Further on the same author states, that it takes from eight to early malaise comes on; whilst when the typhoid is brought on by water, fourteen days after the typhoid poison has entered with the air before the two or three days only elapse before the symptoms are marked." Dr. Parkes continues: "Owing, probably, to the difficulty of making analyses of waters, the exact connection between impure water and disease does not stand on so precise and experimental basis as might be wished. But this much seems to be certain, that as precise investigations proceed, and, indeed, in proportion to the care of the inquiry and the accuracy of the examination, a continually increasing class of cases is found to be connected with the use of impure water, and it seems only reasonable to infer that a still more rigid inquiry will further prove the frequency and importance of this mode of origin of some diseases.

Section IV. treats of other unfermented beverages, and comprises tea, coffee, cocoa and chocolate, and milk. Under the head of tea the author sketches the history of the plant: its preparation, composition, the source of its physiological properties, the constituents of a cup of tea, the names POTATO STEAMER. of the various teas, and the blending of the different leaves. Coffee is discussed in the same manner; as are also cocoa and chocolate. In the chapter on milk the author lays stress on the fact that milk is a food as well as a drink, and explains its composition, the production of curds and whey, and the nature and properties of koumiss and kephia. This little book is one of the most interesting handbooks in connection with the International Health Exhibition; and the importance of the subject treated of leads us to hope that it will be extensively read by the class for whose benefit it is published.

ON THE PRINCIPLES OF COOKING.

BY SEPTIMUS BERDMORE.

IN cooking we have to appeal to the senses to aid us; and the variation in the performances of cooks may be due to the fact that all have not at one and the same time, in the greatest condition of perfection, eyes to see with, touch to feel, a sense of smell, or a perfect taste for all these are required. Drying in the sun may be taken to have been the most original form of cooking, as fire has not always been universally known. When it became known to man, and acquired the title of one of the elements, roasting first before it, or grilling food on it, or baking underneath its ashes probably followed; and the use of hot water could only have obtained when vessels or utensils capable of containing water and resisting fire came to be manufactured. The things which mainly assist in the art and science of cooking may be said to be (a) food (animal and vegetable) and liquid (generally water, but sometimes fat or oil, wine and vinegar); (b) fire; (c) the utensils in which we place, or by which we apply, the food to the action of heat. As Mr. Berdmore remarks, the other handbooks already issued or in the course of publication by the Executive Council of the Exhibition will teach the reader most that is to be said on the character of (a) Food, and the Reports of the Jurors will enlighten the public on the merits of the latest forms of ranges, etc., made to assist us in utilising (b) Fire. To (c) the utensils we employ, however, in this manual particular attention is given, for on their shape, make, material and cleanliness the success of the cook's work very much depends. After discussing them in detail, a list and definition of the verbs appertaining to cooking is given, and a few hints on the choice and preservation of meats, fish, etc., are added. Mr. Berdmore then treats of the principles of roasting, baking, grilling, frying, boiling, simmering, the stewing of soups and sauces, braising, basting, brown and clarifying, flavouring, and serving. The last few pages are occupied by quotations from that quaint book by John Evelyn ("Acetaria," 1706), supplemented by remarks on the value and proper preparation of salads-a food which is at the present time too much neglected in this country. This handbook is a very readable one, although, from the very nature of the subject treated of, it must perforce possess more charms for humble than for rich readers. The careful perusal by those immediately concerned in the science and art of cooking would tend to a material extent to remove from England the stigma which rests upon her of excessive waste of food by crude cookery.

Class IX. illustrates practical dietetics-army and navy rations, prison and workhouse diet, foreign dietaries, etc. In this class Messrs. Silver and Co., of Sun-court, Cornhill, exhibit their camp-kettle and camp-fire combined, which is a mess-tin with rations, having a self-contained heating apparatus for soldiers, sportsmen and travellers. Messrs. Silver and Co. also exhibit their " Norwegian," for cooking and keeping food hot, and the "Norwegian" Invalid Companion, for keeping beef-tea, etc., hot for many hours, without the use of fire or flame of any kind. Messrs. Moir and Son, of Leadenhall-street, exhibit specimens of army and navy rations in a tinned and compressed condition; and Mr. E. G. Huletts, of Bettertonstreet, Bloomsbury, shows a canteen, which contains in the smallest possible compass rations sufficient for a couple of days.

Class x. consists of publications, literature, models and diagrams relating to Group I.). Two firms exhibit under this head, but both show in other classes.

Class XI. illustrates apparatus and processes for conserving, storing, conveying and distributing fresh food of all kinds. The majority of the nominal exhibitors here, too, exhibit in the section devoted to machinery

hibited in this class; and Messrs. Stiff and Sons, of Lambeth, send a varied
collection of pottery-ware, including jars for wines, spirits and beer,
acid taps, etc. Mr. Edmund James, of Southampton-buildings, Chancery-
lane (No. 214), is the manufacturer and exhibitor of the
Ultra Feeding-bottle," the invention of Dr. E. O. Day, of the Royal Hos-
pital for Children and Women, Waterloo-road. It compares very favour-
ably with most articles of the kind now in the market, and obtained an
award of merit at the Medical and Sanitary Exhibition. The advantages
are that there are very few junctions; the cork and tube are in one piece,
and are made of vulcanised indiarubber, the vent-hole being in the neck
of the bottle. The bottle itself is quite plain, and smooth on the inside,
so that it is very easily cleaned, and there are no grooves or recesses to
form a lurking-place for sour milk to act as a leaven upon the fresh milk,
and no porous material is used in its construction there is no cork or
cork rim, and nothing but glass and indiarubber enter into its composi-
tion. The next exhibit is of the same class, and is by Messrs. Riley,
Charles and Co., of Langley-lane, Vauxhall. It is called the "Blue-bell New
Hygienic Feeding-bottle." It has a screw china stopper, and a milk pas-
sage takes the place of the ordinary tube; on the upper end of this
passage is a bell-shaped rubber, on the lower end a glass pipe. The
advantage claimed for this bottle is that it is easy to keep clean. At
Stand 216 Mr. W. J. Chervat, of the Kingsland-road, exhibits models of
brewers' casks made of Memel oak, to a scale of one pint to a barrel, and
are composed of the same number of staves, pieces of treadings and hoops
as the casks they represent; and at Stand 217 Mr. G. Fleming, of the
Strand, exhibits air-tight and lock corks. The remaining exhibitors in
this class will be noticed when we come to deal with those sections in which
machinery in motion is exhibited.

