The Queen, having decided that her

The following are the train- ar-

,Lady Eileen Butler, daughter of the
Earl of Lanesborough.

OLAsCovittS CELEBRATION
At the Glasgow Corporation meeting
at which plans were made for cele-
brating the Coronation, the Lord Pro-
vost explained that'it Was proposed -0
carry out arrangements similar to what
was followed at King Edward's Corona-
tion . The idea was to give a diner to
about 20,000 poor in the various parts of
the city, that the children and their
teachers should receive a medal, and
toso that the children should have a
day in the „Exhibition instead of the
Children's Day in the parks. it would
be quite in keeping with the usual cir-
tennstances that the Corporation should
possibly have a banquet, and that there
should he a reception on some evening
for a large number of citizens. it was
not intended to go to a very large
amount of extravagance'but they
would require to celebratethe Corona-
tion in keeping with the dignity of the
City, •

CORONATION CORNERS
FaMines There Will Be At the Corn -
Ing Crowning.
• The .bill for the Cordnation robes
of George /V. was $100.000
• Of this $58,000 fell to the share of
the furrier; and we are told that the
feet of no fewer than 6,500 Astrachan
lambs were •required for the black
spots on the inside of the robes.
No wonder that every Coronation
has seen a fatnine in furs, for not
only A4trachan lamb, but black fox..
sable, and, above all, ermine, are re-
quired in immense quantities for the
robes of those who are privileged to
attend the Coronationservice in
Westminster Abbey. •

For months past agents have been
busy in Siberia and elsewhere buying
Up ermine, and the price is already
double the ordinarY. One. hundred -
and twenty ermine skins are required .
by each peer for his Coronation" cape

• Judging by the Coronation of the
late King Edward VII., no other cere-
monial causes such a boom in trade,
and lots -of things besides furs are
going, to become scarce ahd expensive,
before Tune.
• In 1902 seats were provided for
98,250f people in public stands, and
the stands themselves cost $260.000.

for Brook Husse lust for the season:
• the Misses Keyser refused $25,000
for their house in Grosvenor •Cres -
•cent, •and a house in Chesham Place
brought $75,000 for four months!
to -day motors have largely super-
seded the horse and carriage, but one
almost shudders to think what one
will have to pay for a • car during
Coronation' week. Certainly nothing
will be proeurable under $60 a day.
and the prices may run far beyond
this.
Ten years ago there was an abso-
lute corner in bands. Certain inter-
ested parties retained all the good
bands, wed people who wanted music
had to pay a pretty price.
So, too, with fireworks. The de-
mand -for Coronatioi . rockets was
simply enormous. AII the Itirger
towns spent on an aVerage $4,000
apiece on fireworks, and the private
demand Was very large. It will be
remembered' that there • were hun-
dredof Coronation bonfires and at
each. fifty rockets were sent up.
The bonfires recall the feet • that
tar -barrels were not to be had for
love or money for some days before
the last Coronation. They were al)
absorbed bY early buyers.

MUSIC FOR CORONATION

• Gratifying progress is reported in
• the preparation of the musical ritual
of the Coronation service. The pro-
grame will follow closely that at the
Coronation of Edward' VIL, with a
few notable' additions. There will be
a larger choir and also a larger band
than at the Coronation of the late
King. The singers will number almost
five hundred, and the instrumental-
ists probably one hundred.
•T.he nucleus of the choir Will na-
turally be the Westminster • Abbey
/singers, who will be reinforced by the
choirs of St. Patirs Cathedral, the
Chapel Royal,. St George's Chapel at
Windaor, and drafts from the choirs
of Hocheeter Cathedral, and other
sources in the Provinces., The or-
chestra in .which the trumpeters will
have a tonspieuous part, will be made
up of Musiciens from the Eing's Pri-
vate -Band, the orcheetra ot the Royal
Choral Society, and the Kneller Hall
&shoot of Military Music. •

ritual Will be the anthems specially

WAVES TO DRIVE SHIPS
•Applying Wave Power In Propelling
Vessels Acrose „the Atlantic
Mr. john Luck, of Brooklyn, box
devised a plan to apply wave power to
the propuisien of vessels mussing the
Deems. The model ot hie invention.
says "Science Sifting," represents the
hull ef a vesniel equipped with Water
tanks, fore and aft. Irt the eeetre of
the craft le a piston rod operated by
a series of cogwheels, which furnishea
motor power for the-ohip. Theoretical.
ly the weight of water stored in the
tanks wal be sufficient • ta Put the
machinery in motion and move the
ship. This force will be applied by the
rise and fall Of the bull, occasioned by
the action of the waves. If, for in-
stance, a wave five feet high Should
strike the vessel aetern, to of force
would be thrown upon the operating
machinery, which would be simultan-
eensly affected by the suction of the
receding watere in, other tanks at the
opposite and of the boat, It would
not, ther"fore, affect the power of pro-
pulsion if the tides were adverse to
the course of the ship. Rocking of the
boat by cross currents would have no
effect on the power pressure.
