The pathetic story of tho strong smell of violets—the only scent over used by her dead son—by which tho Empress Eugenic was led to the place of his death in tho Zululahcf bush, as told by Dr. Ethel Smyth •in the new number of Blackwood's Magazine, suggests that there may be in human beings relics of a sixth sense which manifests itself in conditions of extreme mental strain, says tho Mail. There were independent witnesses with the Empress or that sad occasion who vouch for the facts, so that hor experiences can scarcely bo dismissed as hallucination. This faculty, whatever it is, is not really more extraordinary than that unknown senss by which bats, flyingr in the dark, avoid contact with other" objects, or than the homing sense possessed by ninny animals and notably by carrior pigeons.
