WHAT PERFUMES ARE MADE OF
Combinations of Chemicals Used in
 Imitation of Flower Extracts
Iror, ,he cbicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 There are few perfumes today that can not be made from chemicals, synthetical- ly, as the chemists call 1t. Formerly all perfumes were extracted from flowers fruits, spices, woods or other vegetable and animal substances.
 The first perfume to be initiated was vanilla, in 1876. Heiotropine followed, being obtained by oxidation of byprod- uct of camphor. Terpinol is one of the most freely used constituents of per- fumes This is a near relation to turpen- tine
 iWth this, little oil and aqua fortis chemist can produce a perfume that can scarcely be distinguished from those exhaled by the lily of the valley. lilac and cape jessamine, varying according to the proportions in which the chemicals are blended Artificial violet is a combi- nation of citrol (an essence extracted from lemon) Indian vervaine or lemon yer bena, with common acetone, a substance very like pyroligneous acid.
 Most of the cheap perfumes are imi- tations and they are almost always in ferior to the flower extracts. So it might properly be said that it is wise flower that knows its own perfume.

BY AIR TO INDIA.
Valuable Prizes Are Offered For the
 Long Flight.

From the London Telegraph.
 The project for flight to India from this county, on an aeroplane is attract ing great interest in aviation circles, and there seems every probability of the plan Icing carried out before the end of the year. In India it is being supported by Il number of Indian princes and other potentates. including the Maharajahs of ,Iodhpur and Bikanir each of whom have intlmated to the advisory committee their willingness to give prizes of 5000 and 400O rupees respectively, and the Begun of Thopal has also offered prize of 5000 rupees.
 The Central News learns officially that the Royal Geographical society has rem dered every possible assistance in select ing a suitable route, which has been as follows: London. Calais, Brussels. Cologne, then following the Rhine to Frankfort, where diversion to Ratisbon will be made; thence following the north bank of the Danube. From Constant. nople the route will be to Konieh. Cilician Adana, Alexandretto, striking the Euph- rates at Meskene. then following the river to Bagdad, where the Tigris will form the course to be followed as far as Basra. As the plane will be fitted with water planes, it Is probable the avia- tor will proceed across the Persian Gulf Fo DuSHIe. IHe coast, however, IS lldf for that stage of the journey but it is Il longer route than over the water to Bushire. The remainder of the journey is by water 60 Karaehf.
 The distance is estimated at 4s00 miles, and would take about F days. The esti- mated progress each day is 400 miles No attempt, however will be made to create time records, but the idea is to test thor oughly the capabilities of the route and the machine.
 Several offers of machines have been received by the committee, but up to the present no definite arrangements have been made.

Passing Prosperity His Way

Its true, isn't it." said the quiet eit- izen to the politician, that times were never better than they are today.
 If you mean that everybody IS work ing it is suppose he replied.
 And that the average workman Is getting bigger money for his labor than ever before?''
 ''I don't know what the statistics show, but I'll concede the point
 And that more men own their own homes than ever beforeT'
 ''Yes, that is probably so.'
 And more people are going to the theatres and buying fine clothes and eat ing in downtown cafes?"
 That seems to be DO"
 And as far as you can tell every body seems to be happy. Women and children have smiling faces and they seem to be well dressed?'
 There does seem to be an air of pros perity, I'll admit"
 And yet you get up night after night and howl that the entire country Is go- ing to the dogs" Yes, but you don't understand want prosperity passed around How"
 Well, want one of those soft politi- cal jobs myself"

An Enormous Appetite
From Tit-Bits.

