Science Is Required
In Making a Bouquet

different odors. intended TO give 10
the basic odor what we may call
character-lively odors on the one
hand and soft odors on the other
In bouquet of heliotrope and lily
of-the-valley. it is good to place the
violence of the jacinth. the warm
sweetness of the orange, the pene-
trathing delicacy of the mignonette or
the violet. and something of the
strength exhaled by the gillyfower
or the carnation. Finally. we finish
by placing at the edges reminder
of the basic odor.
At first sight these rules appear
somewhat artificial and conventional;
this is true in certain degree, but
conformity with them is none the
less useful. N bouquet is symphony
of odors, and should we not grant
that in making it we must follow
rules as rigid as those of harmony?
1t is grave mistake to hold that
flowers should be grouped with
view solely to the pleasure of the,
eve. since they have perfume; ana
If the theory of complementaries
governs the assemb1age of colors, we
should not forget that there are also
complementary odors, and that odors
have value and intensity which
should be combined happily when we
desire to achieve a really artistic erect.

ITO choose flowers with skill, to
their colors and to bring out a
pleasing effect from the infinite va
riety of their shades is an affair of
art and personal taste for which it
is impossible to formulate a precise
rule or amy exact directions.
But to establish a scale of scent
that shall not contain one false note
to make the general odor of a
bouquet something fine. smooth and
delicate, is not an art, but real
science. and this is AN attempt to ex-
press its laws.
The precise osmometric measure
ments that have been made in va
rious laboratories have established
the relative intensity of perfumes,
and the experiments of specialists
have done the rest, so that it is today
we'll known in what relative pro-
portions the elementary odors must
be combined in order to obtain an
agreeable whole.
BY such knowledge the great per-
fumers prove their creative skill. and
their cleverness is often only the
application of precise and definite
data.
We may divide odors into two
great classes. the strong and the
weak; each when used by itself has
very apparent defects; the problem
for solution is to unite them in
proper proportions.
H. the first place foundation
odor msSt be selected, to- give the
general tone. This choice is free, and
there is nothing to determine it out
side of the personal preferences of
the maker of the bouquet, or, bet
ter, the one for whom it is destined.
Some prefer a violent and strong base
such as acacia, heliotrope or lilac; 9TH
ers like a weaker and less energetic
one, such as lilyof -the-valley, jasmine
or white rose: 1t is simply a ques-
tion of taste.
| The foundation odor must be placed
| in the center, and only a small num-
ber of flowers must be used for it;
then these should be surrounded
with an odor that will complete it
without effacing 1t. Around a bunch
! of acacia, for instance, may be
placed a few blossoms of honey
suckle; around heliotrope. lily-of-the-
valley; around tuberose, jacinth
around geraniun, roses. Then, the

Bacteria From Rifle.

A SINGULAR experiment with bac-
"a terra is that of a French investi-
gator. who has proved that those
microscopic enemies to human life
and health can be fired out of a gun
without suffering any apparent in
jury.
He has infected rife bullets with
bacteria and then fired the bullets
into tin boxes filled with a gelatin
preparation suitable for the nourish-
ment of the Heterogeneous. Upon
watching the ha;.- made by the bull
let's in the preparation, he found that
the precise forms of bacteria with
which the bullets had been charged
rapidly developed there, although 1t
was known that no organisms ex-
listed in the gelatin previous to the
experiment.
He has even found that bullet
will pick up bacteria from the air
during its fight, or from clothing
through which 1t passes, and deposit
them, still active and living, in
gelatin target!
