Variation« In Taata Ara D u. ta tha
Sanaa af Small.
I t it not generally known that we
can taste only four different kinds
o f matter— that is, perceive by
means o f the tongue any more- than
four taste qualities o f matter. They
are sweet, sour, bitter and salt. ‘ Ï I
one holds his nose and places on his
tongue in succession pieces o f apple,
onion, raw potato and beet he cannot
tell the difference between them. By
these experiments it has been deter­
mined that the sense o f smell has
a great deal to do with the flavors
perceived or taken cognizance o f by
the brain. As the tongue can dis­
tinguish only these four sensations,
it is at once seen that all variations
in taste are due to the sense of
smell. In some cases, as with the
orange, all the flavor is in the smell,
so when we eat an orange while we
have a cold no taste is apparent.
These four sensations also have
not their respective seats distribut­
ed uniformly over the tongue. Sug­
ar and other sweets are perceived at
the tip o f the tongue, as are also
salty things. I f a little sugar is
placed on the back of the tongue
no sweetness is apparent. The locus
o f sour and bitter perception is
back farther in the mouth and
laced on the sides o f the tongue.
loth these facts are easily proved
by experiment.
Another peculiarity o f taste per­
ception is that dry things cannot be
tasted; only those that are in solu­
tion. I f a dry cracker is placed on
the tongue not taste is apparent un­
til the saliva has dissolved part of
it. I f the tongue is wiped dry with
a handkerchief and a little sugar is
placed on it no taste is perceived
for some time.
The mechanical arrangements
provided by the body for the per­
ception o f taste are also interesting.
In the mouth, situated in the places
mentioned as seats of taste percep­
tion and also in other places,
though not so thick, are what are
known as “ taste buds.” They get
this name from their almost exact
similarity to a bud when cut in
cross section.
These taste buds
have in them the excessively fine
branches o f the nerves o f taste that
carrr the impulse to the brain.
The only reason a great many
things are tasteless to us is because
they are not soluble in water or sa­
liva. Take sand, for instance, or
lead or gold. None o f these gives
any taste on this account.

With important affairs in French
history and was occupied by the
Guises in .1588, by Charles IV . in
1584, the Frondeurs in 1649 and
Conde in 1652.
It was natural, therefore, that the
Bastille should be one o f the first
objects o f attack at the outbreak
o f the Revolution.
In July 15,
1798, the populace o f Paris, recruit­
ed chiefly from the Faubourg St.
Antoine, attacked the fortress and
stormed it after a half hearted re­
sistance by the governor, De Lau-
nay, and a handful o f Swiss. The
vernor and seven o f his men were
led, the archives o f the prison
scattered, and the prisoners, seven
in number, were carried through
the streets and bailed as victims o f
tyranny and martyrs in the people’s
cause. The building itself was torn
down. The anniversary o f the tak­
ing o f the Bastille is celebrated ev­
ery year aa the national holiday o f
France. ________________

an emperor o f the Ming dynasty or­
dered that snch a work should be
undertaken, and in 1410 the 100
volumes were ready for block print­
ing. This process in ancient Chi­
na was accomplished by pasting
written copy on blocks of wood and
cutting the letters in relief. The
work o f printing the encyclopedia
seemed so arduous that it was aban­
doned, and the work remained in
manuscript. The hooks o f the en­
cyclopedia were one foot and eight
