Loss OF MATTER WITH oDoRs.
Interesting Experiments Conducted

dellcacy of the necessary measure
ments has hitherto prevented exact
determination OF this loss OF weight.
These measurements have recently
been effected by the celebrated
French chemist. Berthelot. who re-
Gently gave the Paris Academic des
Sciences the particulars OF series
Of experiments made by him.
THE object OF the experiment was
to determine how much strongly
odorous material loses In weight by
the exhalation on which the spread
Ing of its odor depends. 1t will be
readily understood that the meas
urements necessary to determine the
desired facts must be of extreme del
icacy. and this has been the reason
why previous efforts in this direction
have been failures. Incidentally
Berthelot had determined that a
gram of iodoform lost In one hour
one-millionth part of It's weight. Al
this rate, the stuff would lose In one
year s.160 mlllionths, or less than

one-nundredti part or miligram

therefore, 1t would require more
than a hundred years Ito be more
accurate, over ia years) for one
single miligram OF that substance to
be used up in odorous emanations
alone. When one remembers tho
pungent efficacy OF that odor, ono
cannot but be astounded at the fact.
Those remarkable figures are, how
ever, far surpassed, when the savant
comes to consider musk, the loss Of
which, In the same length of time. Is
far less. or in the neighborhood of
only one-thousandth part of the
same. So small, indeed, is 1t, that
any degree OF absolute accuracy in
its determination is out of the ques.
tion. In this connection, we would
say that Berthelot has devised pro-
cess by which 1t Is possible, using
the facts which he has determined in
this direction, to detect minute fall
sifications in odoriferous bodies.
I'm considering the statement
made In regard to musk, we are re-
minded OF fact related by those
who have visited the mosque of 81.
Sophia. at Constantinople. 1t is re-
lated that when the walls OF the cele-
brated edifice were in process OF
construction, large amount D.
musk, the contributions OF hundreds
OF pious pilgrims, was mixed in with
the mortar used in the masonry, and
after the lapse of thousand and
more years, the odor of the sub
stance is yet plainly discernible. Es-
pecially Is this the case with those to
whom It is disagreeable, and to
those who enter the building on
damp 'muggy' day"

Liberty Versus Anarchy.

In various ways society puts the ban
upon license as the corollary of lib
erty. The bars are up at every turn
to tell the reckless and irresponsible
that there is a limit. Free speech and
freedom of the press are actually
hedged about by drastic laws, and the
vast majority is satisfied.
Every normal man admits that the
preaching of anarchy from the plat
form or in print is licentious, crime
committed in the name of liberty. Peo-
pie who condone or defend such con-
duct in good faith are the worst enc
mics of their own principles. Violence
reacts. The Paris '.reds" who broke
out during the commune in 1901 &C
complished nothing for liberty. They
were vigorously suppressed. Any gov
eminent has a right to suppress a
fragrant abuse of the liberty which 1t
holds i'm trust for all the citizens.
