MEXICAN BOUNDARY.
Treaty With England on the Sub
jcct Being Discussed.
At One Time There Was Great Popu-
lar Ciamor Against IL.

Mexico City, April l4-The senate is
debating the treaty fixing the boundary
Of this country with tho British colony
OF Belize. The treaty was negotiated be-
tween the foreign relations minister,
MIariscal. and the British minister, sir
spencer St John, and was shelved In the
senate owing to the popular clamor
against II although the treaty was in no
sense an abandonment OF Mexican terri
torial rights. There had always been
strong sentiment hore against England
for occupying what is believed 10 be Mex
ican territory, but as time has gone on 10
has been seen that 10 was sound policy 60
adjust the pending boundary dispute and
the treaty is now likely To bo ratified.
Business and financial interests favor the
o 'ttlcment OF this question definitely TO
avoid If possible trouble with England
in the future. The lower house of Con-
gress is debating a general extradition
law ON which all future extraditions shall
be based. The practice is not sufficiently
uniform at present.

FRANKLIN SOCIETY.
INTERESTING Lecture by Ralph II. Tower of
Brown University on Digestion.

At the regular meeting of the Franklin
Society last evening Mr. Ralph II. Tower
gave n lecture on digestion from purely
scientific view. He said that the first thing
for consideration was the study of engines.
which were inorganic ferments, and not Of
the nstJ &c OF -easts. These ferments are de-
posted by different glands, and their use is TO
convert or break NJ food into solubles They
are five in number. each actin- on different
classes of foods. These engines are inactive
while in their respective glands, but change
when secreted. However. their exact nature
and the reason for this change when secreted
is not yet known. Mr.. Tower explained by
the aid of the blackboard the varied ard vari-
Gus changes which food undergoes through
the aid Of these engines to be prepared for
acceptance into the constituency Of the human
body. The reason why the coating of the
stomach itself is not digested has been a very
serious study with scientists. BY the aid of
many experiments on animals they have come
TO the conclusion that because of its being
living organism il possesses resistant power
not yet explainable. Mr.. Tower stated that
the stomach alone had been found TO be not
of the absolute importance previously sup
posed. The whole stomach OF dog had been
removed. the rem aiming ends joined and the
dog had lived on for six years in good health
then on the same dog the experiment had
besn made of disconnscting the mouth en-
tirely and feeding the dog through an arti-
fetal opening, and still the dog lived on. The
renson for this result was to be found in the
fact that i'm the pancreatc iuid alone were
all the necessary elements for digestion.
The lecture, though highly scientific, was
yet clearly and pleasingly presented.
