■“There, is a common, superstition that,a, draught is dangerous,” said Dr. A, Bernstein, lecturing on tuberculous at Hamilton, last week. “I,t is as much ,a, superstition as a ghost” He explained the germ origin of diseases and wept on to describe how on entering the railway carriage at Frankton for, Auckland he would Always throw open all the windows.. If anyonte> scowled he would say, “Stinks., stinks like ,a, pigsty !” and anyone accompanying him would feel very much a,shamed of him.—(Laughter). But usually most of the windows w. uld remain open. In connection with the Kyeb.ur,n murder, it is stated that the Chinese victim handed two ounces of gold to his assailant in response to threats and? that two ounces of gold were sold at the Ranfurly Bank, allegedly by the man who is now 1 changed with the murder. Commenting on the matter, the Otago Times points out, that it is illegal for a bank to trade in gold with anyone who does not possess a bona fide miner.’s right. A map! s.eek(i.ng to dispose of gold in its natural state must provide proof or siiitable guarantee that he procured it from some definite claim or mine. If the man who made hasty depaturr,e from Ranfurly, and who was arrested in Dunedin, is the man who cashed the gold, then the question might well be asked how he managed to complete the deal at the bank without the necessary proofs oh guarantee.
