HAND MYSTERIES.
Mans ''Lesser Side" Works to Keep
the "Strongcr Side" Free.

Mans Lesser Side" Works to Keep
the stronger Side" Free.
A group of men. which included
salesman for a Chicago cigar house,
stood talking near the news stand in
hotel when the subject Of cigars came
up.
Say. Striblen," said one of the men,
you're a cigar salesman. Tell ne why
it is that all smokers hold their cigars
to the left side of the mouth"
'They don't" replied striblen-"that
is. all don't 1t is only the right handed
men who do. Left handed men hold
their cigars in the right side of the
mouth. The reason. I have been told,
Is this: 1t is natural with all men To
make their lesser side do what work
ii can to keep their stronger side free
that 1t may meet emergencies. II q
man has package 70 carry he holds
it in his left hand IL he is right handed !;
il he is left handed he holds it in his
right hand. In either case the hand
be has the most confidence in is free
I for emergency use. This same idea he
stretches to cover the muscles Of his
/ lips 1t isn't the possibility that he
+ may need the muscles on the right side
/ for emergency use that makes the right
handed man hold his cigar In the left
/ side Of his MOUTHS Just that idea
about his whole lesser side that makes
him do it."-Denver Post.

THE SENSE OF SMELL.
Gas, According to a Scientist, Is Its
Fundamental Basis.
JANE.


Is the sense of smell excited by gases
or particles? According to DR.. John
Aitken, an English specialist. gas is the
fundamental basis of the sense of
smell. In experiments he first investi-
gated musk, of which it is possible to
detect by smell a microscopic quantity
inconceivably minute, a fact well
known to scientists. DR.. Aitken car
ried out his researches upon the cloudy
condensation basis, according to which.
if odors are attributable to particles,
the latter form nuclei Of cloudy con-
densation in superSaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case Of musk no such nuclei
were detected. proving that musk does
not give off solid particles. but evapo-
rates as a gas or vapor. and that it is
gaseous particles from the musk that
act on the sense of smell OF twenty
three other odorous substances not one
gave its perfume in solid particles,
nothing but gases or vapors escaping
from them.
DR. Aitken points out that the nos.
trils appear to subStantiate this theory.
The perfume of snuff. for instance. is q
soft. velvety sensation. while the effect
of the solid is sharp and biting, more
allied TO pain than pleasure.
