DR. HOVE, the geologist, relates some interest ing facts about the remarkable purity of the air in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, showing the peculiar effect it has on the olfactory nerves if breathed for a few hours. The doctor remained in the cave the whole of one day, and upon emerging, found that his perception of smell had increased to such an extent that he could detect a distinct odour from every tree, animal, and man. This is accounted for by the absence of anything in the cave to stimulate the nerves, the nose having complete rest, and thus becoming super-sensitive to outside
influences.
THE Globe says-In connection with our re- cent remarks concerning Pearson's Fire Alarm; our attention has been drawn to the fact that so far as those connected with the company is concerned there has been no "shop" buying going on. A company or syndicate having a capital of only 10,000 has been formed for the purpose of exploiting the patent in ships, on railways in China, and Japan, the patent company not desiring to take further responsi bilities. The chai man of this syndicate is Lord Suffield, the vice chainnan Sir William Robinson, d. C. F. Hartridge are directors late of Hongkong, and Messrs.
The syndicate will purchase the apparatus from the parent concern at prices which are stated to yield a handsome profit--Iu-addition to this, subsidiary companies have been fohned for Leicester and Glasgow, and already the success of the first-named is assured. It is alleged that it is for these reasons that the upward move observable inquotations has taken place.
