to furnish subsistence for the 1900 OF tho
Atlantic fleet during the trip to the Pacific Coast
will conduct tests in detetics. one of these
will be with powdered egg. TO supplement the l0oO
dozen of fresh eggs which last only short time.
Another will be with certain desiccated types Of
vegetables. The most important. however, is that
with timed potatoes. Of which 100000 pounds have
been ordered. This is new method OF preserving
vegetables, and has been tried by the army com
mssares in Alaska and the Philippines with such
success that the commissary general Of the army
has been urging some OF the Gamers 10 put up
potatoes and onions in this form. The difficulty
has been IN the expense Of the experiment. 1t Is

miners and others who have 10 use canned goods
