ANY one who has ever picked up
with a bare hand piece of intensely
cold iron knows that the touch burns
almost as badly as if the metal were
red-hot. Indeed, the action of great
heat and extreme cold are so similar
that Hungarian chemist has turned
the latter to account to prepare meats
for food. He subjects the meats to 80
degrees of frost and then seals it up in
alright tin cans The result is that
the meat, which is practically cooked
by cold," will keep any time and can
be eaten with very little further prep
aration.
