about all the time he could spare to the
exhibition
He counted $50 people who assembled

like the ladder on which a shoe clerk
hunts for your size and last among the
high boxes, and then he lost count.
There were more people on the stair

the entertainment possibilities of the

moon. Venus is an unsatisfactory star
to look at although a sight of it at short
range is worth while. Then President
Plass amused the amateur star gazers
Some of the people missed chance to
look at Venus but everyone caught a
glimpse of the moon.
AS part of the telescope is a small
instrument about three feet in length
called finder A look is taken through
this first and afterward a glimpse
through the larger instrument. The
power of the large instrument is so
great that only a small section of the
moon can be seen at a time through it
but the whole thing isSFisible through
the smaller telescope. There is no long
er any question about the moon being
round. 1t is so round that when you
look at it you are inclined to believe
that you see the inside circle of the
telescope and not the edge of the
lunar body. It's appearance is white,
perfectly so. and there is just enough
shading from the craters on its surface
to give it the aspect of the surface of a
bowl of curdled milk. The moon was
in the full last night. When it is in the
crescent it presents a more interesting
view to the observer as the volcanoes
are then more conspicuous.
Then came Saturn. Saturn is prob
ably the most interesting of the sights
of the heavens because it carries more
equipment and detail than the others
do. 1t has a ring about it which is as
plainly to be seen as the body of the
star and then there are about seven
moons, five of which could be seen last
night by looking closely. Although
powerfully magnified the whole sight
could have been covered with a dol
lar. The star appeared about the size
of a buckshot, yellow and flaming.
with the ring around it just large
enough and properly slanted that the
observer may see between it and the
star. What that ring is the astrono-
mers do not know. 1t may be dis

conclave will not take place until at
least ten days after the demise of the
pope his eminence will arrive in ample
time to participate. Outside of Ameri-
cans, Cardinal Gibbons coming excites
widespread interest as he is regarded as
the representative of the modern pro-
grsssive spirit of the United States. 1t
is recognized that one of the chief is
sues at the conclave will be between the
advocates of modern progress and the
supporters of conservative traditions.
The tragic death of Mgr. Volpino was
carefully kept from the pope through
out the day. 1t was at first feared that
it would be necessary to inform the
pontiff in order that Mgr Volpinis sue
eessor to the office secretary of the
consistorial might be nominated but ar
ter discussion by the vatican authori-
ties it was decided that the presidents
admitted of the nomination of secre-
tary without the intervention of the
pope. The chief Importance of the posi-
ton is felt at the time of a conclave, SO
that if it is considered essential to fill
Mgr. Volpini's place the cardinal cam
erlingo will designate a secretary of
consistory. This procedure will permit
of the news of Msr. Volpinis death be-
ing withheld from the pope Indefinitely
When the amelioration in the condi-
ton of the pope presented favorable
symptoms, Pope Leo decided, after Car
dinal Rampolla, to receive also all the
other cardinals living IN Rome, TO the
number of about %, as a special mark
of his qualification at the part they
took in his illness. A special notice was
sent them calling them to the vatican.
In fact Cardinals Oreglia, Gotti and
Della Volpe were received and had a
short conversation with his holiness but
soon after the dangerous condition of
the patient developed compelling DR..
Lapponi to stop the other receptions.
When a consultation was decided upon
DR.. Rossini being already in the ante
chamber, DR.. Lapponi cautiously in
formed the pope that he had thought it
better to ask the opinion and advice of
another physician in view of the phases
of the disease being so variable. He
added that nothing grave was the mat
ter, but that DR.. MazzOni and he
through conscientious scruples wished
to interrogate their colleague, DR.. Ros-
sini The pope, who by that time had
again fallen into a state of prostration
from which he had been free for SO
hours, but whose intellect remained per-
fectly lucid, understood but received the
news with calmness and serenity, say
ing that he would be glad to see DR..
ROssini The latter on entering the bed
room bowed to the pontiff, saying he
was highly honored to visit him, and
tried to encourage the sick man. The
pope answered him, but in weak voice.
