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.

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 by another daughter, the previous children born to Lady Haig being two daughters, Lady Alexandra and Lady Victoria. Before her marriage, in 1905, Lady Haig was the Hon. Maud Vivian, Maid: of Honor to Queen Victoria and Queen u - Alexandra. The famous soldier first met his wife at Windsor Castle, where he was a guest, and fell in love with her at first sight, The attraction was mutual, and four days later they be came engaged. • A . Noted Irish Baby. What' does the future hold for the baby -son of Sir Edward Carson, "the stormy petrel of Ireland," as he has been described? Sir Edward was sixty-six years of • age when the boy was born in Febr- uary last, the mother, before she be- came Sir Edward's second wife • in 1914, being Miss Ruby Frewen, the only daughter of Colonel.
