Book excerpt: Excerpt from Percolator Papers The theory of smell as given is very vague; there is a presumable impact of particles upon the sensitive regions of the nose which, in some way, is supposed to stimulate nerve reaction. Good work has been done, but not enough; and enough will not be done until there obtains a lively and wholesome curiosity about it. On the other hand, consider what illuminat ing researches are available in regard to sound and light! AS an instance of the comparative attention devoted to these subjects, one has but to open a book of reference such as, for instance, the Encyclopedia Britannica. In the last edition of this work over twenty-two pages are devoted to sound, sixteen to light, and but a page and a half to smell. Just think what we owe to our eyes and ears! Through them we gain nearly all of our knowl edge. They are trained so that by them we read books and hear speeches; we note anger.
