Value of Sense of Smell
Proved in Discovery of
the Substance Selenium

Have YOU an ambition to found a
new science? Why not measure a
smell? Can you tell whether one smell
is Just twice as strong as another?
Can you measure the difference be-
tween one kind of smell and anotherY
1t Is obvious that we have very many
different kinds of smells, from the od0r
of violets clown 20 asafetlda. but until
you can Rseasure their likenesses and
differences YOU can have no science
OF odor writes Alexander Graham Bell
in Youths Companion.
In the first place we have to define
an odor. Is it an emanation of mate
rial particles into the air or is il a
farm OF vibration, like sound? If you
can decide that question, you viii have
the starting point for an entirely new
investigation. Ii ode is an emanation,

That q cultivation Of the sense Of
smell may be very valuable was proved
in the discovery OF the substance
selenium. In experimenting with the
waste products obtained in manufac-
turing sulphuric acid. distinguished
chemist noticed the characteristic
smell of tellurium-an odor that has
no counterpart on earth or In heaven
But the smell was tile only indication
OF the presence of the substance; all
the chemical reactions declared thar
there was no tellurium present in The
powder. The chemist therefore con
Guided that, if no tellurum was pres
ent, there must be new substance
there. as yet undiscovered, which re-
sembled tellnrinm. When he had ex-
tracted from the mass all the materials
that ne knew We're present, he found ii

POTATOES INSTEAD OF
WHEAT.

Use of potatoes to save wheat
IS demanded by the present stu
alton because greater quantities
of wheat must be conserved for
the use Of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply of potatoes remains
in the hands of the growers.
Great quantities of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in great
er variety Of ways than is Gus
tomary in American families.
With the basic price Of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is S13.70
a barrel, or z cents a pound. If.
then, potatoes can be obtained
at $1.20 a bushel, which is 2
cents pound, it is an economy
as well as war service to use
potatoes as a substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at 8
cents a pound the potatoes cost
no more than -four.
Ways to use potatoes in place
of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some of these
recipes are given here.

BEARS AT WORK IN THE GRAIN PIT Corn Went Off 21-2c to 3 3-4c-Oats and Provi-
 sions Trailed Behind

Chicago, September 10.-Big breaks in the value of corn took place today ow. ing to the bearish influence of the gov ernment crop report, together with fail- ure of predicted frosts and as result Of the embargoes against Buffalo and Minneapolis. The finish, although steady, was 21a @3s4 net lower. with October s1.54& c @1.547s, and November, s1,5S 5s a1.54. Oats lost 3s to 1c. In pro- visions the outcome varied from 40c de- cline to 35c advance
 Weakness in corn was pronounced from the outset. The main initial inn pulse to sell came from the govern ment estimates of yield, 72,000.000 bushels above what the trade had looked for. Bearish sentiment through out the day was also emphasized by reports that the territory in which the corn might be seriously injured by frosts had again scored a lucky es- cape. In the final hour attention cen tered chiefly on notices that railway congestion was acute at Minneapolis and was also affecting traffic on three roads into Buffalo.
 Discouraged holders made a conse- quent general rush to sell, and last prices were nearly at the lowest poin, reached
 Oats. like corn, were bearishly af- fected by the embargo news and by the government report.
 Provisions averaged lower with grair despite a new high price record foi hogs
