THE SCtiAJNTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1900.
LIVE NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WORLD
A WORD AS TO THE WORLD'S
IRON OUTPUT.
The Bemnrkrtblo Demand for It Mny
Mean That the Raw Material Will
riay Out Make-up of tho D., L. &
W. Board for Today riremen to
Re Promoted to Engineers Build
ing Trades of Sail Tranclsco De
mand nn Eight Instead of n. Ten
Day Tonight's Meeting.
Editorially, the noston Advertiser
eays: "Not tho least nmonp many pro
foundly startling phenomena which
nrisc out of tho stupendous material
developments of tho century now clos
ing Is tho fact that during tho past
100 years there has come to be nn un
precedented demand for certain o
those natural resources which exist
only In a llxcd quantity that can
not ho Increased. At any rule, there
nre no means known to science for
Increasing tho quantity. A familiar ex
ample Is that of coal. Tho Invention of
the steam engine created such a de
mand for coal that more of It Is con
sumed now In one year than was con
sumed In 100 yeais In any former epoch.
Men of science bid us consider what
we are to do, or rather what our chil
dren aro to do when the coal supply
Is exhausted, as tho men of science
pay It will bo long before tho end of
tho next century.
"Wo do not know that any similar
nlarm has been raised about the Iron
fiupply, but wo aro expecting every
day to learn that some man whoso
name Is great In science Is out with a
prediction that mankind will presently
have exhausted nil available deposits
In tho Iron mines of the world. At
tho same time, with the appalling
consumption of coal there has come
to ho a nearly proportionate Increase
In the use of Iron.
"To Illustrate, we need only allude
to something which has taken place so
lately as since the close of our Civil
AVnr. "Within these 35 years Iron has
heen substituted for wood as the prin
cipal material used In building ships
of war. Tho 'wooden walls of England'
liavo beomo Iron walls, and more re
cently steel walls. Of steel also nre the
naval armaments of every maritime
power on earth. A similar change,
though not quite so materially com
plete, has taken place in tho stiuc
ture of ships for use as mercantile
nnd passenger vessels. Predictions
from high Industrial authority are
that within tho next few years the
use of iron and steel, In all kinds of
building operations, will bo vastly
more extensive than It has ever yet
been."
Breaker Boys on Strike.
Tho breaker hoys at tho Mt. Pleasant
colliery went out on strike yesteiday
for some alleged grievance, and when
company men were called In to take
their places, the stilkois made threats
to do them bodily harm.
A patrolman was called nnd dis
persed the ciowd. The company otlic
lals will adjust tho trouble, and In nil
jiioliabillty the boys will return to
wotk this morning.
To Promote Firemen.
About twenty-live engineers on tho
Lackawanna railroad aro off duty,
owing to sickness, disability, vacations
and other causes, and In consequence
several llremen will be promoted.
Trainmasters P. P. Hamilton, J. W.
Honan, J. C. Ferris and J. O. Sickles
hrld an cxamlantlon at Hoboken yes
terday for that purpose, and the pro
motions will be made In a few days.
Our Rails Abroad.
The Tradesman observes that "In
no feature- of our export trade has
there been a more remarkable growth
during the decade thai. In rails for
railways, especially those of steel. The
total expoitatlon of Iron rails In 1SS9
was but 7 tons, nnd in 1S9S, 2,769 tons,
tho value rising from $210 In 1SS9 to
$37,150 In 1S&S. In steel rails, however,
the growth was even mere remarkable,
tho number of tons exported In 1SS9
being 7.39S and In 1S9S, 29,783, while
the value Increases from $233,3S7 In
1SS9 to $i,C13,37C In 1S9S, and in the
fiscal year 1900 seems likely to reach
$S,000.000.
This Increase has heen especially
marked during the past three years,
the exports of steel rails In the llscal
year 1S9G being $310,797, those of 1S97
$2,482,208, those of 189S $l,G13,370, nnd
thoso of 1899 I3.2SS, 323, while the first
ten months of tho present fiscal year
show a gain of about $2,000,000 over
the corresponding months of last year.
While this rapid Increase Is due to
The man tangled iu the tape from
the ticker is the type of the average
business man. His business cares
wrap him about like the coils of a
constrictor and slowly crush out his
life. The common sign of the busi
ness man's slavery is "weak stom
ach," the natural consequence of the
rapid eating, the indigestible pastry,
the coffee and pie or doughnuts,
with which many n man stuffs his
stomach under the name of "quick
lunch." The quickest way back to
a strong stomach and sound health
is to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
cal Discovery until perfectly cured.
It goes to the root of disease. It
removes the cause of ill-health.
It makes more blood and better
blood, and this blood nourishes
every organ in the body to the
highest point of vigorous health.
During the summer and fall of iBoS ,
writes Cua. II. Sergeant, Esq., of Main
City, Madison Co., Ohio, "I became oil
'run down,' nerves were out of order. I
wrote to Dr. I'ierce for uiHice, He ald I
had general debility, am) advised Doctor
Meter's Golden Medical Discovery, and,
thanks to you for your advice, I used six
bottles; and since I stopped taking it about
one year ago, I have not taken nuy medi
cine of any kind, and Max bun ablt to uotk

countries showing tho most marked
growth In their purchases of steel rails

Tho various telegraph operators of

ling of the switchboard In the form of
ten questions, and as many diagrams,
the Idea being to use ono diagram for

cating every operator's ability. Gen
