exist, the rate is found to be very
small. Experiments along this line
were first undertaken IN England and
additional data have been reported
in this country.
With ammonia diffusing through a
tube a meter and half long. more
than two hours elapsed before the
smell could be detected at the other
end of the tube. Using different
lengths Of tubing. 1t was found that
the time required for the diffusion Of
the smell was roughly proportioned
to the square of the length.
Ammonia and hydrogen sulphide
were used for these experiments.
The presence of ammonia could be
detected chemically at a point in a
tube after about the same time as
when the sense of smell was used
for a detector. The rate of propaga-
ton of the smell of ammonia was not
markedly different when this had to
pass along the same tube either hori-
zontally or vertically downward,
With camphor. however, while the,
rates horizontally and downward were
about the same, the speed upward
was about twice as great. The smell
given to iron and brass by rubbing
these with the fingers was also tried.

Observing them together, one could
see how proud he was Of her and his
relationship to her; how he felt that
he had captured a prize. regardless of
the conditions by which il was re-
tanned: while she held him rather
lightly in her thoughts or her moods.
Having won her back. he now
sought to bind her to him in any way
that he might, while she wished only
to be free. For surcease she plunged
into those old activities which had SO
troubled him. and now in addition to
himself the child was being neglected.

saw nothing more of him for several
months. when he came to report that
all was we'll with him once more.
In order to seal the new pact he had
taken a larger apartment in more
part of the city. Bessie was
going on with her club life and he
was not opposing her. And then
within the year came a child, and for
the next two years all those simple
honey and seemingly binding and re-
straining things which go with the
rearing and protection of a young
life.
But. as l was soon to learn. even
during that period all was not as
smooth as might be. One day in
Wray's absence Bessie remarked that
delightful as 1t was to have a child
of her own, she could see herself as
little more than a milk COW with a
calf. bound to its service until It
should be able to look after itself
She spoke Of what a chain and a
weight a child was to one who had
ambitions beyond those of mother
hood. But Wray, clerkly soul that he
was, was all but lost in rapture.

himself seemed to awaken from tho

It was all due to one of those two
