CARBoLu ACID FOR PRESERVING MEAT

! CARBOLIC ACID FOR PRESERVING MEAT
In Il late number of the N0Riieu
! .ScieahfgHe Dir. Baudet communicates
the result of some experiments made
with a weak solution of carbolic acid in
preserving meat. For this purpose he
took four wide-mouthed stoppered bot
ties, and placed in each half pound of
raw horse flesh, slightly m0istened with
solutions of carbolic acid varying in
strength from five parts to one part in
thousand. In each bottle he put a
few small pieces of charcoal for the pur-
pose of absorbing any gaseous matter
evolved from the meat. \ fter keeping
these bottles three mon as in a room
constantly heated to IA temperature of
about 70 degrees, he found, at the end
of that time, that no decomposition had
occurred, and that the flavor of the meat
was fully preserved-to such an extent.
indeed, that it was considered excellent
10y himself and his friends who partook
of 1t. No taste was impaired TO it by
the acid different from that which at
taches to ordinary smoked meat and
the eXperimenter was of the opinion
that this substance may be used with
great advantage for the preserving of
flesh on a large scale for considerable
period of time. He thinks, however,
that this should be kept in well-closed
vessels, although it is not necessary,
perhaps, that they be Theoretically seaiod

Latest reports say that in the second
battle between the Coreans and the
American squadron, the former had six
thousand men armed with gingals, and
their bullets fell short, while the deadly
fire Of the American rifles told fearfully
on the enemy.
Under the cover of the rank yegeta-
ton and behind the shoulder of Il hill
the Americans advanced within one hun
bred and twenty yards of the forts be-
fore they came within range OF the Co
rean musketry The Coreans resisted
desperately to the last, Lieutenant Me-
Kee was killed ms he entered the en-
trenchments. When the Americans
reached the intreuchments the Coreans
succumbed
A number Of prisoners were taken, in
cludinr the officer 'cond in command
who was badly wounded, the Command
er-in-Chief having been killed.
On the 10th of June the American
force bivouacked i'll the forts, and next
day demolished the forts and spiked all
the guns.
The fleet returned to the Boize an
chorage two days later. The Coreans
sent on board letter filed with the
most insulting and abusive language, to
which no reply was made.
Admiral Rodgers, however, sent to the
Coreans to know what he should do with
the prisoners.
The Coreans answered that he might
do with them Ms he pleased Two days
later he set them mt liberty, and sent two
messages ashore, but the local authority
refused TO receive them, saving that 1t
was ms much rs his head was worth to
send them, and it was no use to attempt
to communicate further with the court.
Mr.. Low, the American Minister, then
sent formal protest that his mission
was peaceful, and that the American at
tack was not for refusal to negotiate,
but because the Coreans had treache-
rously fired on tine boats.
The steamer Millet was then despatch
ed to Shanghai with dispatches for
Washington. The Monoccacy and the
Palos will return to Shanghai and be
locked, and the rest of the squadron
will return to Chefoo and await instruc-
tons. One hundred thousand rations
We're sent to Chefoo.
The Coreans fought like men. The
weapons used by them are wretched old
fire locks, and their cutlasses made of so
soft iron that they bent like old hoops.
They were I esscd in armor of nine
thicknesses cotton padded, so that only
rifle balls &C I'D penetrate them. Swords
produced no effect upon them.
Documents captured show that the
Coreans had planned the surprise of
the American fleet, and were astonished
al the failure OF the Corean forts to an
initiate the fo eign vessels at the first
fire
The expedition has accomplished no
change in the relations of the two coun-
tries and Minister Low and Admiral
Rodgers will await instructions from
Washington before proceeding to further
hostilites
Twelve native Christians came along
side the Admirals flagship in II junk and
begged to be taken to Shanghai, and
that their junk be burned to prevent its
falling into the hands of the native au-
thorities, who would thereby discover
from what village they came and punish
their relatives. The request was granted. |

The FINEST Town IN SIBERIA.-Ihe
finest town in Siberia is Ekaterienburg,
the frontier town between European and
Asiatic Russia. a position which gives it
many advantages, and in respect OF
which it possesses certain trading priyi-
leges. II is the chief centre of the gov
eminent mining department, and is in
near proximity to many valuable metal
lurgical undertakings, from which cir
cumstances it derives much importance
and an increased population. Irkutsk is
also nice town, but Ekaterienburg has
the superiority in several respects. 1t
contains a population of $4,000 souls,
and is handsomely built, possessing
several fine churches, and a great num-
Der of brick and stone houses, among
which some deserve to he called rather
palaces; also a mint and large mechani-
cal works belonging to the government.
1t has also a theatre, club, and two
really good hotels; and on the whole is
as unlike city on the outside borders
of civilization and in the close neigh
borhood of Asiatic barbarism as it is
possible to imagine. When eating the
" dinner la carte, supplied by NJ,
Plotnikoff at the best hotel, the travel
er will find himself as closely surrounded
by the externals of civilization as he
could be in any European city. There
is plenty of refined society to be met
with in all Siberian towns, and the time
of ones sojourn there always glides
away pleasantly; the regularity and
eveness of the climate being an addition
to the enjoyment of life.

KEEPING FLOUR IN BARRELS has
been observed that flour stored in bar
rels becomes impaired in quality sooner
than when kept in bags. According to
the researches of DIR. Pollock, a German
chemist, this deterioration first becomes
apparent in the shape of peculiar musty
or mouldy odur and sour reaction on the
part of the flour and where these are
present the gluten will be found to
have changed from an insoluble to sol
liable form, whereby its capability for
making a good dough is lost The cause
Of these changes is ascribed to the want
OF a sufficient circulation of air through
the mass of the -four kept in barrels, the
innermost -four in which is always found
to be most sour and the part which yields
the strongest odor.

NECESSARY RULES FOR SLEEP There
is no fact more clearly established III the
physiology of man than this, that the
brain expends its energies and itself
during the hours of wakelulness, and
that these are recuperated during sleep
Ii the recuperation does not equal the
expenditure, the brain withers-this is
insanity. Thus it is that in early Eng
fish history, persons who We're con-
demned to death by being prevented
from sleeping. always died raving mani
acs, and those who are starved to death
become insane ; the brain is not nour-
ished, and they cannot sleep. The prac-
teal differences are three LIST Those
who think most, who do the most brain

PELoUzE PROCESS OF PRESERVING
MEAT. We have already referred to a
process devised by Pelouze for preserv-
ing meat unchanged for an indefinite
period of time without the use of any
chemical solution, and to his having de
posted an account of it with the secretary
of the Academy of Sciences in Paris. In
Il late number of the MoHHeW .Scieniifgue
the secret is announced, from which we
see that it is not essentially different
from processes already in use. For the
purpose in question the meat is to be
cut up into pieces Of convenient size,
and subjected to an atmosphere of car
bonic oxide under pressure. After this
current of dry air is passed over the
meat, so as to carry off all the moisture,
and this being accomplished, solution
either Of salt or saltpetre, or much diluted
carbolic acid is to be brought into contact
with it, and the mass then. sealed up in
a tight vessel.
