Out to Mix With the Ordi-

As Large Enough.

NOW MUCH I'M DEMAND.

An Investigation.
(By Richard Abercorn.) 9.

London Oct 19.-The Princess Of
Wales has democratic ideas on the ed
ucation of her children. Instead of
following the fashion of snobbish mil
lionaires in keeping her children like
dollhouse plants with an expensive
staff of tutors and governesses, she is
sending them out to mix with ordina
~ boys and girls as soon as they are
large enough.
She is now inquiring for a suitable
school for Princess Mary, her only
girl, who is now big enough to leave
home The Princess has been visiting
likely schools incognito. so that the
principals do not guess the royal rank
OF their possible new pupil. PloJa-
bly, the little empress will go to one Oh
the superior middle class boarding
schools for girls near Eastbourne, on
the south coast
The county home of the Prince and
Princess of Wales will be in future
Frogmore, near Windsor, the Prince
having given up York Cottage Sand
bingham to his father as an annex to
the Kings residence. 1t will be used
as bachelors wing" for house par
ties, which was it's original purpose.
The king experienced the need for an
addition to Sandringham when he was
entertaining a large house party
The Prince of Wales will make Frog
more his principal residence, as he is
extremely fond of country life, and
spends very little time at Marlborough
House, his London residence. Being
fine shot and an ardent fisherman,
the prince will find ample field for
the indulgence of his sporting instincts
in Windsor park and on the Thames.
English lace is at present so much in
demand that an unprecedented boom
has been caused at Nottingham the
centre of the industry. Because fash
ionable Americans and English wo-
men are wearing much lace the more
skilled lacemakers in the Nottingham
district are earning as much as $50
week Quiet villages near Noting
ham have been transformed into busy
factory towns. and the largest lace fac
tory in the world has just been opened
at Draycott.
The new ashton of wearing lace
combined with furs win keep the boom
alive through the winter, although in
the ordinary way it would have begun
to slacken with the coming autumn.
The controversy in the american
press as to the deterioration Of turb
inc machinery after few yesrs' weal
and the consequent unprofitsole limo
walton of the steam turbine for Ink
propulsion OF the Lusitania aad othe-
Atlantic liners, was the subj OF =

The Turbina, the first craft fitted
with the steam turbine. is at present
lying in the Tyne at Wallsend, and aft
er many years of service speed of 81
knots has been maintained on five
mile run. The Turbina has run many
= thousands of miles, frequently encoun-
tering heavy seas, and her turbines
which have just been opened out, are
the same as when they were installed
The success of the Lusitania and the
Mauretana, developing twenty-six
knots on he builders trials, is regard
ed as an epoch making departure in
marine engineering so far as it applies
to high-speed Atlantic liners
The reduction of vibration giving
greater comfort to passengers, increas-
ed speed for the same boiler power
and increased cabin accommodation
due to smaller machinery space. are
the advantages claimed for steam
turbine in the fast Atlantic service.
