SCIENTIFIC TESTS.
Wastage During Sea Voyage Of Food Products. ENGLISH EXPERIMENT. LONDON, October 29. Britain's latest rural eccentricity—a model of a ship's hold —is on the point of completion at East Mailing, Ivent. It is to be left stranded out in the country to allow of the latest scientific tests to be made for the reduction of wastage in fruit and meat during voyages from the Dominions to the London markets.
The motion of the sea, of course, cannot be reproduced, but the produce to be placed in the structure will, in every oilier way possible, be subjected to conditions such as would obtain on the way to England.
The model of the hold really is part of the Cambridge low temperature research station which is financially supported by the Empire Marketing Board.
