 Mn Friedman quoted the following as being the beginning ofFColumbus' jour nal: After the Spanish monarchs had expelled the Jews from their kingdoms and lands in January, in that same month they commissioned me to under take the voyage to India with a properly equipped fleet"
 He said that with Columbus on his first voyage there were at least five Jews, among them being Luis de Torres, who acted as interpreter, and Maeshe Birnal Marco. ships physician. Luis de Santangel, chancellor of the royal house of Aragon, paid the 17.0O0 ducats (with- out interest," that aided Columbus to sail to America.

Creating a Prince

From London Answers From the war of claims fin which so many Welsh town recently engaged to decide where the coming investiture of tie Prince of Wales should be held, the ancient town of Carnarvon has emerged victorious
 Intensely interesting and picturesque is the old ceremony observed at the crea- ton of a Prince of Wales The ritual is as follows:
 He is presented before the King in his surcoat, cloak and mantle of crimson velvet, and girt with a belt of the same, when King putteth a cap of crimson velvet, indented and turned up with er- mine, and a coronet on his head, as token of prncipalty.
 And the King also putteth into his hand a verge of gold. the emblem of government, and ring of gold on his middle finger to intimate that he must be a husband to his country and q father to his children"
 The title Prince of Wales is not her editary, but is of fresh creation in each case.
