ODORS AND MOISTURE
A Scheme That Is Said to Improve th
Sense of Smell
The most striking fact connected
with my school career said fhe prep
school graduate was a peculiar abil
ity on the part of our commandant to
detect the ftfntest odor of smoke in
a room on litis daily inspection -The
school I attended was of the military
variety and smoking was a rather se
rious offense No matter how much a
room had been aired or fanned with
wet towels previous to the inspection
the offender was always caught
After I had received my finishing
touches and become a citizen I made
so bold as to inquire from what pe
culiar dispensation of providence the
ability was given to detect one mole
cule of smoke in a hundred cubic feet
of pure air The old boy smiled and
binding me to secrecy imparted the
reason of his wonderful ability Then
he took me to a boys vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with it and sniff Lo and
behold where before there seemed
no taint in the atmosphere was now
detected that smell of old tobacco
smoke Since then I have taught
school myself and have used the trick
occasionally entirely for experimental
purposes however
I have also sought the scientific ex
planation but with little success It
may however be somewhat analogous
to the process of tasting You know
it is impossible to taste anything that
is not dissolved in water or is not a
liquid itself So the moisture on the
nostrils must carry the small particles
of smoke in a more or less damp state
to the olfactory nerve ends and thus
make the smell more apparent At
least this is the only explanation I
have ever found for the phenomenon
The same tiling can also be used
for detecting other odors and I have
found it useful on a number of occa
sions for this purpose both in analyti
cal chemistry when only a small par
ticle of a certain material is available
for analysis and in detecting faint per
fume from flowers that are ordinarily
quite odorless Chicagb Record-Herald

Tho First Census W33 Taken by Mcwes
in the Wilderness
There is a record of a census in
China as far back as the year 2042
B and of one in Japan in the last
century before Christ Dnder the con
stitution of Solon the citizens of
ens were divided and registered in four
1 II -
Classes according iu im uuuuut ul
their taxable property oraineome The
Iioman census was burdened with
more statistics than any of these how
ever It had its origin under Servius
Tullius sixth king of Rome and was
an affair of much solemnity Every
citizen had to appear upon the Campus
Martius and declare upon oath his
name and dwelling and the value of
his property under the penalty of hav
ing his goods confiscated
Tbe most ancient statistical record
of a census is found in the Bible The
census was taken by Moses in the
wilderness and as shown by the first
chapter of Numbers the enumeration
must have been very simple Take
ye says this account the sum of all
the congregations of the children of
Israel after their families by the
house of their fathers with the num
ber of their names every male by
their polls from twenty years old and
upward all that are able to go forth
to war in Israel thou and Aaron shall
number them by their armies This
census was an affair that must have
been soon over lasting no longer than
one day being merely a counting of
the heads of the fighting men The
women and children and cripples and
the old men were not included nei
ther were the Levites numbered among
them Those who did stand up to
Iu numbered totaled G035o0 New

and followed the steward as he car

to say it developed a great liking for
lettuce although its natural food is
fish and another curiotis trait was that
it would never pick up food from the

ways take it ravenously from the

would make a whining sound as if
