and the heat should be automatically con

ENGLAND's FUTURE KING.
Young Prince Edward Becoming an
Object of Interest.

LONDON, June 22-The British pub
lie is only just beginning to look upon
the little Prince Edward the seventh
anniversary of whose birth occurs to-
morrow, in the light of a future king.
The Importance of his place In the ma
chine of state is somewhat magnited
by the absence of his father. Accord
ing to present plans, Prince Edward
will be a sailor, going upon the train
ing ship Britannia in a few years. His
present education consists of a few
short daily lessons given by MademOi-
selle Brika, for many years companion
to the late Duchess of Teck. The king
is said to be strongly opposed to "stuf-
fing children with too much knowledge ~
His recollection is keen of how un-
pleasant it was to be a walking die
tionary" at twenty.
a story is going the rounds of young
Prince Edwards preCociousuess. At Il
juvenile party, in the presence of the
Duke of Cornwall, he was given two
pieces of wood. for which he solemnly
thanked his playmates with old-fash-
ioned expressions, whereupon the Duke
of Cornwall exclaimed: The little
wretch, he speaks better than l do"
which is not far wrong, for the Duke Of
Cornwall is notoriusly nervous and un-
fitted for public speaking.
