The Sense of Taste.

chat the intensity of one sense is
increased by the action of other senses
is a fact which is well illustrated by
the sense of taste. A cold coin feels
heavier than one that has been slight
ly warmed by being carried in the
pocket, and what Is true here of touch
is Just as true of taste. Warm vinegar,
warm sugar, warm solutions Of salt
taste less sour, sweet or salty than
when cold. If you put slight solution
of salt or quinine into a sugar solution
of a certain sweetness, the sweetness
will seem much greater. Cooks ana
confectioners are well aware Of this
fact, for they always add to sweet con-
fections some bitter substance, just as
the perfumers put into perfumes OF
all kinds ut least a little musk.
The cook tries to lift" or "till' the
taste, as they say, just as the perfumer
tries to do with the sense of smell,
and as in acoustics the bass drum or
bass viol forms kind Of background
for the tone of cOloring. On the other
hand, If a mixture is made too sweet,
without any contrasting elements, the
quality of sweetness is lost. some
thing like Millions darkness from eX-
cess Of light" The effect Of cold in
reducing the intensity of sweetness Is
well known to any one who has manu-
featured ice cream at home. If you

NAMES FOR THE
NEW WARSH|PS
Selections Made by the
President.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, April THE Presi-
dent day named the twelve new war
ships recently provided by Congress as
follows:
ps-Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey and Georgia.
Armored cruisers-West Virginia,
Nebraska, California.
Cruisers-Denver, Des Moines, Chat
tanooga, Galveston, Tacoma, Cleveland.
Petitions by the hundreds have been
flowing into the White House and Navy
Department ever since the new ships
were provided for, urging the merits of
various names. The President and Sec
retary Long enjoyed the good-natured
rivalry, and in making the final deter
mination consideration was given not
only to the urgency of the influence
brought to bear, but also to the several
sections of the country. Pennsylvania
petitioned through Governor Stone,
Senators Quay and Penrose and the en-
tire delegation in the House Of Repre-
sentatives.
Georgia did not petition the Navy De-
partment and it is believed that the
choice of a Southern State was due to
a desire of the President to compliment
those with whom he visited on his re-
cent Southern trip.
Senator Elkins and the entire Con-
gressional delegation were most active
for West Virginia; Representative Mer-
Ger also made it his business to besiege
the Navy Department with petitions
for Nebraska.
The choice Of California also seems
to be a personal compliment without
the same effort shown in other States.
The same rivalry was shown among the
cities, Mayors, City Councils, Chambers
of Commerce, etc, joining in the pleas.
The battleships Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Georgia are described in the
act authorizing them as follows:
Three seagoing, coastline battle
ships, carrying the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordnance for vessels of
their class upon a trial displacement of
about 1880 tons, to be sheathed and
coppered and to have the highest prac-
ticable speed and great radius of ac-
ton, and to cost, exclusive of armor
and armament, not exceeding $500, 900
each"
described, except that they are to cost
81, ,000, 900 each and are to have a dis
placement of 10000 tons.
The cruisers Denver, Cleveland and
others are described as protected
cruisers" of about $500 tons displace-
ment, to be sheathed and coppered and
to have the highest speed compatible
with good cruising qualities, great
radius of action and to carry the most
powerful ordnance suited to vessels of
their class and to cost, exclusive of
armament. not exceeding 81, 141, 800 each.

PLAN TO PREVENT THE
DETERMINATION OF GAME

SAN RAFAEL, April 7.-If the Board Of
Supervisors should see fit to adopt an
ordinance presented for their approval to-
day by Attorney Thomas P. Boyd, and it
is ten to one the board will do that very
thing, one of the merriest rackets kicked
up in rod and gun circles in many moons
will result. In order to prevent the ex-
termination of game in Marin County the
Supervisors, acting in accordance with
the petition of local gun clubs and a large
number of prominent citizens of the
county, intend to adopt an ordinance
making 1t miSdemeanOr to kill game and
carry it outside the confines of the county.
Marin County is the paradise OF n1n-
rods and huntsmen and fishermen in San
Francisco and Alameda County. For this
reason the county is oVerrun on sundays
and holidays with SportSmen, who play
sad havoc with the game. The ranchers
Club, the Novato Gun Club, the Tamal-
pals Club and other organizations in a
petition to the Supervisors to adopt an
ordinance giving them relief. Attorney
Boyd was retained to formulate an or
dinance and to-day showed piece OF his
handiwork for the inspection of the board
that drew forth unbounded admiration.
BY the terms of the proposed ordinance
it is made a miSdemeanor to Kill deer,
quail ducks, doves or other game, or
side the county. Any railway or express
company transporting game or nsh from
the county is made guilty OF m1sde-
rneanor. Deputies are to be proVlded 10

