The English Mechanic, an authority on
scientific matters, discusses editorially
the question "Are canned fruits danger

" Altogether it may be said that the
!" charges made against timed foods are
"not merely not proven; but are, In
reality, highly improbable" The
Mechanic considers the quality OF plAte
used, the methods Of soldering pursued,
the action OF the acid juices Of tbs ituit,
and the like, and concludes that no
proof has been offered that lead In an
appreclsbie quantity has been found in
the contents of the cans. 1t ooneeives

Of lead frequently administered proving
eventually dangerous to human life but

store compelled" says the Mechanic,
"to assume that if they are due to the
preserved provisions at all, the cause
"must be sought tor in the provisions
themselves, or in some unknown
action which they may have on the tin

supposition 1T regards as extremely
improbable, because such action could
hardly have escaped the detection Of
experts who hayeinvestigated the sub sct.
With regard to canned goods imported
from the United States, the M.chaalt
says that analyses have frequently peeD
made Of the metal Of the imported Calls,

What the London Papers Say Of the
Matter.

LONDON, Nov. 23.-The Daiiy Netos, in
its leading editorial discussing Egyptian
affairs, Insists that the Khedive must
surrender the Idea of attempting to reach
III Ubeid, or the pursuing of an agrees
sive conflict with ri Mahdi, and rays the
game OF conquest in Central Africa ia not
worth either the great peouniary cost or
the terrible risk to human life involved.
The Morning Post says: We are struck
with Amusement at the singular short
| sishtedness aud want of presoienoe
exhibited by Her Majesty's government
in wishing to withdraw tine British troops
IRON Egypt at such juncture.
The Standard submits that it ia quite
| clear that this ia no time to withdraw
troops from Egypt.
The Daily Telegraph thinks that British
military prestige alone can arrest the
progress OF Ri Mshdi's arms.
The Times says: We cannot relieve
| that Mr.. Gladstone will wilfully and
blindly persist in weakening the small
British force now in Egypt. The broad
highway OF the Nile valley is now open to
the victorious fanatics. What is there to
prevent the garrisons and tue popula-
tions at the advanced posts from
yielding to the the temptations of X
Mahdii Mr.. Gladstone and his colleagues
must understand that England will hold
them snswerable if by future error,
of Judgment Egypt ia allowed tt
relapse into anarchy, aggravated
by the passions OF religious fanaticisu
and by the maddening influence of in
vasion by the barbarian of the interior
Of Africa.
