the pith of tree ferns, -- From "Roaming Round New Zealand," by Frank Clune. _ (MERRY MENAGERIE t TY = : AN steamy ° "NIK-KNACK" -- The Sputnik school of sculpture makes its appearance in Moscow's Cent- ral -Exhibition Hall, with this work 'featured in the All-Union Art Exhibition. The rocket- launching figure, entitled "To the Stars", was created by Rus- sian sculptor Postnikoy. Photo and caption material were re- ceived from an official Soviet source. Bookworm Became -Master Forger Thomas J. Wise was a master forger. But he never stood in the dock of a criminal court. Throughout a long life he achieved international fame and made' a fortune as the greatest authority on rare books and pamphlets of his time. He belonged to learned socie- ties, hobnobbed with great schol- ars and American millionaires. Oxford University conferred up- on him the rare distinction of an honorary degree of Master of Arts, and the equally rare dis- tinction of an honorary fellow- ship of Worcester College. Only when he had reached the peak of his fame were the sys- tematic frauds revealed which toppled Thomas J. Wise off his high pedestal. e How did his amazing career of crime begin? ' In 1885 a society was. formed in memory of the poet Shelley. Its members included some of the most celebrated literary men of the day, and there was only one who had no claim to dis- tinction, ~ xe This exception was a chubby, tuddy-faced man of twenty-five Tom Wise, a city oil merchant's clerk. Though obscure and in trade, young Wise showed a tre- mendous interest in the Shelley Society and very soon took a leading part in the preparation of famsimile copies of Shelley pamphlets for members. Such "copies" have a senti- mental interest for the admirers of a famous poet, but no com- mercial value. And the fact that. they are only copies is stated on them. Tom Wise hit upon a billiant scheme which side-stepped the problems of imitating a rare existing»pamphlet, by manufac- turing a new one with a faked date. Thus a forged pamphlet could not be compared by the expert with. any original, since no or- iginal-existed. And there was a very real financial advantage if the swindle was worked clev- erly. Here is an example of how, when he had become rich and _ famous as the greatest authority on rare books and the builder of one of the finest private li- braries in the world, Thomas Wise, M.A., was carrying on se-. cret deals in faked nineteenth- century pamphlets. When the invalid» Elizabeth Barrett was being courted by Robert Browning before their Tun-away marriage, she wrote. a ~ series of beautiful Tove sonnets to him. They were published © in 1850 and became a valuable first edition. But Wise had the love sonnets printed in a pamphlet- dated ~ RUBBER \ TBILLION LBS. \2N SS COTTON | 45 MILLION LBs, ae D, 'eWOOL _ 160 MILLION LBS.

The value of the first edi- tion was thus destroyed and his own pamphlet greatly increased in value. No one, of course, suspected the great Wise of fraud! | In the early and middle nine- teenth century there was a gold- mine for the forger who could hoodwink the American collec- tor. Wise, secure in his place as a leading expert, and by now a wealthy man, had easy pick- ings to placate his greed for yet more money, So great was his authority that no one ever questioned a pamphlet or rare book if Wise endorsed it as genuine. One American banker, Mr. J. H. Wrenn, invested in Wise's faked pamphlets on a large scale, thousands of pounds changing hands. Though the main bulk of Wise's frauds were of faked nineteenth-century pamphlets, once, at least, he faked a com- « plete book. In 1887 there appeared a new edition of Shelley's poems edit- ed by Charles Alfred Seymour, member of the Philadelphia His- torical Society. Thirty copies, for private circulation only. What could make a more di- rect appeal to the rich Ameri- can collector? The thirty copies soon found purchasers at fancy * prices and went on'to_the book- shelves of famous American li- braries. c An additional bait for the rich buyer was a number of love sonnets written by Shelley for his first wife, Harriet, and nev- er intended to be seen by other eyes. . Where did Thomas Wise come in on this fraud? The answer is simple. He took the name Charles Alfred Seymour and in- vented the Philadelphia Histori- cal Society. Another method used by Wise was to buy at auction the letters of the famous dead and from them have printed fraudulent pamphlets appropriately pre- dated to deceive. Strangely enough, Wise was a fraud and genuine at the same time. For example, he really loved rare and beautiful books. In his home on Crouch Hill, North London, he had built up a mag- nificent library named after the road in which he lived, the Ash- ley Library. He permitted no fakes to go on to his own bookshelves, and when he made a catalogue of this great library it ran to ele- ven volumes, beautifully illus- trated and with notes on each item revaling Wise's vast know- ledge of his subject. And yet this was the man who also trafficked for years in forg- eries and fraudulent pamphlets! Today, the Ashley Library is in the British Museum. It was bought from Wise's family for $180,000. Wise was unmasked, with po- ' etic justice, by men in the trade he had for so long swindled, two clever antique booksellers. For some time, here and there, experts had begun to have their supsicions of Wise. It seemed that so often rare pamphlets emanated from him. Then, again, when questioned, he was invari- ably, though plausible, peculj- arly cagey. ._ These two astute men, John Carter and Graham Pollard, were no doubt aware of one of Wise's tricks, and a verv clever one it was. This was. to get two booksel- Iers to bid for one of his own faked pamphlets put up for euc- tion. The two booksellers would be entirely unaware that they were bidding for the same client, and so the bidding would go up to the limit set them by Wise. : A worthless fraudulent pamph- let would be sold for $150 or more: ~ ~ But, it may be said, Wise him- self was forcing up the price of his own trash and paying for it, too! True, he .was, but "This 'particular item," he could truth- fully say to his rich customer, "fetched $150 only last week at auction." 3 In this way he would unload a number of copies, each one, it has been reckoned, seldom cost- ing him more than fifty cents. * Examined' by paper experts and chemists, and by experts ip typography, these so-called rane " pamphlets were easily proved fo _be fraudulent. In 1934, the two investigators published their findings in a book entitled, sombrely, "An In- quiry Into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets." They brought no direct accu- sation against Wise. They could not. Although everything point- ed to him as the master-mind behind these numerous "rare" Pamphlets, there was ne direct proof. And Wise? He said very little and then pleaded sickness when invited to go into details. He flied without admitting the frauds, but by the day of his death his guilt was no longer in doubt.
