At first thought it might seem an impossible ieat to collect the perfume of ilowers after it has escaped into the air, yet it seems simple enough by this method, the "New \ork out. Fresh, high-scented blossoms are placed in an uncovered bowl, filled witn water and set near the "collector," which consists of a common glass funnel with the small end closed. The funnel is filled with a mixture of crushed ice and salt, and suspended in an upright position. Moisture from the air of the room forms on it, and unites with the emanations from the flowers. As the moisture collects it runs off the tip of the funnel into a receptacle. If this liquid is mixed with an equal amount of nure alcohol the perfume of the flowers is flresenved indefinite!*.
