DEADLY GAS WILL KEEP FOOD.

condition. Scientists have for many years
been looking for q perfect method Of keeping
fruit, fish, milk, bottled beer, and SO ou~
good aud fresh for as long as is wanted.
The solution has, curious as it may seem,
been found IN that most poisonous OF all
gases, carbonic acid gus.
This deadly gas has been Experimental
with for years, and attempts have been
made to keep meat good by its help, by
making the cattle and sheep iuhale large
draugLts of it when on the point Of death,
but the secret has been found ii the use Of
large tanks from which every atom Of mir
is pumped out by a tap, while another tap
let's the poisonous gas in.
CarbouIcn acid gas kills all che germs Of decay
Immediately When left atone with no ord n
AIRY air to interfere with it. The fact that
this last point is necessary is the secret THAT
hns Just been solved.
BY the new system bottles Of milk have
been kept new md sweet for m)ushs, while
a couple Of trawIers that have recently been
fitted with the gus tauks have been able to

Guiding the case OF Representative Robert

DIR. Kelly made strong plea for the
conservation of lands containing radium

made a special point In comparing ra-

In fact DIR, Kelly said. cures had been

Of Crown Prince Frederick William in tho

that the Crown Prince sent the telegram.
