Intensity of the Sense of Taste.

That the intensity Of one sense is in

senses Is fact which is well illustrat-
ed by the sense OF taste. \ cold coin

slightly warmed hy 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 a slight
solution of salt or quinine into sugar
solution of certain sweetness. the
sweetness will seem much greater.
Cooks and confectioners are we'll
aware of this fact, for they always add
to sweet confcctions some bitter sub
stance, Just as the perfumer puts into
perfumes Of all kinds at least little
musk.
The cook tries to Gift" or "till" the
taste, as they say, just as the perfumer
tries to do with the sense of smell, and
as In acoustics the base drum or bass

a mixture Is made too sweet, without
any contrasting elements the quality

More than one man has been struck
blind by flash of lightning, and in the
same way the sense of taste may be
obscured by excess of sweetness. The
effect of cold in reducing the intensity

who has manufactured ice-cream at

s.The Percentage of Capital"

I'm all gambling games" said an old
time sport, there Is percentage in
favor of the house Anybody, except
q born fool, knows that man couldn't
afford to, equip an establishment, hire
help, pay rent and defray all the hun
dred and one incidental expenses un-
less he derived profit that was based
on some fixed principle and not de-
pendent on mere luck or chance. Just
where the profit comes in, however, is
something that very few people under
stand. Most Of them imagine it Is de-
rived from some slight advantage in
the arrangement of the game, such as
the zero numbers in roulette or the
splits in faro, but they are very much
mistaken. 1t really depends on prin-
ciple that applies to all games alike,
and might be termed the percentage
of sapitsl.'
Strange as it may seem, could take
4 capital OF $1,000 and begin pitching
nickels, In which the chances are per
fectly even, letting the players guess
either way they wanted to and would
make a steady profit, day in and day
out. The secret Is this: The average
player has only limited amount Of
money, and slight run of bad luck
wipes him out. He is obliged to quit,
and somebody else takes his place,
while the house keeps right on through
good and bad, continually swelling its
reserve with the cash Of the broken
players. To simplify the matter, sup
pose have 100 pennies and you have
one and we begin matching. One loss
breaks you, but can stand 100 losses
before having to quit. You may have
n squirt of luck at the start, but in the
long run am morally certain to wipe
you out. That principle Of the per-
centage of capital is at the bottom Of
the profits of every gaming house in
the world from Monaco to Long

1t has been stated that if the hairs

could be plated together they would
make rope strong enough to support
a weight of something like eighty tons,
