The Odors of Metals.

MANY persons are sensitive to the
4Nt. Characteristic odors Of metals;
others deny that metals possess any
odors, and support their opinion with
the assertion that no substance can
possess an odor which does not give on
by volatilization invisible floating par
ticles.
A series of experiments has been
made, regarded as proving the exist
ence of odors emanating from all met
ais. At ordinary temperatures these
odorS are, in many cases, almost i'm
pertHptible. But they become stronger
when the metal is heated. Yet If the
heating is continued a long time the
odor disappears. The conclusion has
been reached that every metal produces
continuously a gaseous matter, COM

Intense excitement prevailed for

most of 'em with their cues in hand.
The prospect of a rough-house with
the gang that had thrown three OF
us into jail wasn't entirely displeas-
ing.
There wasn't any muss, however.
Most of the Fir Forks fans weren't
in on the frame-up. and they pos
sessed that good old American spirit
of fair play. The gambling group
found it would have to buck public
sentiment as well as an eager little
outfit of college huskies. They de-
cided to call the rough stuff off and
step outa the spotlight.
Not until Monday morning, how
ever, did we secure the release OF
Crumb. Clay and Tuffy Doyle. JUS
tice Griggs expressed an opinion
there was not enough evidence" to
hold 'em, and the town marshal re-
leased them from his ~hoosegow. The
marshal seemed very sick. Proba-
