In other respects, the tomb will resemble that of Innocent III, consisting of sarcophagus with a bas relief, two inches, two statues and two medallions.
 If there are real martyrs at the Vatican they are Drs. Lapponi and Mazzoni, who are inundated with letters and telegrams from the four quarters of the earth, i'm ploring them to save the illustrious pa- tient who is so necessary to the church and the world.
 Unknown names rub elbows with those of worldwide celebrities. some of the senders asking for telegraphic news two or three times day. A corps of pri- vate secretaries and large fortune would be required to answer them all. It does not even end there, for admirers and wor- shipers of Pope Leo are sending remedies which they say are sure to save the Pontiff's life An American has sent what he described as an extraordinary nutri- tive liquid, which will restore the dying to health. A South American has sent hemorrhoidal ungent In a rich flask. Be- sides these there are prescriptions from druggists and offers to embalm the Pom tiff Others offer to make a death mask;
 
 Leo, and one writer even offers to im- part the secret of petrifying the body into an everlasting statue, to be offered to the Pope's nephews.
 A new phase of the historic strife be- tween the noble families of Colonna and Orsini has been developed by the illness of the Pope. Hoping to reconcile this ancient family hostility, 1t has been the practice to designate the head If each house as a prince and assistant to the pontihcal throne, these positions ing the highest lay honors Tn the gift of ie Pope. In the case of coronation of a new Pom tiff the princes stand on either side of His Holiness. The head of the Colonna fam fly, Don Marco Antonio Colonna. was among the visitors at the Vatican today. but the Urisini family is temporarily un- represented in this high dignity. Don Fillppo Orsini having resigned in favor of his son. Don Domenico. Prince of Sole fra, and the latters nomination having not yet been confirmed by Pope Leo. The Orsinis are thus without representation, and this circumstance constitutes an in- teresting historical curiosity.

Health Office, report on the results of prolonged experiments of the tuberculosis commission in injecting calves with human tuberculosis. Professor Koch's observations, prior to the celebrated Lon- don address, caused the health officer to appoint the commission to make syste- matic experiments. Yesterdays paper was in the nature of preliminary re- port. The commissions investigations cover three forms of introducing tubercle baccili in caives-first, sub-cutaneous in- jection; second, in food; and thirdly, by inhalation. The preliminary report covers only the first form. but the ex- periments with the other forms continue.
 The commission attempted the inocula- ton of calves, not with matter taken directly from human victims, but with cultures made therefrom. The experi- ment covered thirty-nine separate cult ures. twer.y-three from adults and six ten from children. The results were that nineteen calves subcutaneously treated did not show the slightest effect, slightest changes of condition and seven showed marked symptoms, but the pro- pagation of tuberculosis in the body did not occur. On the other hand. four in- oculations from tuberculosis children in- fected calves with disease which resem- bled a weak type of animal consumption, and two of this number died from tuber- culosis.
 The commission summarizes as fol- lows:
 The series of experiments strengthens Professor Koch's view that animal con- sumption as the cause of human con- sumption. does not play the role gener- ally attributed to 1t; but definitive judg- ment requires further experimentation"
 In the discussion which followed, Pro- lessor Orth, the late Professor Virchow's successor, Strongly combatted the view that human and animal consumption were dissimilar and non-transferrabie.
