(NOTICE.
It is anderstood that the Prince of Wales will D go for & long cruits in one of his Majesty's abips 10 complets his naval education. Ne detalls have been wattled, but the cruise will A LING and SIX PANCE per Share,
not be of an official character and will be devoid of any formalities.
Thalais Duke of Olarance and the present King, who was then Prince George, after com pleting their term of training as naval cader in the Britannia, joised the crusger Bacchante in 1884. In her they made a two years' WOYAKI vialling almost every part of the British Empire, the West Indies, Cape Colony, Australia, the Fiji Islands, and Hongkong. At that date the Dake of Clarence was sixtsen and the prasani King fiteen. The two Princes conformed to the discipline of the Bervice whils on board with this sole exception, that they slept in coe instead of slinging their hammocks in the ‚stanrage.'"
* This apparatas, which has already been inst- ad and approved by many of the largest misis of stamps in the United Kingdom, will aux stamps to letters, etc., with amazing rapidity; with export operation some -4000 letters, etc., may be stamped in one hour. Se successful, Indeed, has it been proved to be that a largely signed petition has been presented to the Post master-General which in effect ask that in fatore the Post Office shall issue stamps in rolls (one stamp wide), so that the users may bendit to the utmost capacity of the machins. When firms who expand anything up to 15,000 par agnum on stamps are unanimous in their ver dict there can be little doubt of, the efficiency of the machine both as a time and labour saver. The machine is patented by the British
The Prince of Walay is now sixteen years of Electric Automatic Machines, Limited, of age. He has received from the fint the educk- Caxton House, S.W., and is manufactured of aval cadet. He entered at Osborza lo May 19 7, and thiace pissed to Dartmouth, by Vicker, Sons and Maxim, who are ad which is the school for older cadets, in May thusiastic as to its efficiency and reliability go. In the ordinary course of training, after The "Beam" possavası advantages, which no two years at Datmonth, he would go sost other stamp-affixing machine has. For example next your for a six months' cruise to the south some five separate rolls of stamps can be of Europe and the Mediterranean in one of his kept locked up and used separately as required, Majesty's armoured cruisers. the changing from the affixing of, say, id stamps to those valued at ad requiring only the briefest period of time. Further, this machine will perforate the stamps with any desired Initial, count them and shows the exact our ber of stamps used and letters addressed, w that no error or defraudation can occur, Strong. ly built, the “Beam" is most compact and simple in operation. Just as fast anx an operater can pass along the letters, etc., and turn a short handle to rapidly is the stam plog oparation performed, All that is now required to make this machine a complete success is the issue by the Post Office of the rolls of stamps petitioned for. The British Electric Automatic Machiner, Limited, show many other Ingenious automatic machines markted by the firm. There is, for example, an automatic stamp vendor, which for id inserted in a slot promptly delivers a stump into a small receptacle. Beat colds will not effect a sale; by means of a sensitiva * colo- detector" the machine will respond to none but the correct coin. Again, there is an automatic ticket vendor, which prints, dates and registeri
the tickets and delivers them literally "cut and dried" at the astonishing rate of go tickets per minute. For uso ni “ (pho” stations, theatres, etc, this machine is of enormous value. Them are a few of the automatic-devices presented
Throughout, the Prince, ilks his father, has been treated in exactly the same mannar es other bivalcades. At Dartmouth revaille is sounded at 6:30 am, and the day closes at 9 pan. His Royal Highness has proved bimself a keen sportsman and cross-country.
UDC,
He has had the same Epattin kit as viber cadats-the regulation chest, with the regula tion culfitmarked with the cadet's name." Thus throughout the counsel given by Baron Stockmar to the Prince Consort, when the education of King Edward was under consi deration, has bean followed. Stockmar adviseð that the young Princes of the British Royal House should bara a system of educatiĝa "truly moral and truly English."

FLANNELETTE DANGERS.
TESTS SHOW THAT & DRESS MAY B? BURNED IN A MINUTE,
The Departmental Committed which has been inquiring into the law relating to coro per's counts has had under consideration the denger arising from the use of flannelet a in articles of clothing, and has now presented it report. Experiments made and evidence heard fully establish the dangars which may' aries f.om this cheap and popular dress materiai, but the commities do not. see their way to recommend, asý legislation, except for wilfal ›misrepresentation of the character of the goods
offered for sale. **
יי
With regard to the revult of the tests of in- flammability of flanneletto conducted. by er- perts, the committee stale qenerally that a square yard of ordinary flannelette is entirely consumed in a period of less thap 60 seconds, the rapidity of the burlag being distinctly greater in the case of the washed as compared with the unwashed samples...
PA drasting-gown of ordinary flanneletto vary | rápidly takes fire on the application' of the toper; the fame travels rapidly upwards and extends to the right and left, with the result that it reaches the top of the garment in about to seconds, and consumis the whole or greater part of it in a minute.
The conclusion to which this evidence is 'dubitably points in that a woman or child whose skirt ar dressing gown of flannefatta còmes into,contact with fire must, unless prompt and effective measures are taken, Inevitably suffer serious injury, and is notdolikely to be borned to death.
On the whole, the committee think that the only coune is to wait for further. Improvement lo the manufacture of diünalnite. · There is also the possibility that now and cheaper methods of diminishing the inflammability of the'material may be 'discovered.
