In a pamphlet recently Issued by tlio Smithsonian Institution, Dr. N. E. Me lndoo of tho Bureau of Entomology states that the sense ot smell In honey ibees Is highly developed, and Hint it 'also serves as a scnao of taste. In some Instances tho bcessoemed to din .tlngulsh a marked difference In thn 'lasto between certain mlxturea w.hlch itio scientist himself could scarcely perceive.

Oil of peppermint, which Is agreeable to man, 13 distasteful to bees, whllo on tho contrary another substance which tho experimenter did not like seemed to please the bees. It was also discovered that the bees must first eat more or less of certain foods before thoy can distinguish be tween them, Indicating that they have a trim gustatory sense unless this dis crimination Is made possible by means of the olfactory sense.

Even iu the higher fi r:ns ol life It la difficult to distinguish ihe sense ot taste lrom that of .siuell, and iu his experiments Dr. iUtludoo has dit.co ered that in the beo thoj-e two senses rannot be separated at all In fact, the reuse of taste piovc3 to Ii3 merely one phase ot the olfactory hou .a. or sense ol smell. Dr.'McIndoo begun by leedinc the bees several substances from which five classc'3 were chosen to study the cects; rcpollant, sweet, bitter, scut ind salty substances, the lour latter being reprenc'.ilative of the attributes of human taste. The experiments show that bees like honey he3t nl 'all foods, and that they ure able to-diRtliiltinidi the dilfeicncc.s lictwcon various kinds of Iio.ipv; tlio' vestlgated the tactile sense, or th sense of touch of the honey bee, and believes that with the organs for that purpose the beo is enabled to mold in uniform thickness the wall of all its cells. He also investigated the manner In which bees eat liquid food3 by cap illary attraction and by a pumping force which thoj- possess. Solid sub stances, which they cannot eat at once, are dissolved by the application of saliva. He discovered that many solid substances, which ate not pre viously smclled by the bees, release odors tin ouch the physical cr chemi cal changVs brought about A'hou they aie dissolved b saliva. Dr. Mclqduo and tue few other sci entists who have fed insects foodi lontahilii' undesirable substances have observed that they relusc such foods after eatiir,' more or less of them. From this observation the other authors have concluded that In sects can taste, although they have not ascertained whether they possess sense organs anatomically adapted for tasting, nor have they considered the role played by the sense of smell In these responses.
