THE PROBLEM OF THE AIR.
New Tork Tribune.
The disaster which overlook M. S-n-toa-rmmont
In his Utest attempt to win
the Peutsch prl and almost cos: him
his life, forcibly Indicate how far the
problem of aerial navigation !a from
being solved. "With a favorable breeie
the airship had rounded the Eiffel tower
and was on its -wiy back to the starting
point, while th Inventor1 ardent su
irter tvere ptvtnaturetly rejoicing !n
his success, when a sudden gust of wind
sent It broadside. In M. Santcs-Du-rnont's
own expressive wrds, "I ke a
ship In a storm, the ballxin pitched and
rolled, now and then recovering its nor
mal position." Under the pressure of
another gust the forward end of the
balloon was forced down until the rope
connecting It with the frame caught in
the Drooeller. which struck and broke
th-. wires. M. Santos-Dumont perceived
at once that the only thing to do was
to descend as a wn as possible, but the
mischievous wind blew his craft back
toward ihe tower, and then, veering
once more, dashed It agiinst a building.
Thereupon the balloon burst, and the
whole machine woull have dnppel in:o
a courtyarj If the under framework had
not caught and hung on a projecting
cornice. The motor was not damaged,
the balloon can be readily repaired, and
the plucky aeronaut, who escaped un
hurt. Intends to continue his experi
ments; but we are informed that the
man who put up the prize of l'0
franr In the interest of science wept
when he saw wba: was happening, and
Is Inclined to regr-et that he is not a: lib
erty to withdraw his offer.
Sf. Santos-Dumont. who Is of .1 re-mark-rb'y
sanguine nature and has a
great fortune at command, wr.uld fm

that the chief value of their efTirts con

CHINESE COAL PRODUCTION.
New York Commercial.
It Is only one of the many remarka
ble things about China relating chiefly
to the tardiness of ber industrial and
commercial development that, with a
vast area of coal fields of ber own, she
ls still an Importer of coal. In ltt H the
importation of coat Into China amount
ed to S5S.ST0 tons, valued at .VS:nS.:i
taels, and 6HR4 tons of It went in by
way of Shanghai; in ISSS the Importa
tions aggrvfrateJ only T3iW4 tons, from
which it would appear tha; they arc in
creasing lns:ed o? decreasing.
I; Is asserted on the blg-hes: authority
:hat tru Chimse anthracite fields are
the most extensive in the world, nnd
th, bituminous il?:,s ire fully cjual
:o those of the I'tilte! Stat Still the
ontv de;MSit,' that are syst.itvt.it. M.ly
exploited are th.e In the province of
Chl-ll. known as the Kalpir.g "pit." ' 1
lying cl. se to the line of the Tten'sln
Taku Itiiiway. The coal mined there
is of excellent quality, and. 0:1 bei.ig
made into coak. produce only T per
cent of ashes, while Jipanese coal leaves
up to tO per cen; of ashes. Some other
shafts are also being worked, but this is
done in a moa; primitive manner. The
coal Is obtained only from declivities in
the mountains, and the shafts are driven
only to the depth of the ground water.
Although so far the shafts have be.n
sunk only to insignificant depth, and
although the coal founl near the grounl
surface Is, as la usual with ail Jep s.ts.
of a quality Inferior to tha: lying at
greater depths, nevertheless th, pits ,n
the lower Tangtsxe va!i?" and i s vi
cinity have yielded samples of mthrl
cite tha; contained less ;h.in J. 3 per
ent of ashe.
There wi'.l be millions in coal-mini is
in China some day and rt soaKOoa.
when the development of the ountry
has created a demand for the fuel. At
pres'nt what is mined there is of 'it.le
or no account In tra le-it serves merely
to cover private requirements. Lt-ss
than S'WO") tons of coal wer; consume !
in China Itself In UJ?. anl of tha: '.12,
S15 tons came from the Kaiping "pit."
Foreign steamers, chifrty, consumed ;he
balance of the home proiuct and the
imoor:a:ior.s. And few of them coal at
China ports from choi.-. their owners
preferring the Japanese v.il furnish.-l
at the Nagasaki station.
