INSECTS WITH LITTLE TASTE.
Spider* Have Only a .Wllgtit Srliis, XYtitle
Other* vlioxv Preference.
Many experiment* have boon nmdo
in order to find out what and whore
tlie organ of taste is in the lower
creation; but. according- to t hambor's
Journal, it is easier to nay whoro it is
not. Crayfish and worms Boom to
havu very decided preferences in tho
matter of food, though no special
taste organ lias yet been found. Lob- :
store like decaying food: tho crab is '
more particular in its diet. Snails '
and slugs show a decided preference
for certain kinds of food, as garden !
lovers know, to their cost: peas and j
cabbages, dahlias and sunflowers aro
great favorites, but they will not I
touch the white mustard. Some pro- |
for animal food, especially if rather |
high. Spiders have only a slight .
sense of taste: flies soaked in paraffin I
seem quite palatable to them, though
one species, the diadema. issomowhul
more particular und refuses to touch
alcohol in any form whatovor.
The untennao of insects do not ap
pear to contain any organ of taste,
for wasps and ants quite readily took !
into their mouths poisonous and un
pleasant food. even swallowing
enough to make themselves ill. whilo
sumo bees und cockroaches fell a prey
to tho temptation of alum, Epsom
salts and other nauseous foods placed
in their ivuy. These substances wero
not. however, swallowed, but wero
soon spat out, the creaturos sputter
ing angrily, as if disgusted with the
taste The proboscis of tho fly and
the tongues of bees und ants are fur
nished with numerous delicate hairs
bet in minute pits: these are, per
haps, connected with tho organ of
taste, but. though tho exact- locality
of this sense in insect* is uncertain,
wo knoxv that groups of colls in the
tongues of unimals, called taste bulb-,
fo.’tn in part tho ends of tho organ of
taste Those vary in number, in
creasing in the higher unitnuls. They
aro very close and exceedingly num
erous in man. whilo tin* tongue of
even tho cow hus some 85,00 J taste
bulbs It would be interesting to
know whether each special taste ex
cites a special group of nerves and
that only —thus corresponding to the
auditory nerve*. Tlhmo taste bulbs
were discovered in 1 .-507. Euclf ono
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 tho true
taste cells. Though important, they
are not, apparently, an essential part
of the organ, for birds and reptiles
have none, but neither have they a
keen sense of taste—except, perhaps,
the parrot. A boa-eonstrictor that
was nearly blind was once found to
bo contentedly swallowing a blanket
for dinner, instead of a rabbit, which
was also within reuch, anti it was only
with great dlHicully that it was
forced to disgorge this singular arti

B. AND O. SECRET SERVICE.
An liiKonlou* Coiitilvuiil-0 for l'#e In th*
T«*ifuriipli Drpnrtmrnt.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company lias adopted an ingenious
contrivance for use in the telegraph
department says tho Baltimore Amer
ican.
There aro alone the various line?*
of tho great Baltimore and Ohio
system scores of oillcos whero the
agent is also tho telegraph operator.
His duties as agent frequently call
him so far away from his instrument
that it is Impossible, undo.’ the pres
ent ays tom, to make him hear his call
when it is desired to communicato
with him. The new device is so ar
ranged that in all otficos whore these
circumstances exist u bell will be
placed, und tho operator at terminal
or division head-quarters can call the
operator wanted without informing
tiny othor oflleo on tho line, no mat
ter how many offices there may be
which have these bells in them.
As telegraph lines are operated at
presont—if. for oxamplo. the Balti
more office desires to call the Wheel
ing (W. Vo.) office, nearly 400 miles
away—tho call passes through every
intermediate otlloe, but under tho
new system the turning of u switch
will cut out all tho o' Ices except the
ono wanted.
Tho system will also be applied to
those offices whoro the amount of bus
iness done at night is not sufficient
to justify the employment of u night
operator, and whero the day operator .
resides in the depot building, there J
being instances when It is desirable, I
from various causes, to communicato J
with tho operator uftor the close of
tho rogular business hours. The in- j
vontion Is the result of over twenty j
years of experimenting;, and tho com- 1
binatlon of more than twenty patents, j
The contrivance is the Now York
electric secret service system. Tho
transmitter at flio central point is
operated by an ordinary telegraph
key. This transmitter can send out
any combination of dots, dashes and
spaces. At each station thoro are
instruments so arranged that they
will respond only to tho peculiar
combination for which they are ar
ranged.
When the oporator at the central
station desires to call up a station
along the line, lie places tho key
whero it will mako tho necossary
combination that cuts out all other
stations but the ono lie wants. This
causes a bell at the station he calls to
ring, and at tho some timo operates a
magnet which causes an answering
signal to sound in tho central station.
He thus knows that his call was audi
ble at the station ho desires to com
municato with. The boll at the station
will continue to ring until tho opora
tor answers, and if no answer is made
the bell will ring all day.
Achieved Fame in Short Lives.
Alexander tho Groat, tho conqueror
of tho world, died when he was 32
years old. Maurico of Saxony, the
greatest captain and statesman of his
timo. died at tho enmo ago. Tho
duke of Weimar, ono of Adolphus’
generals, died at tho ago of 36,
whilo Gustavus Adolphus died when
he was BS. Pascul, tho great French
writor, and Raphael, tho great Ital
ian artist, both died nt 37.
A Bad Break.
Vicar, who has an unfortunato
habit of saying “quite so” during
conversation calls upon tho bishop
nbout some parish grievance. Tho
bishop during the intorview tolls the
vicar how badly he (tho bishop) is
being treated, “The fact is, Mr.
Smith, many pcoplo scorn to think
I'm a perfect ass.”
Vicar, consolingly Quite so, my
lord, quite so.
