In England much interest is taken by
the army and navy authorities in the
new method OF preserving -four by
means of compression. With hydraulic
pressure apparatus the flour is
squeezed into the form of bricks, and
experiments are reported to have
shown that the pressure destroys all
forms of laryaI life, thus preserving
the flour from the rayages of insects,
while it is equally secure from mold.
