Peeseevation op Articles or Pood. — Some striking illustrations of the value of applying a low temperature in the preservation of articles of food has been recently recorded by M. Boussingault, whose paper is published in the Comptes Bendus for January 27. He bas found that beef-tea, submitted to a temperature of 4 ° F. for several hours, has remained in a perfectly good condition for eight years.

Both the sugar juice and the beef-tea had been kept in carefully closed vessels.
