Formalin (or Fro tin.
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

STRANGE BULL
THE TAKIN OF THE
There Is nothing deceptive or mis
lending about this animal excepting Its
name, and this after all Is only tin
name given to It. without intention t
effend, by the natives of the MIshml
hills on the northern frontier of
Assam, whence the first siecliuen was
obtained by Prian Hodgson forty
years ago from native hunters. 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. The curious
falsa antelope with its enlarged nose
closely resembles 111 that feature soiuo
varieties of sheep, whiKt the wonder
ful Wallaehhin sheep, the Oc atrrmi
tvroH of Llnnanis, has horns which lire
unlike those of nil other sheep and
goats ami resemble the straight de
