DELIGHT OF THE POPE.

The Pope has not expressed himself
for publica ton. but it is reported that
his face shone with delight when the
airmen entered in that inspiring fashion
the city by the Tiber.
In May. 1909, just 800 years before,
Calico, after profound meditation on the
principles Of refraction, succeeded In
producing a telescope Of threefOld mag
nifying power. lie rapidly improved
upon this until he attained to a power
of thirty-two. and mis- instruments were
soon in request in every part OF Europe.
He was appointed philosopher and
mathematician extraordinary to the
Grand Dukc of Tuscany. He found the
spots on the sun. lie visited Rome and
exhibited in the gardens of the Ouirinal
Palace the telescope wonders OF the
heavens TO the most eminent persons at
the Pontifical court.
The court saw in his scientific teach
ings Danger TO religion. His impudent
ardor at the Pontifical court served only
to injurc his cause. He was condemned
to Incarceration at the pleasure of the
tribunal. and by way OF penance was
! onjoined to recite once a week. for three
years. the seven renitential psalms,
being seventy years old at the time The
sentence MAS signed by seven cardinals.
And it is reported that the Pope's face
i shone with delight while viewing the
pretty flights of the aviatcrs through a
Calico telescope. What might have been
the punishment accorded an aviator in
Galleo's time?
Would the aviator been burned in
