Some lmj)ortiint oxporimouts on the preservation of ripp fruits by means of formalin have recently been carried out at the Jodrall luborutory, Kew, says the London Globe. If tile fruit is one which is eaton without peeling, as the straw berry or raspberry, it is, first of all, Immersed for twi minutes la cold wa ter containing 3 per cent of commercial formalin. It Is then take out, and allowed to remain live minutes In cold water. If the fruit Is one of which the skin or rlud Is not eaten, the latter treatment Is omitted. It was found that damsons thus treated kept nine days, Victoria plums live days, black currants live days and red currants' four days longer than fruit not so treated. Titted or slightly diseased apples thus treated were found to keep sev eral weeks longer. It Is pointed out Al.ut the spoiling of ripe fruit is often due to the various bacteria nnd fc ments occurring on their surfaces. Tbo development of the:e Is prevented by the formalin. It is suggested that the use of formalin may render It possible to.bring certain perishable ripe fruits ffAa distant countries. Her SMconlnit.

It occurs also In the mountainous regions of western China, w here n palc-colorcd variety of the sikh'Ics was discovered by pore David, and lu Thibet. It Is known to scientific naturalists by the name, llinlirrax (bull antelope), Its full title being liurdtirvatt tiij-icolur. There are two mounted specimens of the takln in the P.rltlsii Natural His tory museum. The sclentlnc Interest attaching to the takln depends on the fact that It furnishes one of the numerous links bi tween the antelopes nnd the more fa miliar sheath-horned ruminants which we know ns cattle (ox. buiValo, bison), sheep, and goats. The antohios are in fact a large nnd a very varied group, some of elegant, graceful form with long and finely-chiselled horns, others with heavy heads and short bull like horns such as the gnu, others gont-like in shape such as the Aslatl serow, others stalwart and finely-made like the elands, which have straight, jxiwerful horns, whilst their Indian representative, tho beautiful blue bull, or nilgai, has very small horns. The Eurojiean chamois Is a good example of an antelope which forms a link between typical uutelojies and the more familiar cavieorn, the gout. The takln has In the adult broad tumid bases to the horns, which nearly meet In the middle line, nnd a curvature which Is not unlike that presented by the horns of the gnu. There Is, how vver. one northern cavlcom the musk ex of the Arctic circle which In the general character of the horns and limbs, with large lateral hoofe, pre sents marked resemblance to the takln. It U probable that the takln Is an off hoot of the anteloie stock which ulti mately produced the musk ox. Just as the chamois, the serow, nnd tho goral oiv prohahly remnants of another ante lope line of ancestry which gave rise to the goats and sheep.
