Flame in Water.

SUBMERGED in water, an oil flame
invented by Belgian scientist,
Oscar Brunler, will burn for weeks
without going out, it is claimed, and
so avoid most of the heat loss of an
ordinary boiler. A device similar to a
carbureter, says Popular Science
Monthly, blows a spray of crude oil
mixed with air into the burner under
pressure. Water is kept out of the
burner until the flame is well started.
then allowed to rise around the flame
and cover 1t.
In all boilers loss of heat is avoided
by bringing the flame of the fuel into
the closest possible contact with the
water. The Belgian inventor is said
to have obtained almost perfect eff
cheney by putting the flame directly in
the water.

can tell just as the rods and cones on the
within the visible spectrum.
Sight is related in some mysterious way
to smell. Smoking is less satisfactory in
the dark and closing the eyes when tast-
ing delicious morsel tends to spoil the
sensation. While smell is very delicate,
1t sometimes fails to perceive a strong
odor. A bunch of violets will fill room
with their fragrance and yet if held to
the nose there seems to be hardly any
smell at all.
Acuteness of the smell sense usually
goes with the amount of coloring in the
skin. Dark skinned persons have better
noses than blends, negroes better than
white men and albinos frequently are
anosmlcs, word science had to coin in
order to specify one who cannot smell
There is on record the case of a negro
who, through disease gradually lost all
the coloring matter in his skin and at the
same time and rate became anosmic. In
this matter of coloring, notice should be
taken of the dog who owns about the best
nose on Earth. Whatever coloring or
absence of it there may be on the rest
of his body, Nature gets out the tar brush
for his nose, usually backing up the
whole muzzle.
Smell sometimes bring out the most
unreasonable traits in people. They will
take up work in some foul smelling occu-
patton, get used to it and finally have an
effectionate regard for the stencil and feel
hurt that others resent the smell of it in
their clothes Glue factories, stock yards,
smeters and other industries afflicted
with halitosis, are sometimes decent
enough to move out in the wilderness
where there is nobody to offend. Soon
a small settlement springs up to cater to
the industry and then others, thinking
there is money in a new and growing
town, move in. As soon as the town Da-
comes Of any size its citizens start an
agitation to have the strong smelling in
dustry expelled.

Cats and spiders are not odOriferOus to
our consciousness and yet it is be-
heved that unconsciously our nose re-
veals them and a thousand and one other
things
As we grow older our noses tend to
become tolerant of foul effluvias that
sickened US in our youth. The first time
limberger or other high smelling cheese
Is placed on a child's plate he revolts. If
you persist he will become angry and
cry. He does not care what you tell him.
The thing has a nasty, rotten-meat smell
and it is an offense and insult to put it
on his plate. II you eat some yourself,
it only goes to show that you haven't any
more sense than the dog who also likes
to eat nasty things. Only when he grows
much older will he get the dogs point
of view on such things.
OF course dogs and their masters really
don't agree on what are and are not
pleasant smells. The dog thinks the Odor
Of garbage, caTrion and other abomnable
filth is delicious. After finding some and
revolving in il, he usually rolls in it, with
the same thought in mind as his mistress
has when she perfumes herself, to carry
the delightful fragrance around on his
person. He can't understand why he is
suddenly yanked from under the dining
room table and chased out the door. later
TO suffer the misery Of bath. On the
other hand no dog would roll in his mis-
trcss' perfume. He hates the stuff but
has to make the best of it. He can't give
her bath.
Revolving smells, like vice, . horrd
to all Of Us at first, finally they become
possible to endure and at last, are per
haps looked forward to with pleasure.
Thus a dentist smells the cotton he with
draws from putrid tooth and finally
learn, to sniff it with rather anticipatory
pleasure.
To the keen sensed medical men certain
diseased conditions of the body can be
recognized by their odors. Physicians Of
the last generations used to speak of ty-
phus fever as having close, mawkish

