After leaving Seetland Air, Hobson
spent sixteen days in Loudon, where
he frequently met Mr. Wm. Cooper,
the President of the Great Metropoli-
tan Meal Market Assocdation, also
Chairoian of the meat section of the
London Chamber of Commerce. He al-
so met some of the largest retail meat
dealers in London, and spent consid-
erable time at the Peptford cattle mar-
ket. This gave hint an ample oppor-
tunity of studying the dead meat trade
and especially the chances of enlarg-
ing the trade between. Canada and
Britain. On Icing asked to state his
views on this subject Mr. Hobson said.
that Ce.nad.lans had the matter entire-
ly in their own hands, that with a
proper system of cold storage and an
up-to-date method of doing business
a limit could hardly be put upon the
amount of buminess that might be done, ,
as there was absolutely no feeling
whatever in England against Cana-
dian meat. It is eimply a question, he
said, of producing a better olass of 1

hitherto with Canadian meat, he said,

quality, the percentage of good being
alt•orrether too small for the quantity

says, was equal to the best Scotch or

The retail butehers prefer having the
meat eight or ten days old, and as a
proper system of cold storage does not
injuriously affect the meat at all the
time of passage across the ocean is if
anything an asivantage, so that all the
Canadieta exporter has to do is to seintl
only what is wanted, which is the best
only.
Mr. Hobson says that he saw it great ,
deal of New Zealand. and Australian
mutton on the English market. The ,
very I•est was then selling by the ear -
case at six and a half cents per
peund. In his opinion Canadians '
nee,' never think ot building up a
large trade in that line, having, as
they would, to compete against the
mutton sent from these countries.

?LORD ilAYOR'S PARADE,
SANITARY SCIENCE IN ENGLAND.
Remarkable Redaction In the Death Rate
During the Vietorlan Era.
Some interesting statistics collected
by Dr. Louis Parkes to indicate what
sanitary science has done towards the
preservation and prolongation of hu-
man life in Great Britain during the
Victorian era, show that the mortality
from small -pox had diminished. by 96
per ceat in 1891-5, as compared with
the mortality in 1838-42. In the same
period, the deaths from fever had de-
clined 82 per cent.; while since 1871-5
there had been a decrease of 95 per
cent itt the mortality from typhus, and
of 60 per cent, from enteric fever. Since
1861-5 the mortality from scarlet fev-
er had fallen 81 per cent., although
that from diphtheria had risen in re-
cent years, and was now very much
the same as it was thirty years ago.
In zymotic diseases there had been a
decrease of 24 per cent., and in measles
21 per cent., though epidemics of meas-
les and whooping cough were as com-
mon as when the Queen came to the
throne. In phthisis the mortality had
fallen 46 per cent. though it was still
high. Cancerous diseases, on the oth-
er hand, would apiatea,r to have increas-
ed, nor was the whole of the increase
attributable to more precise diagnosis.
Agu.e had been nearly eradicated owing
to the better cultivation of the soil.
Only those who died from acute alco-
holism were returned as having clied
from the effects of drink, yet the
deaths from that cause were as num-
erous as they were twenty or thirty
years ago. Dr. Parkes holds that the
general effect of improvement in san-
itation is such that 600,000 persons have
reached the age of 21 years who would
have died at the beginning of the
Queen's reign. A curious fact pointed
out by Dr. Parkes is that the expecta-
tion of life diminished in males after
26 years, and in females after 44 years
ofage.

A FEATHERED SURGEON.
A story is told which would indicate
that swallows have considerable sur-
gcal skiill as well as intelligence. A
certain physician found in a nest a
young swallow much weaker than its
mate, which had one of its legs band-
aged with hOrse-hairs. Taking the
hairs away he found that the bird's
leg was broken'. The next time he vis-
ited the nest he found the leg again
bandaged. He continued to observe
the case," and in two weeks found
that the bird was cautiously removing
the hairs, •a few each day. The cure
was entirely successful.
