JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 23.-There
is strong proba bility that the Corbett-
Mitchell fight will be prevented. Gov.
Mitchell refused charter to the Duval
club. The governor also wrote a
strong letter to j. r. Tyson, promi-

he declared he would use all lawful
means to prevent the fight and bring
to punishment every citizen of the
state who aids and abcts any such
disgraceful breach OF the law He has
issued proclamation to sheriffs, call
ing on them to use all lawful means tc
prevent the fight and promising mil
itary aid if necessary. This has created
great CONSERVATION here. The Duval

ance that there would be no interfer

gone in it so deeply they propose te
fight it out.

cuRIoslrles OF TASTE.
DistriDution on the Tongue Of the Scvtra
Gestatory Nerves,


Gcstatory Nerves.
The sense of taste in human beings
has been divided into four classes
sweet, bitter, salt and acid. These
four classes, with their combinations
produce all the delicious sensa tions
that we ascribc to taste, as we'll as all
the disagreeable imprcs ions ot that
sense.
But the tongue is not equally sensi.
tive in all parts to these sensations
Indeed 1t has been shown that differ.
ent tastes result from the same stimu-
lus when applied to different places on
the tongue. The tip of the tongue, for
instance, is most sensitive to sweet and
to acid tastes, while it is far less capa-
BILE of perceiving a bitter taste than
any other part of the organ. Some
persons are unable to peroeive any Bit
ter taste when quinine is applied only
to the tip of the tongue. At the back
of the tongue the bitterness of the
drug Is perceived at once.
An explanation of the curious select
i've powers exhibited by the tongue is
that variety of nerve fibres are pres.
ent In that organ, each kind being
sensitive only to one of the four prin-
cipal classes of taste. These nerve
fibres are distributed in varying num-
bers over different parts of the tongue.
AT the tip, for instance, the nerves
which are sensitive to sweet and acid
stimuli are most numerous, and accord
ingly in that locality those tastes arc
the ones most readily perceived. AT
the back of the tongue on the othe,
hand, the nerve fibres concerned in the
perception of bitterness prevail over
the others.
A singular proof of the fact that on
particular parts of the tongue one sort
OF nerve fbres may overpower and

nished by placing sulphate of magnesia
on the back of the tongue. At frs,
only a strong bitter taste is perceived,
but when the nerves producing the
bitter taste are paralyzed, as they may
be by the application of the drug called
gymnema, without affecting the other
nerves, then u slight acid taste becomes
evident.
Thus even our slightest sensations OF
| pleasure or pain are the result of q
| complicated system of nerve fibres and
| nerve endings, and while we can begin
| to perceive that certain nerves possess
| certain powers or are sensitive to Ger.

the cause of these differences remains

PARKER CoNFEssEs,
duplicating His Half-Brother in the NJ
dor of fla Ruona

der of the Ryans.
WINCHESTER, O., Dec. 2S. The pre-
liminary trial Of Roscoe Parker and as
sociates was held here Friday, and oc-
cupied the entire day. Parker was ar
rested on Wednesday on warrant
charging him with the murder of L. p.
Ryan and wife, and the evidence
against him proved so damaging that
he could not hold out, and Friday,
in the presence OF Prosecutor WIKI
off and others, made full con-
fession of the crime, duplicating
as his accomplice Samuel johnson, his
alf-brother. johnson was examined
by the prosecutor, but the evidence
was not sufficiently strong to hold him.
Parker's confession was kept from the
public until late hour Friday after
noon, when it finally leaked out. A
mob was organizing rapidly for the
purpose of lynching, when Parker was
secretly conveyed to West Union and
incarcerated in Jail. There is yet a
strong inclination to lynch on the part
of some influential citizens.

ElECTROlYSIS.
A New Element of Destruction Lately
Introduced.

Introduced.
Electrolysis is defined as the act or
process of chemical decomposition
caused by the action of electricity or
galvanism. The word is one of the
many that has come into common use
since electricity has played so inn
portant part in everyday affairs.
This word, or rather what it stands
for, is causing considerable trouble in
Rochester, where it is decomposing gas
and water pipes buried near the wires
of the electric railroad. Nor is that
the only city which has suffered in
this respect. The electricity manufac-
tured at the dynamo passes through
the feed wires to the trolley wires,
thence down the trolley through the
car into the machinery, and so on out
to the rails and wires fastened to them
for what is called the return current
The current from the dynamo of the
car is carefully guarded by insulation
in order that as little as possible may
be lost. Having done its work, about
all that is asked of the balance Of the
wires is to establish the complete cir
cult. The insulation of the ground
wire not being SO good, more or less Of
the current passes off into the earth,
especially when it is moist. Gas or
water pipes are attractive as conduc-
tors and if in the neighborhood are
bound to secure some share of the
subtle fluid. AS long ago as 1888 it
was discovered that the earth could be
used as part of circuit to carry cleo
trio currents, and until the introduc-
ton of electric cars the earth was al
most wholly depended upon for the
return current required by telephone
and telegraph apparatus. Now the best
telephone circuits have carefully in.
sulated wires for the return current
The interference with the telegraph is
much less than with the telephone
from this cause. When electricity
passes through moist earth it causes
the decomposition of the water and
the formation of oxygen and hydrogen
gases. The oxygen reaching metallic
pipes causes oxidation and ultimate
destruction. The time required is, OF
course, wholly dependent upon the
conditions, such as the volume of the
current, the size of the conductor and
the amount Of oxygen liberated. Thus
tho application of advanced science in
every day practice brings with it new
problems to be solved and new Difficult
ties to be obviated, just as new diseases
| demand new remedies.-Utica Press.
