Siamese people have so superstiticus a dislike for odd numbers that they strive always to have an even number of rooms, doors, windows, closets, etc., in their houses. Among many of the colored peopie of the south the super- stition prevails that it is “good luck” to meet a frog; they believe the one thus favored is about to receive money from some unexpected place. It was a belief among the Egyptians that the third finger of the left hand was con- nected with the heart by means of a slender nerve. From that belief came the custom of wearing the wedding ring on that finger. It is commonly believed among the peasantry in the Ural mountains that for a wolf to see a man before the man sees the wolf is an omen that he will be “struck dumb,” and so remain as long as the wolf lives. A superstition prevalent among housemaids in France is that to kill a “‘money-spinner” is unlucky; thus they studiously spare the webs whenever they can well do so. In Ty- rol the rose is believed to be a sleep producer, and rose leaves are thrown into the fire for “good luck.” In France and Italy it is believed that the maid who buries a drop of her blood under a rose bush will be re- warded with rose-tinted cheeks. The rose was an emblem of immortality among the Syrlans, and the Chinese planted it over graves. In Holland and Belgium it is believed that ill-luck is sure to follow all through life any one that, accidentally or otherwise, kills a stork. There was a superstition among the Romans that it was unfortunate for a person starting on a journey to et a frog in his road; and so strong was this belief that the traveler would return and wait until the next day to begin his journey. In many parts of Europe it is at the present day con- sidered an omen of ill-luck for a hare to cross the road in front of a traveler. Scotch and English milkmaids believe their cows will “go dry” if they forget to wash their hands when through milking. ARTIFICIAL P Tiemann’s Well-Known Paper, Aroma of the Violet.” Tiemann, the German chemist w ded the other day, published in 1 3 along with Kruger, his well-known paper, “On the Aroma of the Violet,” s Nature. It was however, the oma rather of the iris root, or orris (with which that of the violet FUMES. “On the The quantity of the odoriferous principle contained in iris root is so infinitesimal, and that of the root to be extracted consequently so large, that, as he states, the resources of a mere scientific laboratory proved unequal to the task and this prelim- inary part of the investigation had to ve carried out in the works at Holz- minden. The substance thus isolated was thoroughly investigated and its constitution established. In order to indicate its origin and at the same time its constitution, he termed it irone. His attempt to synthesize it was not, from the point of view of the pure chemist, successful, although for the manufacturing chemist it was of the utmost value. Starting with citral, obtained from oil of jemons or from lemon grass oil, he condensed this substance with acetone, converting it into a componnd which he termed pseudo-iodine; this, when treated with dilute sulphuric da, yielded ionone, not identical wita rone, but so closely resembling it in smell that very few people can detect the difference. For the purposes of the perfumer, therefore, ionone is every whit as good as irone. It is now manu- factured, and the value of the process to the patentees may be judged from the attempts that have been made to invalidate the patent—attempis that have been foiled in courts of law both in this country and in Germany. A Mammoth Tusk. A huge tusk from Alaska has just arrived at a Pearl street warehouse. It was brought from the northern por- tion of the territory by a Norwegian clergyman, who was detailed in 1896 by the government to accompany a reindeer expedition into the Yukon country. The tusk is said by scientific experts of the University of Minnesota to be from 3,000 to 5,000 years old. It was found sticking out of the bank of a river, absolutely black from age and outside decay; near it were the teeth and head of the mammoth, but no skeleton. As it lies in the warehouse it presents a circular shape, extending from base to tip ten and two-thirds feet. It is estimated that the broken tip had a projection of fifty inches, which would have brought the total length to fifteen feet. In Its presen! condition the tusk weighs 175 pounds. The hollow portion at the larger end is plainly shown. Experts have said that the circumerence of the base, now twenty-eight inches, was formerly larger by a layer of an inch and a half; but that much half-decayed matter was injudiciously scraped away, leav- ing the ivory a smooth surface, The owner does not desire to make a com- mercial disposition of the tusk, but he has communicated with the Smith- sonian Institution in regard to it. It is said by experts to be one of the largest, if not the largest, tusk in the world.—New York Evening Post. Startling Instances. Last week a delinquent subscriber said he would pay up if he lived. He died. Another said: “I will see you tomorrow.” He’s blind. Still another said, “I’ll pay you this week or go to the devil.” He’s gone. There are hundreds who ought to take warning of these\procrastinators and pay up now.—Finley (S. D.) Slope.
