A cold -coin -feels heavier than one that has been slight- ly warmed by being carried in the. a pocket. and what is ti'ue..here of touch is just as true of taste. Warm vinegar, warm sugar. warm solutions of salt taste less sour. sweet or salty than. when cold. It you put asllghtjsolution of salt or quinine into a. sugar solution of a certain sweetness. the. sweetness will seem much greater. Cooks and confectioners are well aware of this ; fact. for they always add to sweet con- i tections some bitter substance. just as 1 the perfumers put into perfumes of ` all kinds at least a little musk. ` 4 ---. .----\-up w-u - -aw -- -- vcwr ----..u The cook_ tries to lift or t1ll" the taste. as they say. just as the perfumer tries to do with the sense` of smell. and as In acoustics the bass. drum or bass viol forms a kind of background for the tone of coloring. On the other hand. If a mixture is made toosweet. without any contrasting elements, the quality of sweetness is lost. some- thing like Milton's darkness from ex- cess of light. The elfect of `cold in. reducing the intensity of sweetness is well known to any one who has manu- factured ice cream at home.
