"« Chicago, IN.--Six lives were known' to have been lost and two million dol- lars' worth of damage has been done at Terre Haute, Ind., and Jacksonville, IL, in the third flood to sweep the, Central West in ten days.

'A concern on Long Island has succeeded in perfecting a simple _ package that will keep the fish dry and in good eondition for travelling and which may be gent either by express or by parcel poety depending on the size. A writer in "Packing and Ship- ping". (New York) has the following to say of these packages: "The cartoms run in four sizes to carry 12, 20, 30 and 50 1bs., and when filled make unit packages weighing 19, 28, 89 and 60 lbs. ; "Ome unique feature of the shipping carton is the insulation inside. This is in the form of air chambers which are filled with dry sea grass and a top cover of the same kind provided. The edible parts of the fish are wrapped up in 2-b. packages, in vegetable parchment paper and tied with a rib- bon of tying material. No preservative is qsed. y "The success of this. new system is attributed to the fact that by having a' hermetically sealed compartment with , the" pre-cooled, a low tem- perature is maintained until the box is opened. at destination. In fact, it has beer found that a fish carton can ride 43 hours without damage to the contents." : Canada is fortunate in possessing vast quantities.of suitable insulating sea weed (eelgrass) cloee to its At- 'antic fisheries. Each tide brings in its quota of leaves torn by the tides from vast submerged flats of the growing material. This is gathered by ox teams and hailed out on the gravel beaches to dry, much liké hay.
