Beneficial Effect Of Vegetable Per
fume.-An Italian professor has made
some very agreeable medical researches,
resulting in the discovery that vegetable
perfumes exercise n positively heaithful
influence on the atmosphere, converting
its oxygen into ozone, and thus increas-
ing its oxidizing influence. The es-
senees found to develop the largest
quantity OF ozone are those Of cherry,
laurel, cloves, lavender, mint, juniper,
lemons, fennel, and bergamot: those
that give it III smaller quantity are
anise, nutmeg, and thyme. The hogers
of the narcissus, hyacinth, mignonette,
heliotrope and lily Of th valley, develop
ozone IN closed vessels. Flowers 1esti-
tute Of perfume do not develop It, and
those which have bat slight perfume
develop IL only in small quantities.
Reasoning from these facts, the pro-
fsssor recommends the cultivation Of
flowers in marshy districts. and in all
places infested with animal emanatiens,
on account Of the powerful oxidizing
influence Of ozone. The inhabitants
of such regions should, he says, sur
round their houses with beds of the
most odorous flowers.
