Preparing Food for Arctic Voyagers


The second Grinnell expedition for the
discovery of Sir John Franklin, which is
soon to leave our shores, takes with it an
admirably systematized dietry-the result,
evidently, of much careful study. For
long marches, where the labor Of carriage
requires the greatest economy of weight,
a condensed and portable food becomes Of
paramount Importance. Until very lately
the rife was the lardcr of the frontiers
man, but We are now in the mids. Of 4
great exodus. Men, women and children
strike out into our western deserts, and
the vast interspace between our Atlantic
and Pacific civilizations, is mass Of mov-
ing life. We think that valuable prac-
tical lesson might be taught to such emf
grants, by the preparation Of this little
Arctic Party. They take out with them
the meat biscuit of Borden, the desiccatcd
vegetables of Cholet, the impacted milk
cake Of the Messrs. Abbatt, and the Penn
lean Of tie Indian voyageurs The meat
biscuit has, after careful experiment, been
adopted by DR.. Kane for his slcdge jour
neys. 1t combines the essential elements
Of beef, and six ounces day have been
proved to be sufficient to sustain life, while
in active exercise. Sir Lyon Playfair, who
analysed this article at the World Fair, re-
ports in unqualified terms as to its value.
The vegetables are dried by rapidly chang
ing atmosphere, and compressed by hy-
draulic power so as to occupy an inconcei-
vably small bulk. The milk, which is
destined to do away with passenger COWS,
was as hard as brick-bat, but with the
aid Of little water, was hardly distinguish
able from breakfast cream. But the great
standby, the sheet anchor Of Arctic voy-
ayers, was the Pemican. All our North
ern Indian tribes, but especially the Crees
and Chippewas, use this preparation for
their long marches. 1t consists of the
pounded meats of the moose or buffalo,
carefully dried by fire and sun, and incor-
porated with fat or marrow. The word
Rn'is, which, in the Algonquin, signifies
grease, is probably the origin Of the term.
The Pemican Of the American expedition
was prepared on q large scale from beet,
aud In its manufacture We were much in

Presidents Going Abroad.

! Martin Van Buren, Ex-President of the
United States, left New York on Saturday
in the steamer Arctic, accompanied by his
son Martin, whose health requires change
of air. He is the first Ex-Prcsident Of
the United States who has visited Europe
after his term Of service, and the New
York Times, referring to the fact, calls up
some pleasant "reminiscences Of political
history. He is the last Of four of our
Presidents who visited Europe in diplo-
matte capacities previous to their elevation
The elder Adams was in England, Mr..
Jefferson in France, John Quincy Adams
in England and at Ghent, aud Martin Van
Buren, in England. The four military
Presidents were never across the Atlantic,
and tie illustrious Washington never out
of his own country. Gen. Harrison was
in Canada in pursuit of the enemy; Jackson
was in the Spanish territory for the same
object, and Gen. Taylor and Gen. Pierce
in Mexico also for the same. Harrison spent
afew years in S. America, in diplomatic ca.
pacity. The other Presidents-Madison
Tyler, Polk, and Fillmore, we're never
abroad !; certainly in no public employment.
