It were to be wished that the elaborate and very interesting researches of the Marquis Corti, which have revealed such singular complexity of structure in the cochlea of the ear, had done more to clear up its doubtful physiology; but I am afraid we have nothing but hypotheses for the special part it plays in the act of hearing, and that we must say the same respecting the office of the semicircular canals.
Thenceforward, and not fictitiously, he was the Count Corti; and so entitling himself, he determined to make Brindisi, and take ship for Genoa or Venice in the morning before a messenger could arrive from the castle. As he arose from the slab, a bird in housel for the night flew out of the box.
By his order, Sergius was conducted to Blacherne, and next day installed a janitor of the imperial Chapel; thus ending his connection with the Brotherhood of the St. James'. "Your Majesty," said Count Corti, at the conclusion of the scene in the arena, "I pray a favor." Constantine, by this time apprised of the Count's gallantry, bade him speak. "Give me the keeping of this negro."
The reader will doubtless remember how Duke Vlodomir, the grandson of Olga, the Russian, coming to Constantinople to receive a bride, entered Sancta Sophia the first time, and from being transfixed by what he saw and heard, fell down a convert to Christianity. Not unlike was the effect upon Corti. In a sense he, too, was an unbeliever semi-barbaric in education.
The organ of Corti is a very complicated structure which it is needless to describe in this connection. It consists essentially of modified ephithelial cells floated upon the auditory epithelium, or basilar membrane, of the cochlea. There is a series of fibers, each made of two parts sloped against each other like the rafters of a roof.
A knight in battle, foremost in the press, her name a conquering cry on his lips were but the constituents of a right womanly ambition. She answered: "Count Corti, I accept thy offer." Taking the hand she extended, he kissed it reverently, and said: "I am happy above other men. Now, O Princess, give me a favor a glove, a scarf something I may wear, to prove me thy knight."
"Count Corti, go thou with the Princess Irene to Therapia. I know thou wilt keep her safely. And thou, Kalil, have a galley suitable for a Queen of the Greeks made ready on the instant, and let there be no lack of guards despatched with it, subject to the orders of Count Corti, for the time once more Mirza the Emir.... O Princess, if I have been peremptory, forgive me, and lend me thy hand again.
"Heaven hath sent me a good soldier," said the Emperor to the Count, upon descending from the tower. Then Justiniani asked: "Why didst thou spare thy last antagonist?" Corti answered truthfully. "It was well done," the Genoese returned, offering his hand. "Ay," said Constantine, cordially, "well done. But mount now, and ride with us." "Your Majesty, a favor first.... A man is in the road dead.
It was the log of bronze Count Corti saw on the road now it is here and Heaven sent it to me first." "Your Majesty," returned the Genoese, impressed by the circumstance, and the evident remorse of the Emperor, "Heaven does not hold us accountable for errors of judgment.
He held to his cimeter as men instantly slain sometimes keep grip on their weapons; yet his head sunk upon his breast, and he saw nothing more of Mahommed until he stood before him inside the chancel. "Count Corti, where is" Mahommed caught sight of the Count's face. "Oh, my poor Mirza!" A volume of words could not have so delicately expressed sympathy as did that altered tone.
