POPULAR SCIENCE.

Professors Fischer and Penzoldt, of
Erlangen, have established the curious
fact that the sense of smell is by far the
most delicate of the senses. They find
that the olfactory nerve is able TO detect
the presence of 1-2, 76O, 900, 900 ola grain
of mercaptan.
According to observations made in
Munich on a zinc roof which had been in
use for twenty-seven years it is estimated
that such roof 1-4Sth of an inch in
thickness would last for / ,243 years. 1t
was found that the rust of zinc, instead
of fastening, like iron rust, the oxida-
ton on the metal underneath, really pro-
tected it.
The Journal Of Reconstruction states
that an infant loses from three to six
ounces in weight during the first four to
six days after birth; by the seventh day
it should have regained its birth weight;
from that to the fifth month it ought to
gain about five ounces per week, or
about six drains a day; after the fifth
month, about four drains day; at the
fifth month it ought to have doubled its
birth-weight, and in sixteen months
Quadrupled it.
/ A new method of preserving and trans
porting fresh fish has been devised by
Mr.. A. r. Roosen, of Hamburg, and was
recently tried in England Il consists in
placing the fish in barrels Of steel, each
barrel being closed by an air-tight lid
Tilted with small valve connection, to
which is temporarily attached o tube
from a small hydraulic hand pump With
this pump water is forced into the barrel
the air being at the same time expeIled)
until the guage indicates pressure of
about sixty pounds per square inch: The
tube is then disconnected, and the bar
rel closed by the valve. Before the pump
ing begins the barrel is supplied with
sufficient fish to make the cargo, and an
antiseptiC solution of three per cent. of
boracic acid, tartaric acid, salt and water,
with ninety-seven per cent. of fresh
water. Fish have been brought in fresh
condition by this plan from Montrose,
Copenhagen and the Shetland Islands for
London consumption.
In the west of Scotland, Stevenson
found the average force of the waves for
the five summer months to be Gil pounds
per square foot, and for the six winter
months 2,086 pounds. He mentions that
on one of the Hebrides q mass of rock
weighing about forty two tons was grad
ually moved five feet by the waves in a
storm. Hagen records that in the harbor
of Cette block of concrete measuring
$500 cubic feet and weighing probably
1875 tons, was moved on its bed over three
feet. And now late observer, Mr.. E.
NJ. Nelson, rerorts finding on one of the
Shetland islands some granite boulders,
whose appearance indicates that they
have been broken from the cliff at the
waters edge as single block weighing
fifty tons, cast up 1870 yards inland and
thirty-fve feet above sea level, and
broken in three places. This tremendou.
rover Of the waves is constantly grind
ing away exposed coasts, forming new
land of the removed material, and thus
slowly but steadily changing the contour
OF the continents and inlands.

Two hundred years and moro ago the
beds in England were bags filled with
straw or leaves, but not upholstered OF
squared with modern ncatness. The bag
could be opened and the litter re made
daily. There We're few bedrooms in the
houses of ancient Eagand. The master
and mistress of the AngIc-Saxon house
had chamber or shed built against the
trwall that enclosed the mansion and its
dependencies; their daughters had the
same, Young men and guests slept IN
the great hall, which was the only no.
ticeabc room in the house, on tables Or
benches. Wooden covcrlids were pro-
vided for warmth; poles or hooks on
which they could hang their clothes pro-
jectcd from the wall; pcrches were pro-
vidcd for their hawks. Attendants and
servants slept on the floor. --Furm,