The study of smells may give US the
key to the mystery of crowd psychology,
of those unreasoning waves of passion
that sometimes sweep through masses of
people and lead to all manner of strange
happenings, like crusades and holy wars,
WITHDRAWING lynchings, spiritualistic
manifestations and other miracles.
Taste appears to be chemical reaction
of certain nerve endings to four different
types of substance, but smell is harder to
understand. II it is chemical reaction
to gases instead Of liquids how is it that
such simple structure can give so many
different analyses that man has never at
tempted to name his smells. He has given
name to the primary colors and great
number Of shades between but when he
talks about a smell he calls it by the thing
il comes from or suggests; violet, rose,
onion, leather, saltwater.
Man understands the eye very well
because its completely reveals the me-
chanics of it. He makes a camera that in
many ways is an Improvement but the
nose he cannot initiate at all.
It may be that the free particles of
matter in gaseous form give off feeble ra-
diatiOns, each with its own special wave
length, which the nose at close quarters

tive likes and dislkes are based on smells.
This is so true that one might be almost
tempted TO point out a pun in the word
instinct.
Most industries have a characte. istic
odOr-dyers, butchers, millers, black
smiths, printers, etc, all carry character
lstic scent on their clothes and bodies
This is combined with the persons own
individual odor. As children we learn to
connect these smells with the characters
Of the persons who carry them. II our
kindly and entertaining neighbor hap
pened TO be a printer, the smell Of print
cr's ink made a favorable impression on
our childish mind, however, we did not
know that il was printers ink AMI the
impression may drop out of our con-
seriousness entirely, but, in later years, a
man with that Odor about him has a fas
clnatIon for US.
The aroma Of wOman's hair may not
interest one young man at all and yet at
tract another irresistibly because il hap
pens 70 be quite like the one his baby
nOstrlls inhaled when his mother held him
in her arms.
Mans sense Of smell is dull and bluntcd
compared with that of tie other ami ais
but there is CasOn to believe that il is
not as feeble a. il seems. He has taught
himself TO ignore his nose and for excel
lent reasons. When the Roman civliza-
ton was destroyed all idea Of cleanliness
went out with il. Until recent times there
was neither plumbing nor bathing. Every
thing was thrown out the window into
the street. Even today in some countries
children are sewed into their Winter I'M
derwear in the Fall The stenches Of the
old cities were 20 overpOwering that If "A
man paid any attention TO his nose he
wouldn't b. able TO attend to anything
else
Apparently we smell many thing sub
consciously just as we hear sounds with
out noticing them, yet they affect US. II
is thought that our intuitive knowledge Of
someone's hidden presence in room
comes from our nose. Our sense Of smell

but can be remedied often by the use of
the well-known and harmless cleansing
antiseptic which is widely advertised and
is sold in all drug stores.
A skin disease known as favus, is at
tended by a mouse-iike smell. The sweet
smelling breath caused by acetone pois-
oning, in the later stages of diabetes, is a
diagnostic sign of great importance. Ba-
con stated that the plague scented the
breath of its victims like mellow apple.
Death sometimes heralds its approach
by an odor too subtle for mans senses
and yet penetrating enough to catch the
attention of the carrion-loving house cat
and to bring ravens about the premises.
Odors of crowds are believed to have
a powerful suggestive force. 1t is well
known that emotions by changing the
chemistry of the body change the secre-
tions from the pores and therefore the
body odor. A closely packed mob being
gradually worked into rage by the oratory
Of a demagogue takes on peculiar OdOr,
the odor of rage, very definite thing,
with probably a strong effect on each
others emotions of all the members of
the mob
In the same way the "odor Of sanctty"
is real thing. To one who has trained
his nose to observe, this odor is not pres
cnt among the congregation of church
when the service first starts. Later it
slowly becomes apparent as the spell of
the service begins to have its effect on
the most devout. The smell arising from
these in turn has strong suggestive in
huence on the others and before the de-
votions are over it is so powerful that
even a non-religious person feels the pull
at his emotions. At Billy Sundays reviy-
ais this was very noticeable. Many pco-
pie came out and as soon as they got free
Of the mob wondered what had made them
"ht the sawdust trail"
Goethe, one Of the worlds keenest OBJ
servers has left memorandum of how
smell may effect the personality before it
enters the consciousness.
