BIG BLAZE IN THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD.
The big machine shop in the navy
yard in Brooklyn, occupied by the steam
engineering department, was burned
down last week Wednesday night, and
all the valuable machinery, and most of
the models, patterns and records of the
department were destroyed. The loss
at the yard was estimated at over a mil
lion of dollars. 1t was four-story brick
and stone structure and covered plot
about rs feet wide and 1875 feet deep.
The flames were fed by the oils stored iu
the building, and shot up into the sky to
great height and could be seen for
miles around. 1t was one of the most
destructive blazes that have ever occur

Taste and Sight.

In the recognition of foods and drinks,
as well as in their enjoyment, the sense
of sight plays a much more prominent part
than is usually supposed. With normal
subjects blindfolded it was found impos-
sible to distinguish many of our common
foods and drinks. Different kinds Of meat
and meat broths as well as the different
kinds Of bread, Were often confused. One
subject, woman noted for her skill in
cooking, made the following Judgments:
boiled pumpkin she said was something
sweet and fat; fresh pear she called sweet
berry slightly fermented: roast pork she
called boiled beef: raw turnip chopped she
called cabbage sweetened; raw apple was
grape juice; roast turkey was called beef:
and horseradish she said was something
she had never tasted.
