They point to the official note in toâ€" night‘s Osservatore Romanouj, the Vatican organ, stating that on the advice of his doctor, the Pops has decided to take several days‘ abâ€" solute rest. The truth is that the Pope never succeeded in getting rid of the cold which caused a slight cough and hoarseness. Dr. Lapponi on visiting his Holiness toâ€"day found that he was â€"somewhat better, but frankly told him that he must eithâ€" er consent to cure his cold or _ he would _ run the risk of something serâ€" ious.

Just _ as he was feeling that his vision was clearing furthor, and he was convinced that he would soon see normally, Prof. Steins suddenly removed _ the apparatus, and Dr. Caze was in total «larkness. J'mr.‘ Steins‘ claim rests on the theory that manr does not see with the eye, but with ‘the brain, the eye only | sorving to receive the image which the optic nerve transmits to the seat of perception.
