Congress Are Discussed.

Throughout World

New York.-The present status of
cancer is discussed in the Medical
Record. The comments of the writer
are based on the second international
conference for the study of cancer,
which was held recently in Paris. The
first conference was held IN Heidel-
berg and Frankfort in 1906. The
writer says.
During the interim important com
mittee work has been carried out, the
matter Of research has been organized
throughout the world, and now in this
second Meeting we are in position to
understand something Of what has
been done along the lines projected
during the last four years. The special

to conclude that the comets as class
are surviving fragments of our old

all the comet orbits are elliptical. not

What was so mysterious to Kepler
