At the Chemists' Congress last week, in Vienna, Dr. Lilienfeld made the startling announcement that he had discovered a method of producing artificial albumen with absolutely the same nourishing qualities as are found in that obtained from organic being. I did not at first see how that would affect meat bot before I arrived at the end of the article I discovered that in addition to the eyes which I hud always connected with albumen, the fruit of the cocoanut, flour, various kinds of meal and meat are rich in it. For the new invention it is claimed that whereas it would cost, say, £1 a week for a family's meat-bill of fresh meat the same quantity of artificially produced albumen which Dr. Lilienfeld claims contains an equal amount of nourishment could be supplied for from 3 to 4 shillings. One aust confess it sounds ing down to a 2 dish of vegetables and a modicum of peyton, but the saving of expense espeually to a large family would be enormous.
ted that chemists in all ti atones in Europe are engaged in making experiments hoping to discover the doctor's secret which he naturally is carefully guarding. If the discovery is really of value the first patentee of it will reap a golden harvest, but it seems probable that the c"veted prize will go to Vienna. Dr. jenfeld is 29 years old; by. birth he n Austrian Pole, but he was educated in Germany.
