only to hold your head perfectly

with your hand, if necessary, and turn
slowly around until your back is to-
ward the river. Now take careful note
of where your hat brim cuts the level

Deiicacy of smell.

Very careful experiments have lately
been made to test the delicacy of the
sense OF smell in the human beinks.
A series of solutions of FIVE different
substances was prepared, each series
being so arranged that every solution
was at half the strength of the pre-
ceding one. These series were eXtendI
cd by successive dilutions till it was
impossible to detect the odors. The
order OF the bottles containing these
solutions was completely disarranged
and the test consisted in the attempt
10 classify them by the sense of smell
alone. An equal number of male and
female observers were selected from
the best apothecaries, shops. and each
was requested to arrange the bottles.
The males were able to detect the smell
Of the nitrate of amyl in the solution
OF one part to $4,000 of water. and the
females We're able to detect it in the
solution of one part of3l1 GOO of water.
The oil of wintergreen was detected in
about the same proportion and TO the
same extent of dilution. There was.
therefore. very great preponderance
in favor Of the males as to the SEN
sitiveness and discrimination of the
sense of smell. This is certainly an
astounding fact.-Tha Gentleman s
