PERFUME SCENTS
FOUND IN ANIMALS
Musk Is the Essential Ingre-
dent of Most doors.

Although perfume and flowers al
ways are associated, 1t is not to the
flower garden, but to the animal king
dom that perfume makers go for
scents. III is said that In al the flower
kingdom there are only six flowers
that chemists can call on to help
make perfume; these are the rose,
tuberose, jasmine, jonqull, violet and
orange blossoms. Tie rest only fur
nish odors that can be initiated In
perfumery laboratories. Nothing In
lilac perfume, for instance, from
liiacs.
The m~uch-maligned musk" Is an es-
sential ingredient of almost all per-
fumes. Without musk there would be
no perfume, for Ii is the substance
that holds all the others together, and
imparts p~ermanence to the more tickle
vegetable odors. The odor OF musk is
the most enduring in the world. Musk
is derived from the musk deer, a little
animal about twenty-five inches high
and three feet long, that inhabits CEN
trail Asia. Three thousand pounds Of
musk are sold annually, and every
n is worth Its weight I'm gold.
"Civet" Is another animal perfume
obtained from the glands of the civet
cat, a native of Asia and Africa. This
Is n of the most valuable ingredients
for the making of perfumes. Recently
$4,000 worth of this article reached
this country, packed in followed bull
lock horns, the method of transporta-
ton In use since the days of Solomon.
Castor is obtained from the beaver.
The other principal animal product
used in perfume is 'ambergris.' This
is the cast-off secretion of the sperm
whale, and, like musk, has a very dis
agreeable odor in its undiluted
strength, but 1t is perhaps the most
Indispensable raw material used by
high-grade perfume manufacturers. II
Is found floating on the surface of the
sea in warm climates. The pieces
floating in the ocean sometimes weigh
from GO to 225 pounds, and we occa.
sionally read in the paper of some
skipper making his fortune by picking
up a mysterious gray mass that turns
out to be ambergris.
