It is hard to imagine that earth would be used for chaice as food, and yet suchTHE has been the case in many countries during fa mine. The Laplanders mix earth with their bread, the Russian peasant uses a 'rock four, and the poorer classes in Hungary are driven occasionally to eat an earth which contains but a trifling proportion of nourishing pristiples. The use of seaweed as food is an example of the determining factors of both necessity and environment. It is not a little astonishing to find what a number of seaweeds are really edible MODERATE PRICES, and nourishing. Perhaps the best known ex. ample in this country is laver, which is a kind of slew made from a weed, an alga (Porphyra laciniata). The laver made on the Devonshire coast, and to be found in some London shops, is excellent. The sea algae, indeed, prove on analysis to contain a considerable proportion of nitrogenous matter, and as they are usually tender they are digestible. There are also se veral soa mosses which are esteemed for their esculent properties. Agar-agar is another ex- ample of a seaweed yielding a nutrient jelly. t is supposed that the edible birds' nest so highly esteemed when prepared in the form of soup by the Chinesa has its origin in the birds far feeding upon agar-agar.

Among other odd articles of food, the writer thinks it proper to enumerate the turtle, since it is the only example of an edible reptile, at least in England.
