POISONING OF ANIMAL s.
The Tiger and Wolf Hard to Over. come--TAe Lion Falls an
 Easy Victim

Wolves. tigers. leoparGs and oiser farniyora are difficult to poison be- cause of the power which they have of | rapidly getting rid of the drug Lions. on the other hand, says Nature. are Very frequently poisoned. as they eat Noraeiously and quickly, more like q dog than the other large felidaa. It is said that good many lion skins. es- l peciaiiy those brought back by foreign counts and others from Somaliland be- lore the regrettable misunderstanding between whites and blacks had begun Tn that region famous for large game, were obtained by the unsportsmanlike method of poisoning carcasses and leaving them Cor the lions to devour Cattle, which have no less than four stomaehs, are hopelessly poisoned if once they have swallowed d dose, whether in toxic plant or otherwise. It is thus curious arrangement of their interiors which makes it such a diffi- cult matter to give cattle medicine at al.
 In common with human b5ines, ani- mals seem to be affected by poison in certain forms when in d particular condition of health AL other .imej they can eat the same plant or shrub with impunity. In certain states of health man can eat pork. iobsters, cookies, scaIlops and other somewhat risky foods without bad effects. At other times the same edibles would produce en him the effect of ptomain poisoning. Two erSons may eat of the same food at the same time. and while one is perfectly well afterw.d the other may become violently ill
 The curious cases of yeW-p poisoning among cattle or horses seem to b. somewhat analogous They will some times browse on shoots of yew and take no harm whatever. At other times they are obviously made very il, or die from eating the lea.es They have been found dead with the yew fresh and undigested in their sto- maehs.
 Where poisonous plants are present in any great numbers in herbase 1t seems quite impossible to prevent cat tie from eating them
 Birds seem to have no discrimina- tion whatever in regard to poisons, probably because they have almost no sense Of smell and swallow their feod without masticating it. Such intelii- gent birds as rocks Will pick up and eat poisoned grain, and crows and ravens readily eat poisoned eggs or meat.
 Chickens will eat the poisonous seeds Of the laburnum and die from the effects. Whether birds such as tits and greenfnches ever do so does not seem to be known. But wild birds are frequently found dying in gardens though apparently they have been in good health a few hours before. and their death may probably be due to the consumption of poisonous seeds.

Dr YorkeDayies tells this story: Many years ago when a great English contractor had to lay down a long line Of railway in France he employed num- Der of English and of French nayvies He found that the Frenchman could dc only half the work of the Englishmen and being a shrewd man he concluded il must be due to the difference in their food so he then put the Frenchmen on the same diet as the Englishmen. with the result that they were able to do a much work as the Englishmen.
