Racial Odors.


Racial Odors.
TJAPANEsE physician, DR.. Burtaro
[ \ Adacki, has recently published some
remarkable observations on the odor of
Europeans, an odor which, the doctor
tells us, does not please the people of the
Orient, says the Globus, Of Brunswick,
Germany. This physician states that "it
Is certain that the Western peoples pos
sess a natural odor which is not perceived
by them. but which is clearly perceptsble
to the yellow race" After a certain length
Of time, however, both japanese and Chi
nese who have taken up their residence
in Europe become habituated to this odor
1t being the experience of these European
residents that the odor of Europeans,
which at first was intolerable, after sew.
eral weeks residence becomes support
able.
Every living animal possesses in general
a characteristic odor, horses. dogs, cats
&c, man himself having an emanation
which Is a part of the race and which may
be individual and variable with age and
condition of health. The sudoriferous
glands produce the emanation perceived by
the sense of smell, although it Is true that
the Chinese and japanese have little or no
odorous emanation. When these races
perspire their perspfration has no odor, a
fact which Is doubtless chiefly a question
of race, although also one of alimentary
regimen. In the white races observers who
possess an acute Sense of smell can dis
tnguish solely by this means those per-
sons who follow a vegetable regimen and
those who eat meat, at times the differ
ence between these two classes of persons
being very pronounced. The individuals
who nourish themselves on meat exhale,
under the influence of the fermentation of
cutaneous secretions. a much stronger
odor than vegetarians Experimenters in
ethnography know that there exist pro-
vincial odors, the odor of Brunswick be-
ing different from that OF Bavaria, that Of
Savoy different from that of Normandy.
The japanese are chiefly vegetarians, and
for this reason their skin exhales odors
which are scarcely perceptfble; but here
clothing plays Ats role. for IL we super
impose many layers of tissue closely
around the body, perspiration is produced,
and with 1t the odor OF assassination

Language Most Spoken.

THERE are 3S2, 200 Chinese speaking
the same language, making Chinese
] the most spoken language. There are
many dialects which are entirely
different that they seem scarcely to be-
long to the same tongue. The Inhabitants
of Mongolia and Thibet can barely under
stand the dialect of the people in Pekin.
Putting Chinese aside, the most spoken
languages are as follows, In millions-Eng-
lisih, 120; German. 70; Russian, 6s; Spanish,

Spectacles for Chickens.

N the near future we may expect to see
we'll bred chickens wearing spectacles.
If this should happen the reason will be
not because chickens are shortsighted
or nearsighted or subject to any other
ocular defect. but because their eyes are
likely to be injured during their early and
reckless days. A chicken whose eyes are
injured, however valuable 1t may be from
the butchers standpoint, is an abomina-
ton to the breeder of fancy poultry. be-
cause he knows that 1t stands very little
chance of obtaining a prize or even hon.
orable mention at any show.
A new device. which is styled by the
inventor an eye protector. is composed Of
two frames and two straps. In each Of the
frames Is a transparent plate, and az
elastic U-ehaped strap is attached at its
ends to the frames, while another strap is
connected with the first strap at right
angles thereto. The spectacles can be
on a chicken in a second or two
and. once in position. they form an ef-
fective guard against dust and other inn
purities.

Thus we see that life is only everlasting
alienation Of sombre reality and iuttering
dreams of happiness There is no haven OF
rest You thrown hither and thither by the
waves until the waters ergulf you. Something
like this is the programme OF the first movement.
The second movement shows suffering in
other stage. IL Is feeling OF melancholy such
as fills when sits alone at home,
hausted by work; the book has slipped out of
ones hand; r swarm OF memories arise in ones
mind. How sad that much has been and is
gone. and yet 1t is pleasant 10 think OF the days
OF ones youth. We regret the past and have
neither the courage nor the desire TO begin a
new life. We are weary of life. We wish re-
fresbEnent, retrospection. We think Of happy
hours when young blood still sparkled and
efreryesced sn6 life brought satisfaction. We
think OF moments OF badness and irrepressible
losses. But these things far away. so far
away II is Sad yet sweet, 10 pore over the
past.
No definite feelings came to expression in the
third movement. These capricious ara
besQues. intangible figures which fit through
the fancy il one had drunk wine and become
nor sad. We think of nothing but give free
rein 10 the fancy which hunlors itself in drafting
the most singular iines Suddenly there arises
the memory Of drunken peasant and a ribald
cong. Military music passes by in the
distance. Such are the disconnected images
which fit through the brain one sinks into
elumber. They have nothing to 90 with reality:
