tered in nature. Gas can be weighed.
but the wisest scientist has not yet been
able to weigh scent. A grain of musk
has been kept exposed in a room to which
the air had free access for ten years,
and during all of this time the air, though
constantly changed, was thoroughly inn
pregnated with the odor. The most re-
markable point in connection with this
experiment was that at the end of that
time the particle of musk had not sensi-
bly, diminished in weight.
Perfumes are claimed to be both in
furious and beneficial. In several in
stances singers and public speakers have
been troubled with throat affections,
which they discovered were caused by vi
olet perfume. 1t is claimed that as long
as a flower has any odor whatever it is
injurious, and that the violet is the great
est offender. On the other hand a Latin
writer has put on record hundred per
fume remedies for various diseases. and
the violet figures most prominently in
his list. Lavender is said to be soothing,
and ii is claimed that the lavender
scented sheets of our grandmothers were
splendid sleep producers. Jasmine is
said to be good as a general tonic.
Another instance in which nature has
demonstrated for cleverness is that of
the Spanish bayonet. which is so abundant
on the mountain slopes and foothills of
California. The stalk grows to height of
about Is feet. and acquires diamater Of
from six to eight inches. On single one
of these stalks as many as 5000 bios

that this service is performed for the
plants by a small white moth which
makes nocturnal visits. This little insect
goes to one flower and accumulates the
pollen by rolling it into a little ball with
its feet Thus laden the moth flies away
to another bloom and deposits its load.

several successful experiments with the

Lost People Who Are Never

For DAYS l have been watching newspaper

belonged to the United States navy. 1t was
manned by thirty odd men-officers and naval
seamen-and started out from Norfolk. va,
about a week or ten days ago, on snort "Trip
