ROAST BEEF OF Old ENGLAND.
American Meat Finding C0mpetitlon frola
y Colonial and Other Sources n

American Meat Finding Composition fro,a
y Colonial and Other Sources.
Whence comes the meat we eat? asks
the Pail Mall Gazette. The suburban
butcher will tell you that it Is all home
killed, if not home fed; the domestic
cynic that Welsh mutton commonly
browses on Australian plains and that
Scotch beef loses half its virtue Because
of the voyage across the Atlantic. The
truth, as usual, hes between, and if one
had happened on the Society Of ARTS in
session the other night one would have
learned some Interesting facts from E.
Montague Nelson as to this more than
ordinarily interesting subject. A quar-
ter of a century ago it struck people
that the United Kingdom, could not
grow enough meat to feed her popula-
ton, which, by the way, it may be said,
eats more than twice rs much meat as
any alien people. AS usual, acorlmit-
tee was appointed, and it sat until 1870
without arriving at any definite conclu-
sion. At this time America was export
ing to the United Kingdom a large
quantity of live stock, besides profu-
sion of timed meat, while two: years
later the trade in chilled beef was
started. and gradually grew until in
1894 it reached one hundred thousand
tons. In 1850 the Australian colonies
began to be factor in the question OF
supply. Early in that year the first ship
ment of frozen meat was made, and the
trade has since attained huge proper
tons. In all, 2S,000,000 frozen sheep
and lambs have come to our shores,
of which New Zealand has supplied
Is. 100000, Australia, 100000, the
River Platte, 100000, and the Fallz-
land islands, 10000. In the carly
stages of the business freight from
Australia was 2Ld per pound; it is
now Id. and fair profit can be made
at this figure. There are now over
eighty ships engaged in the trade, with
g. carrying capacity of about 2,5ou.o00
carcasses. Experiments are now being
made in the Shipment of live cattle
from Australia. And the trials already
completed are sufficient to prove that
they can be carried the long sea voy-
age without loss Of cond;t ;on.- 1t is
probable therefore. that before lCl- Il
large trade in this direction Will be
conducted. The annual consumption
of meat in the United Kingdom is some
2,14O.02o tons, about tv'o-tlirds OF
which is home grown, and the latter
amount has doubled in the last ten
years. II is computed that, in addition
to the supplies of live stock to the
metropolitan markets, Snitffeld alone
provided in q year 1870 pounds Of meat
for every man, woman and child .within
fifteen miles Of Chariny Cross, or
weekly consumption Of twenty-follr
pounds for every family, and OF 100
pounds. about twenty-five pounds are
American beef and nearly thirty pounds
foreign mutton or beef. Mr.. Ne son
thinks that the British farmer is en-
titled to equal consideration, whether
he happens to reside in New Zealand or
Australia, or in Kent or Sussex. And
Australian mutton, wholesale, fetches
sgd a pound, or just half that OF the
home grown article. %&

ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.

Those Built by the Medieval >Peruviaus
r~@se''-" Were the Most Magnificent.
Perhaps the earliest road on record
is that mentioned by Herodotus as
having been constructed by Cheops,
the Egyptian king, in order that stones.
might be dragged along it for his pyr-
amid. In the opinion of the Greek
traveller the work of making the road
was as great as that of building the
pyramid, for it took ten years to con-
struct, and it was made of polished
stones with figures carved on them.
But, according to the London Standard,
this does not compare in magnitude
with the highways constructed by the
Peruvians, while medieval Europe was
still in state of semi-ba rbarous disor-
ganization. The two principal roads
in Peru ran from Quito in the north to
Cuzco, the capital, the one along the
sandy and level strip of coast, the other
along the plateau of the Andes, re-
gion of unparalleled engineering diff
Guilty The length of the second has
been estimated at from 1900 to 1000
miles. It crossed sierras buried in
snow, bridged ravines with walls of
solid masonry, mounted and descended
precipices by staircases hewn in the
solid rock and ran in interminable gal
leries along the sides of intractable
mountains. Where rivers had to be
crossed bridges were made with ropes
of stout, plant osier twisted to the
thickness of mans body and stretched
over the stream sometimes for a dis
lance of 200 feet. These cables swung
side by side, and, fastened with planks
so as to form a footway, were drawn
through holes in enormous buttresses
of stone specially constructed on each
bank, and were secured firmly at each
end to heavy beams of timber. A rail-
ing of similar osier material gave the
passenger confidence as he crossed the
oscillating bridge that sank danger
ously in the middle and mounted rap
:dly at the sides. The great highway
was twenty feet wide, and was built
with flags of freestone covered with
bituminous cement. It was measured
out by posts set up at every league;
caravansaries and magazines were sta
toned at convenient distances for the
Peruvian soldiers on their military ex-
petitions; and regular postal service
had been organized by which highly
trained runners, relieved every five
miles, could convey messages dis
lance of 200 miles in the twenty -four
hours. The roads were kept in beauti-
full order, the inhabitants OF district
being responsible for that portion OF
the highway which traversed their
land At the same time it should be
remembered that there was no wheel
traffic to cut up the level surface OF the
hard pavement. There is considerabl
irony in the fact that it was not till
the Spaniards forcibly introduced their
so-called civilization into Peru that
the famous roads began to fall into dis
repair T.. r.
