The opening statement was made by ; Mr. Allisou, of Iowa, the ranking member in the absence of Mr. Morril, ( of Vermont. It was estimated that the bill, as it came from the House of Rep- | reseutatives. would raise about $100.- , 000,000 a year.

A bill was . passed providing that the pay and allowance of the volunteers enlisted in the I'rited States arinv shall begin on the day of their enrollment at the State camps, with a proviso that volunteer i troops sent to the Philippine islands ! may draw one month's pay in advance.

The feature of to-day's session of the Senate was the speech of Mr. Turpio (Dem.). of Indiana, upon the war revenue measure. He strongly 1 contended that a bond issue was unnecessary; that all tho funds required for the prosecution of flie war could be raised through the proposed inheritance j tax, by the tax on corporations, by the ! coinage of the silver peiguiorage and by the issue of legal tender notes. These four means of obtaining money would yield to the government during the next year, he maintained, fully ?300,000,000 in oxcess of tho estimated sum necessary for the conduct of the war. After an extended debate, part of whicli?ccurr$d in secret legislative session, the conference report on the bill suspending certain parts of the existing law relating to the purchase of supplies by the War Derarment was adopted. The bill per mitting officers of the regular army to accept staff aprointments in the volunteer army without losing their rank or place in the regular service was passed. May 155th. The Senate made considerable progress with the war revenue measure today, two-thirds of the measure having tyeou r^nd. The ^prarnittee Amendments Lave generally been agreed to.

Those remaining arc the most important, being the issue of bauds and certificates, the tobacco tax, the tax on proprietary articles, the issue of greenbacks, tho j coinage of the silver seignorage, the issue of silver certificates, the inheritance tax and the tax on corporations. Mr. Halo, of Maine, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, favorably reported from the committee the House joint resolution for the enrollment of an auxiliary naval force.

The Scn9f? or Smell. The sense of siuell Is apparently universal, hut stronger in animals than in man. The lowest orders smell with their mouths, insects smell by their hairs, lishes smell in water, and the aeuteness of the power of smell in dogs and in savages is well known. Humboldt says that the Peruvian Indians could tell in the darkest night whether a person approaching was a European, a negro or an American Indian. In those who are deprived of the other senses, the power of analyzing odors is sometimes abnormally developed. The Scotch hoy, James Mitchell, a blind deaf-mute, could distinguish the individuals in a room into which he was led John Mossman, a deaf-mute of Parkersburg. XV.

It is probable that everything gives off a characteristic etlluviuiu. though our sense is not delicate enough to detect the most subtle ones. Some gases, like hydrogen, have 110 odor, others like chlorine, a very perceptible one. There is a general idea that a body must possess a molecular weight tiftecn times as great as that of hydrogen before it can affect the olfactory nerves of human beings, but even that needs confirmation.
