Acute Sense Detects
Clash of Flints

Every boy who has struck fints to-
gether to make sparks knows the
typical odor that arises from the clash
He also knows that the whittier the fiints
the more smell they emit. This phe-
nomena has ben observed for centuries.
but scientific men have ben at a loss to
account for 1t. Many explanations have
been given, but experiment has proved
all Of these to be erroneous.
Now, however. two Italian scientists
tee brothers PiCcardi. have demonstrated
that the smell of spark emitting fiints
is due solely to the minute quantities
Of organic matter that are upon the
stone ard that are burned by the sparks
This organic matter need be in only
the most minute quantity. such as may
be left by water in which lChens. weeds
or water plants have dcCOmposed. for
the OlfaCtOry nerves are so eXQuisitely
sensitive that they can detect the burn
ing Of almost intnitcsimal bits of mat
ter.
The deliCaCy of these nerves is proved
nv She fact that even after the pebbles
have been washed in lye the smell OF
burning can still be detected.
But If the pebbles be heated in fire and
then stuck together at points that the
hands have not touched there is abso-
lutely no odor at all.-EXChange.

on him. Make sure that they are your
very best; | don't want any mistake"
Yes. sir. These are the very highest
grade"
Come to think of it, you had better
make 1t five-pOund box. instead. The
same kind as those you showed me.
Yes, sir, certainly"
And make it mixed chocolates and
honbOns. And let me pick out a box /
like. Haven't you something with VlO-
lets on it? She is particularly fond OF
viOlets, and | want this to be just
right. No, ! like that design better, the
one in blue and gold. Let me have that.
Here, he more careful about the way
you do it up. No. there isn't any card

neat-looking package of it while you
are about it,"
The clerk tied IT. up carefully, then
passed il over the counter. As he took
the bill in payment he smiled ever so
slightly, and remarked: 'Thc young
lady should be very much pleased with
that, sir"
Young lady nothing! That box Is for
