Death occurred through exhaus-

Pope Leo made a supreme effort to
gather together all his energies. He
succeeded in recognizing those about
him by the sound of their voices, as
his sight was almost entirely lost.
Still, he made a marvellous display
of his energy, and even his death
was really grand. 1t was resigned,
calm and serene. Very few exam
pies can be given of man of such
advanced age after so exhaustive an
illness showing such supreme courage
in dying The pontiff's last breath
was taken at exactly four minutes past
four l approached a lighted candle
to his mouth three times, according
to the traditional ceremonial, and af-
