ANIMAL ORGANS OF TASTE.
| Easirr to Soy Where They Are Net
Than to Locate Them.
Many experiments hare been
made in order to find out what and
where the organ of taste is in the
lower creation, but it is easier to 1
say where it is not. Crawfish and
worms seem to have very decided
preferences in the matter of fooa,
though no special taste organ has
yet been found.
Snails and slugs show a decided
preference for certain kinds of
food, as gardbn lovers know to their
cost. Peas and cabbages, dahlias^
and sunflowers are great favorites,'
but they will not touch the white
mustard. Some prefer animal food,
especially if rather high. Spiders
have only a slight sense of taste.
Flies soaked in paraffin seem quite
palatable to them, though one spe
i cies, the diadema, is somewhat more
particular and refuses to touch al
cohol in any form whatever.
The proboscis of the fly and the
tongues of bees and ants are fur
nished with numerous delicate hairs
set in. minute pits. These are per
haps connected with the organ of
| taste, but though the exact locality
of this sense in insects is uncertain
we know that groups of cells in the
tongues of animals called taste
bulbs form in part the ends of the
organ of the higher animals. They
are very close and exceedingly nu
merous in man, while the tongue
of even the cow has some 35,000
taste bulbs.
It would be interesting to know
whether each special taste excites
a special group of nerves.
These curious little taste bulbs
were discovered in 1867. Each one
consists of two kinds of cells, one
set forming an outer protective cov
ering through an opening in which
project from five to ten of the true
taste cells. Though important, they
are not apparently an essential part
of the organ, for birds and reptiles
have none, but neither hdve they
a keen sense of taste.—Boston Her
ald.
Hotel Clerk’s Queer Job.
“Ha-ha! Te-he! Ho-ho! Haw
haw!"
These and various other varieties
of giggles and laughs rang out in
the lobby of the Hotel Pfister. It
was not a humorists’ convention,
however, that resulted in the merry
chuckles. Investigation showed that
the guests lined up in front of the
clerk’s desk were laughing at a
stunt being pulled off by the key
clerk. He was peeling potatoes;
hence the loud peals.
“I thought they peeled the pota
toes in the kitchen,” said one fat
drummer.
“The potatoes you eat are peeled
in the kitchen,” said the clerk, “but
I’m peeling these for penwipers.”
Then the wise ones sat down.—
Milwaukee Journal.
Inquisitive.
The teacher was hearing the class
J in arithmetic. One of the pupils, a
rather stupid boy, watched the fig
| nres on the blackboard with a great
deal of interest, much to the teach
er’s satisfaction. The teacher did
several sums on the board especial
ly for this pupil, and as he erased
the last figure he turned to#the boy:
“Well, Andrew, do you under
stand those examples that I have
just been doing ?”
“No, sir,” replied the boy, “but I
would like to ask a question about
them.”
“What is it, Andrew?”
“Where do the figures go,” asked
Andrew, “when they are rubbed
out?"—Everybody’s.
He’s of Somber Plumage.
In a country school, says the
Glasgow News, a teacher who was
dissatisfied with the home lessons
of one of his boys called him out to
the front and, having applied chas
tisement to his 6tinging palm, re
marked, “You are like the curate’s
egg—good in parts.” The boy re
turned to his scat, blowing.through
his hands in the approved school
boy fashion, and presently, through
sobs which' rendered audible what
was intended for a whisper, he was
heard to inquire of his neighbor,
“Whit kin’ o’ bird is a curate, Wul
lie?” Wullie was evidently totally
unable to supply the information,
for he looked puzzled and shook his
head.
Mixed Metaphors In the Commons.
The house of commons is never
10 amused as when a member is be
trayed in his enthusiasm into a mix
ed metaphor. Mr. Balfour one time
spoke of ah “empty theater of un
sympathetic auditors,” while Lord
Curzon remarked that "though not
out of the wood we have a good
ship.” Sir William Hart Dyke told
how Mr. Low^her "had caught a.big
fish in his net and went to the top
of the tree for it,” while a financial
minister assured the commons that
"the steps of the government should
go hand in hand with the interests
of the manufacturer.” — London