T lDii Ill-DllS.
 An amusing story comes to us from the capital of one of the small German principalities. The Grand Duke gave a big masked ball. at which everybody bad to appear in fancy dress or in. a long domino" cloak
 In one of tie rooms of the palace a well-stocked buffet had been arranged. and the walters soon began to comment upon the unusually hearty appetite of one guest, duly masked and cloak ed, who consumed large quantities of food and wine. It was observed that after several minutes of eating and drinking he would leave the buffet and disappear among the dancers, only to return again in a short time, his ap- petite apparently as strong as ever. After he had paid a number of visits to the buffet the head waiter became uneasy, and called the attention of one of the court officials to the eating capacities of the guest. The official agreed to stay beside the buffet for a few minutes. and, sure enough, up came the guest again. He was served with the food and wine he ordered, and af- ter another hearty meal he was just about to turn away when the official stepped forward.
 Excuse me- sir" he said. sbut may see your card of invitation to the | ball?'
 The other became greatly agitated and. the card not being forthcoming the official said, sternly: q must asl, you, sir, to remove your mask and cloak"
 | Several people had now paused te watch the scene. and when the hungr, man had unwilingly slipped off his mask and cloak q ripple of laughte, went round. The guest" turned oui to be one of the soldiers of the guard on duty in the hall below, l The soldiers had found domino and mask lying in the hall, and the, had been putting them on one by one 1 SO as to be able to go boldly into tn. ballroom and have each good feed al | the buffet

Scotch Lassie Sends Note

From the Cleveland Telegram to the
 Chicago Inter Ocean.
 In Aberdeen, Scotland. lives bonnie Scotch lass who Is wearied to death by the .'cannie, sneakie Aberdeen" and who is anxious to find someone who will take her away from it.
 At least such was the tenor of a letter received yesterday by Sydney Goulding, salesman for the B. T. Gill & Co, Aber- deen, Scotland they found letter ad- dressed to the one who found 1t. The workers, a trifle alarmed, turned the let ter over to the office force. MT. Goulding concluded that the letter was for him, and he appropriated 1t.
 T weigh seven stone." began the let ter which was signed with the unro- mantle name of Annie Calder, ''my hair is black, as are my eyes; am not so tall or so short"
 The writer continued to tell of her life there of the long days work, of the can nie. sneakie" town. and how she longed to get away from 1t.
 Wouldn't the man who found her let ter please write to her and tell her what chance there was here for a girl to get along? Even picture postal card would be welcomed.
 Goulding refused to say whether or not hs was going to reply.

Peerless Trucks

The locul agents for the Peerless car which has won a fine place as a pleasure car, are pleased to bulletin the coming of the Peerless truck, which has performed wonderfully in tests. Their statement fol- lows:
 Large capacity motor trucks with power dumping bodies have been found unusually efficient for the purposes of the coal dealer who has a large tonnage to deliver to public buildings, institutions and the like.
 Recently a five ton Peerless truck, equipped with such a body, was purchased by the Staples Coal company of Boston. It was employed almost immediately hauling coal from the company's wharf on Albany street to the statehouse, a dis tance of a little more than a mile.
 'The route lay through the busiest part of the city, but the truck managed to make Is trips In a working day, deliver ing 80 tons of coal. A five ton load hauled much more slowly would require three horses Such a team could at best de- lived no more than six loads.
 ''So the truck replaced eight horses and made the services of two men unneces- ssry."

 The Studebaker Cars
 The studebaker corporation, makers of
 the widely known "E. NJ. F." and "F'land- CTS, have on the streets now the 'Stude- baker" The new cars are built along ex- ceptionally graceful lines and are making a decided impression among users here. l Managers O. R. Reed Of the Stakeholder company and Judge Dan Greene, sales agent, are driving cars of the new type and are receiving considerable orders. The
 new car is not the 1913 make of the Studebaker, which fact was made excep- tionally plain yesterday by MT. Reed and Judge Greene.
 Ex-Mayor Ward on Automobiles Former Mayor George B. Ward, who is deeply interested in municipal problems, said yesterday that the solution of the downtown traffic congestion around of-
 flee buildings, he believed, could be
 worked out without the municipal garage.
 'I believe the cars should be made to stand full length parallel with the side
 walk" said MT. Ward. Tn that way only a limited number can get into the space and the traffic between the curb and the street car llne would not De n1nuereu. The cars should also be required to stand four feet apart, or some necessary space let which would permit egress and ingress to buildings between the cars. I believe in
 that way the whole problem could be
 worked out.
