SENSE or TASTE.
Curious SeIective Powers Exhibited by
the Tongue.

Curious Seective Powers Exhibited by
the Tongue.
-Four casses-sweet, bitter. salt and
acid have been assigned to the sense
lot taste In human beings. These four
classes with their combinations pro-
dnce all the delicious sensations that
We ascribe To taste as well as all the
disagreeabIe impressions Of that sense.
The tongue. however " not equally
sensitive in an parts 10 these sensa-
tons. Indeed. il has been shown that
different tastes result from the same
stimulus when applied to different
places on the tongue. The tip Of the
tongue. for Instance. is mos sensitive
to sweet and to acid tastes while il Is
far less capable Of perceiving a bitter
taste than any other part of the organ.
Some persons are unable 70 perceive
any bitter taste when quinirs is ap-
piled only 10 the tip Of thu tongue.
AT the back Of The tongue ~. bitter
ness Of the drug is perceived once.
An explanation of the cui .,uS selec'
tive powers exhibited by the tongue
.is that variety OF nerve tibers are
present In that organ, each kind being
sensitive only to one Of the four prin-
cipal classes of taste. These nerve ii
bers are distributed In varying mum
bers over different parts Of the tongue.
AT the tip, for example. the nerves that
are sensitive to sweet and acid stimuli
are most numerous. and accordingly
in that locality those tastes are the
ones most readily perceived. AZ the
back of the tongue. on The contrary.
the nerve fibers concerned in the per-
ception Of bitterness prevail over the
others.--New York Press.

And look unmoved upon the slain,
Eternal peace upon thy brow.

. Shall serve the right or serve the
wrong,
Confirm our freedom but so long
AS we are worthy to be free
But when (oh distant be the timeD
Majorities in passion draw
Insurgent swords to murder Law,
And all the land is red with crime;
Or-nearer menace!-when the band
OF feeble spirits cringe and plead
To the gigantic strength of Greed,
And fawn upon his iron hand;
Nay, when the steps to pow'r are worn
In hollows by the feet of thieves,
And chuckles while the reapers
Then stay thy miracles-replace
The broken throne, repair the chain
Restore the interrupted reign
And veil again Thy patient face.
Lot here upon the worlds extreme
We stand and lift our arms and dare
BY Thine eternal name to swear
Our country which so fair we deem
Upon whose hills a hammered throng,
The spirits of the dawn display
Their flashing lances all the day,
And hear the seas pacific song
Shall be ruled in right and grace
That men shall say: oh, drive afield
The lawless eagle from the shield,
And call an angel to the place"

LINER
IN THE WORLD

Europa, the largest ocean liner in
the world, is under construction for
the Hamburg-American line at the
Vulcan shipyards, says The American
Marine Engineer. This remarkable
ocean steamer is longer than the
three great hotels, Plaza, Astor and
Waldorf-Astoria are high, placed one
above the other. The Europa has a
capacity for feeding and housing A.
$50 passengers and a crew of 81 900
men, or a total of $3.50 persons.
The Hotel Plaza measures 800 feet
in height, with a capacity of S95
guests, and the Hotel Astor 200 feet
high, furnished for $1,000 guests, to-
geher with the Waldorf-Astoria 300
feet high, accommodating 1,4O0 persons,
with a total height of only $40 feet
and housing only 1926 people, while
the Europa is sixty feet longer than
those three buildings are high and ac-
commodities 1000 more persons than
these buildings. The Europa is of 5O,-
900 tons capacity, while the Mauretania
has a tonnage of $4,000 and a length
Of 100 feet the Olympic being 1926
feet long, with 1890 tonnage. 1t is
stated that the new liner will weigh
140,000,000 h., requiring the popula-
ton of Philadelphia, or 100000 man
carrying 100 lb. each to handle this
amount of material
1t may be stated that the Europa
will have a beam of ninety-six feet,
her deck will be as wide as Broadway

nine decks above the water line,
