Thereis ono odorous essence in^Tery common use,'' said Dr. F. G.^Coalter of Indianapolis, ^of which^the majority of people know nothing^whatever. This is potato ether, dis^^tilled from potato spirit. No one^would suppose that humble vege^^table capable of yielding a perfume.^Yet it does yield three, and very^good ones they are. They go by the^names of pear, apple and grape oil,^from a resemblance between their^odors and these fruits. Confection^^ers use them largely to perfume^their finest candies. Chemistry tolls^some queer stories about perfumes.^It is found that the sole constituents^of juniper oil, attar of rosemary and^that of lemons and turpentine are^really the same, seven parts carbon,^with one of hydrogen. We cannot^combine these substances so as to^form any one of the perfumes men^^tioned, nor explain why, with the^same constituent parts, they exhale^odors so different. Eau de cologne,^which won fame and wealth for not^only a family, but a city, is really^indebted to the orange for mosc of^its charm, there being four different^perfumes distilled from it which aro^used as ingredients in eau de co^^logne.^^St. Louis Globe-Democrat
