tuberculosis and typhoid fever, which
may be carried and transmitted in the
milk of cows, as well as by contamina-
ton from barnyard associations.
The Day process does not end with the
treatment of fats and oils, but is applied
to all the flesh of animals, as well as of
fish, crabs. oysters, fruits and vegetables:
Mr.. Day found that the application of
the radiant energy from the electric light
produced peculiar and wonderful effects
on all these substances. Fresh meat was
made rigid and hard as wood. 1t could
then be ground or pulyerized into pow,
swell up, and when cooked would have

ported anywhere and would keep in any
climate. Then, by adding the requisite
amount of water, the article would be ready
to be cooked and served up, thus furnishing
an ideal meat, as to which digestion waits
on appetite. and health on both"
Mr.. Day tested the merits of his process
in many ways. He found that meats could
be cured in large or small pieces; in fact,
that by suitable exposure to the electric
light bodies Of any size might be first disin-
fected from all microbes and then preserved
indefinitely. No matter what the germ
might be, the inventor found that powerful
light was fatal to it. He experimental with
the entire range of germs supplied by the
physicians of the Johns Hopkins Hospital
and killed them all.
He also found that the effect of the light
on the culture medium was such as to pre-
vent any new germs from living in 1t after
the treatment by light
Extending the range of his process. Mr.
Day. found that fruits and vegetables could
either be preserved very nearly IN their nat
ural condition and size, or they could be
made dry and hard as wood, reduced in size
and weight, then ground to powder and att
erward restored again to a food form by
supplying moisture.
Mr.. Days process requires no salt or 9TH

and water power to furnish electricity are
the only requisites of a Day establishment
AS may readily be SEEN the possibilities of
the new process are enormous. Patents

tries of the world. 1t is proposed to put up

eral were published in France Germany,
Holland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, and
there are copies of many editions of the
same book. The medals, which Mr. Baker
himself arranged, have been brought up to
date and constitute a striking history, the
face of Washington being seen beside that
of nearly every other prominent man of the
country.
This portion of the collection is chiefly
noteworthy for the remarkable variety of
caricatures of the father of his country,
struck off by inadequate persons in the at
tempt at q likeness. 1t is a severe criticism
on the still youthful character of this
branch of American art. Fortunately,
however, the portrait most used is from
the artistic and authentic bust by Houdon,
modelled from cast of the face taken at
Mount Vernon in October 1855.
The engra wings are, from an artistic point
of view of infinitely more Importance. In
the financial sense too, they are more val
liable many being of unusual rarity; Some
are quoted at $500 and $500 each, while the
majority would bring from $500 to $500 at
any art sale. They are well mounted on
thick cardboard and satisfactorily cata-
lOgIIed.

Alaska's gold has hardly been touched

opportunity for weighing Klondike stories
and Klondike nuggets is far better than in
the East The older and better-known
source of wealth, the arctic furs. are still

show little evidence of exhaustion. For
years to come the white man can dig gold,
and the Indian can hunt and trap, but
Alaska had wealth OF another sort, which
is rapidly disappearing. with no hope, alas!
of future discovery OF new supplies
Before civilization overlook him the Alas

land travel he had his ivory-shod sledge
braced into deer horns and bound together
with tough thongs to resist the shocks from
Jagged surfaces OF ice. His kyak Of walrus
hide was stanch, light and seaworthy
His weapons and utensils were marvelously
adapted to their respective uses, from the
heavy walrus spear tipped with the tusk

with its barbed tips. For protection from
rain and surf the Alaskan had water
