Freezing FLESH

] It is a curious fact that, although
jewellers In northern climes must have
known for ages that a low temperature
preserves flesh from putrafaction, 1T
never seems to have struck any one
that this natural fact could be turned
Ito artificial advantage until Lord Bacon
stuffed the historic chicken with snow
and thereby caught chill which killed
him. 1t is perhaps even more curious
that en- experiment resulting in the
death of one of the most eminent men
in the world should not have called any
attention to an already well known
principle which might have been read
lily turned to great advantage. AS a
matter of fact, 1t was not until the year
ds75, 24a years after Lord Bacon's fatal
experiment, that freezing was prac-
ideally employed as method OF pre-
serving flesh. This was the commence
ment Of the frozen meat trade between
America and England. Four years
