The Prince of Wales owns a good deal
OF property in South London, and in his
capacity Of lord of the manor Of Kensing-
ton he has issued a most impressive proc
lamation. in which all his numerous
names and titles are mercilessly cited,
calling on his tenants and faithful re-
tainers to attend his first court baron at
well known tavern. Within that tavern
where the function is duly held, the
princes representative will be engaged in
perpetuating custom which has existed
since the days of the Black Prince, who
lived in a royal palace of kensington
The court baron Is survival Of the an
cient ceremonies which were performed at
this palace, the last remains Of which, a
tumble-down barn, disappeared in 1875
In the old days the court baron appointed
its stewards and constables for the royal
estate In kensington. and heard the law
suits or Its tenants; nowadays the court
exists merely to collect the rents in the
name OF its princely lord Of the manor.
When the king owned the state as Prince
of Wales he displayed great interest in
the welfare Of his tenants. who are chief
ly of the artisan class. His majesty paid
personal attention to rehousing scheme,
and ordered that the ugly old tenements
should be replaced by clean healthy
blocks of flats or bright and comforta BILE
cottages.

Corrugated Vessels Strongest.

Corrugated ships were described by
Capt. @. s. MacIlwaine. r. N. in lee
ture at the Royal United Service Insti-
tuition as In every way stronger than
ordinary ships. Among the advantages
claimed were strength. greater steadi-
ness and stability, with less vibration
increased capacity for cargo, faster
speed for the same horsepower, and a
quicker response to the helm.
Particulars were given Of trips by the
MOnitOria and the HyltOnia. two vessels
with the wavy sides. and Capt. MacIl-
waine said he had no hesitation in say
ing that of the two the corrugated ship
was much less vulnerable than her plain
er sister. and that she could stand col
lisions Of all sorts better.
He was almost inclined to think that
the terrible resllts of underwater col
lisiOns with submarines would have been
mitigated had these vessels been CORFU
gated.
