The Deposits on the Surface Of Sub

Whether or not the light Of Gay
penetrates the obscure depths Of the
sea has not been settled By scientists,
and the fact that some animals found
at depth exceeding 200 fathoms have
no eyes or very faint indication OF
them. while others possess very large
and protruding eyes, helps to make
the dispute all the more sharp.
Another strange thing about the
lower depths Of the ocean IS that
when its inhabitants possess any color

red or reddish oranse-for example.

Taste and Smell.

Psychologists bare long known that
many sensations ordinarily ascribed
to taste are in reality due to smell.
but this fact has been made clearer
than before by the investigations OF
German savauts. Air enters the oil
factory chamber. where the nerves
connected with the sease Of smell are
centered. both through the nosEis
and through an inlet leading from the
mouth. In consequence breath OF
perfumed air manifests It's odor not
only when it is breathed IN. but when
It Is breathed c1t. For this reason We
are sometimes deceived IS to the
source Of the pleasure we derive from
things taken into the mouth. the agree
ablepess Of the impression being due,
in some cases. rather to SMELL than to
taste.-New York Herald
