SENSE Of SMELL IN BEES
SAID HIGHLY DEVELOPED
DR.. N. E. McIndoo Tells of Expert
mental Work Showing They Have
Likes and Dislikes.

In a pamphlet recently issued by the
Smithsonian Institution, DIR. N. Z. Nc
Indoo of the bureau of entomology
states that. the sense of smell in honey
bees is highly developed, and that it
also serves as a sense of taste. In
some instances the bees seemed to dis
tinguish marked difference in the
taste between certain mixtures which
the scientist himself could scarcely
perceive.
Until recently but little experimental
work has been performed to determine
whether insects have a true sense of
taste or gustatory sense as it is term
ed in science. but the present author
has endeavored to show that bees have
likes and dislikes in regard to foods.
and has made a careful study of the
structure of the sense organs on the
mouth-parts of the honey bee. In his
experiments he used something like
$500 bees, mostly adults. all of which
were kept in their normal State.
Even in the higher forms of life it
is difficult to distinguish the sense of
taste from that of smell, and in his
experiments DIR. McIndoo has discover
ed that in the bee these two senses
the sense of taste proves to be merely
one phase of the olfactory sense, or
sense of smell.
DIR. McIndoo began by feeding the
bees several substances from which
five classes were chosen to study the
effects: repellent, sweet, bitter, sour
and salty substances, the four latter
being representative of the attributes
of human taste.
The experiments show that bees like
honey best of all foods and that they
are able to distinguish the differences
between various kinds of honey; that
they have likes and dislikes. and that
they can distinguish in foods differ
ences not perceptible to the writer. Oil
of peppermint, which is agreeable to
man. is distasteful to bees, while on
the contrary another substance which
the experimental did not like seemed
to please the bees.
1t was also discovered that the bees
must first eat more or less of certain
foods before they can distinguish be-
tween them, indicating that they have
a true gustatory sense unless this dis
elimination is made possible by means
of the olfactory sense.

Reasonably fair catches of salmon
have been made by the gill netters
along the stretch Of open water be-
low Grants Pass since the fishermen
at the mouth OF the stream we're re-
quired TO obey the provisions Of the
law. With the enforcement OF the
fishing laws on all portions Of the

gulated commercial fishing and prop

in any way interfere with the sport

salmon has a commercial value, and
its value as a sport fish is very small.
II has been the abuse Of the law that
has put commercial fishing in bad
repute. As conducted on the stretch
Of open water Of the upper river
there can now be no objection. Our
fishermen are following the letter
and the spirit OF the law. Angling

Wars usually have some great
cause or reason for their being. The
wars in which the United States have
been involved have been actuated By
patriotism or in the interests OF hu-
manity. The principle which the flag
represented has been clear to the
mental vision In Europe there
seems to be no well defined reason
for the outbreak OF hostiiities. but
once the nations were involved.
kaiser or king or emperor or presi-
dent had all the people Of his coun-
try solidly behind him. National pa
triotism filled the spirit OF the
people. But down in Mexico II Is
different. There wars are fought
more as they were fought before
civilization was supposed to have laid
its awakening hand upon the face OF
the globe, and the only principle
involved seems to be the principle
OF might. = Il banditry in one form

Next week ii may be changed, and

Wilson again fawning before the pre-
sent bandit chieftain. Trevino was
placed in charge OF the troops Of the
de facto government in northern
Mexico. but when he had things well
in hand he sought an alliance with
villa, against whom his troops we're
supposed to be arrayed. The sol
diers do not care whom they fight or
for whom they take up arms so they
be permitted to pillage and burn and
ravish. That Is why the Mexican
question can probably never be set
tied without outside help. No gov
ernment can be safe or stable so long
as its only foundation is a personal
ambition and an individual selfish
ness. Love for Mexico and desire
for the upbuilding of the country are
not the reasons for war in Mexico

That Robert J. Smith Of Campbell

tcenth district, will clean up III the
race with Henry Wilson Of Ava, Chris

pressed yesterday afternoon By Robert

ersville, and brother of former Con
gresham Charles 4. Grow.
Grow was in the Cape to enter a
plea of guilty to a charge in the L. S.

in close connection with the political
situation in the southeast portion Of

TOM ]. JUDEN TO Be
POSTMASTER MAY 6
Report From Washington Says
He Will Soon Succeed
E. w. Flentge-

Thomas J. Juden has received word
from Washington that he will be
appointed postmaster to succeed f. W
F'lentge, between May l and May G.
according TO his close political friends.
Many Democrats have been predict
ing that c.. ". Stout. the present
assistant postmaster, would succeed
llr. Flcntge, although he has not made
any effort to land the appointment.
The announcement made by friends of
Juden, however, indicates that Juden
has the place nailed down.
Charles Lewis, David A Glenn and
DR.. J. c. Vorbeck, who were candi-
dates for the place, before Congress
man Russell announced that he would
name Juden. have not made fight on
Mr.. Juden, as it was stated about one
year ago that they would do.
Mr.. Flentge entered the office of
postmaster twelve years ago last
December, but he did not get his COM
mission until May Of the following
year. On the theory that the appoint
ment dates from the day the commits
sion was issued, Mr.. Juden has not
made any efforts to force Mr.. Russell
to rush him into office.
The term of office expires on the
last day of December, but the appoint
ment Of Mr. Flentge and the subse-
quent delay in issuing his commission
changed the date for entering the
Office. Mr.. Juden believes that he Will
be permitted to serve until May 6
1920, even if Republicans should get
control of Congress.
