A Scheme That Is Said to Improve the
Sense of Smell.

A Scheme That Is Said to Improve the
Sense of Smell.
''The most striking fact connected
with my school career" said the prep
school graduate, was a peculiar abil-
ity on the part of our commandant to
detect the faintest odor of smoke In
a room on his daily inspection. The
school 1 attended was Of the military
variety. and smoking was rather Sc
rious offense. No matter how much
room had been aired or famed with
wet towels previous 70 the Inspection,
the offender was always caught.
After / had received my finishing
touches and become a citizen L made
so bold as to inquire from what pc
culiar dispensation of providence the
ability was given to detect one mole
Guile of smoke in a hundred cubic feet
of pure air. The old boy smiled and.
binding me to secrecy. impaired the
reason of his wonderful ability. Then
he took me to a boys vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with it and sniff. Lo and
behold. where before there seemed
no faint in the atmosphere was now
detected that smell of old tobacco
smoke! Since then 1 have taught
school myself and have used the trick
occasionally. entirely for experimental
purposes. however.
ct have also sought the scientific eX-
PLANTATION, but with little success. 1t
may. however. be somewhat analogous
to the process Of tasting. You know,
it is impossible to taste anything that
is not dissolved in water or is not
LIQUID itself. So the moisture on the
nostrils must carry the small particles
of smoke in a more or less damp state
to the olfactory nerve ends and thus
make the smell more apparent. At
least this is the only explanation l
have ever found for the phenomenon.
1.-The same thing can also be used
for detecting other odors, and have
found it useful on a number of occa-
sions for this purpose. both in analyti-
cal chemistry. when only a small par
ticle of a certain material is available
for analysis. and in detecting faint per-
fume from flowers that are ordinarily
quite odorless. Chicago Record-Her-

Liverpool, May 10-Wheat opened
easy in sympathy with the decline in
America and the weakness in Winni-
peg, together with the decline in
Buenos Aires yesterday Later May
shorts covered freely, together with
speculative support in July. and the
market became firm, with offers light,
due TO light arrivals here and the ex-
pected heavy decrease in European Wis
ible and corresponding decrease in the
worlds visible as shown by Brad
streets yesterday. The support in dis
tant months was attributed to sympa-
thy and on Tumors of continued dry
weather in southwestern Europe and
