GENERALLY speaking, sweet odors are
more persistent than their opposite, the
Suipnureted compounds IN particular
eyaporating rapidly on exposure to the
atmosphere, although the smell Of de-
caying animal matter is said TO endure
Tor days after the cause OF it has been
removed. The olfactory sense, how
ever usually becomes biunted in time
when assalied continuously by any one
odor. Workmen in big perfumeries be-
come case hardened to the fragrance OF
tneir surroundings, and nose pain is
fortunately even more deadening in its
eHects than Host forms OF physical
surering. Again, diherent smells do
not mix. IL is SAID that If two nostrils
are stuffed with different substances
we smell hrst one ana then the other
uiteriia'eiy, put never piendihg OF the
two together. This Is probably the
case WIN the lower animals, too, aud
