SCENT Of Dogs.

Dogs not only smell odors in an occa-
sional way, but they likewise seem to
extract q recognizable odor from almost
everything. As Prof. Groom Robertson
also suggests, Anacharist knows me
when-I am dressed In clothes he never
saw before, by his nose alone. Let me
get myself mp in theatrical costume,
and cover my face with q mask, yet he
will recognize me at once by some, to Us,
undiscoverable perfume. Moreover, he
will recognize the same odor as clinging
to my clothes after they have been taken
of. If shy pebble on the beach he
can pick out that identical pebble among
q thousand. Even the very ground on
which / have trodden remains to him
faint memento of my presence for hours
afterward A bloodhound can track
human scent q week old, which argues
delicacy of nose almost incredible to hu-
man nostrils. Similarly, too, if you
watch Anacharist at this moment you
will see that he runs up and down the
path, shifting away at every stick. stone
and plant, as though he got separate
and distinguBhable scent out of every
one of them. And so he must, no doubt;
for If even the earth keeps perfume of
the person who has walked over it hours
before, surely every object about us must
have some faint smell or other, either OF
itself or of objects which have touch,
It. When we remember that single
grain of musk will scent hundreds of
handkerchiefs SO as to be recognizable
even by our defective organs of smell,
there is nothing extrayagant In the idea
that passing creatures. may leave traces
