EGGS SOMETIMES POISONOUS.

Under some conditions eggs are pois-
onous.
These statements are made by LII
luStration, of Paris:
Eggs are poisonous when injected
beneath the skin, and no one thinks
Of applying them in that way. It is
the yoIk chiefly that is poisonous. The
poison varies according to the species
that provided the egg. The ducks egg
kills the rabbit in a dose of eight cubic
centimeters; that Of the hen kills only
in larger dose. By way of compen-
Sation, the turtles egg is more noxious
than that of the duck; il kills in a dose
OF nVe or six cubic centimeters. There
fore the turtle is more poisonous than
the duck, and this last Is more so than
the hen Rabbits poisoned by the yolk
of an egg injected under the skin or
into cavity Of the body die with the
symptoms of an acute intoXication OF
the central nervous system. The white
also of the turtles egg Is very poison

The Making of Treaties.

The gentlemen from Wisconsin and
Georgia, Senators Spooner and Bacon,
have warred in words on many oc-
casions over the meaning of that
clause of the Constitution that de-
clares the President shall make
treaties with foreign governments,
''by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate" II is Senator Spoon
er's contention that the function of
the Senate follows the preparation
and negotiation of the treaty, while
Senator Bacon's theory is that the
advice and consent" must enter, If
the Constitution be observed, into the
very making of the compact
The academic question involved is
an interesting one, which constitu-
tional lawyers may be left, in safety,
to solve. 1t is worthy of note, how
ever, that the present head of the
Department of State, in the practical
discharge of the duties of his Office
has seemed rather to side with Sen
ator Bacon than with his Republi-
can colleague
Soon after Secretary Root last ac-
cepted Office the question of tariff
and trade relations with Germany
became acute. Germany had threat
ened completely to suspend the exist
ing tariff conventions and there was
widespread apprehension that the
commerce of this country would suf-
fer largely. The newspapers and the
public mind were filled with ominous
fear. All eyes were turned to the
Department of State Everybody
wished to know what the Secretary
would do.
There was no long delay. Secre
tary Root permitted it to become
known that, until he had consulted
with some of the Senate leaders anC
gained some idea of the kind OF
treaty the Senate would ratify, h,
would do just nothing at all. He ex
pressed contempt for the practice o.
making treaties, which it is known il
