DELICACY OF SMELL.
Almost Twice as Great in Average Man
Than in Woman.

Than in Woman.
Very careful experiments have
lately been made to test the delicacy
of the sense Of smell in human beings.
A series Of solutions of five different
substances was prepared, each series
being so arranged that every solution
was of half the strength of the pre-
ceding one. These series were ex-
tended by successive d%ilutions till it
was impossible to detect the odors.
The order Of the bottles containing
these solutions was completely dis
arranged, and the test consisted in
the attempt to classify them by the
sense Of smell alone. An equalnum-
Der Of male and female observers were
selected from the best apothecaries'
shops, and each was required to ar
range 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
were able to detect j. in the solution
of one part to S11,OOO Of water. The
oil Of wintergreen was detected in
about the same proportion and to the
same extent Of dilution. There was,
therefore, a very great preponder-
ance in favor of the males as to the
sensitiveness and discrimination OF
the sense Of smell. This is certainly
an astounding actl-Gentleman's
