It is perhaps worth recalling that
the art of baking loaves came to Eu
rope quite late in history. Flat cakes
were baked even in the earliest times
but as late as the beginning of the
nineteenth century loaf bread was com
paratively unknown in many parts Of
the continent In 1912, for instance
when an English capital ordered
loaves to the value of S. in Gothenburg
the baker stipulated for payment in ad
vance on the ground that he would
never be able to sell them in the city
if they vert left on his hands.-Lon
don Chronicle.
Petroleum has been introduced into
medicine with beneficial results, and
if a Paris contemporary be not mis-
informed the properties of petrol are
limitless. 1t is claimed, says the Lon
don Globe, that from the residuals OF
crude petrol a chemist has succeeded
in extracting butter. It is said that
butter can be made from a base OF
nitrogen and carbon, but that the resi-
duals of petroleum produce these ele
ments in greater proportions even tnan
milk. It is further claimed that this
artificial butter is better than the nat
ural. The color is said to be lltte
darker than that of dairy butter.
