Taste and Smell.

Psychologists have 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 French
savants. Air enters the olfact0ry
chamber, where the nerves connected
with the sense Of smell are centerec,
both through the nostrils and through
an inlet leading from the mouth. In
consequence. a breath Of perfumed air
manifests its odor not only Wnen
breathed in, but when 1t Is Dreathed
out. For this reason we are some
times deceived as to the source OF the
Measure we derive from things taken
into the mouth, the agreeableness OF
