WHY
Taste U Intimately Tied to
Sense of Smell.
Most everyone knows that, while
ill with a cold, food becomes comparatively
tastelesfc. While taste
and smell are listed separately in
the usual classification of the five
senses of the body it is known now
that there is an intimate connection
between the two. It may even
be said that some of the more intriguing
flavors which man enjoys
are really not tasted but smelU'd,
according to a Science Service writer.
In the moist, warm and dark cavity
called the mouth the aroma of
foods is released by the dissolving
action pf the saliva and travels up
into the smelling areas of the nose
through the backdoor, so to speak.
Inspectors q? food and tasterg of
tea, coiTee, butter, cheese and liq- '
uor have learned by experience that
they can do their fastest and best
work if they first smell the article
being examined and do actual tasting
only as a confirmatory check.
The delicate nerve endings which
are known as taste "buds" are not
distributed equally through all the
regions of the tongue. Sweetness is
best detected near the tip. Saltiness
and sourness are best tasted on the
front and sides of the tongue while
bitterness appears to be best observed
at the back of the tongue on
the top.
Why Lighthouse Keepers
Eagerly Await Newspaper
Know the first thing the wife of a
lighthouse keeper looks for when
she reads the paper? "Hatches,
matches and dispatches." In plain
English, that means "births, marriages
and deaths."
But then, they're news for folks
on the mainland, too. Peculiarly
enough, however, although most of
us read them merely in passing, at
a lonely spot such as bleak Dassen
island, off the coast of South Africa,
they're devoured!
The reason is, the mainland?so
familiar and such a part of those of
us upon it?is something far away 5
and inaccessible to a lighthouse
keeper. Yet, his home ties are there,
qnd he and his wife, willing exiles
though they be, think always in
terms of the folks they've left behind.
'That's why "hatches, matches and
dispatches" are so important to
them at those far-apart intervals
when a seagoing tug brings supplies,
provisions and news of the
outside world.
Why Jefferson Did Not Sign
Thomas Jefferson was not in the
country at the time of the framing,
signing and ratifying of the Con- t
stitution. In 1784 he was sent to !
France to join Benjamin Franklin
and John Adams in negotiating certain
commercial matters with foreign
countries, and in 1705 he succeeded
Franklin as minister to
France. In October, 1789, he returned
to America and' in the following
year became secretary of state
in the administration of George
Washington. . ^
Why It Is Winter Sports Cradle
With the exception of skating,
practically every winter sport made
its continental debut in St. Moritz.
The first skis were manufactured
there in 1859. In 1884 the first artificial
toboggan run was built by
British sportsmen and named the
Cresta run. St. Moritz was the
first place where iron runners on
bob and skeleton (1889 and 1892)
superseded runners of curved wood.
In 1907 the first horse races on
snow were instituted there.
Why Okapi Was Not Discovered
Authorities say that it is impossible
to distinguish an okapi in its
native haunts at a distance greater
than twenty-five paces. The peculiar
coloration of the animal is of
such a protective nature that it explains
in part why it remained undiscovered
so long by the scientific
world.
Why Bindings Need Moisture
Unless there is a little moisture in
the library the bindings on leather
books are apt to dry out easily. The
water may be kept out of sight. It
19 especially necessary, however, 1
during the fall and winter when
there is much heat and dry air in
the room.
Why Colds Rout Smell
The reason a person who has a
cold loses the sense of smell is that
the mucous membranes swell to
such an extent that the volatile material
is unable to reach the olfactory
nerve endings.
Why French Girls Are "Midinettes"
The name "midinette," applied to
French working girls, is derived
from the fact that the girls leave
the shops and factories where they
are em ploy rd every day at noon
for the.r midday meal.
Why There Are Noble Gases

eluding argon, hchurn, krypton, no- !
on, r. tor. and xenon are railed nob'.c |

Why Ml ?c\ Hills Are So Named
The name Blank Hills is a translation
of the French "Cote Noir " j
The hills were so ntemed by the
early French traders from the character
of the timber growing on
them, which gives them a dark appeal
a.tec.

He entered the race subject to the rules
of the Democratic Party?waged one of the
cleanest campaigns ever known in the County,
without criticism of any other candidate, and
after piling up an overwhelming plurality
which should assure his election, is now compelled
through a technicality of the rules of
the party to run against a last hour candidate
who withdrew from the race earlier in
the campaign.
