Restrictions on Jews and a Nun's Death
A collection of brief notices covers harsher restrictions on Jews in Siberia, barring travel and education for Jewish children and exiles, plus the death of the world’s oldest nun at the Sarneu Cistercian convent near Lucerne. Mother Andrew, born 1812, served as vestiarian for sixty years, never left the convent, and read without spectacles until shortly before illness. Also quoted are fragments of a domestic dispute and a light exchange about messages between scientists and Mars.
