PLANT ODORS|N

let's and narcissus says the Philadelphia
Telegraph, What then, is 1t which causes
the odors of flowers and the noxious
nasal annoyances of moulds and other
lowly plants? NJ Eugene Charabot the
able chemist. now PUSHES into the breach
in an attempt TO explain all this.
What is plant odor? Where does II
come from? How is It distributed? Why
are some of them fragrant and others
malodorous? After 1Q-year research
Independently and along with All Hebert,
NJ Charabot now attempts TO answer
some of these queries.
There are two great groups Of odorifer-
Gus vegetation. In the one division the
fragrance emanates and is found in the
flower of the plants, in the other the
odors spring from the green parts or
the plant. The rankest compound of VII
famous smell that ever offended a nostril
Is found in the latter. whereas the balm
lest, most ambrosal bouquet of redolent
scents is to be obtained from flowers.
The odors usually, he says. make their
earliest appearance in the young, green
SioOtS. inenct they continue 10 aCcufnu-
late until the plant flowers. Then the
odorous compound migrates from the
leaf into the stem. and thence into the
inflorescence and obeys the we'll known
laws of diffusion.
When fertilization of the plant takes
place some of these oils are used up
by the flowers. while at the same time
the green parts are called on to make
more of these fragment oils.
The practical outcome of this is that
to harvest the perfume oils yielded by
the plant 1t should be most profitably
carried out just before fertilization oc-
ours. For after this the odorous prin-
cipes appear to descend again into the
stem and generally into the organs other
than the flower This migration is prob
ably caused by the whitening and drying
up of the inflorescences.

wEkTz WILL RECOVER
Now Out of Danger at st. Vincent S
Hospital

Robert A. Weltz, assistant traffic chief
of the Postal Telegraph company. who
was shot in the back several weeks ago
by Mary Allie Cole, at Twentieth street
and Park avenue, is now out OF danger
at st. Vincents hospital. after having
made a herculean effort for his life.
1t was stated, however, that 1t would
be several weeks before Weltz would be
able to leave the infirmary, as he was
still in very serious condition and final
recovery would be slow, but that owing
to the excellent physique and endurance
of the young man his ultimate recovery
was assured.
At the Southside JAIL where Miss Cole
has been confined since her arrest, it was
stated that she had completely recovered
from the nervous shock which followed
