London, Jan. 31.-The correspond
ent at Warsaw of the Daily Mail tele-
graphs:
Street fighting continues and the
mob is growing in dangerous fashion.
There have been frequent collisions
between the people and the soldiers.
Revolutionists attacked the. troops
with revolvers and knives. The prin-
cipal disturbances Monday occurred
In Noviswiat street, leading business
thoroughfare
"At eleven o'clock Sunday night
regiment Of infantry marched to
this thoroughfare from Smolna street
when somebody fired on them, where
upon the troops were ordered to form
a square and fire from four sides.
"Any criticism of the troops must
be qualified by the fact that they are
fighting under trying conditions, being
constantly exposed to snipers and &C.
casionally stabbed by passersDy.
"There have been many sad cases of
wholly innocent people shot accident
ly as they turned street corners, but
there has been q comparatively small
death roll
Fighting was renewed Monday
morning, people firing from their
houses on the troops in Niviswiat
street.
Shops Plundered.

nopoly shop unframed. All have been
plundered and most of them have been

Mine Haulage by Man Power.

From the Engineering Magazine.
Human haulage with sleds and baskets
holding about 100 pounds is said to exist
even at this date in some of the very thin
iron-stone and coal mines of Great Britain,
and it u.s. of course. common in out-of-the-
way countries, where labor is very cheap.
Training under somewhat better condi-
lions is still very largely employed in all
countries. Even in collieries where the
seams are thick, cars are moved at the
face and trammed short distances. In thin
seams, especially where the long-wall sys-
tenn is used, this hand tramming is carried
on to much greater extent, as roads high
enough for horse or power haulage have to
be cut partly in rock, and are therefore too
costly to be very close together. In metal
mines, which usually have several leyels
working at once, each with comparatively
short hauls, human labor is still more COM
monty used, and probably 90 per cent. II
not 95 per cent, of all ore both in America
and elsewhere is still trammed from the
working places clear through to the shaft
by human labor.

Iron, Coal, Petroleum.
from the International Review.


In the first centuries of the iron age the
requisition was much less than pound
each year for each person. Four CEN
turtles ago it probably did not exceed, even
in the most civilized countries. ten pounds
per capita each year. 1t appears to have
been at something like that rate when the
English colonies were founded in North
America. At the present time in the United
States it is at the average rate of about
400 pounds per annum for every man,
mand is increasing with startling rapidty.
1t seems eminently probable that before
the end of the present century, unless
checked by a great advancement Of cost,
1t will require ton of iron each year to
meet the progressive desires of this In
satable man.
When the American English colonies were
founded coal had hardly begun to come
into use in any country. 1t is doubtful
If the output of the world amounted at
that time to 100000 tons, possibly to not
more per capita of the folk in Europe
than a pound, or about the same as iron at
that late period in the so-called Iron
age" At the present time the total pro-
amounts to an average Of at least two
tons per each unit of the population, and
the increase goes on at high ratio.
Petroleum, practically unknown to the
occidental peoples until about half a CEN
fury ago has with wonderful rapidity be-
come a necessity to all civilized any many
barbaric peoples; the increase in the rate
Of consumption is swifter than that Of any
other earth product.
