The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure A HB few cases of Typhoid m Ashbmton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that tho dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidtmics m Russia swept away nearly till the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five j ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rieing from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the ono thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are bo admirably con- structed that, with them, a child cau do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession ot one becomes an'absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. ™ (0) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of ' Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double r sheeted frame — galvanised.

Since the introduction of the totalisator m 1880, the Clab had expended m stakes £137,000 ; m wages and salaries, £16,500 ; m actual improvements at the course, £20,000. The totalisator tax paid to Govern- ment had amounted to £3000. The total expenditure m 1880 was £5060 ; last year it was £15,900 — more than treble as much. In 1880 the receipts from the totalisator were £130, m 1896 they were £6958. As showing the increased popularity of the Club he mentioned that, whereas nix years ago the total receipts from privileges were £8276, last year the amount was £12,807, The balance m hand this year was £2045 11s 2d, and he mentioned that the improvements it was proposed to make at the course would absorb a sura of £2000.

JPeart's .Fatal Divo. ♦ Further particulars relating to Peart's fatal dive at Fitzgerald Bros. Circus on the night of the 7th instant show that for a few minutes previous to taking his daring leap into apace, Peart remained poised on feis fragile platform, which was as usual erected high above the heads of the people, the elevatioa being; as estimated, 58ft from tbe floor of the tent. A 6ft deep concrete tank had been provided, such as Peart had been used to dive into. The unfortunate man seemed to hesi- tate longer than he had been wont to do during his previous performances. "When he made his dive, however, the splash of the water seemed to indicate to the audience that the hazardous feat (which was tbe last item on the pro- gramme) had once more been success- fully performed. The circus staff saw at once that this was not the case. It was" apparent immediately to thfm that this tirae the descent into the centre of the tank had not been accurately effected, and that Peart had instead of striking the water direct, struck the concrete wall. Peart was taken out of the tank only semi-conscious, and he was con- veyed to St. Vincent's Hospital, where a superficial examination was made by the members of the medical staff m attendance. Pearr, however, never rallied, and succumbed at a little before one o'c'ock m the morniDg, the im- mediate cause of death being the in- ternal injuries and shock to the system. The City Coroner, Mr J. O. Woore, held an inquest at the St Vincent's Hospital that day on the body, when Daniel Fitzgerald, one of the pro- prietors of the circus, deposed that the deceased was a single man, about 24 years of age, and was a native of England. Peart was of temperate habits, and was known as Professor Peart, the champion high diver. Be had been eng»g d by witness m London m August last. The circus performance took place as usual on Thursday night. The last item on the programme was the dive of tbe deceased from a height of about 50ft into a tank containing 3ft Gin of water. The tank was dug out of the ground, and was about Bft long by about 6ft wide, and had been constructed under Peart's supervision. "Witness had the tank tilled and after- wards more water was put into it, so that the depth of water must then have been about 4ft. After Peart had examined the tank he was pulled up to the platform, which had also been fixed under his supervision. On the platform he said that the tank looked small, but that was only professional talk to cause more sensation. The remark bad often been made by him. He chose his own j time to leave the platform, no signal being given. Deceased jumped off as usual, but evidently misjudged his distance, as m his descent he struck the Bide of the tank and then struggled over into the water. Deceased managed to get out by himself and stand up, and to witness, who gave him his hand, he said that he would soon be all right. He was then removed to the dressing- room. Dr McCarthy was summoned, and he recommended his removal to St Vincent's Hospital. Deceased was accordingly taken to that institution, where he died sho'i/y afterwards. Dr McCarthy deposed that be was at tbe performance on Thursday uight. Peart, whom he had seen dive before, seemed to be hardly the same as when he saw him on a previous occasion. He seemed to be fidgety, and when ho saw the tank he ordered more water to be put m. Seeing that Peart had struck the side of the tank, witness went to li s dressing-room* Peart was lying on his back, and witness then believed that the case was hopeless, stimulants were administered, and the man rallying, he was conveyed to the ho-pttal. Witness remained with him up to the time of his death. He was conscious almost to the end, but said nothinj? about tbe accident, and blamed no one. Death was due to shock to tbe system. The jury returned a ver.lict of death from injuries accidentally re- ceived. The remains of the deceased were honored with a funeral such as few, except tbe very first publiQ men m
