Science Baffled by Scents
Some time ago there was held in
England a "Wonders of Science Exhi-
bition" which served to reveal many
marvels to the public unfamiliar with
the work done with the microscope,
a
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 famillar, to some extent,
with the microscope than with the
microphone. They know it is possible
to make objects entirely outside of the
range of natural human vision visible
by the use of the telescope for great
distances and by the microscope for
minute things close by; but few have
any knowledge of the device by which
it is possible to hear a fly walk or a
caterpillar crawl.
Many other `wonders of science
were shown at Surbiton, hut neither
there nor anywhere else has science
cinxanstrated its ability to help the
Sense of smell. It eau do marvels for
Sight, hearing and touch, but not tor
the humble and metal nese. In that
`field the accomplishments of science
have been nil.
Let a man stand two miles, say, to
windward of the point where 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 hi the surface of
the ground the caribou will neverthe-
less 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 identi-
fies. It cannot see with a microscope
anything in the air which came from
the man. It carnet find any such sub-
stance with a chemical test of any
kind. Instead of aiding the sense of
smell, it is entirely iacapabl,e of
matching it. Here is another realm
far science to invade and subdue but
would the conquest be alt ether de-
sirable? It is a question whether the
average man needs to smell more
things .or sense more acutely the
things he smells already. It is thought
that the gains would not offset the
losses under the prevailing conditions
of life.

There may be a. certain amount of
truth. in the old saying that clever par-
ents often have stupid children, and
vice versa. At the same time, much "is
expected of a baby with a long family
heritage of noble birth, .with parents
noted for brains, beauty, and talent,
or'pereona1 valor. •
Consider some of the most famous
babies born recently—what will they
become?
With a queen as gohzidther, and' a
host of notabilities to witness the cei•e-
mony, Alexandra Priscilla Helen 'I31-
beseo, the Infant daughter of 1'rir_,ce
and Princess Bibosco and granddaugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Asquith, was chris-
tened recently at a Greek church in
London.
The mother of the baby is Elizabeth,.
the youngest daughter of the former
Prime Minister, who became the
father-in-law of a sen .of one of the
meat ancient and noble families of
Roumania when his daughter married
Prince Bibosco in April, 1919.
With a 'statesman • as grandfather,
a brilliant social leader as grand- _
matinee, a` witty speaker, writer, dra-
matist, and actress as mother, aizd a
diplomat of Royal birth 'as father, this
baby girl in future years may despair
of living up to the reputation • of her
family, although there is no -recorded
instance of an Asquith failure,
Prince Bibesco, who, by the way,
lies also achieved success asa drama-
tist, belongs to an ex -Royal house. Its
ancestors were the rulers of the Prin-
cipality of Wallachia, which sixty
years ago became united to the prince
pality of Moldavia, the two being
named Roumania.
Lady Fatrlcia's Son.
A month before Mien rlsq ith mar-
ried Prince Bibeseo, Princes Patricia
of Connaught was led to the altar by
the kion, Alexander Ramsay. trir
She was the • first Royal woman to
marry a commoner during a very long
period, the romance beginning in 1905,
when Commander Ramsay, who as a
naval officer accomplished great
things during the war, was acting as
A,D.C. to Princess "Pat's". father inee
Canada.
The sequel to the romantic marriage
was the birth of a son on December
21st last: a boy who will be able
through bath his father's and mother's
families to trace his descent back to
Robert Bruce, the hero of Bannock-
burn.
Tn future years, should the boys fol.
low in their father's footsteps, he may
meet on the same ship the Hon.
George Patrick Rushworth Jellicoe,
-the two-year-old son of Admiral Telli-
eec. Married in 1902 to a daughter of
the late Sir. Charles Cayzer, the fam-
ous shipping magnate, Admiral Jolla
coe had four daughters presented to
him before the arrival of a sen and
heir, and it is a curious fact that' a •
few days before the birth of the Hon.
George Patrick, a son—Viscount Da-
wick—arrived in the family of Lord
Haig. He was followed a year later
