A. Fe?ssi words abort Comets.
It is needless to dwell here Upon the
The Habits of the Pope.
r
The- Pope is pretty- tall and stout,
without being ohtese. The furniture of.
'his private room is a square table, with
two chairs, and , an armchair for -him-
self. The ion is very small, with a
low ceiling, .lid- curtains, and the walls
covered with paper of the' cheapest sort.
Those of the grand oth.ciai. saloons are
covered with silk. His : bedroom has
yellow curtains, no carpets, and a brick
floor, with a little bedstead of iron. with-
out curtains. He is very neat in his
person ;. his hands, -which. are half co-
vexed with white mittens, are+ particu-
larly.• attended to He rises at six
o'clock, shaves himself, and says his
mass in a little private chapel; and then
hears another. Ali 8 .o'clock he takes
a small cup - of chocolate, and alt 8; .
o'clock receives the Ministers. Cardi-
nal Antonelli comes ejvery day to the
Vatican, and when prevented from do-
ing so, the Under 'Secretary of State,
*Monsignor Marirti, takes his place. They
other days of the week the other functi-
-onaiies' in their turn transact bt.sines_s
with flim; . At 10- the Ministers with-
draw. The . audiences then begin 'and
ai.e not over `tiiI' one -o'clock. At two
o'clock the. Pope dines in his private
apartments. " Hi4 repast is one of the
modest kind,and it always ends with a
sweetmeat, of which all Italians are
fond. From 2i o'clock till 3 he takes
his siesta, ani" • at 3 o'clock he reads his
breviary, and at 5 o'clock he goes out
for a drive ina carriage withfour horses,.
accornpsnied only by two young priests.
If the weather permits be alights and
walks in the 'most retired parts of the
city ; nevertheless he is .foliowed by
upwards of two thousand persons who
walk afier •him in 'silence. When it
reins his • Holiness proceeds to the.,
etlaa'ies of the Vatican when the visi-
tors have retired. }Ie is a great lover
of antiquities, as proved ' by the re
seiu-ches and restorations he is contin u-
aIly making. On his'-rettnrn home, at
ii o'clock the audience recommeneei,-
and. lasts till 10 at night, when he " res
tires to sup. He goes to bed at 11, and
tie next clay he goes throngh the same
routine. Though advanced in; years
he sings very well and «ghat is quite\
unknown, even to mazy Romans, plays
well on tile violincello. When I . was
received with t my companion,':. the
chambeilain plucked me by the sleeve
to make me kneel. The Pope ' percei-
ving the movement, spared :cis the genu-
flection, and made us approach the table
at which he was sitting, "So then,"
liis Holiness said, "yott are two journal-
ists, friends, going together,, to Naples?".
He spoke about Naples and asked us
how we liked Rome, adding that people_
found themselves. very free during their
stay. Ile then took two photographic
likenesses of himself, one foi Path of us,
and, with a sly smile, said, "-I am 'goiu e
to write something for the joarnalists,'-
and in a firm hand traced these words
°'Diiigite veritattern, filiam Dei."
Atter which he held out hi:;handtous.
His affability is extreme. He speaks
French with as much ease. as. Rossini,
and the impression he produced on me A witty. but somewhat irreverent

However, everything goes to prove that
these comets are. huge imposters-- head
and tail atike—and are the most $a
pory windy bodies conceivable; so mile(
so t:at it is no exaggeration to say-
that
ay
that the tail; with all its millions and
,billions• of miles, might, if Properly
packed lip and stowed away, travel by
a continental passenger train, and eo.t
nothing in the way of extra luggage.
This has been longi known, and .Sir
John Herschel sees no dithculty in con-
ceiving that the tail of a great comet,
as, tor instance, that of 1870, with. its
twenty million of leagues, night v eigh
only a few pounds, or even ounces.
This tenuity of constitution is proved
in many ways; partly by the disturb-
ances and deviat.ons caused in a com-
et's motion by the approach of any oth-
er U pdy ; and partly again by the fact
at stars have been seen to shine with
u diminished lustre alike through their
h ads and tails -stars which would be
u terly obscured by a few feet of ordin-
ally terrestial mist. But, granting any
amountof tenuity, it is hard to con—
ceive such an extended mass whirled
half round in two hours, and retaining
its continuity.. Sir • John Herschel,
therefore, ventured upon a conception
involing a total absence 'or matter al-
together, suggesting the hyoothsis of a
negative shadow ; and an oigival think-
er oh the comet of 1858," annbuitced
the discovery in the papers, that com-
ets Were worlds on fire, most probably
stffering the punishment of their wick
edness, acrd that the light proceeding
from the conflagration was invisible
where the sun's rays penett ated, but
was seen in the shadow cast by the
head thus producing the tail—an idea
involving, among others absurdities,
the necesiity of all the planets appear-
ing with black tails behind them.—

.Pain.less Surgery:
The British Medical Association has
commenced its annual ;Session in Leeds.
In the -section on 6urgery a very" curi-
ous and interesting practical application
of a physiological fact has 'peen exhibit-
ed by Dr. B. W. •Richardson, F. F. S.
It has long been known to surgeons
that an injury very rapidly inflicted is
not attended by suffering, and on this.
principle Dr. Richardson has construct-
edwhat he calls a " pa;nless knife." It
consists of a keen circular blade, so
connected with watchwork in the han-
dle that it can be made to revolve with
very great rapidity. It is found that
when a. speed of 25 complete revoluti-
ons in. a second has been ootained the
edge of the knife may he applied to the
animal body, and that it will divide the
soft parts' without pain or even consci�•
ousness. The lower animals are often
used to display what can be done on
man ; and Dr. Richardson was able to
;cat the ears : off a rabbit into stripes
while the creature was contentedly
munching green stuff, in eetir6 ignor-
ance -of the way in which, _ it
Was being injured.. , Unfortunately the
knife the ohly one of. its kind at Pres=
ent existing, was accidently broken by
some one to whom it was handed for
inspection ; and thus the • experiments
with it were bi ought to ta permanent
conclusion,' • The accident, of . course,
will in no way interfere with further
inquiry into the subject ; and there are
so many cases in which a patient
shrinks „from the pain of a single un-
necessary incision, and yet Hardly likes
to take chloroform for' a proceeding
so momentary, that We may reasonably
,expect mvny valuable applications of
Dr. Richar4lson's most ingenious con-
trivance. , He 'has already been a bene-
fa;tor to mankind in- many ways, and
most conspicuously in what lie has ac-
complished for the alleviation -of paia
