secret OF Charm Lies in Fer Individ-
u%ality-Is a Born Talker.
The American woman is delight
fully pretty, often extremely love
~, but rarely classically beautiful,
says the London World. Beyond
all women, perhaps, does she pos
sess the gifts of expression and
genius for pose. With her the
sense Of knowing what is proper
to do under certain conditions
seldom fails. She knows her
strong points physically and how
to throw them into most striking
relief.
An American wOman's taste in
dress is as perfect as anything
car ne in this imperfect world.
OF her genius for adapting herself
to her environment there can be
no question. Such a mere acct
dent Of birth as the one which
gives her a pork butcher or a pat
erj Dillmaker for her father is no
drawback to her ultimate career.
One secret of the American
woman's charm is her individual.
ity She is always original and
gay and merry, generally anna
he, and more often than not good.
tempered. All American women
are born takers. and they possess
the faculty Of interesting their
listeners in subjects no more 0c.
cult than a visit to the milliner's
or "momma's" love of 'tomay
toes" To her husband the Amer
'ican may be capriciOus, inconsid
crate, selfish, exacting, but in hel
relation to her children all the
nobler qualities of her character
come out. In them she forget'
egotism and is ready for self-sac
rihce. AS years lay hold upOl
her she becomes more and more
disciplined by her children anC
more and more obedient. In thit
phase the American is at once ;
pathetic and curious spectacle.

Balloon Shooting.

Several interesting experiments
have been carried out by the Aus
trian army to ascertain the posi-
bility Of disabling a balloon when
floating in the air by either rifle or
gun fire. A balloon was anchored
at the height of about 1000 feet,
and the gunners, kept inignOrance
of the range, were then ordered to
disable the balloon. The difficulty
of hitting the balloon when in mid
air can be realized from the fact
that the gunners fred % shots be.
fore the approximate range was
found and that it was not till the
sixtyfourth round that the bal
loon was hit, then only slightly.

MAKING OXYGEN FROM AIR.
Interesting Operation Used BY an Io.
company OF Los Angeles.

company OF Los Angeles.
A plant for the manufacture Of
oxygen to be used in charging its
distilled water was put in opera
ton recently at an ice plant in Los
Angeles, Cal. Oxygenated water
Is now being prescribed by physi-
clans in certain diseases, and
hence a cheap and simple method
OF separating the oxygen in the
atmosphere becomes a matter of
Importance, says the Washington
Star. The process employed by the
Los Angeles company is based on
the principle that a certain chem
cal compound - manganate Of
IOda-readily parts with the Oxy-
gen it contains when subjected to
the action of a jet Of steam. \
blast OF air on the residuum re-
forms it into manganate of soda,
this chemical possessing the pc
culiar property of absorbing Oxy-
gen from the atmosphere, parting
with it when exposed to steam,
and being reformed again upon
exposure to the air. The process
may be- continued indefinitely,
when the ingredients are placedin
the retort and proper. connections
from air and steam made. No
more chemicals are required. 1t
may be likened to dipping a
sponge in water, squeezing it dry
and then repeating the operation
indefinitely.
Oxygen made by this process, it
is claimed, contains no gas other
than oxygen, and no elements Of
any description other than slight
traces of atmospheric nitrogen.
Hence it requires no washing to
free it from chlorine. nor any puri-
fcation whatever. The oxygen.
direct from the retOrts. is stored
in gas0meters and then forced
into distilled water by means Of a
Twitchell carbOnating machine.
which pumps the water and oxy-
gen at the same time, thoroughly

The bottling is done under a pres

sNAIL's SENSE OF SMELL.
Can Detect doors with Every Portion
OF Its Small BODY.

OF Its Small BODY.
According to the researches OF
Emile Yung the sense of smell in
the snail seems to be located not
only in the feeling organs, but all
over the body, as experiment
proves that the snail can perceive
Odors by means of sensOry cells
which are placed in different parts
of the body, quite apart from the
special organs which might be sup
posed to be his only means of SEN
satiOn, says the Scientific Amer
lean. The idea of SensOry cells of
this kind distributed over the
body of an animal is an interest
ing one, and is clearly brought out
in M. Yung's expriments, which
form the subject of a paper read
before the Academic des Sciences.
He observes the large snail (heliX
POmatia) which is common in
France. 1t has been generally ad
mitted since the observations OF
MOquin-Tandon that the snail has
a good sense of smell and the or
gan is seated al the end of the
large feelers. Hence the term OF
nasal organ which he gives to the
latter, and the expressions olfac
tory ganglia or phinophOric, etc.
which a number of scientists now
use for designating these nerves
and ganglia.
The writer explored the body OF
the helix with a camelS hair
brush dipped in a n%oncorrosive
odorant, such as essence of cam
omile. He finds that if the olfac
tory sensibility exists in the large
feelers it is not localized there ex
clusively. The small feelers, the
under part. the skin of the back.
and, in fact, the entire surface not
covered by the shell, is affected
by the odor. The numerous ex
periments which he made show
that the snail is still in the stage
of diffusion of the olfactory sense
and can in fact smell odors at all
parts of its skin, as Cuyier already
supposed. The feelersaremores sen
sitive to Odors than in the back.
etc, but, contrary to the opinion
of MOquin-Tandon, a snail which
had its four feelers amputated did
not change its manner of living
and was able to find its food; il
also fled from disagreeable or.
harmful odors. A micrOscopical
examination of the different nerve.
cells did not show any reason for
giving a special sense to any part
of the body to the exclusion of the
other. The cells differ from each
other by their number only. He
considers that the cells are capa.
BILE of receiving different sensa-
tons such as shocks, heat, odors,
etc. AS to the distance at which
the snail can smell OdOrs: He
places a dozen or more snails
(which have been deprived of food
in a circle and put different kinds
of food in the center. When the
snail perceives the odor he is al
tracted toward the middle. In
most cases the attraction took
place at a small distance, an inch
or more. Distances higher than
this were obtained only by foods
giving a very strong odor; very
ripe melon. No substance at.
tracted farther than 16 inches.
