jflSTE AND SMELL
Closely Allied, They Are the Most
Elusive of the Senses.
RIDDLE OF FLAVOR AND ODOR.
• msll Has Bsen Tsrmsd "Taste *t a
Diatanca,” and th* Way In Which
j Anything la Appraciated by the Celia
of Taste and Smell It Exactly Alike.
We think we know all about tasting
and smelling, but these are the most
•lusive senses and so closely allied that
they hav* been called the “wedded
senses.” If you wish to be convinced
of the closeness of their connection
notice the next time you have a severe
cold In the head and ascertain how
little taste you get from your food
even though It be the most “tasty.”
In fact, flavor and odor are great
puzzles to all of the physical investiga¬
tor*. Th# preponderance of evidence
points to the suggestion that all taste
and odor are brought about by chemical
changes in the ends of the nerves hav
lug to do with theae sensations. Smell
has been termed “taste at a distance,’
and the way In which anything ia ap
predated by the cells of taste and
smell is precisely alike.
The infinitely small particle that
reaches the nose must first be dlssolv
ed In the mucous covering of the olfac
tory bulb before its odor can be caught
and transferred to the end of the ol¬
factory nerve. The same i* th* caae
with the tiling that la to be tasted
It, too. Is dissolved in the Juke# of
the mouth and then makes Us way t*
Borne one or more of th# taste cell*,
when the chemical change takes place
which sets up a sensation in the gus¬
tatory nerve, and we really taste the
substance and announce to ourselvee
or others how it tastes.
Most persons think that as the tongue
Is the chief organ .of taste you could
taste anything placed anywhere on the
tongue. But this is far from being
true There are three chief kinds of
papillae of taste on the tongue, and
anything touching it on these papillae
Is tasted, but if it touches any spot be¬
tween these it is not tasted at all. Th*
filiform papillae are at the tip of the
tongue and at the sides, and each one
contains special taste “buds,” which
dissolve something of the substance
put on them and transfer the sensation
lo tlie underlying nerve of taste.
Then there are the fungiform capil
hie. looking like little mushroom*
(whence the name*, with taste buds of
their own, and there are also the cir
cuiuvallate papillae, only seven or ten
tn number, lying toward the back of
the tongue, forming a V. with the apex
pointing toward the throat. These ar*
little mounds with moats around them
»nd taste buds lying in the moats to
catch whatever particles of food may
reach thus far sufficiently dissolved
to be tasted.
The middle of the tongue and the
hard palate have no taste at all, and
this is the reason that If we are to
take a bitter powder and it Is carefully
placed at the center of the tongue it
mu be washed down quickly by a gulp
of water, leaving no tast* in the
XBOUth.
The taste bulbs have been carefully
measured, and it Is found that they
are 1-300 of an Inch long and 1-800 ot
au inch broad, oval in shape, some¬
thing like a small Florence flask. The
proof that tasting is a chemical proc¬
ess Ilea in the fact that anything that
Is to be tasted must be soluble, for
the uuchewed food or hard coated pill
la not tasted. Tastes have been classi¬
fied as aweet. bitter, acid and Mils*,
and experiment has shown that w*
test* aalty foods most rapidly—in .17
of a second—and thatAiweet acid and
bitter take louger, the last requiring
.258 of a second for perception.
Another peculiarity of taste i* that
after a very strong taste of any kind
w# cannot so easily distinguish slight¬
er flavor*. The nerve euergy has been
exhausted for a time, and only after
a little does it return. If you have
•a ten a wests for dessert you must
drink some water to clear the mouth
of the sweet taste or your coffee will
taste very bitter, no matter how much
sugar you put into it- The profes¬
sional tea taster knows that the gusta¬
tory uerva becomes exhausted, for att¬
ar a series of tastings be stop* to give
his nerve of taate an opportunity to re¬
turn to it# normal condition.
In taste and smell alike all individ¬
uals differ. The same food doe# not
taste precisely the same to any two in¬
dividuals, any more than the same per¬
fume smells the same. There is a gen¬
eral resemblance, but the expert who
has trained bis sense of smell or taste
perceives finer distinctions than the
person who has given little attention
to these special senses and their de
velopinent. Arguments are of bo avail,
as was recognized In the popular and
ancient proverb. "There is no disput¬
ing about tastes ” There la no *cle#
title explanation of the fact that on*
person likes onions and another abhors
them. Some persons are fond of
olive# only after they hav# cultivated
the taste The only suggestion of an
explanation is that in some persons
the rhemical changes brought about
by onions or olives are pleasing, while
in others they are offensive It is the
gustatory nerve that tells the tale, but
little Is understood about it.—New
