An experiment which demonstrated
the capacity of steel to endure greater

A Frenchman has found a method of
extracting the perfume of flowers with
out crushing or killing the blossoms
1t consists in immersing the flowers
in water which. as it becomes charged
with the odor, is gradually withdrawn,
while fresh water takes its place.
Afterward the perfume is isolated from
the water with the aid of ether. 1t is
said that by this method some flowers
whose perfume had never before been
extracted had been successfully treated.
The process has been notably efficient
in the case of the ly-of-the-valley.

He drove to the place and found about
