Defects of the OlfactOry Sense.

Referring to the prevalence of color
blindness, physician asks in the London
Lancet: 'Is the sense of smell exception,
ally free from like defectsl l think not.
In his evidence; relating to the case OF
alleged poisoning by chloroform at Pim-
hco, DR.. Stevenson likens the smell OF
chloral hydrate to that of lemon. Hay
ing always felt that the odor of the for
mer was accurately represented bysthal
OF the watermelon, and having vainly en-
deavored. to trace the faintest fese'1-
blance itSit to that of lemon, l have
asked myself whether I am sutferin
from a defect of the olfactory sense.
Wti9ch, in the absence of a name for l.,
venture to call anosphresis. Perhaps
some of your readers, ancluding the emf
nent analyst referred to, will kindly
put me right in this matter, the subiec'
being, as it seems to me, one of great i'm
portance in medico-legal investiga-
tions." 4"

The ground under clumps of china

A writer in a French medical treatise
has discovered a remedy for that mos,
annoying affliction, the hiccoughs. It
consists of refrigeration of the lobe of the
ear. Very slight refrigeration, such as a
drop of cold water, is said to be suf-
icient.
The Carthagenians invented a sort of

Of wooden frame like a sledge, into
which a certain number of rollers, set

round when drawn over the floor by the

Wildcat wells, or the phrase, origi-
mated, Charles A. Ashburne, geologist,
says, in 1947, when party of men cut
loose from civilization in Northern Penn
Sylvania and carried supplies with them.
While they were prospecting for oil
wild cat made havoc with their provisions,
and, though they killed the wild cat and
struck oil, they were forced to return to
community. Ever since that time all
frontier wells, which are chiefly useful
in breaking the markets, have been
termed wildcat" wells. Mr.. Ashburne
thinks the meridian of the oil yield has
been passed, and that the supply Of
natural gas is limited.
From time immemorial eels have been
much esteemed by epicures-more per-
haps in ancient days than they arc now.
Aristotle and Aristophanes mention cells
in terms of high praise. Blythe Egyptians
eels were regarded with great adherence
as the embodiment of an evil demon, but
other nations did not share the prejudice,
for the Beotians, who were celebrated
for their eels, used them as sacred offer
ings. Nilsson, in his "Travels." tells Of
VOW made by the inhabitants of Tar
racina, seaport of Italy, when besieged
by the Turks. They vowed to offer
twenty thousand eels year to St. Bene-
dict if he would deliver them from their
peril.

A Quaint English Custom.

John Bull has always had an affection
for the old ways. So persistent is he in
keeping to the forms and traditions OF
the past, that his French neighbor over
the way has dubbed the United King
dom 'Museum of Antiquities" among
modern nations.
1t is somewhat odd that the Norman.
French of Edward the confessor should
still be the language, the legal voice Of
parliament, but so it is. Whenever bill
has passed the commons, the clerk, be.
fore he forwards it to the house o.
peers, writes upon It, according to the
ancient usage
"Soit baille aux Seigneurs," Let it be
sent to the lordsl
If it is sent from the peers to the com.
mons, it bears the like Endorsement
"Soit baille aux Communes" Let it be
sent to the Commons
Should bill pass both houses, it need
only the royal assent to become a law.
Here the Norman-French appears again.
The commens, summoned by the UsheI
of the Black Rod, are admitted to the bai
of the house of lords, to hear the state.
ment or her majesty's commissioners.
When all are assembled, the lord chan
cellor makes a sign to his assistant, whG
reads the title of the bill, and lphen says,
in loud voice, 'La reyne lie yeult" [Th
queen wills it].
In the case of financial bills, the form
is this: ''The queen thinks her good
subjects, accepts their grant, and so will
it."
For private bills the form is: "Let il
be done as is desired"
Sometimes, if the bill is of special im
portance, the sanction of her majesty il
given in person. In such case, thu
queen, seated on the throne at one end OF
the chamber, bows her assent as the clerk
reads the title. She might in theory re.
fuse it by her "veto," but in practice
such phrase as 'La reyne avisera" (Th
queen will consider, which was former.
ly used as the royal veto, has not beeA
heard IN parliament since the time OF
William the Third - Youths Com panion.

In recent prizo essay DIR. Monin
has given an interesting collection Of
facts and assertions concerning the vari-
GUS odors impaired to the human body
by the perspiration and the secretions
of the skin. A keen faculty of recog-
nizing differences in the body odor has
been known in some individuals,
although it is less common in civilized
than in savage people. Cadet de Gas
sicourt instances young lady who
could distinguish men from women sim
ply by their odors, and a Hungarian
monk claimed to be able to decide in a
similar manner on the chastity of fe-
males. Alexander the Great, according
to Plutarch, exhaled On odor of vio-
let's, and one of musk is said to have
been emitted by Malherbe, Cujas, and
Haller. The ordinary skin odor is
mentioned as sulphurous and some
what repulsive, although brunettes are
said to smell slightly of prussic acid and
blondes of musk. Fat people often
have an oily smell. Age, race, and
nervous affections influence the odor,
and Burrows has even declared that no
would regard certain odor as positive
evidence of insanity. The smell of the
breath is influenced by food and de-
composing substances in the body, and
frequently by gases which have been
inhaled for considerable time.

l Poisonous Honey.

At the last meeting of the Bee Keep.
ers' society in Dresden, Henry Bley, a
pharmacist, brought forward the subiec
OF poisonous honey, some, he claimed,
having been imported from Trebizond.
He attributes the noxious property to the
gruwth of Datura Stramonium in the To-
cality in which the honey was produced,
and said that cases of sickness, in one
instance followed by death, had been
officially established He also alleged
with what reason it does not appear that
some American honey has been found to
contain poison derived especially from
gelsemium.-Aedicqt and Surgical Re-
