GADSDEN SCORES ITS FIFTH VICTORY

GADSDEN, Ala. July s.--(Special.) ) Gadsden won it's twenty seventh game of the year by nosing out Hunt Brothers of ChatSanooga in sweet pitchers battle here Monday after noon, 1 to 0. Bob Savage, for Gads- den, and Lefty Ware, for Chatta- nooga, tied up in the affair, with the former giving up four hits and the latter allowing six.
 The only run of the game was scored in the eighth frame when. with Jess Lackey on third, he came home on a single by Louse Walker. Tucker of Hunt Brothers was the tnly man of the day to get more than one hit, connecting for his first two times at bat.
 The contest was one of the best games of the year, as both teams are about on par, and both pitchers were in superb form. However, Bob Savage got the best end of the deal and received good support in the tight places. Brindley and Stewart made stme nice catches in the last inning that robbed the 'Noogans.
 The two teams will meet again Tuesday and Wednesday, and Mon days victory for Gadsden by no means gives them the series. Score:

A Magnetic Packer.

TT Is reported that q Swiss inventor

lei layers ready for packing. 1t works
on the principle that all linear iron
objects in magnetic field arrange
themselves automatically in the d.
rection Of the lines Of force. The ma
chine can also be used to arrange
wire rods, hairpins, knife blades. pens
and fshhocks The packages to be
filled by the machine may be the
standard type of nail keg, wooden
boxes or paper cartons. It is probable.
that the ten-pound cardboard pack.
age will supersede the old fashioned
nail keg. because It costs less, weighs
less and is more convenient. t@..zf
The machine consists OF two parts
paralleling platform and a feed
trough above 1t, which is fitted with q.
shaking mechanism The articles to-
be packed are poured into the feed
trough In lots OF about 1000 pounds,
and, by the. action Of the shaking
mechanism, are moved to the fronts
the trough, whence they drop into the
paralleling platform. That consists
of a tray, each side. of which forms
one pole Of an electromagnet. The
articles as they fall are drawn into
the direction OF the magnetic lines
of force, which adjust them at once
in parallel lines. .-

Curiosities of Taste.

THE sense Of taste in human beings
has been divided into four classes
sweet, bitter, salt and acid. These
four classes, with their combinations,
produce all, the delicious sensations
that we ascribe to taste. as well as
all the disagreeable impressions OF
thar sense.
But the tongue is not equally
sensitive In all parts to these sensa-
tions. Indeed. 1t 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 most sensitive
to sweet and Acid tastes. while 1t is
far less. capable of perceiving bit
ter taste than any other part of the
organ. Some persons are unable to
perceive any bitter taste when qui-
nine is applied to the tip of the
tongue only. At the back of the
tongue the bitterness of the drug In
perceived at once.
An explanation Of the curious Sc
lecfive powers exhibited by the
tongue Is that a variety of nerve f.
bers ares present in that organ; each
kind being sensitive only to. one OF
the four prinefpals classes of taste.
These nerve fibers are distributed in
varying numbers over different parts
of the tongue.
At the tip, for instance. the nerves
which are sensitive to sweet and acid
stimuli are most numerous. and ac
cord In civ In that locafitv fhnse "a Sfas
are the ones most readily perceived.
At the back of the tongue. on ,the
other hand, the nerve fibers concerned
In the perception of bitterness prevail
over the others.
A singular proof of the fact that
on particular parts of the tongue one
sort of nerve fibers may overpower
and mask the effect of another sort
is furnished by placing sulphate OF
magnesia on the back of the tongue.
At first only a strong bitter taste is
perceived. but when the nerves pro-
ducing the bitter taste are paralyzed.
as they may be by the application of
the drug called gymnema. without af-
fecting the other nerves. than
slight acid taste becomes evident.
Thus even our slightest sensations
of pleasure or pain are the result of
q complicated system of nerve fibers
and nerve endings, and while we can
begin to perceive that certain nerves
possess certain powers, or are sensi-
tive to certain Impressions and not
to others, yet the cause of these diff
ferences remains to be discovered.
