NEW VEGETABLE FOODS.
The number of vegetable species recognized as good for food bears a small proportion to those that are not so recognized. Yet botaniets tell us that if a wanderer starves in a forest, he perishes from gorance and not from lack of available nourishment; for woods and fields are full of plants, berries, and ronts that can - sustain life. M. Gabriel Prévost, writing in Za Science Francaise (October 12), tells us that we are too much slaves of routine in this mat ter. Our present garden vegetables are culti- vated varieties of wild species; why do not our horticulturists seek for other wild plants that could be introduced with profit to our tables? A fortune, says this writer, awaits him who does this successfully. To find any scientific investigation of the subject one must actually go back inore than a century to a book published in 1781 by M. Parmentier, a member of the Paris Cullege of Pharmacy, royal apothecary major," "and. possessor

AMERICAN GUNS IN ENGLAND.
The Ariari says that American guo-makers have been considerably disturbed by the steady failure of their barrels to stand the tests applied by the Birmingham proof-house; a failure which of course excludes them from the English market. There is no such institution as a proof-house in the States, and guns sent over to England unmarked must undergo the legally prescribed tests before they can be stamped with the marks that make them eligible for sale in England. All breech loading Thot- barrels of 10-bore or less, having chambers 3 inches long or more, are proved with a charge exceeding the ordinary definitive proof charge by one-sixth and they are proved "in the rough." If they come safely through this ordeal they are tested arail with the when 'ordinary definitive proof charge " finished; that is to say, they are tried with the maximum charge they are destined to fire, and passing this less exacting test receive the of other titles in such number as
mark" Now, as American guns bear, no Crowd his title-page somewhat uncomfortably, marks at all, the finished guns are submitted to The full title of his work reads: Researches the tests which are applied to English barrels on Nutritious Vegetables that in Times of Want in the rough; and, the United States Consul at May Replace the Ordinary Foods. With New Birmingham warns the American trade, it is Observations on Potatoes." The patata, which

had been testeil and every barrel bulged or as a staple, but M. Parmentier was not so successful with the other new vegetables that
burst under the strain. Hence if American he sought to indtroduce. Says M. Prévost, inmakers wish to compete with the English in the latter's market, the only thing for them to do speaking of Parmentier's work:
is send over barrels in the rough for proof, have them home again, and send them back made up for the final and less severe test..

"In matters of eating, we are the slaves of routine. Except in certain cases where there a panlonable repulsion, as with the flesh of the toad or the lizard, it is hard to explain how we can condeiun off-hand so many farinaceous and herbaceous substances when with few ex- captions all the plants that surround us are edible and capable of pleasing even the most fastidious with their delicate taste.
"Parmentier mentions in twelve pages eighty-five plants that, even without cultiva tion, and without going out of our own coun- try, could furnish us with vegetable food. It goes without saying that horticulture would do wonders with many of them, after careful selection for three or four generations.
"The author gives three lists; 1. List of uncultivated plants whose roots contain starch, which may be extracted to make gruel or bread. Among these are the iris, bryonia, ranunculus, and saxifrage. 2. List of uncultivated plants whose farinaceous seeds or roots can be used whole for food, Among these are the wild jacinth and dissus and the wild tulip 3. Finally, a list of uncultivated plants whose roots, although not farinacęgūs, may be used. whole for food. Among the are the white asphodel, a large number of archida, etc.
"Parmentier was the fiscewindicate the use' that may be made of farinaceous food substances by drying the seeds in an oven and then pulverizing them. He notes very justly the advantages, for soldiers and sailors, of having a very healthful form of fod that requires only a little water and salt for its preparation. Even at the present day we may return with profit to this idea and perfect it. from mentioning the names of those who have 'invented' condensed soups, etc., orie’hundred and ten years after their real inventor, Read Parmentier's chapter on Nutritive Powders and Tables.'

"We are far from pretending that science has made no progress since the days of Par mentier. We leave such bits of humour to pre- tentious pedants like Brunetièrė. But it is precisely because its processes and discoveries have made such gigant e strides that we wish to transform into real tits what, with Parmen- tier, were in the state of mure desiderata. Give, for instance, to an expert scientific horticuf turist like M. Vilmorin the problem of increas ing the root at the expense of the stalk or vice versa, such a strike against nature will present no more difficulties.to him thun a game of cricket. Likewise, by fertilization and scien tific selection, we may now obtain veritable transformation of an original plant much more easily than our ancestors reached the present
forms of fruits and leguminous vegetables, which are nothing but victories won by man over uncultivated species of detestable flavour.
•
In these conditions, a learned cultivator desirous of making a fortune (supposing that such a person exists) should lose no time in trying to accomplish for legumes what Alp. honse Karr has attempted to do for flowers, We will wager that he will find more customers for the former than for the latter. We may be shy, at first, of a dish of iris à la maitre d'hôtel, or a saxifrage salad; but the papers will relate how Berhardi or Coquelin ate and liked them, and then the iris and the saxifrage will become popular, like the potato-that child of Parmen- tier that caused a parent so much trouble."

ELECTRIC TRANSIT AND CITY POPULATION.
After the census of 1890, there was much comment on the enormous proportional in- crease of cities in this country at the expense of the rural population. Some prophets of evil, assuming that this tendency would continue, predicted that it would result disastrously for ibe country. But the present year's census in dicates, apparently, that these fears were ill- founded, for the rate of gain has not been kept up. The comparatively small increase of city population in this census as compared with that reported in 1890 has caused no little sur- prise in many quarters of the United States. What is the cause?. If we are to believe an editorial writer in The Electrical Review (October 31), we are to thank the trolley and the telephone. Says this paper in a leader entitled

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY -
THERAPION
This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Volpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPIÖN No.1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs,, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does irreparable harm by laying tho foundation of stricture and other serious dis- eases. In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower howel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.
THERAPION No. 2, for Impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains, and swellings of the joints, secondary symp- tomis, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all
