Chemist's Discovery

[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] GISBORNE, This Day. I'pon his return ['mm Auckland yesterday, Mr Harold Kane, a chemist, made a rather startling discovery, for on visiting: his shop ho found his manager, Samuel Taylor, lying de-ad. When Mr Kane went to the shop it was locked up. He went away, but returned later, and as the shop was still closed he thought that .something was wrong' and made investigations. By climbing through a window he gained admittance and discovered Taylor lying dead on tlio floor. Deceased was comparatively a young man and had been in Mr Kane's employ since July last. ]7i> leaves n wife and family, - who were- to pVi Hy join him from England. A facetious correspondent of the lV.lmor.ston Times write: "It is about time dogs wove kept out of th.> public library. To-night a big i bjf.t'k dog was scratching himself vigorously, and scattering seeds of , UM-cvst, which made all the bipeds pr "■•.cut feel likwise." A resident of Wellington sends the N.Z. Times a sample of milk purchased by him on Saturday from a city dairy. The sample consists of two parts—a thin, blue-looking fluid and a dark solid, the latter being < some species of worm with pa>rt of its natural earth adhering. In compounding his "milk" the purveyor apparently _ failed to properly discriminate against all that was yielded by the pump. When the milk was purchased the worm was alive. In Brunswick there is a young man, the heir to considerable wealth, who is imprisoned on a little bit of territory, a.nd can never leave it till the end of his days, unless ho ' first sacrifices his patrimony. His ! name is_ Ebenstien; .he is a. minor, i and he iniheri'ts his property from a i grandfather, who, as a Hanioverian, ' fought 'against the Prussians in ■ 1866. Old Ebenstien never forgave the brutal Prussian, and in his will ' tied up his property with the condition ithat his 'heir should never set foot on Prussian soil. But as Prussia surrounds Brunswick, Ebenstein : can never get out of it without losing his money. What is wo,rse, Prussia divides .Brunswick into five ' isolated parts, all of which it surrounds; and; Ebcnsteiji lives in one of the smallest parts, 'and cannot, oven visit Brunswick city without crossing Prussian - soil, violating the wilL and letting his money go to a remote undeserving cousin. The : local papers (says the Bystander), ; suggest that Ebenstein will find salvation and escape perpetual interment in Brunswick by buying an aeroplane and flying across Prussian territory into some non-Prus-sion State. But JJiis would mean a very long flight. Still, it seems tho only .way. . - i
