COMPETING WITH cHpss,;z-1z.
Norway Making Arrangements to Suppl,
London With Mutton.

London With Mutton
London will shortly have the advan.
tage of another meat supply-this time
from Norway-whieh, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfeoting ar.
engagements for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead, as it can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision of the
Stavanger Agricultural society, and the
results were so satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be re.
peated on larger scale.
1t appears that so sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattened
for week or so until they turned the
scale at from 115 pounds to 1873 poundL.
They were then shipped to London,
where they realized an average price,
after deducting commission, of about
81. so, and as the total outlay had only
been about Sc. so per head there was a
net profit of nearly 81 on each animal
Forty were also sent over with the
skins, hoofs and interior intact, but on
these three was an average loss Of 10
shillings per head, partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing
Nevertheless the Stavanger society
has come TO the conclusion that the
business promises to be remunerative
and the English people have thus an
additional guarantee of an adequate
supply of mutton
Speed of Electricity.
The fact is generally known that, 40
oording to the experiments Of the late
Professor Heinrich Hertz at Bonn, the
velocity with which electricity is prop.
agated is nearly Identical with the We
locity of light The identity may be per-
feet, but experiments have as yet failed
to prove it SO.
In a recent communication to the
French Academy of Sciences, NJ. Mas
cart has shown that the mean velocity
of electricity, as deduoed from expert.
ments, is 1S6, 185 miles per second.
This is about per cent greater than
the velocity Of light, which is 1873, 800
miles per second.
1t is believed that if light and cleo
tricity do move with exactly the same
speed the velocity ascribed to light more
closely represents that speed than the
velocity ascribed to electricity, because
the experiments are most satisfactory
and probably more accurate in the case
of light. Youth Companion.
