The title was first conferred on
Prince Edward, afterward King Ed
ward II of England. in 1901. He was
born at Carnarvon. Wales. and the
story goes that the king presented the
newborn child to the Welsh as their
native prince who could speak no word
of English. The idea of using the title
for the heir apparent to the British
throne was introduced by Edward LII,
who in 1343 invested his son, the Black
Prince, with the principality. From
that time the title has been borne
by the eldest son of the reigning king.

: spnarea Species OF Petrcss.


Scattered over widespread areas Of
the ocean are more than 100 species
of petrels, but among the most inter-
esting are the fulmars. Sailors of
British vessels commonly refer to them
as "mollymawks." a corruption of mall
lemuck. The birds in great flocks
follow in the wake of ships, and are
especially fond of whaling vessels, for
they like the substance that is thrown
out in the refuse from whale clean
ing. The fulmar ranges over tia

ture on the American side, and lower,
to SO degrees as the farthest south, on
the European side.

Rats cause Loss to cane Growers.

Cane growers in Porto Rico estimate
their annual loss at S75,0OU, due not
only to the cane actually destroyed,
but also to the fermentation set up
in the cane juices in the stalks that
had been gnawed upon, thus reducing
the purity and the sucrose content.
This loss was based upon the estimate
that only one-half of ] per cent of
stalks were attacked by rats; but in
reply to inquiries. the estimates made
by different planters varied from per
cent to per cent of stalks attacked
by rodents.
