bridge, neal the mouth of the River
Dee, England. AS described in the En-
cheering News, it consists of a solid
drawn lead pipe, covered with close
coils of copper wire, and is used for
conveying water at $50 pounds per
square inch pressure from one side Of
the river to the other to operate the
machinery of a span of the swing
bridge. At first a copper pipe one and
a half inches in diameter, jointed with
screwed unions, was used, but the
securing action of the tide washed out
the bed of the river, left the pipe un-
supported in two places and caused it
to leak. The new pipe made of lead,
wrapped with copper wire, is more
flexible than the old one, and it is ey-
pected it will work more satisfactorily.

such liberties. He charges the Prince
with sensuality, and yet in the same
paragraph goes on to say that Mrs.
Powell, whose form was the most cal
culated to arouse the sensual in man
OF any in England, chased the Prince
all over the country in her vain at
tempts to gain an entrance into his
more intimate society. These and
other instances are given to show that
the idea of the Prince of Wales being
THE first gentleman in Europe" is all
''tOmmyrot.'
Fair criticism must always be accept
ed, but when a man strains SO far TO
discover a flaw, and then when he
thinks he has found it, sets to work to
expose it, giving as evidence circum-
stances which to a thinking person
prove the very contrary to his position,
we are inclined to sympathiZe with one
who is so blinded by prejudice as not
TO be capable of seeing anything but
the Objectionable in those who happen
TO be the subjects of his prejudices.
The Prince of Wales is generally con-
coded to be 4 gentleman in the best
sense of the term, and however much
we may approve Oh disapprove OF Brit
iSh policy, we are glad to be able to
distinguish between that and the gra.
cious qualities of him who is univer.

1t is sometimes amusing to notice
how far some people allow their preju-
diceS to carry them, to see how trivial
a preteXt may be made the ground of
Il serious grievance. 1t is extremely
easy for some people to dislike a thing,
especially if they want to. This is well
illustrated in the cas- of a writer in a
New York paper who chooses TO give
vent to the anti-BritiSh %prejudiceS by
scoring the Prince of Wales on his lack
of g]raciousness and etiquette. He says
the Prince is a boor because he snubs
his wife. yet he fails to give the par
ticulars of one instance in which a snub
was given to the Princess. Miss Cham

of honor with the Prince" he says, be-
cause she said to him in the merest fun

as that could not be expected to obtain
at a society function. The Prince would
not be the gentleman he is did he not
resent such crudeness.
