CTS who have witnessed the removal of the scent glands from penned civet cats in Abyssinia describe the atmosphere in the immediate yicin- ity as hard on occidental noses as the odor of skunk. Perfumers dis solve the natural substance of anil nal odors and dilute it hundreds of times until the scent is barely ob- servable. This diluted substance, however, works wonders with the floral scents: it not only magnifies their natural fragrance, but also serves to make more permanent per- fumes which would become weak with. age.

MUSK IS LIABLE
 ID BECOME COSTLY
Stiff Penalty for Killing Animal
 Which Furnishes Scent

Washington, D. C., Sept, 12,- Musk. the most penetrating and al
 ready one of the most costly sub
 stances used in fixing" perfumes
 may soon be dearer than rare jewels
 because the lamas of Tsarung in southeast Tibet have issued an edict that hunters caught killing musk deer will have their hands cut off and nailed on the temple doors, &C., cording to bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society The bulletin quotes Dr. Joseph Rock, explorer for the society. who recently returned from an eXpedi- tion to Chinese Tibet.
 ''The tiny musk deer, due to the perfumers' attempts to satisfy the demands of fashion. is becoming very scarce in this mountainous dis trict, which is the worlds single source of highest grade natural musk" says Dr. Rock. Growing scarcity of the deer led the lamas to restrict hunting the musk sack, which is about the size of crab apple, occurs on the belly of the species. Since there are about five females to every male, many must be caught to secure a small quantity of musk. The traps either kill or fatally maim all deer caught so that hunting reduces the number of po- tential reproducing members of the species very rapidly.
 Musk Deer Tiny Creatures
 "The musk deer are very small; approximately the size of a goat When a male is killed the sack is removed and in its natural state, is wrapped in tin foil and shipped in strong, silk-covered boxes. One representative of a French perfume concern has lived on the border of Tibet for twenty years for the sole purpose of buying musk from native hunters. Even at the source of supply in this district, musk is very costly.
 Musk Is a necessary element of | nearly all high grade perfumes" | continues the bulletin. Ordinarily | the layman cannot detect it because | 1t Is used as a base to carry the l more perishable and less penetrating floral perfumes such as rose, lilac, violet and lily of the valley. The only other source of natural musk is the Aitai mountains in mid-Asia, but the product from deer of this range is much inferior to the Trasung musk. Since this scent has long been one of the essentials of perfume and has always been costly 1t was one of the first to be manu- factured synthetically. But the manufactured grades now available do not measure up to the natural product and are only used in cheaper perfumes. Natural musk is said to be so penetrating and so capable of retaining it's strength than an infnitesmal bit will scent a large room for more than two years.
 Bootlegging in Musk
 Despite the lamas' decrease with its terrible penalty there will prob ably be some bootlegging in musk. Increasing scarcity of the musk deer and the edict are expected to

 "Innumerable flower scents are used by perfumers in their art but only four animal perfumes are rpgu- larly employed. Scarcely could more diverse creatures be conceived than the four represented on the perfumer's shelves; nor more di- verse habitatsr nor more diverse corners of the earth as sources of supply.

Of two and a half milleniums during
which the. imperial family has reigned
over Japan. To the spirits of these
departed. Hirohito, who some day will
be the 123rd emperor, has reported
that he, latest of this long descent, has
taken a consort to perpetuate the
line.
Visit Ancient Shripes.
The prince and princess left Toxic,
February %, visiting first the en-
peror and empress at the imperial
palace at Numazu. Next day they
went by rail to Yamada. in the ancient
province of Ise, dedicated TO the
august ancestress of the imperial
house of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu-
O-Ni-Kami, the most worshipped god
dess in the Shinto Pantheon. and the
Earth Goddess Togo Uki-Bime-Kam
The Japanese believe the inner shrine,
dedicated TO the sun goddess, dates
back to 4 b. c.
The architecture of the shrines is
the purcst archaic japanese. An an
cient rule prescribes that they shall be
demolished every twenty years and re-
placed in every detail by structures
which follow the plans of the ancient
structures built centuries ago.
The cmperors of Japan trace their
lineage back to the sun goddess and
therefore it was to her first that the
prince reported his marriage.
From Yamada the strange honey
moon trail led TO Kyoto. where on
February 26. the marriage was re-
ported 10 the spirit of Jimmu Tenno,
the first of Japan's emporers. Thence
the couple went to Kashiwabara.

that given Amaterasu and Jimmu. He
is buried at Momoyama in the heart

imposing spectacle of its kind in
modern times.
The next day they spent in Kyoto.

last day of the tour was spent at
