Pre-Coiumbian VOYAGES.

Concerning the subject of the discov-
cry of America John Fiske says:
Nothing can be clearer from survey
of the whole subject than that these
e-Columbian voyages were quite bar
rem of results of historic importance.
In point of colonization they produced
the two i'll fated settlements on the
Greenland coast and nothing more;
otherwise they made no real addition
to the stock OF geographical knowl-
edge. They wrought no effect what
ever upon the European mind. In no
sense was any real contact established
between the eastern and western
halves of our planet until the great
voyage of Columbus in 1892"

Psychologists have long known that
many sensations ordinarily ascribed
to taste are in reality due to smell,
but this fact has been made clearer
than before by the Investigations of
German savantS. Air enters the OIL
factory chamber where the nerves
connected with the sense of smell are
centered. both through the nostrils
and through an inlet leading from the
mouth. In consequence a breath of
perfumed air manifests its odor not
only when it is breathed in. but when
it is breathed out. For this reason we
are sometimes deceived as to the
source of the pleasure we derive from
things taken into the mouth, the agree
ableness of the impression being due,
i'll some cases. rather to smell than to
