Compressed Flour Bricks.

In England much interest Is taken by the army and navy authorities in a new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour is squeezed into the form of bricks and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of Insects, while it Is equally secure from mold.—San Francisco Chronicle.
