vAGARIES OF SMELL.
Is Sense Dying Out Among Civilized Men?-Some of Its Uses.

Is the sense of smell dying out among civilized men? Psychologists tell us that although an entire seg- ment of the brain-viz., the olfactory lobe-is apporttoned to the olfactory fbers, what we now possess is prooa- bly, the mere remnant of once pow erful mechanism" In the brute crea- tion, says the London Spectator, the sense is much keener. although among the lower aquatic animals It Is lndis- criminately blended with that of taste and in the toothed whales Is nonexist- ent.
 On the other hand, dogs, especially those that have been trained to hunt by scent, seem to depend upon that faculty almost entirely, even to the exclusion of their eyesight. Generally speaking, sweet odors are more per sistent than their opposite, the sul- phuretted compounds In particular evaporating rapidly on exposure to the atmosphere, although the smell of de caying animal matter Is said to en- dure for days after the cause of 1t has been removed. The olfactory sense, however, usually becomes blunted in time when assailed continuously by any one odor; workmen In the big per fumeries become case hardened to the fragrance of their surroundings and "noscpain" is fortunately more dead eninx in its effects than most forms of physical suffering.
 Again, different smells do not mix; it is said that if the two nostrils are stuffed with different substances, we smell first one and then the other, al ternately, but never blending of the two together.
 Among human individuals the sense of smell, like those of sight and hear ing, varies considerably, and certain persons seem to be quite unaffected by certain odors; just as others are "color blind" to certain colors. or "tone-deaf" to the shrill call of a bat or the chirp- ing of a cricket It Is true that we may claim a superiority to the brute crea- ton in the range of our susceptibility to various odors, for the carnivores seem to be quite insensible to the scent of plants and flowers, while the herbivores pay little attention to ani. nal odors, except for the purpose of detecting the approach of enemies.

USE OF PIGEONS IN WAR
Japanese Have Scored a Success with
 Travelling Lofts.

Japanese Have Scored n Success with
 Travelling Lofts.
 With an army on the march the use or pigeons as messengers has SO far proved a failure all experiments to get these birds to return to a loft contlnu- ally on the move having been void of success, says the Pilgrim. Japan has. however, with the tenacity of purpose for which she is famous, scored Il suc. cess with travelling lofts Such lofts are stocked with birds as soon as they are old enough to leave the nest. ana the birds are kept confined within it until required for use. The whole loft Is then transferred to the military base, or temporary post near the scena of operations, and the birds, then sev- eral months old, are given their liberty for the first time Not having flown te another locality, they quickly settle down to their new surroundings, and in a few days are familiar with the country for miles around Every op- portunlty is seized to give them addi uonal experience before being actually used in the service. and to keep open communications with an advance col umn, or for scouting work, these tray cling lofts have proved invaluable Should, however, the base of opera tions be advanced. or temporary post abandoned, the birds are at once dis carded and X new loft transferred 10 the altered surroundings.
 Scouts, both mounted and on cycle, each carry from four to six birds in bamboo cage. slung after the fashion of a knapsack and thus reports are sent back without the necessity of their leaving their post of observation For great distances two birds may be flown with the same dispatch, but this is seldom required. the usual custom being to repeat each message on sub sequent birds, so that the final pigeon liberated would not only carry its own, but also a copy of the messages sent by the birds first liberated. It must be understood that the flight of the pg- con would be seriously impeded were 1t to be burdened with any great weight, and consequently dispatches are written on specially prepared slips Of rice paper These. contrary to the general impression. are not tied round the birds neck, but are rolled and placed in a celluloid holder, fastened by two clips to the birds leg and are thus carried close under the tall of the bird when it is in flight The total weight of this carrier which is manu- factured by Belgium firm, is under four grams

in 1S42 from the Indianapolis district. The father was man of strong parts and of illustrious ancestry. In his youthful days General Wallace dis. played tendency to neglect the op- portunites which his fathers position gave him. He hated books and schools. and remained at school only so long as it was impossible to avoid. In this manner he acquired but little real fundamental education.
 Previous to the outbreak of the Mexican war General Wallace had un- dertaken the study of law When the call for soldiers came he was among the first to enlist. He was not yet 20 years old, but his services were 80 the war lieutenant. At the close of the war he married Susan A. Elston, widow of a pioneer of Charlottesville, and the two have lived happily togeth- CT ever since Their tastes are con genial, Mrs. Wallace herself being an author who has achieved much sue cess in several books which she has published Among the best-known of her writings is Along the Bosphorus," a story the material for which was ac- cumulated during the time General Wallace was minister to Turkey, to which post he was appointed by Gen eral Garfield with the understanding that he avail himself of the opportunl ty to write another novel of the Ori- ent that should follow the lines of Ben Hur The result of this promise was The Prince of India" novel which quickly attained popularity and which for time threatened to out rival Ben-Hur. Mrs. Wallace has also written The City of the King" The Repose of Egypt brightly descrip- tive tale of Egyptian life. with which she familiarized herself during the so- journ of herself and General Wallace In Europe; The Land of the Pucblos," written when General Wallace was Territorial Governor of New Mexico, and which is given the distinction by critics of containing more romance and local color of New Mexican his. tory than any other book yet pub. lished.
 The story of the writing of "The Prince of India" is an interesting one When Garfield was elected President he sent for Wallace, who was close personal friend, and during the con versation offered to make him minister to Constantinople on the condition that he would write another book during his stay In Turkey. The proffer was accepted by General Wallace. During his voyage to Europe Garfield was as- sassinated, but Wallace considered his promise to write book sacred pledge. The Prince of India" was the result. It, like Ben Hur.' is being dramatiZed.

 With the nippy fall days she puts on her emeralds and sapphres. On bright, sunny day she wears pearls. but never on a gloomy day, for she says pearls are nothing but tears, any way, and the combination of pearls and clouds would be too depressing to endure.
 On rainy days she wears opals be cause they promise brightness and clear days to come. Her rubies, gar nets and diamonds she saves for win ter weather.
