LONDON “PEA SOUP.”
Mists and 'Fogs So Thick That Thsy
Turn Day Into Night.
London and Londoners have been the
butt of many a good joke, but perhaps
the oldest subject of the humorist is
the Loudon fog The mist, which is
commonly called “pea soup." dates
back to the seventeenth century. There
are records us far buck as that which
indicate that the city, suffered even in
those days from mists as Intense as
nny of those of today.
In November. HI! ID. John Evelyn
made a note in his diary to the effect
that there was "so thick n mist and
fog that people lost their way in the
streets, it being so intense that no
light of candle or torches yielded any
direction. Robberies are committed
between the very lights which are fix¬
ed between London and Kensington on
both sides and while coaches and pas¬
sengers were passing. It began about
4 in the afternoon and was gone by
night. At the Thames they beat
drums to direct the watermen to make
the shore."
Visitors to London In those days
were In the habit of making fun of
the fog just as the visitors of today.
Condomara. Spanish ambassador in
Queen Elizabeth's time, said to a friend
who was returning to Spain. “My com¬
pliments to the sun. whom I have not
seen since 1 came to England."
In Elizabeth's time the burning of
coni was prohibited while parliament
was In session. So dense were the
fogs during the years of 1813 and 1814
that when the prince regent tried to
make his way to Hntfleld. the home of
Lord Salisbury, he could not find his
way and was compelled to forego the
trip and return to Carltou House,
which lie reached after a succession of
accidents.—New York Sun.
A WIZARD IN MEMORY.
Scott Could Retain In His Mind Any¬
thing He Heard Once.
To his rare good fellowship and his
powers of endurance Scott added one
other quality, without which his vigor¬
ous search for literary material might
have been of little use—namely, a most
extraordinary memory, which enabled
him to retain what be beard and use it
many years afterward. James Hogg,
the eccentric Kttrlck Shepherd, gives a
fine instance of this power One night
Scott, with his friends Hogg and
Skene, was out on a fishing expedition.
"While we three sat down on the
brink of a river," says Hogg, "Scott
desired me to sing them my ballad of
Gilman's Clough.’ Now be It remem¬
bered that this ballad had never been
printed. 1 had merely composed it by
rote and on finishing it three years be¬
fore bad sung it over once to Sir Wal¬
ter, 1 began it at his request, but at
the eighth or ninth stanza 1 stuck in it
and could not get on with another
verse, on which he began it again and
recited it every word from beginning
to end
“It being a very long ballad, consist¬
ing of eighty-eight stanzas I testified
my astonishment, knowing that he had
never-heard it hut once and even then
did not appear to be paying particular
attention. He said he had been out
with a pleasure party as far as the
opening of the Firth of Forth and to
amuse the company he had recited
that ballad and one of Southey's cThe
Abbot of Alierhrotbok’i. both of which
ballads he had heard only once from
their respective authors, and he be¬
lieved he recited them both without
misplacing a word.”—From Charles s.

AND SMELL
Closely Allied, They Are the Most
Elusive of the Senses.
RIDDLE OF FLAVOR AND ODOR.
Smell Has Been Termed ‘‘Taste at a
Distance,” and the Way In Which
Anything Is Appreciated by the Cells
of Taste and Smell Is Exactly Alike.
We think we know all about tasting
and smelling, but these are the most
elusive senses and so closely allied that
they have been called the "wedded
senses." If yon wish to be convinced
of the closeness of their connection
notice the next time you have a severe
cold In the head and ascertain bow
little taste you get from your food,
even though it be the most “tasty.”
In fact, flavor and tglor are great
puzzles to all of the physical investiga¬
tors. The preponderance of evidence
points to the suggestion that all taste
and odor are brought about by chemical
changes In tiie ends of the nerves hav¬
ing to do with these sensations. Smell
has been termed “taste at a distance,”
and the way in which anything is ap¬
preciated by the cells -of taste and
smell is precisely alike.
The infinitely small particle that
reaches the nose must first he dissolv¬
ed In the mucous covering of tlie olfac¬
tory bulb before its odor can be caught
and transferred to the end of the ol¬
factory nerve. The same is the case
with tho thing that Is to be tasted.
It, too, is dissolved in the Juices of
the mouth and then makes its way to
some one or more of the taste cells,
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 ourselves
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. The
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
to the underlying nerve of taste.
Then there are the fungiform capil
lae. looking like little mushrooms
(whence the nauiei. with taste buds of
their own. and there are also the cir
cumvitllate papillae, only seven or ten
In number, lying toward the back of
the tyngue, forming a V. with the apex
pointing toward the throat. These are
little mounds with moats around them
and 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
can be washed down quickly by a gulp
of water, leaving no taste in the
month
The taste bulbs have been carefully
measured, and it is found that they
are 1-300 of an inch long and 1-800 of
an Inch broad, oval in shape, some¬
thing like a small Florence flask. The
proof that tasting is a chemical proc¬
ess lies in tlie fact that anything that
Is to be tasted must be soluble, for
the unchewed food or hard coated pill
Is not tasted. Tastes have been classi¬
fied as sweet, bitter, acid and saline,
and experiment has shown that we
taste salty foods most rapidly—in .17
of a second—and that sweet acid and
bitter take longer, the last requiring
2fi c of n second for perception.
Another peculiarity of taste is that
after .. very strong taste of any kind
we cannot so easily distinguish slight¬
er flavors. The nerve energy has been
exhausted for a time, and only after
a little does it return. If you have
eaten sweets for dessert you must
drink some water to clear the mouth
of the sweet taste or your coffee will
taste very hitter, no matter how much
sugar you put Into It. The profes
sional ten taster knows that the gusta
tory nerve becomes exhausted, for aft
er a series of tastings he stops to give
his nerve of taste an opportunity to re
turn to Its normal condition.
In taste and smell alike all individ
uals differ. The same food docs 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 his sense of smell or taste
perceives finer distinctions than the
person who has given little attention
to these special senses and their de
velopment. Arguments are of no avail
as was recognized in the popular and
ancient proverb. “There is no disput
iug about tastes.” There is no sclen
tlfic explanation of the fact that one
person likes onions and another abhors
them. Some persons are fond of
olives only after they have cultivated
the taste. The only suggestion of an
explanation is that in some persons
the chemical changes brought about
! by onions or olives are pleasing, wldle
In others they are offensive It is the
gustatory nerve that tells the tale, but
little Is understood about it-New
