attracted quite the attention its impotanegan, Mr. & Mrs. R.

merits, has been his eagerness to gain fuller in

·formation regarding the mineral resources of the island. Though the plumbago mines and gem quarries are known to be of considerable value, the potentialities of the interior in oth r directions have never been very thoroughly investigated Curiously enough, it was the advent of the Boer prisoners which quickened theinterest in the subject. Some of the Transvaal burghers were convinced their land of exile possessed gold in paying quantities. Sir John West Ridgeway was not above taking the hint, and he instructed Mr. Hunter, the Inspector of Mines, to make an examination with the assis tance of a prisoner of war who hid had long, experience ofgold mining in South Africa. The preliminary reprit was of so favourable a character that Mr. G. G. Dixon, an eminent Consulting Engineer, was called in as an in.

framped over 2,000 miles of country... He found gold in the flat land between the Kelani-ganga and the Sitawaka-ganga at Malwaña, in the beds of a number of streams, in the gravel deposits in the Peradeniya Gardens, and in the rivuleis running into the head of the lake-at-Nähwara Eliy1, but "the posi- tive results of the investigation up to the pre- sent are not encouraging," A ray of hope, bow ver, remains in the fact that owing to finds some of the most promising localities in the low-country have not yet been prospected, and the final report has still to be submitted. For the moment, however, it does not seen pro- bable that Ceylon will pmduce a rival to the Kolar Fields. Yet even if the recent investiga- tions lead to no practical result as far as gold mining is concerned, the incident has already had far-reaching effects. Sir John West Ridge- way had previously realized the need of a mipemlogical survey of the island, and when he went home for the Coronation, he consulted Pofessor Dunstan of the Royal Imperial Institute, who has promised to select a'qualified expert to undertake such a survey. So further developments in Ceylon will be awaited with interest.

The French have been rather unlucky lately with their new emisers; in fact there is not a❘ little comfort to be obtained in observing that our Spartiate and Burnfu are not without sisters in misfortune across the Channel. The Jeanne d'Arc, a first class armoured craiser of 11,329 tons displacement and an estimated speed of 23 knots,' has given much trouble Ather trials she failed to get over 18 knots with her full horse power of 28,000, and her engines, designed to run at 120 revolutions, could only be run at 11a, because the bearings all got hot. The boilers are of the Guynt small tube express type, and owing to defective feed arrangements-several of them got burned out on the trial and have had to be replaced while the stakehalds were found to be insup portably hot. The stokeholds have had to be radically altered, and the ship has been delayed many months in consequence The commerce destmover Chean. Renault his also given trou- ble with her engines; according to Le Vacht. | Crake, William A. she has not engines for the high power and speed she is designed to develope, and in addition is absurdly underarmed with her two 6.4-inch and six 5 5-inch Q.-F. Guns. On her early trials she made 14,18 knots but ruined her shaft bearings in the process; she is a triple screw shin, and from all accounts they are not satisfactory, One feature of French trials worth remember.

ing is that at fil power they only have to

steam for two hours, while English ships have to keep it up for eight, and their four-6fths power ran only lasts for six hours while nur lasts for thirty. The difference is very great. especially at the full power run; and there is no doubt that a gond many more defects would have developed in the Chalian Renault if she had run for eight hours. The ship is now ready, however, and is to preceed to the China station at once.

The Amiral Gueydon and the ¿farseillaise. first class armoured cruisers, have both met with In remarkable accident, which will delay their completion. In their furning trial at high speed, when the helm was well over, the hull' must have been bidly strained, as some of the plates oft got bent and partially out of place, ned both ships have had to go into dock for
