bamboo, the floor is raised some feet above the ground, and the roofs are covered with atap leaves. The mountain scenery in the background and the large plan on which the place is designed, make Padang one of the most pleasant towns of Netherlands India, though the public buildings and private residences do not have a grand appearance. Padang is one of the most healthy coast places, land and sea winds contributing very much to lower the temperature.
To the south of Padang is the Emma Haven, a seaport that is in communication by rail with Padang and with the Ombilien coal fields and where steamers can always anchor in perfect safety. Excellent arrangements have been made for coaling so that anually 200,000 tons of coal can be shipped.
