I i PRINCE'S MEMORY WAS GOOD k . -__ I Heir to British Throne Had One Qual tI ity That Is Indispensable so to Politician. On one occasion Mr. Louis Sterne. s an engineer and Inventor, and a friend of Charles Dickens. showed the Into E.lwarei VII. then prince of g Wales, hIs exhibits at South Kensing d ton anti the Crystal palace. "The next time I met the prince." 4 saId Mr. Sterne, "I was crossing 'lcnadilly, at the top of St. James t street. In trying to escape being run t down I ran directly into the arms of his royal highness, lie at once recognized me and said: 'Mr. Sterne. you should give this traffic time and m never cross the bows.' I expressed t surprise that he shbuld recognize me. to which he replied that he never for got either face or name if associated with any matter of interest." Mr Sterne met the prince again at a picture exhibition where a por trait of the late W. H. Smith was hung. Turning to the princess, his royal highness said: :i "Hallo. there's Smith!" At once a man standing near turned it around and acknowledged the recog. A d nition, offering his hand. which the li prince unhesitatingly accepted. When P1 this man, whose name happened to f be Smith. recognized the prince, he at became embarrassed and. with the lady li sr who accompanied him, made his exit *' to as soon as possible. U to _________ s- Machine Shapes Masts. P ed A machine has been built which will P1 shtpe masts np to 100 feet in length R e and three feet in diameter. The tim her is set up in the machine and re- A volved at a speed of 5)0 revolutions a i. minute, and it is shaped by a cutter 'II head which is electrically driven at the rate of 700 revolutions a minute. This cutter head is mounted on a carriage, a e! which is moved along the timber It m against a rail set to give the proper P a profile to the mast. Heretofore this fe n work has been done by hand and re- i ag quired skilled workmen. At best it u aa las been s alow and lahboditao . h S, • . ,. t " ..
