NO AIDJOR NOSE
Science Unable to Improve Hu¬
man Sense of Smell.
Really, In That Field, the Leading
Thinkers cf the World Are Com¬
pletely Baffled—Anyway, Would
Knowledge Be. Desirable?
Some time ago there was held in
England a “Wonders of Science Ex¬
hibition” which served to reveal many
marvels to the public unfamiliar with
the work done with the microscope,
the microphone and the micrograph.
The microphone magnifies sound as
the microscope does things seen. The
micrograph is the instrument used by
the scientist In taking pictures of
things shown by the microscope. More
people are familiar, to some extent,
with the microscope than with the
microphone. They know it is possi¬
ble to hear a fly walk or a cater¬
pillar crawl.
Many other wonders of science were
shown at Surbiton, but neither there
aor anywhere else has science demon¬
strated its ability to help the sense
of smell. It can do marvels for sight,
hearing and touch, but not for the
humble and useful nose. In that field
the accomplishments of science have
been nil.
Let a man stand two miles, say, to
windward of the point w r here a herd
of caribou will cross an open plain
over which a fresh breeze Is sweeping
and it must be apparent that only an
infinitely minute particle of whatever
matter may be given off from his body
or clothing can possibly reach the nos¬
trils of any one deer in the herd. Yet,
If the man is completely screened from
sight by a rise in the surface of the
ground the caribou will nevertheless
catch the taint In the air. They would
be warned of the presence of a wolf in
the same way.
Yet science is utterly unable to de¬
tect anything which the olfactory
nerve of the deer senses and Identifies.
It cannot see with a microscope any¬
thing in the air which came from the
man, It cannot find any such sub¬
stance with a chemical test of any
kind. Instead of aiding the sense of
smell, it is entirely incapable of match¬
ing It. Here is another realm for
science to invade and subdue; but
would the conquest be altogether de¬
sirable? It is a question whether the
average man needs to smell more
things or sense more acutely the
tilings he smells already. It Is thought
that the gains would not offset the
losses under the prevailing conditions
of life.
Coins Memorialize Pilgrims.
Models for the Pilgrim half dollars
to be Issued by the treasury depart¬
ment In commemoration of the ter¬
centenary anniversary «>f the landing
of the Pilgrims were brought to
Washington the other day by William
Carroll Hill of Boston, secretary of
the Pilgrim Tercentenary commission
of Massachusetts, and deposited with
Ray Baker, director of the mint.
The models are the work of Cyrus
E. Dallin, the sculptor, and the de¬
signs have been approved by the com¬
mission.
The coin will bear on one side the
head and shoulders of a typical Pil¬
grim intended to represent Governor
Bradford, with his history of Ply¬
mouth colony under his arm, and on
the reverse side a representation of
the Mayflower. The entire Issue of j
300,000 coins has been assigned to the
commission, which will distribute
them through the National Shawmut
bank of Boston. National banks in
the principal cities of the country will
have an opportunity, through the
Shawmut, to obtain an allotment of
the coins for their respective districts.
The Experiment.
There is a story told concerning a
careful mother whose three children
horrified her one day by producing for
her Inspection three exceedingly bil¬
ious-looking toffee apples.
“They’re very pretty, my dears,” she
lied bravely. “But really you mustn’t
eat them. I’ve heard of little children
dying through eating colored toffee ap¬
ples.”
Then she took the sweetmeats away
and put them out of reach—as she
thought—on a shelf in her dressing
room.
‘ifte imagined that would do the
trick; bnt early next morning she
heard a sound out on the landing, and.
going to see who was astir so early,
found Elsie trotting along the passage.
“What are you doing, dear?” she
asked. "It’s not six o’clock yet.”
“Going to see if Lick and Arthur are
dead yet.” replied the eight-year-old
miss. “I’m not”
Made to Suit.
Finley P. Dunne—“Mr. Dooley"—
laid down his gorgeous Sunday maga¬
zine section.
“It says here,” he •observed, “that
a western scientist is at work trying
to transform a black man into a white
man, and it says, by Jingo, that the
experiment is going to be a complete
success.”
Mr. Dunne nodded thoughtfully.
“Wonderful.” he said. “Wonderful!
And, yet, come to think about it,
they’ve been doing the same thing for
a great many years by means of white¬
wash.”
Silent Embarrassment.
“Nobody talks about the bathers’
costumes any more."
“No,” replied the beach constable.
“They’ve got to be so Improper you
dasn’t let on you noticed ’em.”

| Rheumatism Comes
| From Tiny Pain Germs
First of all, get it fiAily fixed in
your mind that all the liniments
in the world have no effect what¬
ever on Rheumatism.
A very common form of Rheu¬
matism is caused by millions of
tiny disease germs which infest the
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment, therefore, is one which
cleanses the blood of these germs,
and routs them entirely out of the
circulation.
i
This is why S.S.S., the greatest
known blood purifier is so success¬
ful in the treatment of Rheuma¬
tism. It is a powerful cleanser of
the blood, and will remove the dis¬
ease germs that cause your Rheu¬
matism, affording relief that Is
genuine.
S.S.S. is sold by all druggists.