PLAN
TO LYNCH MOORE

Mt EvADA CITY, April 7.-Excite-
IN ment ran high here this morning
Nj when a report reached Sheriff
Getcheu from Chief of Police
Gall of Stockton that man an
swering Outlaw Moore's description
was under surveillance there. The
fact that Farmer Nettleship and others
in the vicinity of Auburn had repeated
lv and persistently said they had seen
a man answering the fugitive's descrip-
ton journeying southward on Tuesday
morning lent color to the suspicious of
Chief of Police Gall, and Sheriff Get
chel left on the noon train for the mill
city. Before Getchen had crossed the
boundary of the county a dispatch
flashed across the wire from Stockton
which exploded the story and soon the
excitement subsided.
The report of the arrest OF the sus-
meet in Stockton quickly spread about
town and before noon groups of men
had gathered on the street corners and
seriously discussed plans to lynch the
murderer in the event of his being
brought to town.
Despite the fact that there is a grow
ing belief that Moore has succeeded in
getting we'll out of the county, Joe Kill
roy still holds to the theory that his
brothers slayer is secreted In the
mountains close to Nevada City. In
support of his belief Kilroy gives many
plausible theories.
Moore is a natural woodsman and
he will stay in the woods as long as
possible. Once he leaves the noun
tains and strikes into the lower coun-
try the fugitive will be compelled to
ask for food at tavern or farm house
He is very deaf and will have to use
his ear trumpet to hear anybody who
speaks to him. His deafness alone
would betray him. Moore is a shrewd
cunning fellow, and he is well aware
that he has not got the chance of an
ordinary person once away from the
mountains. He knows the country up

an explosion and saw the glare of flames
in SiXty-seventh street. He ran with all
haste to the spot and found tongues of
flames leaping from, the upper windows
of the Andrews house and halfway
across the street. He tried to break in
the door and arouse the tenants, but was
driven back by the flames Not waiting
any longer than to arouse the family of
the Rothschilds in the adjoining house,

WAVE-WASHED ON
A CAPS|zED BOAT
Twenty Hours Struggle
for Life.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. April T.
Charles Weber, a German, of Nanai-
mo, B. c., arrived here this morning
after having passed through an expert
ence such as falls to the lot of few men
For twenty hours he was washed by
waves of the gulf while clinging for
life on top of his capsized craft, and he
saw his young companion drown before
his eyes.
Webber started from Nanaimo last
Monday in a small yacht with William
Reid. At 6 o'clock in the evening Reid,
who was at the helm, ran the craft
upon reef at Yellow Point, Vancouver
Island, far from a human habitation
The bottom Of the yacht heaved up and
soon the two men were up to their arm
pits in water. The vessel commenced
pounding and Reid, against the advice
Of Weber, lashed himself to the mast
For six hours the men were washed
by the waves, the boat keeping an up
right position. Then the little vessel
turned keel uppermoSt, and while Web
Der was thrown to one side his mate
plunged into the sea on the other
When Webber got a position on the
bottom of his craft he saw Reid strug-
Cling in the water two arms-lengths
away. He could not reach him and he
saw the lad sink before his eyes, crying
out farewell to his mother in Eng
land.
A terrible experience followed for
Webber. 1t was midnight when he saw
poor Reid drown, and shortly after
ward he saw steamers lights some
distance away. He yelled himself
hoarse, but got no reply. The breakers
then rolled over his craft and twice he
was washed from his position. He
fought desperately for life, and all
though half dead from cold and ex-
haustion, held on to the boat.
AT o'clock Tuesday morning he saw
another steamer pass and frantically
signaled her, only to be again disap-
pointed. 1t was noon on Tuesday when
he saw the first human being He had
given up all hope, and, he says, was
about to let himself drop into the sea,
when boat full of Japanese hove in
sight Ten minutes elapsed before they
saw his signals. Just as they reached
him he lost strength and fell into the
sea. He was rescued with difficulty
and was taken to Nanaimo, from which
city he came to this port to-day.
Reid was only II years old and was
a sailor on a deep sea vessel. His body
has not been recovered
Webber is a man of powerful phy-
sique and owes his miraculous escape
to his wonderful vitality He saws he
feels ten years older after his terrible
experience. He was for nearly thirty
hours without food and for twenty
hours was washed by an angry sea.
