A NATTER or TASTE.

The University of Iowa has been maxi
ing scientific investigation of the sense
of taste, and the result is interesting.
The conclusion is that human being
eaten, but rather that they are smelled
instead. 1t was established that if the
nose is completely closed and the eyes
securely blindfolded the average man
cannot distinguish coffee from either
water or a mild solution of quinine
when put into his mouth. This was
proved by experiments made with many
different persons Coffee was declared
to be water and vice versa quinine So
luton was mistaken for tea, turkey ap-
peared to be pork, apples tasted like
grapes and malt extract was pronounce
ed to be the best sherry wine. Very few
could detect any difference between but
ter and lard. In fact, only small
number of inexperienced persons, de-
prived Of the use of their eyes and nose,
were able to distinguish many of the
most common foods and drinks from
those who are rare and which, under
ordinary circumstances have marked
peculiarities. The experiments tried
seem to warrant the belief that there
are at most only four simple taste SEN
sations, namely, sweet, bitter, sour and
salt Possibly these might be narrowed
down to two, sweet and bitter. All the
other sensations which are credited to
taste are the complex results, or effects,
of SMELL touch, temperature and vision.
1t Is held that "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"
1t is well enough to know these things |
but as long as things continue to taste"
good it doesn't make much difference
how they do it.

reject everything that did not meet the
exact requirements, have been compel-
ed to waive some of the specifications,
or else fail to secure the full quota Of
animals needed. The principal reason
for the advance in prices is that many
breeders abandoned the business when
there was so little profit in it, The
work life Of horses is short, and the de-
mand has now overtaken the supply.
A minor factor is the increased govern
ment demand.

A FiTLTR II.

Mr.. Mason, our consul general at Ber-
lin, reports that the movement in Ger
many to restrict TIE growth of depart
ment stores by special legislation has
proved failure. The favorite plan,
like that in many Of the western States,
was that of progressive tax, which
law of the empire. The discussion of the
matter has brought out some interesting
facts. 1t apears that legislation against
department stores bsgan In Paris as
long ago as 1843, but so far it has been
without success. The Bon Marche, ac-
cording to the statement of its founder,
extinguished 900 retail shops and at
present does an annual business of $780,
$50, o07enough to maintain 1000 retail
stores. In 1880 tax Of $4.S3 was placed
on every employee in department stores,
and besides this tax to the amount of
one-tenth Of the rentable value of the
premises. Later these taxes We're dou-
bled for stores having 200 employees and
trebled for those having 1000 employees.
Under the amended law the Bon Marche
pays $S1, 1892 and the Magasins du Louvre
$83, $50. The revenue thus derived was
so welcome to the city that the tax was
broadened in 1889 and made heavier
than it had been on the smaller stores.
But while successful as revenue-pro-
Queer, the tax has wholly failed to ex-
tinguish or even repress the growth Of
department stores in Paris. Taxes add
to the expenses of conducting business,
but the economies effected in bringing
many lines of business under one roof
and one management are so great as to
enable department stores to prosper
The tax being regarded as
unjust, it is doubtless largely evaded.

TUNNEL Talk.

1t appears that the project for tun-
mel between England and Ireland is in
hopeful state. At great meeting in
the house Of commons last evening it
was favored by great men, and favored
on the ground that it would not only
unite England and Ireland more closely,
but tend to bring the United States and
the United Kingdom into more intimate
accord.
We don't quite see how a tunnel be-
tween England and Ireland would add
to the cordial intent between this coun-
try and England, but perhaps it would.
A tunnel between this country and Ire
land would be convenient.

ENCOUR4GING.

Mrs. Margaret Munger Of Oshkosh
has been the means of getting an inter-
esting theory started. She put $4,000
in a bank which Frank IIeilig, it's tell
err, said to have been designated as her
agent, drew out without authority,
practically an act of dishonesty on his
part, The court holds the bank officers
as guilty of negligence and as liable
for the amount. Judge Jenkins in de-
livering the opinion, said: "The cashier
and president of bank may not ehut
their eyes to what is going on around
them. They are placed in control and
supervision of those under them, and
that supervision should be vigilant"
This theory fits we'll with the theory
that bank directors should direct, and
it is quite encouraging to have such
theories floating around.

Samples of cement used In the antique
water conduits about Ephesus and

chemical analysis, and the results have
proved interesting. While the different
samples were from water-works that
dated from several centuries before
Christ to three hundred years after, yet
1t was found that the general compost
ton of all was quite similar. The chief
constituent was carbonate of lime, but
mixed with it was from to per cent.
of organic material. This was ascer-
tanned to consist of a mixture of fatty
acids. and it is believed that the cement

The London Mail, which has been

maritime development, says that Of
steamships launched from 1892 to 1896
Of over ten thousand tons displacement
and Of ships of over twelve thousand
tons launched from 1896 to 1898 Germa-
ny built ten and the United Kingdom
five. The fastest liner in the world is a
German craft and the Germans are soon
to launch larger and faster one. Only
one ship is now under construction in
British yards that compares with these
vessels. These facts indicate the turn
which shipbuilding and maritime trade
have been taking during the last seven
or eight years They show that the
United Kingdom, while still producing
the greatest amount of annual tonnage
by far. is doing less with great steam
ships, both in its yards and on the sea,
than Germany.

made the prediction that the demands of
the world would require $4,000, 900 tons of
pig-iron by January /, 1900, and in a
communication to the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record he now calls attention
to the fact that this amount of iron ore
was produced and consumed in the year
1S98-the exact limit having been reach
ed one year ahead of the predicted time.
Mr.. Hewitt says that while we may ex-
pect the present great activity in iron
production to continue for the next two
or three years, there must then come ex-
cess of production and comparative
stagnancy; but in any event the United
States is in position, from possession
of the cheapest fuel in the world to I'M
