Rome, July 10. -Anti-vivisectionists
have seized upon a letter written by
Pope Plus to Aide Benefit, parish
priest Of Terrais who has been expert
menting with live swallows,
Father Benefit has invented an aero
plane with adjustable wings, identical
to those OF swallows, In explaining
principle Of his discovery, Father Ben
ETH said he had studied the flight OF
swallows, and admitted having cut the
wings off several live swallows and fit
ed them with mechanical wings with
whichthey flew. The priest added that the
birds were martyrs to science. He said
he had to test his invention, and had
not the money to build models and was
therefore bound to use the birds.
Pope Plus instructed the Bishop OF
Spoleto to warn the priest that further
experiments with live birds would lead
to severe discipline. At the same time
he sent the priest money to enable
him to build models, explaining that he
wished to encourage aviation, providing
animals were not tortured.
