PRINCE FRANCIS OF TECK PASSES AWAY. -s88- ROYAL FAMILY AT THE DEATH! BED. The Press Association telegraphs Prince Francis of I'eck died in London on Satur- j day morning. Deceased, who was born at Kensington Palace on January 9th. 1370. was the second son of the late Duko of Teck and the late Princess Mary Adelaide. He served in the South African War with tho remount de- partment from 1899 to 1900. and received tho Distinguished Service Ovder. The King and Queen and othor members of the familv were with Prince I1 rar.-cis at the Lst. Their Majesties went to the Nurs- ing Home early in the morning for a second visit, and returned to Marlborough House at about nine o'clock. Just before ten they were again summoned, ?:id soon alter then- arrival the Sub-Dean OL the Chapel Royal was sont tor to administer the last Con- solation of R-e'igion. and tho Prmec died shortly atr?r his arrival. PRINCE FRANCIS OF TECK. 1, CAUSE OF THE ILLNESS. Some few weeks ago Prince Francis of Teck underwent a slight operation 1n the Nursing Home for the removal of an ob- structicn between the jaw and nasal pus- sage. Then he joined the King and Queen at Balmoral. He took cold. He, however, returned to town on October 13. and had a serious relapse. He agtun entered the Nursing Home suffer!r^g from pleurisy with effusion, and an operation innnMiiateiy necessary. There is reason to believe symp- toms ot septitemia gave alarming ,urn to the illness. A distressing feature was the pat- ient's extreme depression for several days -)r:or to death. Physicians had clearly in- timated there was no hope of recovery.

Princess Mary and her brothers were always together in childhood, and the affectionate intimacy ripened with the years and change of fortune. She was the elder of the quartette of children who nca-de W hite Lodge one of the happiest homes in England. A vivid mental picturc- of thoc-e early years rises before me—the Tack children scamper- ing on their ponies over Richmond Park, the girl Princess leading the way, her hair flying in the wind, and the younger Princes trying vainly to overtake her. Their laughter rang through the Park. They wr=re a hr.^py j group.. It was in keeping with the tradh/m-s » i the Teck family that1 the late Priii'v. en finding himself more or le3.-> cut off from an active care-er after retiring from the Army, should have applied himso'f to philanthropic work. His chairmanship of the Middlesex Hospital was a notable success, and he spared neither time nor labour to keep that struggling institution going. Ho was ofte-ilo" in the wards than in the board-room, and took a high and serious view cf his duties. It was chara.t*~Tk-,tic of him to do this. Recently he raised B20.GOO for the freeing of the Middlesex Hospital iron debt. On his retirement from the Army he was offered ,n £ 3,000 a year by a firm of stockbrokers to enter into partnership—having high business qualities—but the late King vetoed tho pro- posal.

MAMMDTii LINER, LAUNCH OF THE OLYMPIC. r^ITAIN'S BIGGEST BOAT. I From our own Representative.) On Tiinrsdr.v morr.ing the leviathan While iS'^ir Liner Olympic was successfully launch- ed at Belfast..Long before, eleven o'clock, th° time a:mou:vced for the launching" to j take place, a smaii army of workmen were ej>gagcd in knocking awav the piles and supports which assisted in keeping the liner erect upon the stays. Incidentally an op- portunity was afforded the hundreds of peo- pie present. privileged to enter the enclosure i of Mesars Ilartland and Wolffs (Ltd.) yard of inspecting the mammoth liner prior in its launch. Its enormous dimensions could not conceal tho perfect symmetry of its j build. On the owners' stand wore Lord Aberdeen, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, j Lady Aberdeen. Lord Pirrie, head of the great, snipbuildine firm of Hariand and • Wolff, who had built the triple screw steamer, and a number or" other distinguish- ed people. Punctually at eleven o'clock Viy Irish time the signal was given, two cannon ;v;ts sounded, and the liner v.-as perceivcd to siov. iv glido oft the stays. Gathering speed, | it entered the water stern first with almost incoii'-eivable grace and ease, and just ore-j minute elapse- M-om the moment the xn-o- tion was percty; ;ble to tho time that it was quitiv lying ,u, anchor SCÙIE AMAZING DETAILS. A vessd nearly 900 feet long—aj is the Olympic—45.COO tons gross register, and 66,000 tons displacement, would a few years ago have been deemed a phantasy. There are eleven sleet decks, fittcen water-tight bulkheads, and the Olympic is tho largest, strongest, and heaviest vessel ever launched. There is a double bottom the whole length, and the half a million rivets were all fixe' by hydraulic power. There are over 2.000 sidelights/ and in the ship, and there is accommodation K-r about 2,500 pas- sengers and a crew of 860—a total cf 3,360 souls. The nikfiiino'v is a combination of reciprocating fr,-ires with a low pressure turbine, won a ta.s bct-.i found to to the most successful arrangeir.cnt. Full advant- age nas been tpker. of the huge size of the ship to establish n.i-gifioeut staircases, great public rooms, luxurious private cabins, etc., not to speak of swimming baths, palm court, gymnasium, etc., 1.1: file strip ot water ad- joining the ship. The spectators signitcd their app.-ovai cf thj iii hiv succc^iid launch by iouclly cheering zi.; the mammoth ship entered the wi-ter. Although the operation of launching 27,000 tons into the water wss a most difficult cue, the plan ,i opted \vR? ono of the simplest imaginable. Two hydraulic druras at tho bovj ana one underneath, all having a pressure of nearly four hundred pounds per square inch, boing put into action by the mere pressing of a lever.
