Upon the suggestion OF President Os-
born Of the American Museum of Nat
ural History and President Huntington
of the American Geographical Society.
President Remsen of Johns Hopkins,
who is also head of the National Acad-
envy of Sciences, wrote both Command
er Peary and DR.. Cook that the academy
would be pleased to judge of sny data
concerning their polar explorations that
they desired to submit. This invita-
ton was at once accepted by Peary,
but was declined by Cook on the
ground that he had promised to sub
nit his data first to the University OF
Copenhagen, after which they would be
open to all the scientific societies of
the world. About the same time the
National Geographic Society of WASH
ington invited both Peary and Cook to
submit their data to a scientific COM
mission. 1t decided TO print the rec
ords of both explorers. While in Wash
ington last Sunday Dr.. Cook announc-
ed that he was willing to submit his
data to the American scientific men
simultaneously with that of the DAN
ish University, provided that the find
ings should be made public at the
same time. DR.. Cook was accorded a
most enthusiastic and official recep-
ton in Washington. where he deliver
ed lecture, the district commissioners
taking part in the welcome extended
Similarly cordial receptions were given
to DR.. Cook at Pittsburg and Balti-
more. The Peary Arctic Club read
Peary's official statement and voted its
confidence in his report of the discov-
cry of the North Pole

PRISON TWINE SHOP TO CLOSER

Trust Deal May Cut OF supply of
Raw Material.
Governor Marshall and the State
Prison Board have been in consulta-
ton, and it is admitted that the State
may have to abandon its binder Irvine
plant at the Michigan City prison.
The difficulty of obtaining raw ma
terial with which to operate the plant
makes its future uncertain, according
to Governor Marshall There is about
one million pounds of sisal in the.
warehouses of the plant out of which
to manufacture Irvine, but fear is ex-
pressed by members of the board and
the Governor that when that supply is
exhausted it will be impossible to pur-
chase raw material to enable the plant
to continue to compete with the trust
made Irvine. The board bases its fear
on report that the international Har-
vester Company has closed a deal with
the authorities in Yucatan by which
the authorities have agreed to hold
up the price Of the raw material to
prison plants and to independent es-
adjustments. If this condition comes
about, as the board and the Governor
expect it to, there will be nothing to
do except to close the plant.

A very old man once called to see
planned as the reason of his visit that
he was the cabman who drove him to
his ship when he set sail for Canada
long years before.
Lord Strathcona was interested in
this Renaissance of his youth and lis
tened to the ancient jehu when he
went on in a fearful voice to complain
that death had just deprived him Of
one of two grandsons and that he
himself had fallen on evil times.
Lord Strathcona soothed the old fell
lows sorrows with little money.
Again, after a time, the old man
called on Lord Strathcona and this
time told him that both his grandsons
were down with typhoid fever and, as
Lord Strathcona had helped him be-
fore, perhaps he would again. After
some gossiping chat about Scotland
Lord Strathcona again comforted the
old man with little money.
When he had gone an official who
had overheard the conversation said:
81 hope you aid not give that man
any money, Lord Strathcona. When
he saw you before one of his two
grandsons was dead. Now he says
both are i'll with typhoid fever"
Thank you very much, Mr.. JONES'

twinkle in his eye. "but do you know

UNCLE SAM WARS ON THE RAT.
"Worst Mammal Pest" Blamed for
The Loss of Millions


Rat clubs and other societies for
systematic warfare on destructive ro-
dents may leap into popular nvor
among housekeepers, now that the
government has officially sanctioned
this method of determination OF the
worst mammal pest in the United
States. The. rat has been recognized
by the government as problem. Its
activity in disseminating infectious
diseases has long doomed up as dan
ger signal to the health authorities,
and losses from its depredations run
into many million dollars a year. ac-
cording to an Official statement just
issued by the Department of Agricul-
ture
DR.. David E. Lantz of the bureau Of
biological survey has taken vigorous
hold of the question, and thus he pro-
ceeds to throw bomb into the camp
of believers in the cat as a rat de-
stroyer However valuable cats may
be as mousers, few of them learn TO
catch rats. The ordinary house cat
is too well fed and consequently too
lazy to undertake the capture of an
animal as formidable as the brown
rat"
The department in a bulletin en-
phasizes the Importance OF rat clubs
and suggests tina. interest in organ
lied rat hunts may be stimulated by
offering prizes or rewards in various
communities to the individual hauling
forth the greatest number of dead rats
after one of the crusades.
Pamphlets dealing with the rodent
problem and suggestive of ways in
which the rat may be eventually rout-

lagos all over the United States, and

EGGS AS POISONS.
Some Persons Always Affected and
Others Only Occasionally.

Some Persons Always Affected and
Others Only Occasionally.
Instances of egg poisoning appear
from time to time in periodical liter
allure and the subject is referred to in
some, but by no means all, works on
dietetics.
While cases of acute poisoning are
rare, writes a physician in the Medical
Record, some susceptibility as regards
eggs is not SO very uncommon. Peo-
pie constantly assert that eggs make
them bilious and, while in some this
is often imaginary, in others the con-
dition actually exists.
This is notably true of infants and
young children. Not only do many in
fants and young children digest eggs
with difficulty, especially when first
eaten, but many more are made Ill If
this particular food is partaken of too
freely or, in the case of older children,
if the egg diet is kept up too continu-
Ousiys
The inability of young children to
digest eggs is probably in line with
the well-recognized fact that the in
fant's stomach or digestive juices must
be taught to digest most dietary arti-
cles other than the maternal milk.
Cows milk, for instance, Is verita-
BILE poison to some infants, while many
a newly born requires some practice
and education before it can thoroughly
digest even mothers milk.
Individual susceptibility as regards
eggs is extremely variable; In some
persons eggs always act as poisons,
while in others the toxic influence
may be marked at one time and at an
other much diminished or entirely
wanting, especially when the subject
is In sound condition.
The susceptibility may be observed
in eggs of every degree of freshness,
and in some cases only with the eggs
of certain birds. Changes in eggs may
also be brought about by methods Of
cooking; for while some persons mani
fest their susceptibility only when the
egg is raw, others are poisoned when
it is cooked or prepared in some unu-
sual and unaccustomed manner.
In most of the reported cases the
white of the egg appears to have been
the offending element. The symptoms
of egg poisoning differ greatly in de-
gree; in some cases only nausea and
headache occur; in others the most vi
client symptoms, suggestive of irritant
poisoning, are observed.
Sometimes, when the use of eggs Is
long continued, they give rise to the
symptom group which we call bilious
ness, which after all is but form OF
auto-intoxication, due possibly to the
presence Of some alkaloid in the blood.
The symptoms Of egg poisoning are es-
sentially those of so-called ptomaine
| poisoning.
1t is true that the ea, giving rise
toxic phenomena are In most instances
apparently fresh when eaten, but when
We recall that the porous shell of the
| egg will admit the heterogeneous
that cause the egg to rot, as well as
various strong odors. it Is easy to COM
prehend that an egg may appear fresh
and yet contain bacteria that in sus-
ceptible persons. and in certain con
ditions OF digestion, may produce
changes which may cause toxic symp-
toms.
