You rn.te with Your Throat.

The idea that the sense Of taste has
any connection with the threat appears
peculiar ut first thought. We have been
possessed with the notion that the
sense of taste lies in the tongue and
the palate. We all speak of fine pal
ate. and many persons express aston
ishment that they can enjoy delicacy
as well after having had a plate fitted
to their mouths by dentist as they
could before they paid visit to that
clever gentleman.
The sense OF taste is not confined to
the tongue and the palate. but is more
widely distributed. You taste also with
the epiglottis, that little valve at the
base of the tongue and the larynX. to
which the epiglottis acts as an assist
ant, also takes part in the process.
Concerning the palate, it is noteworthy
that we taste with the soft part, which
is at the back Of the mouth, but not
with the hard or front palate. That ex-
plains the mystery of the dental plate.
The tonsils do nothing for the sense of
taste, nor does the uvula.

A Riddle Making Epoch.

There have been epochs at which rid
die making has been more especially in
vogue, and such epochs would appear
to occur at seasons of fresh intellectual
awakening. Such an epoch there was
at the first Glimmering of new intel
lectual light in the second half of the
seventh century. This was the age Of
Aldhelm, bishop of Sherborne. the first
I'm the roll OF Anglo-Latin poets. He
left n considerable number OF enigmas
in Latin hexameters, and they have
been repeatediG printed.
Aldhelm died in 100. Before his
time there was n collection of Latin
riddles that bore the name of Sympho-
sius. OF this work the date is I'M
known. We only know that Aldhelm
used 1t, and we may infer that it was
then a recent product. The riddles OF

and nervous over their new and unac-

and were terribly irritable.
They paced back and forth in their
cages. stealthily watching each other

they met at the bars between the

challenge and strike at the lioness with
such viciousness and venom that the
bars of the cage settled in their sock

Unfortunately the keepers did not
take warning by these encounters, and
early the other morning the beasts
came together ut the barrier again.
There was a fierce snarl by the lioness,
and her raised paw as quick as a flash
shot out and caught bruin on his ten

claws tore bruins flesh and drew blood.
The bears fierce nature showed itself
at once, and, with deep growl. he
threw himself at the bars and reached

huge paw sent his adversary SPRAYING

With IL snarling shrek of fury, the

| One of the most interesting installa-
lions of electric mining machinery OPP
Grated by direct current system, says
The Western Electrician, Is that Of the
Tiiiederhall company in Thiede, near
Brunswick. Germany. The electric
power generating plant is equipped
with high speed steam engine, driv-
ing 4 direct current generator. The
current is conducted through the
switchboard to q regulating storage
battery located in an adjoining room
and thence to the various electrically
operated machines in the mines.
Che cables supplying the current to
the electric hosting apparatus, venti-
Iators, pumps and other mining ma
chimes pass down the main shaft and
branch to the various working sections
of the mine The windlass is driven
by two directly connected 500 volt mo-
tors of 100 horsepower each. These
motors are shunt wound machines and
are designed to operate and elevate the
various loads at different speeds. from

or about 20 feet The hosting cable
weighs 1.5 Kilograms per meter length
ana operates at SI1eeu Vi duOuI
meters Q9.T feeO a second, the cages
making 81 trips an hour. The highest
speed allowed while carrying men
up and down the shaft is 3 meters
about 10 feet a second, and during
each eight hour shift the total weight

The absolute control of the hosting
apparatus by the electric motors is be-

The hoist Is equipped with two special
brakes, one for ordinary working and
one as n safety brake, for use in case
of an accident. The first can be set
directly by foot lever controlled at

hydraulic means The safety brake
comes into operation as soon as the
cage is within siXty-siX feet of the end
of the shaft. A lever is then automat-
icaIly tripped which controls the mo-
tors. operating them as generators and
forming an electric brake. This lever
may also be operated by the engineer
