SANS sMELL-sANs TASTE.
Man with His Nose Closed Cannot Tell
Tea from Coffee.

lca from NOuecs
1t would now seem from expert.
ments, which have been carried on in
the University of Iowa, that we do not
taste many of the things which we eat
at our daily meals. 1t Is asserted con-
iidently that we merely smell them. II
the nose Is tightly closed In the ordln-
airy man and he is blIndfolded, he will
not be able to distinguish coffee from
water or weak solution of qulnlne.
This has been proved by experiments
made on many persons. Common cof.
fee was said to be water 1t was also
said to be qulnine. Water was said to
be coffee. Tea was called coffee. Tur-
key was called pork. Raw apple was
called grape juice. Malt extract was
sherry wine. Lard was pronounced
butter. In short, experienced persons
were unable to distinguish many com
mon foods and drinks when sensations
OF smell were removed, and the con-
clusion was reached that a person
might even practice economy In eating
by merely blindfolding the eyes and
substituting lard, pork and beer for
butter, turkey and venlson, while II
the further precautlon was taken to
close the nose, very weak solution of
qulnlne would pass for good coffee and
vinegar for the most costly wine.
The experiments which led to these
conclusions were carried on by Prof.
g. Z. w. Patrick, of the University OF
Iowa, who has just communicated
some Of the results Of his work to the
American Psychological Society. Prof.
Patrick was enabled to attain great nc
curacy In his work by the fact that one
Of the persons he experimental upon
was an anosmic-that Is, absolutely de-
void OF the sense OF smell. He was en-
abled thus TO determine which sensa-
tions were those Of taste and which
were smell. He experimental also on
normal subjects, and some of the re-
suits were surprising.
There are only four simple taste SEN
sations, namely, sweet, bitter, sour
and salt. 1t Is said by some that there
are only two, sweet and bitter. All
other sensations which are commonly
called tastes are complex results OF
sensation Of smell, touch, temperature
and sight. The means by which we
distinguish almost all Of our common
foods and drinks is not the sense OF
taste SO much as 1t Is the sense of
smell, touch, temperature and sight.
All the fine differences by which we
distinguish the various fruits meats
and drinks depend not upon taste at
all, but upon these other senses. Pure
sensations Of taste add hardly more
than a certain emotional element to the
complex sensations.

had been placed under arrest by Col.
Frost on the way back from Manila and
is no doubt on account of what these
officers have written home t their
friends about the inability of soldiers to
get their discharges when they asked for
them. Such letters have appeared in
Watertown and other papers and no
doubt fell under Frost's eye soon after
receiving the mails at JapaL on their
way home. Congressman Gamble has
tried to effect a reconciliation but has
failed. Frost is very bitter, and the
other officers don't fear a courtmartial
and have q hearty support OF all the men
OF the regiment. Some writer's try to
maae out that there Is politics at the
bottom OF the trouble, but the fact that
populist as we'll as republican officers are
accused by Frost shows that the cause is
something else. 1t is no doubt the re-
suit OF Frost's inordinste ambition and
desire to make a record at any cost or
sacrifice OF men and suffering to
theregiment on the one hand
the humanity of the officers op.
posing this, on the other.
