THE SIBERian RailWAY: HOW THE FURL IS PROVIDED.
Providing fuel for a railway of such dimen sions as that traversing Siberia is a matter of no small difficulty, and some information on this point may be of interest. The whole of the line from Tacheljabinsk to Irkutsk, come 3,000 versis, states a writer in Engineering, now uses coal from Siberian mines. The quantity used for locomotives, pumping stations, and workshops during last year amounted 17,003,000 poods, and on account of the in- creasing traffic the requirements of the present year are estimated at 20,000,000 poods (300,000 tons). The bulk of the coal required comes from
to
two localites-5sudschenks (the Government
of Tomsk), and Tscheremchow (the Govern ment of rkutsk), in addition to which Urai coal is used for the Tscheljabinsk Petropov lovsk section. The Ssu schenka conl is the best; it cakes well, and contains only 7 to 1 per cent. ashes. The Techeremchow coal is apt to break up, thereby causing a considerable loss of weight, and the percentage of ashes lies between 15 and 20 per cnt. The percentage of sulphur in both kinds of coal is about the average, whilst the Ural coal contains so much sulphur that it is used as little as possible. The working of the Ssudschenka coal deposits is somewhat difficult on account of water, great depth, and thinness of the beds of coal, &e At Tscheremehow the working is extremely, easy; the beds have a thickness of ' sashen, and lic, horizontally, at a depth of only 12 sashen (shen is about 7 ft.), water gives hardy any trouble, and natural ventilation is excellent. On account of these favourable. conditions the output of coal at Tschermchow is at present about twice as large as at Ssuds. chenka, in spite of the better quality of the latter coal. The price to the Siberian Railway has been fixed at 7 kopeks per pood, including loading on to the wagons. The central position of the Ssudschenka deposits (1,380 versis from Tacheljabidak and 1,470 versis from Irkutsk) is

40. QUEEN'S ROAD,
From the comparative statistics published in the journal, it is seen that, while in 1892 the Japanese mercantile fleet was the thir teenth in the world in point of tonnage, it had risen by or to the eighth position, and it is interesting to note that it is rapidly coming up to the same relative status as that occu. pied by the Japanese Navy, the position of which is the seventh among the navies of the world. In the same journal there is an iD. teresting article by Captain Hirayama, I.J.N, Director of the Nautical College, in which the writer discusses the relative positions of foreig nors and Japanese in the Japanese merchant service. Captain Hirayama expresses the opinion that it is of great importance to Japan that her mercantile marine should be under the command of her own officers. That this truth was early appreciated by Japan was shown by the strenuous efforts made by her to procure a supply of well-educated officers The growth of the merchant service, however. has been so rapid that the supply of well trained officers has not kept pace with the demand. According to statistics obtained by Captain Hirayamn from the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, "and carefully digested by him the total numbers of officers on that company's European, Australian, American Bombay and Shanghai linors was 293, of} * whom 184 were Japanese and top foreigners, On closer examination of the statisticuit is found that the higher ranks of the service are almost:
