noise than a brass band, and put the

The sense Of taste In fishes was the

buds. which resemble taste bulls In
structure and are wholly Independent

like the taste buds In the mouth. they
are innervated by communis nerves
and presumably they serve the gusta.
tory function. To test this hypothesis
experiments were performed to deter.
mine how the silur0id fishes peieeive
their food. 1t appears that the sense
Of sight phys very little part. the
sense Of smell and the sense Of touch
considerable parts. but the sense Of
taste clearly the chief part In their
detection Of food. These fishes appear
to taste not only In the mouth. hut by

barblets or the skin Of the body ut
any point. as far back ~ the roots Of
the tail fin. Taste and touch scnsa-
lions arising In these cutaneous areas
commonly cooperate in evoklng the
reflex Of seizing food. but by training
the fishes can be taught to iiscriinl-
nate between taste and touch elements

when both are present. ignoring sim.
pie tactile contacts. Some other fishes

the GATES
HOUSE BURNED
LAST NIGHT

A fire early this morning complete
ly wrecked the large boarding house
owned by John P. Kelley on Spauld-
ing street facing Washington street.
The alarm was rung in from box 81
at few minutes before 2 O'Clock and
tefore the fire department could
reach the place the house was com.
pletely Quilted by flames and beyond
human power to save 1t.
The blaze probably caught from the
furnace In tie cellar. Mrs. Kelley
first discovered it, She woke her
husband telling him there was smoke
in the honse. He got up at once and
fouad the whole house filed with fire
or smoke. They we're unable to get
out by way Of the hall and SO they
with the children climbed out Of the
widow in their night clothes. The
10 boarders did the same.
Practically nothing Of value was
saved. Besides the furniture and
fixtures MIR. Kelley lost check for
$50. The alarm was rung in by Will
lam Morrison.
The house is valued at from $4,000
to S70Oe, and was insured for $4,000
through &. H. Pape's agency. The
furniture was insured for $3.50 with
w. A. Boyce. The whole was com.
plete loss.
Mr.. Kelley recently took Of $4,000
from S67b0 that he carried.
The firemen worked like Trolans
from ten minutes before two O'Clock
until I O'Clock. There was only one
ladder that would reach the gable
window. Some OF the boarders got
their clothes on but others came out
Just as they we're sleeping. The
tiremen are deeply grateful to the
neighbors for their kindness In con-
tribusing hot coffee.
The house was built In 1888 by
Scott L. Gates. Stillman White pur-
chased it from him G. N. Field
owned 1T later and Mr.. Kelley bought
it three years ago.
II Is thought that the fire caught
in partition which stood close to the
furnace.
The firemen gay it is the worst fire
they ever attended and the Hook and
Ladder equipment Of the city il en-
tirely inadequate.

+ Mr.. pape Of Barre city opposed the
bill. He said the employers and the
employees Of Barre can settle their
own differences without the assistance
of any outside interference.
John Young of Newport called at
tention to the clause In the bill which
would send an employesto State 'sipri-
soa ior year for ref sing to appear
before the arbitrators showing the
utter absurdity and unconstitutional.
ity of such an act. Such q clause
would condemn the bill before any
court or any Legislature.
w. A. Boyce Of Barre favored the
bill as q whole. He believed the trend
of labor difficulties throughout the
country is toward arbitration and he
believed the bill has merit Both
sides IN labor troubles have q right to
be heard and the bill under discussion
is move in the right direction.
Fed Bruce Of Barre, organizer
of the Granite Cutters Union, was
bitterly opposed to the bill. He said
the granite men Of Vermont and OF
New England have no use for compul.
sorry arbitration. Judge H Fl. Pow
ers said the scheme of compulsory
arbitration had been tried in several
States and has proved failure. Such
q bill does away with the right and
power of personal contract. When you
overstep voluntary arbitration and es-
tablish q court Of arbitration you
open a very wide door. The judicial
power Of the people has all been dele
gated to the courts. When the le
gislature attempts to establish an In
dependent court 1t is an innovation.

fact that the legislature could not

stands Is one that no committee could
render q favorable report upon.
