importance to us for the artificial preservation of animal food; such provision packed in ice will not undergo decomposition, because the water that it natu- rally contains as a leading proximate constituent, is rendered solid or frozen by the low temperature ; and in such state, although still consisting of Oxygen and Hydrogen, it is incapable of promoting those changes or new arrangements of the ultimate elements of or- ganic matter which are called putrefactive, as it is ca- pable of doing i...n the liquid form. Such frozen provision, if very slowly thawed, and immediately submitted to culinary operations, becomes wholesome food ; if not, it rapidly putrefies, as it would in a recent state. During the Winter in Russia, large and beautifully transparent blocks of ice are quarried from the surface of the frozen Neva, and stored up in cellars for the pre- servation of food; oxen and sheep are slaughtered, dismembered, and allowed to freeze ; the joints are af- terwards packed in casks $nd sent to market; and although so hard as to require an axe to break them, the flesh softens by the thawing of the ice when im- mersed in cold water and is fit for cooking.