Class XII. comprises machinery and appliances for the preparation of

articles in the Food Group. A display of cutlery and electro-plated goods

is made by Messrs. Mappin and Webb, Mappin Brothers, Rodgers and Sons, of Sheffield, and Messrs. Elkington. Messrs. Pellivuyt and Co. exhibit French fireproof and other china used for the preparation of food. Mr. Maignen, of Great Tower-street, at Stand 223 exhibits the patent

Mr. Maignen points out that "fining" is putting a filter into the wine, and "filtering" is putting the wine into a filter. The fining takes away the colour, body and flavour of wine, thereby reducing its value considerably; but filtering by his process is simply straining the suspended impurities without interfering in the slightest degree with the character or value of the wine, but on the contrary improves it in quality by removing the germs of fermentation, which, when left in the wine, turns it sour. The same considerations apply to beer, cider and other fermentisable liquids. The wine filter, when fitted for work, stands upon a sort of tripod. upper part of the outer case of the filter is of the ordinary round shape, and the lower part has a wedge-like appearance.

over with a special cloth, which is easily laced and unlaced, and on the
cloth is deposited a layer of filtering paper, previously reduced to pulp and
washed. The filtering paper forms a perfect and even layer, which arrests
all suspended impurities. The filter is so constructed that the filtering.
frame can be easily taken out, the cloth unlaced, washed like a handker-
chief, and laced on again. The same principle is applied, slightly modified,
to the filtration of beer, syrups and chemicals, with considerable success.

The advantages are that the food remains unbroken, and in the case of vegetables is kept dry and of a good colour. Mr. Kite, of Upper Kennington-lane, London, exhibits an automatic meat baster, which he maintains saves about a twelfth of the meat roasted, retains the moisture of the meat, strains the grit out of the hot fat, and bastes continuously during the process of roasting. Sir F. Du Cane, the SurveyorGeneral of the Prisons Department, at Stand 241A exhibits models, which are a source of much attraction to the visitors. They represent cells, baths, etc., as provided at the Pentonville Prison; and as the details of prison life are always a matter of curiosity to the outside world we give our readers a detailed account of this exhibit. Each prisoner has a cell of not less than 800 cubic feet capacity. The window of each cell has a ventilator, which can be opened by its occupant to admit air from outside. The cell is supplied with warm air through a flue leading from a hot-air chamber under the floor of the corridors, which enters the cell through a grating near the ceiling. The foul air is extracted by means of flues in the opposite wall, the inlet to the flue being placed about twelve inches above the floor, and covered by a grating: this flue leads to a horizontal trunk in the roof, whence it is drawn through the extraction-shaft by the action of a furnace. A light is provided for each cell, accessible only from the corridor, out of the control of the prisoner, and a flue is provided for carrying off the heated air; a bell communicator is fixed in each cell, which sounds a gong in the 59, Bishopsgate Street Without, London.

inside with sheet-iron, and have a glazed hole with a drop cover in the
corridor used for inspection. In each cell are fixed shelves for books,
utensils, bedding and tin-ware, and a wooden table is affixed to the wall.
The furniture consists of a stool, chamber with lid, basin, water-can and
drinking-cup, and a wooden bed with mattrass and bedding; and in each
cell are religious, educational and library books. The cost of erection of a
cell of this description is stated as about £75, but when erected by convict
labour
averages about £40 only. A model is also exhibited of the baths
and latrines attached to a convict establishment. Besides the ordinary
conveniences for washing, each prisoner is expected to wash himself all
over at least once a week, for which purpose baths are provided. Each
bath is separate, hot and cold water is laid on, and all the arrangements of
this department of a prison are made with a view of economising time, so
that all the inmates may have their weekly tubbing within a specified
portion of the working day. A building of this description contains sixty-
four baths, sixty-six latrines, and four rooms above: its cost when built
by convict labour is about £930. In a couple of cases are also exhibited
the daily rations at Her Majesty's prisons, together with the table requisites
supplied for the use of the convicts. The dietary of each prisoner is stated
as follows: for breakfast, one pint of gruel and nine ounces of bread; for
dinner, five ounces of mutton (free from bone) and one pound of potatoes;
and for tea, a pint of cocoa and eight ounces of bread. We should have
been pleased to see alongside these models and specimens a similar display
from one of the workhouses of our large manufacturing towns, so that the
public might make a comparison of the provision made for the poor with
the sanitary and hygienic excellence to which our prison establishments
have attained.

The Dairies, four in number, which are situated at the lower part of the Food Gallery on the south side, are full of interest, both to the ordinary visitor and to that less numerous class of persons who, in their progress through the exhibition, like to speculate upon the various evidences of human progress which are presented to their view. Here may be viewed a well-appointed dairy farm, with its cows, milk-maids, churns, and men in etc., and of Chemists, Grocers, and Confec Smocks, and the whole place is as clean as hands can make it; but there is
