study earnestly soon, although the
comparative smallness of his kingdom
will make his educational course less
arduous. The elder son of Princess
Margaret of Connaught is at present
the second direct heir to the throne,
and, as his grandfather, the reigning
monarch, is in the prime of life, it
must be many years before he is
called upon to wear the crown. All the
same the prince will be carefully pre-
pared.
The youngest monarch in the world
rules the greatest number of persons.
He Is the emperor of China, a young
gentleman of 6, who, according to the
latest reports, spends his time crying
for his mother. But his person is now
too sacred to be touched by his own
mother, and the child is allowed to cry
himself to sleep. There could scarcely
be a less enviable position today, and
no healthy boy would care to exchange
positions with his majesty of China.
The boy who is heir to the throne of
Turkey will have an easier time of 1t
now that the present sultan has placed
his parliament on a firm basis.
When the present shah celebrated the
first anniversary of his reign and
mourned the anniversary of the muir

the actual work is done. He will. no
doubt. apply many of his fathers prin-
ciples when training his own son.
Despite internal troubles, the royal
family of Russia never doubts that II
will continue to hold the throne against
all Corners. The heir to the crown is
not yet, but his education has begun,
and he is already the colonel of regi-
ment. The woman who acted as gov
erness to his sisters has described how
even the toys with which the prince
plays were selected for educational
purposes. They like to knock military
glory and royal pomp into the heads of
these infants, so that the very first idea
a prince gets is his absolute right to
rule. The tsarevitch has large idea
of his own importance.
In the years to come the baby who Is
now heir to the throne of Spain may
have cause to congratulate himself on
the fact that his mother was an Eng
lish princess, The queen has done much
to rid the royal nursery of the stupid
etiquette which ruled the palace in the
old days, and his education will be
conducted on up-to-date lines. The

King Edward is, of course, related to

most influential man of his time. Prince
Olaf of Norway is his grandson. and

PIGEONS CARRY SMALL
CAMERA FOR SCIENTIST

NEANY wonderful feats have been
w credited to the wonderful in
AiA stincts of the homing, or car
rier. pigeon, but 1.-The limit" to quote
the phrase of the moment, seems TO
have been reached by Herr Neubron-
ner, a Kronberg chemist, who mas ac-
tually trained pigeons to take photo-
graphs. For some time Herr Neuoron-
ner has been utilizing pigeons, not only
for the transmission of messages to
doctors in the neighborhood, but also
to carry small quantities of medicine.
The latter are enclosed in glove mn
gers slung about the birds wings. Inc
method has proven entirely success
full, experiments showing that a pigeon
can carry a properly distributed load
of 2Ia ounces a distance of 100 miles.
Toward the end of last year one Ok
the birds lost it's way and did not ar
rive at it's cote until after the eXpira-
ton of four weeks. There was. OF
course, no means of ascertaining where
and how the bird had got lost. 1t then
occurred to Herr Neubronner that
pigeon equipped with self-actinS
camera weighing less than three
ounces, which he fixed to the bird's
breast by an elastic strap, leaving the
wings completely free. The process of
snapshotting is, of course. automatic.
At regular intervals the machine oper-
otes by a blockwork arrangement, and
registers pictures of the various places
covered by the bird in its flight.
The German government has taken
keen interest in Herr Neubronner's no.
ton of utilizing pigeons as photog-
raphers, and there certainly seems
great possibilities in the idea. The car
rier pigeon photographer would prove
extremely valuable for obtaining in
formation in times of war of the coun-
try, position and strength of the en-
envy.
The carrier pigeon flies at the height
of between 100 and 800 feet, safe from
small shot and very difficult to hit
with bullets. Pigeons might be re-
leased from airships at any height
within the enemys lines and they
would carry home with them pictures
of great value. The carrier pigeon is
peculiarly we'll suited to service of this
character, because when set free in
strange place it commences its flight by
describing a spiral curve, in the course
of which several pictures could be
taken from the various points of view.
Then, when the pigeon has deter
mined the position of its goal, it flies
thither in a straight line at a uniform
speed of about forty miles an hour.
AS the moment of exposure can be reg
ulated with fair amount of precision,
the object which 1t is desired to photo
graph can generally be caught.
In beseiged fortresses information
concerning the beseigers can be OBJ
tanned by tumbler pigeons which, when
released at their home, fly in circles for
a time and then return to their cotes.

this: 'Be sure that God ne'er dooms

lPrize Story)

HHE greatest part of my experiments
are carried on in a small shop
which is about 3 feet long, feet
wide and about as tall as it is long,
but hope 1t will be larger some time.
We have the 110-volt circuit in our
house, but thought it would be safest
to experiment with this in my shop.
So l traded with some boys for heavy
insulated wire which l put up with
proper connections and insulation be-
tween the house and my shop. The re-
suit of this was one evening when
came home from school and turned the
current on in the house l returned to
my shop and found it brilliantly lighted
with two incadescent lights.
As the 110-voIt circuit is too heavy
to work small instruments with L con-
cluded to build me a transformer. This
was done first by making a core of
soft iron wires and on this a coil of
fairly heavy magnet wire is wound
with hundred turns A very heavy
insulation is now put over this and
another coil of much smaller wire,
consisting of a thousand turns, is ad-
ded. When this is completed the wires
of the core of the small wire are faS-
tened to binding posts, the same is also
done to the larger wires. The 110-volt
circuit is then turned into the small
wires, while the large wires give out
the current greatly reduced. 1t seems
funny that the current should come
out of the large wires, which are in
no way connected to the small ones,
but it does, all the same. With this
instrument I run my motors, two of
which I have, also small electric
globes, telegraphs, induction coils and

Baker, technical editor of U. S.

This book explains how and
why "the wheels go round" when
the force that drives them is cleo
tricity. We know that trolley
cars are impelled by an electric
wire, we recognize the third rail
of electric trains when we see it
splitting fame, and at home we
read and sometimes cook by
electricity. Every bright boy
and girl naturally asks "How is
it done ?" This book tells the
story of these and many other
electrical marvels and will offer
many interesting suggestions for
those boys who are already fairly
conversant with electrical work.

NEW Works. EXPENSIVE GuLLs

"There are 10000 sea gulls flying
about New York harbor,'' writes Eu-
gene Slade Bisbee in Harper's Weekly.
"They have ben counted by the Audi
bon society. They are the scavengers
of the waters of the metropolis. The
law protects the birds, and to kill one
means in fines and cost the sum of
$3.50. so that the total valuation of the
75, 900, which make their temporary
homes in the harbor, is $500, 500"
Every year, says the author, these gulls
migrate to the Four Brothers islands
in Lake Champaign. where their nests
are protected. The old ones return
thither each year, but the young of
each seasons hatch seek places as yet
undiscovered.

Wherein she might feed herself,
When suddenly she said, whats that

Then, after eating. back she stole
