ALEXA n DER VOLTA
A DEvOUT CATHOLIC SCIENTIST
A PIONEER IN ELECTRICITY.
His Profession of Faith.

Alexander Volta was born at Como
in the Milanese territory, on February
10, 1745, and died at Como, March 5,
1926.
Volta's contributions to the science
of electricity are of immense import
ance, the chief of them being his the
DRY, in opposition to the animal cleo
tricity' doctrine of Galvani, that the
electric power resides in the metals.
He also invented an electric battery,
consisting of series of cups contain
ing saline solution in which were
immersed edgewise two plates, one of
zinc, the other of silver, the zinc plate
This battery was soon after suppressed
ed by his celebrated voltaic pile
Among his other inventions were the
electrophore, the electric condenser,
the hydrogen lamp and the electrical
pistol.
His tomb at Camnego was deco
rated with floral tributes by the dele
gates to the International Convention
of Telegraphers which met in Italy not
long ago; and many addresses, eulo-
CYSTIC of the life and 1abors of this
great scientist were listened to with
enthusiasm by all. 1t is reported that
the Italian government is considering
the advisability of making his tomb a
national monument project to
which the family of Volta strongly
object
The illustrious scientist was pro-
foundry religious and Catholic. Among
the documents which remained after
him is one in which he outlines his
profession of faith. It is a beautiful
tribute to Catholic belief from noble
mind. I'm it he says, 81 have always
held, and still hold, that the only true
and infallible religion is the holy Cath
Ollie religion, and constantly thank
God for having granted me the grace
of that faith. have never neglected
any means, even human ones, which
might confirm me still more I'm that
faith and which, might help me to
tdispel any doubt that might arise TO
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-11-25

course, each grave in Catholic
burying ground is blessed before the
remains of Catholics are inferred.
Can you tell me where a poor man
between the age of sixty-five and
seventy can find home?
In the Twin Cities there are two
Homes for the Aged Poor, where men
and women over sixty years of age
and without means of support are
given a home. These institutions are
in charge of the Little Sisters of the
Poor The one in st. Paul is located
at 80 Wilkin Street; and the one in
Minneapolis at 215 Broadway Street,
N. e. If you appeal to the Sisters at
either of these addresses your request
for admittance will not be refused if
they have accommodations, and you
will have all the attention given you
that can be reasonably expected.
1. What definite views has the
Church on mourning for dead rel
atives? 2. How long is one supposed
to mourn for his brother-in-law?
l. 1t is natural for us to mourn for
our dead relatives, and the closer the
ties of kindred the greater the sorrow
we feel. The Church does not con-
denim this natural manifestation of
human feeling; but she soothes the
poignancy of our grief by teaching us
that those who Idle in the Lord" are
entitled to eternal happiness. Religion,
therefore, teaches us to mourn for our
relatives, it is true, but not as those
without hope. 1t consoles us in our
grief by placing before us the eternally
happy conditions of those who have
served God faithfully on earth as we
like to believe our dead relatives
served him. 2. The Church does not
tell us how long We are to mourn for
our relatives or friends. That is de-
termined largely by the extent of our
affection for them. Custom and
social etiquette requires certain
length of time for the external mani
festations of sorrow, and, provided
these are reasonable, we may conform
to them.
