Edward Black Prince.
Though following so closely upon
the coronation of his father, the in
vestiture of the Prince will lose
nothing of its importance, for King
George himself will take a conspicu-

thousand cheering Welshmen will
witness the event, for Edward AL

to receive the investiture on Welsh
soil in hundreds of years. Carna-
Won castle, where the ceremony will
take place is intimately associated in
every turret and gateway with some
of the most stirring chapters in Welsh
| history. The town Is perhaps more
typically Welsh in its externals, its
customs and its people than any other
place of like size in the whole of the
princpality.

gives interesting particulars of it.
The palace of Nebuchandnezzar is be-
! ing laid lare in all its vastness and
the line of fortification of the heights
on which the palace stood is now al
most completely traced. The streets
and private dwellings lying round the
foot of the hill are being cleared.
Among other finds is a small temple,
the work of Nebuchandnezzar, beau
tifully built, in apparently perfect
preservation and still showing the
black and white color scheme char
acteristic of the Assyrians.
Knows His Visitors.
People presented TO King George
are always astonished and not less
flattered to know that he knows all
| about them, their family and their
achievements. He puts some kindly
question that shows intimate know
ledge. The explanation lies in the
