WONDERS OF SMELLING.
Keen Noses which Detect Persons and
Metals Correctly.

Brooklyn Eagle
James Mitchell, who died In or about
1893, In the county OF Marin, In Scotland,
and was born blind, on Nov. II, l795, re-
cognlzed, says the "World Of Wonders"
different persons by smelling. The famous
Mr. Movie mentions blind man at Utrecht
who could distinguish different metals by
the different odOrs; aud Martials records the
case Of person named Mamurra, who
could tell by smelling whether copper was
true COrinthian or not. Italian travellers
have recorded that certain natives who
habtually abstained from the use OF animal
food have sense OF smelling which Ia so
exquisitely delicate that they can tell from
which well vessel OF water has
heen obtained. 1t has been re-
lated that by smell alone the negroes OF
| the Antilles will detect the footsteps OF u
Frenchman from those OF negro. Marco
| Narci has left an account OF monk In
| Prague who could tell by smelling any
| thing given to him who had last handled IT..
| The guides who accompany travellers In the
| route from Alleppo to Babylon will tell by
smelling the desert sand how near they
are to the latter :place. Nathaniel Wonley
IN his "WOnders of the Little World" IA
nous old book, gives u particularly full ac-
count of u man called John OF Legc who,
when boy, flying In terror OF soldiers In
time Of war, passed many years alone In
the depths Of the forest Of Ardennes, where
ae lived upon roots and wild fruits, the
presence OF which he could at least detect
from great distance by the smell alone
In the same way he detected the presence
of men long before they came In sight.
