DANGEROUS odors.

Some smells are dangerous. a sim
gle sniff Of highly concentrated prus-
sic acid will kill a man as quickly az
a shot through the heart. The odor
of a bad egg is due to the presence Of
sulphureted hydrogen, and the OBJ
jectionable perfumes Of sewers and
bone factories are attributable chiefly
to the same gas. Chemical laborato-
ries, are famous for bad smells. Ber-
zelius, who discovered the element
called "selenium," once tried the eX-
pertinent of permitting bubble of
pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter
his nostrii. For days ,afterward he
was not able to smell strong ammonia,
the olfactory nerves being temp rarily
paralyzed. Selenium gas has the odor
of putrid horseradish. Tellurium is
even worse. There is a story Of a ply
stefan whose patient lady, refused
to take an absolutely necessary rest
because she was So fond of being al
ways in society. He gave her a pill
containing a small quantity of tellu-
rum, and her breath was affected by
it to such an extent that she was not
able to appear in public for month.
She never guessed what the trouble
was. The yolatilized essential oil Of
roses Isl supposed to cause rose
