TASTE in ANIMALS.
Some Insects and Reptiles In Which the
Organ - Lacking.

Organ - Lacking.
Many experiments have been made
in order to find out what and where
the organ of taste is in the lower
creation, but it. is easier to say where it
is not, says writer in Golden Days.
Crawfish and worms seem to have very
decided preferences in the matter of
food, though no special taste organ has
yet been found. Lobsters like decay
Z ing food. The crab is more dainty in
its diet. Snails and slugs show de-
cided preference for certain kinds of
food, as garden lovers know to their
cost. Peas and cabbages, dahlias and
sunhowers are great favorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard.
Some prefer animal food, especially if
rather high. Spiders have only slight
sense of taste; flies soaked in paraffine
seem quite palatable to them, though
one species, the diadema, is somewhat
more particular, and refuses to touch
alcoholrin any form whatever.
/ The antenns of INSECTS do not appear

wasps and ants quite readily took into
heir mouths poisonous and unpleasant
food, even swallowing enough. to make
themselves i'll, while some bees aud
:oaches fell a prey to the temptation of
-.lum, EPSON salts and other nauseous
foods placed in their way. These SUBJ
itances were not, however, swallowed,
but were soon spat out, the creatures

he taste.

ic exact locality of this sense in in

DEMOCRACY AND WATER.

There are Just two things to be said about this
great water platform Of the New,Jersey Democ-
racy. One Is that It's statement OF the need OF
action for conserving the States potable sup
nly Is not exaggerated 1t could not well be.
or else the Democratic convention would have
done So New.Jcrsey has in its northern regions
one Of the purest and most abundant supplies
of water 10 be found nywherc in so immediate
proximity TO great cities which need 4. Much
Of II Is being shamcfuS polluted, ahd much
more of 1t is being either strangely neglected or
else absorbed by private ownership. In the
mean time. the communities which should have
the benefit Of it are scanty supplied with an
inferior article at an eyorbiant expense. All
that IS quite true and not at all new. Every
body who has taken pains to look into The mat
ter has known it for years. 1t was surely not
worth the while Of even a Democratic conven-
ton TO go to such pains TO remind the public Of it,
The other thing, which is equally pertinent. is
this. that IT is piece of mpudent mendacity
for the Democrats to insnuate that the Repub
leans are responsible for such state Of affairs
The fact Is the blame rests upon the Democrats
themselves, and upon them alone That is true
both generally and locally. The State has been
under Democratic control for twenty-five years
il is during llldt ptllOu cNiS
Of have arisen. The Democrats, who have been
running the State according to their own sweet
will, are responsible for them. Jersey City, which
: Is in an almost desperate plight, was for years
under the absolute dcspotism Of a Democratic
ring which neglected public needs and devoted
itself chiefly to private plumber, until-as the
Democratic platform says-it is In danger Of
bankruptcy or depopuaton. For that also the
Democratic party is directly responsible. THE
recent attempt OF Jersey City TO secure a sup
ply Of wholesome water" says the platform,
''has disclosed the dangers that threaten the
people of The State" Who was II but the Re
publican MayOr-the first that city has had in
many years-who made that attempt? Who was
il but his Democratic predecessors who neglected
the needs Of the city until the actual danger line
was reached:

more eagerly demanded than the score of the
closing games
What contrast TO that halcyon time Is now
presented This years baseball season closes in
New-York to-day. Who cares row of pins
about It? How many persons have been aware
that the gamc-or something called by It's name
was being played in this city this year? There
Is some enthusiasm over the spirited contests or
the City Hall Craps Association. and the out
come of the Intergang Mumbletypeg Tourna-
mcnt is awaited with keen interest. But base
ball--the very mention of it is like 'thc odor
that steals from the winding-s sheet when
mummy is half unrollcd" If any one thinks
Of IL ut all, ii must be with curious mixture
of surprise, incrcdulity and disgust.
Yet this city is die greatest centre Of manly
sports on the American Continent Nowhere do
all classes Of the people take more interest IN
such things. Nowhere Is a more generous sup
port given to all sports that are worth the name.
Had baseball been played this year as 1t was
of old the same old interest would have been
felt and shown. The trouble Is not that the So
called New-Yorlx club has been badly beaten.

in hauling freight by electricity. with a success
at once surprising and gratifying. Still more
astonishing is the result Of tests OF electric loco
motives made in the railroad tunnels at Balti-

was attained As the grade was heavy, this Is
considered equivalent TO scventy-fve miles an
hour on 4 level track. These experiments are
of special interest to NEWCOMERS, since cleo
triclty is TO be the motive power in our under

forty miles an hour Is to be maintained. APP
