Mr Edward Janitzski, of Prnyble, Sydney, has invented a meat-preserving process, which, if only half as good as it claims to be, should mean tons of money to its exploiters. It is “ a universal process for the preservation of animal products,” and it will, it is claimed, abolish the freezing chamber and cold storage as we know them now, To freeze meat costs £3 to £3 10s per ton ; under the Janitzski process, it is asserted, meat treated at a cost of from Ss to 10s per ton will be fresh and sweet, with all its flavor preserved, at the end of 70 days. The cost of an ordinary freezing plant to do certain work may be up to £20,000 ; the Janitzski plant to do the same work will, it is claimed only cost £5,000. The process is simplicity itself. The carcases are put into a hermetically sealed chamber which is then charged with oxygen gas up to a certain pressure, tho meat remaining under treatment for from six to eight hours, according to bulk, after which it may be taken out aud shipped as bulk cargo. “ We nave kept meat so treated 104 und 110 days. We sent some meat to Maoriland on July 26sh last. Oa September sih it was examined and found to be all we claimed for it. It was put into a box and □ ailed down, and sent aboard the steamer as ordinary cargo,” say these associated with the inventor. Toe rights of the process for Maoriland and Argentina have already boen d spaaed of. TOe promoters see a vision of boundless wealth in the applica tion of tho process to the rabbit trade, as a portable plant to treat rabbits oould be made for £7O, and once bunny is treated he is done with and oan be shipped as ordinary cargo.

Tho Japanese (states the New Zealand Herald) have an effective military organ sation, and they arc not hampered by any Heir Hardies protesting against the “ hellish doctrine of shooting their brothers.” While the United Kingdom is being agitated because in an isolated district English children are being taught how to defend their country if it is invaded, while in this progressive colony wo arc relying upon Snider rifles as part of our defensive equipment, Japan has every little Jap ready for military service, and has at this moment no less than 4000 military students inspecting the Manchurian battle ground. We maybo sure that these tawny students arc not bewailing tho’.r dead nor proclaiming their remoree for having shot their Russian “ brothers,” Taey are straining their brains in learning how to avoid mistek33, how to repeat brilliant movoa, how to taka advantage on future battle-

fields of the Manchurian lessen. And the most any patriotic New Zealander oan hopo is that, if they oemo down during the new mililery age to Bhow us how much they have improved by their experience, wo ourselves may be able to demonstrate that wo also have made good use of our time.
