purchased by the Prussian Minister of lnstruc-
ton, who has published 1T in his official organ
for the benefit of the scientific world. The for
mula for preparing it is as follows: In 5000
grammcs of boiling water dissolve alum, 100
grammcs; common salt, % gIammes; saltpetre,
- grammes; carbonate of potash, go glammes;
arsenous acid, 10 grammcs. After cooling and
fltering, add to every 10 litres of the solution
litres OF glycerine and ] lltrc of mcthylic alc0-
hOl. The method of application differs accord
ing to the nature of the objects TO be preserved.
Anatomical preparations that are to he pre-
served dry are immersed in the fluid from six to
twelve days, according to their SIZE, then taken
out and dTied IN the open air. Hollow organs,
such a. the lungs, ETC., must be filled with the
preserving fluid, then laid in vessel containing
the same liquid, and arteiwmd distcndod with
air and dried. Smaller animals, such as crabs,
beetles, lizards. frogs etc, if the natural cO.ors
are to be preserved unchang d, are not to he
dried, but put immediately into the preTara-
ton. The same fluid may be used for the rur-
pose of preserving human bodies during trans
pOrtation, o: even for more permanent cmbam-

SCIENCE FOR THE PEOPLE.
TRANSPORTING FRESH NEAT.

The Vienna method of sending fresh mutton
and beef TO the London and Pans markets ap-
pears 10 have met with considerable success.
Attached to the slaughter-hOuse Is cooling
room with well-fttng double doors, and as
much as possible protected against external m
huences of temperature. At one end OF the
cooling-Ioom is a large blOwing-encine 1'5m:
in diam, which sucks the air from the roof OF
the room, and then forces it through tube 80
ctm. wide behind the icc-hOlder at the opposite
end of the room. This is a large ice-case, to be
filled from without, in which the an to be cOOled
comes directly into contact with the ice. BE,
fore the flesh has quite stiffened, 1t is treated
with chemically pure h0raX. This is applied to
the meat in the form of fine powder, 10y means
of bellows similar TO that used IN France TOT
sulphurizatiOn of vne-stOcks. 1t IS poured
through funnel into the bellows, the ming
hole s stopped, and the substance Is then bioWh
out through the duSt-prCduclng apparatus III
trOduccd at'the point. The quantity OF D0iaN
used is so small that 1t is presently dlssOlVou ny
the moisture on the surface Of the meat. IL U.s.
therefore, not percrpt,ble by the eye, especially
as, ALSO il does not III the least alter the aspect
of the meat.
After complete cooling, the meat is bound T., IN
linen sacks. and is ready for being sent of. The
cooing-house is situated close to the rail-
way, and It is of the highest Importance that
the cooled meat be put directly into the lee
wagons The principle of the cooling III these
is, SIMILARLY air-tisht closure, stt adv m0iiOn Oh
the inner air, and the forcing OF TN. through
an ice-chest. The air Is drawn through
funnel in the roof of the wagon passes through
n tuba into an aiT-baV, and from thls through
Sits into the icc-chcst, filled win ice, WHICH
