from the title of Prince Of Wales and Caro-
witch in that it is, so to speak. ex officio. and
belongs Ipso facto to the heir apparent, without
having to be conferred. The present heir TO
the Spanish throne is the Infanta Mercedes,
who reigned Queen during the six months
that intervened between the death of her father
Alfonso MI, and the birth of her brother The
present King On his advent she stepped down
from the throne and became once more Princess
of the Asturias, as she had been in the late
Kings lifetime In Spain husbands invariably
share any titles or dignites which their wives
nay possess, and, in consequence thereof, the
husband of the Infanta, Prince Charles Of
Bourbon, younger son Of the legitimist claimant
TO the throne of Naples is now officially known
as Prince of the Asturias. and, in the event OF
her succeeding to the throne as Queen Regent,
he will become in the same way King Consort of
Spain.
The title of Princess of the Asturias is
marEabe for this reason that it is, strictly
speaking, the only princely title in Spain. The
members of the reigning house styled in
fants and infantas. and the only princely title
that is recognized is that of the Asturias. For
merly there was one other prncely title, name
y, tie one conferred at the close Of the eish-
tcenth century upon GCdoy. the ignoble and
universally execrated favorite of King Charles
" and Queen Louise, who was created by thefl
Prince of the Peace. a title now extinct The

FIRE PICTURES on THE PALISADES.

WEIRD SCENES PRESENTED ACROSS THE HUD-
son BY THE SMALL BOYS BoNF1REs
Few more impressive fire pictures have been
painted hereabouts in a long time than those
that darkly Illuminated the Palisades opposite
1onkers several evenings last week. The
spectacle could be plainly seen from the Hudson
River Railroad and on the trains that wound
their way up the river just after dark most of
the passengers crowded to the western windows
Of the cars and remained there until the fire
crested SUBMITS had been left far behind.
About this time of the year when the trees
fairly denuded of their foliage which lies
dried and wthered on the ground, bands II
small boys over the Palisades after dark
setting fire to the tempting fuel This fall has
been such dry that the opportunity has
been especially good, and some glorious pictures
have resulted. The leaves find their way into
the huge crevices that wind about the rocky
hiIlsides and into whatever dried watercourse
beds there may be, and it is to this fact that
the peculiar appearance Of these forest Tres IS
often due. Many of them look lIKr great snakes
of fire that wind and twist and writhe their
ruddy way the hillsides, over the TOP of
the ridge and down into the murk the other
side, Leaving only a glowing track behind them.
Again, the traveller sees what looks like the
turret Of some crumbljng castle outlined in nIme
against the dark Of the hill, and calling TO the
imagination some old, impregnante devils fort
ress lighted 10y the torches of sin and wrath.
In few minutes the fiery towers the fancy
has sketched fade away, and in trice one secs
a vast, Ilimitable seacoast, fire lit, with larnheut
waves breaking il long rollers Of flame and
smoke upon the lonely shore. Next moment this
view. too is gone and in its place one sees
dark and shadowy city, whose streets are al
outlined in flame 50 bright that the houses which
line the thoroughfares are in backness all tlie
more impenetrable for the contrast.
over all these changing pictures hangs a lurid
uau Of smoke that is lighted up ftfully here
and there, where the fuel that feeds these
curious flames is more than commonly PLENTIFUL

grant to his sailor Of that title Of Prince of
Wales which would have fallen to the lot Of his
elder brother the late Duke Of Clarence. had he
lived The dignity Of Prince Of Wales carries with
. it no increase OF status, power or rank 1t is
merely titular honor calculated 10 distinguish
the heir apparent TO the throne from the other
royal dukes. brothers. nephews and cousins OF
the sovereign, and it is as Duke Of Cornwall and
York that Prince George viii continue to vote
in the House IF Lords since his dukedoms of
Cornwall ana York are peerages. carrying with
them the right oc voting in Parliament, whereas
the dignity Of Prince II Wales carries with it
TO such prerogatiye.
There have been several cases in English his
tory where the sovereign has refrained from in
Iesting his and heir with the rank Of Prince
Of Wales a notable instance being t.iat Of
Henry VIII whose son, King Edward VI, was
Duke Of Cornwall up the time Of his acces-
sion. but not Prince Of Wales. Neither was
King Charles II ever created Prince Of Wales by
his father and King James ii equally re-
miss with regard to his only son, who figures
in the annals Of Great Britain the Pretender.
There has been only one Princess of Wales in
her own right. namely, Mary, eldest daughter
of King Henry VIII who is known il English
history by the agreeable epithet Of Bloody Mary.
She was created Princess Of Wales by her father
in order to conciliate the Welsh people, and it
Vas probably on this account that her young
h4If-brother King Edward VI, who preceded
h.r on tre throne had to content himself dur
ing his fathers lifetime with the title Of Duke
Of Cornwall.
With regard to the title of Prince of the AS

Emperor. in the ukase Of July II. 1899 pro-
claiming his brother Michael heir 20 the throne
pointedly onits to invest him with the dignity
OF Czarowitch- Although the word Czarowitch
means "son Of the Gar" there have been times
when it vas borne by the brother Of the mon
arch, although the latter had several sons living
st the time Even still more than the dignity
or Prince Of Wales in Great Britain and OF
Prince Of the Asturias in Spain. is it conferred
by the sovereign as an act Of favor instead
OF being assumed a right Of birth and in
heritance. Thus, Emperor Paul conferred the
title Of Czarowitch upon his second son. Con-
stantine, in 1899. 10 reward his distinguished
services in the Italian campaign, and Con-
stantine continued 10 bear it, not only through
out the reign Of his father, but likewise during
those Of his elder brother, Alexander. and Of his
younger brother, Nicholas, although the latter
had no fewer than three sons at the time Of
Constantine's death.
The first mention Of Czarowitch in the his
tory OF Russia is the tragic tale Of Ivan "
killing in a fit Of temporary passion his IA
rorite son, the one object that he loved in the
word. and this Emperor, who was 50 justly
sUrnaned The Terrible Is GA record as having
become weI!nigh insane with grief and despair
when he realized that he had slain his Caro-
witch Coming down 70 more familiar days we
find Peter the Great administering poison to his
son, the CzarOWitch Alexis. nominally as pun
ishment Tor treason. but in reality because the
prince hated the Western ways Of his father
and openly proclaimed his intention Of abolish
ing as soon as he came TO the throne all the
Occidental reforms introduced by the founder
Of modern Russia. There are few more dra-
matte pages in MuscOvite annals than those de-
scribing the closing scenes Of this drama, acted
by the Emperor and his heir in the dungeons
Of the krernlin, Of Moscow, and in the presence
Of the leading dignitaries of the realm.
From that time forth nothing more was heard
Of Czarowitches until near the end Of the eigh-
teenth century when Catherine II conferred the
title upon her son Paul. But she subsequently
developed such an aversion TO him that she re
peatedly sought 10 have him put out OF the way,
subjecting him to the most incredible indgnities
and cruelties. and leaving viii disnheriting
him il favor Of his eldest son. Alexander. who
was her favorite. This document was, however,
burned Immediately after her death by Count
kurakin a friend Of Paul, and the latter duly
ascended the throne. The last prince % beai
the title Of Czarowitch was the second brother
of the present Emperor. who. after career
shrouded in gloom, and living in such degree
Of retirement that few Of his brothers subjects
knew him even by sight, while his name was
rarely if ever, mentioned. either officially or
otherwise, finally died in the arms Of an old
peasant woman who had found him expiring
from a rupture Of blood vessel, quite alone by
t7a roadside near the remote Caucasian village
where he made his home
