During the past year the heinvestigation
OF the mineral resources of Burmah has
been continued. According to the last
annual administrative report the coal
neids in the Upper Chindwin district
and the country between the Myittha
and 1u Rivers have been examined.
The total area Of the coal field in this
part OF the country is estimated by the
London Times at It's square miles. It
consists of two portions, the more valu.
able one, near the river, measuring
about fifty-tive square miles and the
other about l2O square miles. The coal
occurs in tertiary strata of very regular
bedding; the seams numerous, but the
majority of them are not thick, few ex-
ceeding three feet and one measuring
ten feet. The coal is of excellent
quality, hard and bright, and makes OK.
cellent fuel. The average of eleven an
alyses of Chindwin coal shows o per-
centage OF fixed carbon of 1895. Some
seams, however, show as high a per-
centage rs $3.50. A syndicate has taken
lease OF SIX square miles of these fields.
The borings at the Thayetmyo coal
fields have been stopped, aud it is un-
likely they will be taken up again. The
Ihingadaw coal fields have been leased
to syndicate and boring operations
have been started. In the northern
Shan States coal has been found near
Lashio in isolated basins varying in ex-
tent. 1t occurs in tertiary sandstone
surrounded by silurian limestone. The
outcrops are difficult to examine, being
situated i'll the beds below the water
level nearly the whole year round. In
the Lashio coal field there is one seam
OF at least thirty feet in thickness. This
has been specifically traced for more
than two miles. The coal Is not of the
first quality. being very light and liable
to crack when dry. In the Nommra
basin there are Numerous coal seams,
ranging from six feet to eight feet in
thickness. In several of them the coal
is of very hard description; but it is.
comparatively speaking, poor, the per-
centage of fixed carbon not exceeding
thirty-nine in any of the eleven samples
tested. 1t may now he considered
proved that coal occurs in the Northern
Shan States in workable quantities Of

In the late Admiral Aube Franco lost
devoted statesman and patriot. The
work of his latter years was the reform
of the administration of the French
navy. From the time that he entered
o naval school as boy, his career was
marked by fine courage, sincerity and
good sense.
When he was senior midshipman Of
the Tonerre, and not yet twenty-five
years old. he distinguished himself by
acts of intrepid daring.
The Tonerre was anchored in the
port of Genoa. One night o fire broke
out in the military arsenal Of the place.
The commander of the French ship at
once sent out boat with q party Of
sailors to assist the garrison and its in
habitants. The fire threatened to be
terribly destructive if its spread could
not be checked.
Aube was placed in command Of the
aiding party. The struggle against the
fire was going on we'll, when suddenly
q panic seized the Italians, and they
fled precipitately.
A sudden breath OF wind had changed
the direction of the flames. A quantity
of debris on low structure, the roof Of
which was only six feet above the
ground, burst into flame This struc.
ture was the powder magazine.
Quick as thought Aube perceived and
acted upon the one plan by which he
could master the situation. He sprang on
the smoking roof, climbed to the ridge,
and seating himself calmly, went on di-
recting the men from this point Of OBJ
servation.
Electrified by this act Of heroism, the
Italians retraced their steps, and they
and the sailors attacked the fire with
vigor and success.
Then Midshipman Aube descended
from his perch, and tried to return
quietly to his ship; but an ovation was
not to be escaped. He was surrounded
and carried to the ships boat, which
awaited him, in the midst of enthusi-
astic applause and expressions OF appre-
citation. Youths Companion.
