Testing the Sense OF Smell.

Two psychologists, Profs. NicnOls
and Browne, have been making ex-
perimcnts TO show the relative feeble
ness OF women's sense In respect To
smell They took four odoriferous
sui stances-essencc OF cloves, or gar
lie, lemon, and prussic acid. With
these they filed a series OF bottles up
TO a single part In 2, 900, 000Af water.
They then shufled the bottles add
called In forty. four men aud thirty
eight women, all young and healthy,
who, guided by their sense OF smell,
should arrange the bottles contain
ing each tincture by itself. The re-
suits show, az the reporter testifles,
that the women we're not In IL. The
nose OF no woman could trace lemon
beyond the 100, 900 dilution, while
men discovered IL up TO $50, 900 limit.
Prussic acid could not be detected be-
yond the 20, 900 mixture, while men
recognized IL at a 100, 900 part mix
ture. There were two men, how
ever, with phenomenal noses, who
identified prussic acid up 70 the

two men have been mercifully con

ORIGIN or LYNCH LAW.
~ Begsn In Virginia and Was Not Violent
or Mohlike.

ar Mobilize.
Lynch law had its origin In Viz
ginia, according TO the conclusion OF
q gentleman who has been investigat-
ing the early hi tory OF that State.
il was not mob law, rs IL is now un-
ierstood. Ii was orderly, methodical
and fair in its process and was
strongly opposed TO violence or mob
rule. Its distinctive feature was
simply that its DEGREES and findings
were executed sternly and lsviftly
upon the spot or their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is asso-
ciated with the summary proceedings
now known as acts OF 'lyn n law, F"
was a revolutionary soldier, and alter
the war ended took up his residence
in Pittsylvania County. The region
in which he lived became at one
period OF the Revolution infested by
bands OF tories and outlaws, whose
dcpredations upon the defenceless
people extended from the lower parts
Of North Carol na aud Virginia 10
the passes OF the Blue Ridge and the
head waters OF the James and other
mountain streams. Deserters from
both armies added strength and a
semDlance OF organization 10 their
operations. Wherever they appeared
the terrorstricken inhabitants were
pluudered. harrassed, and mercilessly
subjected To every variety OF insult
and outrage. A remedy was needed
for this insufierable state OF things,
a remedy that should at once strike
such terror 10 these miscreants ms
would relieve a community air, ady
suffering from the effects OF hostile
invasion. Col Lynch was the man
TO take the lead in such an emer-
gency. He succeeded in organizing a
body OF patriotic citizens, men OF
known character and standing. Hav-
ing laid his plans before them, and
securing their approval, he at once
proceeded 10 put them into execu-
tion. At the head OF his followers
he promptly got upon the track OF
the unsuspecting enemy, captured
many and caused the Others 10 flee
from the country. When any OF
these outlaws fell into his hands they
WNtS NV tdhCh az phNS w wv ahN
hanged II tied TO a stake and shot,
as is now done under the perverted
system OF the present day. This was
not according To the code OF Col.
Lynch and his followers So far
from such a lawless procedure a jury
was selected from Lynch's men, over
which he presided as Judge; the cap
tives were tried separately, the ac-
cused allowed to make his own de-
fence, and TO show cause, IL he could,
why he should not be punished. II
found guilty, the punishment was
inflicted on the spot. The general
impression has been that In all cases
OF Lynch law the penalty was death.
This is a mistake. A writer who
knew Col. Lynch we'll was assured by
him that he never willingly convicted
a criminal TO capital punishment;
that prisoners were frequently let OIL
with a severe fiogging and then liber-
ated on condition that they would
leave the country.

law. CHASING janitors with the human

If you go to New York apartment
house with the intention of inspecting

you will discover at the door a bell
| over which is the inscription "Janitor's
bell" If you have recently moved to
New York you will probably ring this
bell under the impression that by so
doing you will cause the modern cave
man to emerge from his den. This is u
common delusion with strangers in
Gotham. Not all the skill of the most
expert Swiss bell ringers will produce
the desired result. The janitor, like
most wild animals, prowls around at
night. He is, moreover, pessionately
fond of any fluid that intoxicates, and
during the day he lies in his den in a
stupor. In some instances he is credit
! ed with sufficient intelligence to mutfle
the bell with old rags so as to avoid be-
ing disturbed.
The only way to arouse him is to de-
scend TO his underground retreat, and
