Stevenson, at his own request, has been de-
tailed on special chronological research in
connection with the Smithsonian institution.
The exceedingly valuable collection in the
National museum in the institution, due al
most wholly to his Investigations and labors,
shows how successful has been the character
of his work. His most recent Investigations
have been to the Navajo and Zuni tribes of
Indians, in which work he has devoted care
full study to their NEUROLOGICAL religion and
customs. In connection with this work he
explored the habitations Of the Cliff Builders

Odors of "a Chinese City.

All Canton smells to heaven, if one
will accept it that that realm ever views
this noisome cesspool and sewer trap of
the Chinese empire, and Coleridge, with
all his training with the smells of CO.
logne, would find lifetime too short to
count and classify the separate odors Of
Canton. The Pearl, or Canton, river,
beside which the city is butt, and on
which great city of boats exists, does
not pretend TO wash Canton, and the
widest fable and legend could never in
vent a Hercules omnipotcnt enough to
attempt the cleaning Of it. The actual
sights of Canton, the temples, ragodas
and things put down in the guide book,
are most disappointing, but fill one with
