Dan CreedOn, the Australian, for the
alleged middleweight Championship.
Mccoy had been hurting challenges at
Bob Fitzsimmons for several months.
but Ruby Robert was too busy elevate

ing. Doc Payne was a fairly good
fighter, and, as he had been IN Nc
Coy's training camp when the latter
was preparing to fight Creedon, he
was supposed TO be wise 20 all Of tho
HOOsier's tricks. The Louisville de-

hadn't been a very apt pupil. for the
Kid pulled his "Cat and mouse" act
with Payne in the role Of the rodent.
While some boxing authorities refuse
TO admit the validity OF McCoy's
claims to the middleweight title at
this period, he vas certainly the
best man OF that weight in
the ring with the exception OF Eitz,
and Bob had definitely relinquished
that title TO go after heavy weight
honors- In his prime Mccoy was never

Sense Of Taste.

The principal seat Of the sense OF
taste is the mucous membrance Of the
tongue, in which dissection reveals q
cults or chorion, capillary structure,
and an epithelium. The cults is tough,
but thinner and less dense than in
most parts of the cutaneous surface,
and receives the Insertions of the in
trinsic muscles of the tongue. The
capillary structure differs from that Of
the skin In not being concealed under
the epithelium. but in projecting from
the surface like the Wilt Of the dfges-
tive canal, and it thus gives to the
tongue its well known roughness. The
epithelium is of the scaly variety, as
on the skin, but is much thinner on
the tongue than on the skin. It is
most dense about the middle of the
upper surface Of the tongue, and 1t is
here that, in disordered digestion,
there is the chief accumulation Of fur,
which, in reality, is simply depraved
and over-abundant formation Of cpl
thelium. The papillae on the surface
81 the tongue are either simple or COM
pound. The former, which closely
resemble those on the skin, are scat
tered over the whole surface of the
tongue in parts where the others do
not exist, and they likewise partici-
pate in the formation of the compound
papillae. =.
