a well known one, too-fgured to some ex-
tent, The prince had been down at the docks
somewhere, opening" school, or hospital,
and was leisurely walking back in the direo-
ton of st, Pauls in company with his son,
Albert Victor, alias collars and Cuffs. :"
There was quite a crowd behind the royal
pair, but the policemen on duty succeeded in
keeping them at a respectful distance The
New Yorker, who had just emerged from
Shorts place, saw the prince and walked up
to him with a smiling face.
"How do, yer highness. Tn Col - from
New York Glad to see you"
The prince, who is rather a good natured
fellow and enjoys joke, extended his right
hand with the remark: I'm well, colonel.
I'm also happy TO meet you"
The policemen were dumfounded, the
crowd Immediately revered the colonel and
that unabashed parsonage walked proudly

james F. Wilson, the chief engineer of the
Equitable building, SAYS that it will be
noticed that most boiler explosions Come,
like black coffee, right after dinner. The
reason for this, as he explains it, is that the
water in the boilers is in perfect readiness TO
become steam, and would be such but for the
pressure of the actual steam on top OF it.
When the dinner hour is over and the men
and machines begin work again the valves
are quickly opened, the steam rushes out and
the water suddenly becomes steam. As steam
has l LOO times the expansion of water the
effect is an explosion. New York Sun
