Taste and Smell.

Psychologists have long known that
many sensations ordinarily ascrtbed
TO taste are in reality due to smell.
but this fact has been made clearer
than before by the Investigations OF
German savants. Air enters the oil
factory chamber. where the nerves
connected with the sense Of smell are
centered. both through the nostrtls
and through an inlet leading from the
mouth. In consequence breath OF
perfumed air manifests its odor not
only when il is breathed In. but when
it is breathed cut. For this reason We
are sometimes deceived as to the
source OF the pleasure We derive from
things taken into the mouth. the agree
ableness of the impression being due.
In some cases. rather to smell than to
taste.-New York Herald.

w. Nj. Newson tells Of an amusing
incident In which a dead duck dis

approaching. They came directly for us.
but unfortunately did not stop for our

a nice plump looking drake. He start.

loose rather promiscuously and then
started to load up. Behind me Johnny
was still shooting Then Johnny yelled,
and something hit me a mighty swat
on the back Of my neck. whereupon
tried to clean big hunk OF stone Of
its barnacles by means OF my nose and
front teeth. This MAJ be pleasant to
look upon, but 1t is not an enjoyable
pastime.
Il had always liked Johnny. but the
thought that he had hit me on the
back Of the neck and was now laugh
ing was too much. l started for him
with murder IN my eye and large

me and mumbled some words about

hind me on the rocks was the same
plump looking drake that l had shot
mt the first time. 1t was hard to real.
ize that such small bird had such a
mighty swat.

Pre-CoIumbian Voyages.

Concerning the subject Of the discov.

Nothing can be clearer from survey
of the whole subject than that these
pre- Columbian voyages were quite bar
rem Of results Of historic importance
In point of colonization they produced
the two Ill fated settlements on the
Greenland coast and nothing more;
otherwise they made no real addition
to the stock Of geographical knowl
edge. They wrought no effect what
ever upon the European mind. In nc
sense was any real contact established
between the eastern and western
halves Of our planet until the great
