Iced Fish Dangerous.

The Lancet contains warning against
the use of iced fish. Ice spoils the fresh
ness, frmness and favor of fish by render
ing it, prior to putrefaction, insipid, soft
and habby. Where fish is preserved on Ice
it appears that the ice only favors putrefac-
ton by furnishing constant supply of
moisture, carrying with it the putrefactive
bacteria derived from it's unclean surround.
ings, so that this iced fish remains covered
with fresh solutions of filth pregnant with
putrefactive bacteria. On the other hand,
keeping fish dry and cold can in no way
favor putrefaction. 1t is stated that 20
different kinds of food fishes, on being eaten
within a few hours of their death, give rise
to poisonous symptoms, and it is said to be
the intention of the Russian Government to
offer a prize of $500 for the best essay
upon the nature and cure of fish poisoning.

and at the same time offer them any assistance
they can, which all new lodges and councils

1t seems to be the prevailing opinion that
the same energy exercised in giving entertain

relief of the sick, the poor and destitute in the

for holding fair during the months of Decem-

An Expert Opinion Of FueI Gas.

George Westinghouse, Jr., in recent ar
ticle, says that in Europe, where very care
full investigations have been made, innu-
merable devices of more or less merit involv-
ing the economy of fuel gas have been
adopted. It is known to fraction of foot
how many cubic feet of gas are needed to
broil steak, to cook bunch of asparagus,
to boil cabbage and to roast pound of
beef. The present cost of manufactured gas
is largely due to the great percentage of
leakage, which in New York is supposed to
be about 25 per cent, and the comparatively
small quantity of gas transported for an av-
erage of 20 hours per day. When a large
quantity of gas comes to be used for heating
during all hours there will be no special
need for a better process of manufacturing
gas than the present, for the greatly in
creased consumption will lessen the price,
and that, in connection with economical ap-
pliances, will bring what is really great
luxury within the reach of all classes. The
Importance of the manufacture of a cheap
fuel gas, however, is more fully recognized
now than ever before, and there are hun
dreds of gas engineers to-day working on the

DR.. Atwater, in the paper read by him be-
fore the last convention of the American
Public Health Association, dwelt on the
evils of overeating, and showed that in this
country people over-eat enormously, especi-
ally in the matter of meat and sweetmeats,
with the result of undermining their health
to great degree. DR.. Jerome Walker gave
facts to prove that meat once q day was
enough for any ordinary person. Dr. At
kinson showed the Importance of better cook
ing for the masses. He considered that
great obstruction to improvement in the art
Of cooking is the almost universal miscOn-
ception that the finer cuts of meat are more
nutritious than the coarser portions, coupled
with an almost insuperable prejudice
among working people against stewed food.
This prejudice is doubtless due to
the tasteless quality of boiled meat;
boiling toughens each of the fine fbers, and
deprives the meat almost wholly of its dis
tlnctive flavor. All these blunders and
misconceptions must evidently be removed
before any true art of cooking can become
common practice. The more necessary.
however, does it become to invent apparatus
in which meat can only be simmered and
cannot boil, as in the Aladdin cooker, and
also to invent a stove or oven in which
neither meat nor bread can be overlooked.
dried up, or rendered indigestible by too
much heat, as in the Aladdin oven. Next,
people must be persuaded that a better and
more nutritious breakfast can be made
ready to eat, as soon as the family are out of
bed, by putting meat stews, oatmeal, brown
bread and many kinds of pudding into the
cooker, and simmering all night by the use
of single safe lamp. than in any other way.

Interesting Engineering Fent.

The method of constructing the founda-
tions of the great drawbridge over the
Thames at New London, is of exceptional
interest. Timber curbs were constructed,
which were sunk so feet into the bed of the
river, the bottom of which was soft mud for
this depth. The mud inside the crib was ex-
cayated, and the piles driven into the solid
ground then obtained. The heads of these
piles were then bound together with con-
crete, on which the masonry of the pier was
finally erected.

acute sense of smell in criminals. and he
now makes similar affirmation with regard
to taste after tests consisting of the appli-
cation OF bitter and sweet substances
(strychnine and saccharine) in dilute solu-
ton to the tongue. He finds also the taste
of the habitual criminal less acute than
that of the casual offender, and slightly
more acute taste in the male than in the fe-
male criminal. Experiments with regard
to hearing resulted in demonstrating that in
criminals 67,3 per cent have less than the
normal acuteness. Ear disease was common.
These deficiencies are attributed to bad ny
gienic conditions of life and vicious habits.

Shores has followed the business of tanning

cattle ranges are filling up with settlers,
and the speaker seemed to lament the new
IRA that had decreased the demand for cow
boys and bronchos. ''I used to make $500
