Changes in Food.

Besieged Paries learned to eat
horse flesh under stress of necessity,
and the present steadily lessening
supply of old staples has suggested
that the world may ere long be fore
ed to make important changes in its
food habits. AS new sources of flesh,
whales, sharks, and reindeer have
been mentioned. Exhibits of posi-
Bile foods have been prepared by the
American Museum of Natural His
tory, and include periwinkles and
mussels, already priced as food in
some parts Of the world, as we'll as
devil fishes. skates, and snakes. which
have been shown to very palatable
when prejudice is overcome. Among
the vegetahle products shown are
dulse. which has long been rrized III
Scot:and and iceland. and Other sea
weeds. The many plants introduced
bv the department OF agriculture give
promise OF adding materially to the
supply OF vegetables and fruits in the
United States, and the Trinidad dash
cen, with 80 per cent. more protein,
starch and sugar than the potato, is
now a developing crop in the South.
