LIcoRIcE HARVEST m SYRIA.

Gathered in Sacks and Carried on CameIs
to the Seaboard for Export.
In a series of articles describing the
planting, cultivation, preparation for
market and transplantation of 1icorice
root, appearing in the Pharmaceutical
Era, there is the following interesting
descriptive bit: In digging licorice
root in Syria the usual way is to start
trench the length of the place to be
dug over, about two feet in length, and
work from that, each man placing in n
pile the root he has dug, and at the
end of the day or longer time it is
taken to the scales, weighed and paid
for at specified rate per pound. An
allowance is always made for the dirt
that clings to the roots. The root is
then spread out for few days to slight
ly dry and piled in stacks about three
feet wide and four. or five feet high.
rounded off at the top in order to shed
rain, and the piles are narrow enough
to prevent heating. At the end of the
rainy season the root is spread out to
dry for about two months, being
turned over from time to time, during
which process all the adhering earth
dries and falls off, leaving it clean
and ready for transport to the point of
shipment. 1t is then put into canvas
sacks, each containing from two hun
dred to two hundred and fifty pounds,
two sacks being load for camel or
a mule.
For the transportation of the root
from the place where dug to the port
of shipment, varying from two to five
days journey, a contract is usually
made with some Arab or Bedouin sheik
for a certain amount of cantars (of
about five hundred pounds each) at
certain price, he to furnish camels and
men and the owner to furnish and fill
the sacks. About fifty came1s go in
one caravan or drove, for which five
men are sufficient. Sometimes, if one
hundred camels are used, the caravan
goes in sections; one man riding
donkey leads the first camel and the
rest follow the leader, while the other
men walk, keeping any camel from
straying or tagging too far behind.
They usually start early in the morn
ing, and go ten or fifteen miles, when
a halt is made, the loads are taken off
and the camels are allowed to browse
on the thorn or other bushes for three
or four hours, then loaded again and
about the same. distance travelled, when
they are again unloaded and the night
is spent in the open air and an early
start made the next morning. And so
on until the seaboard is reached, where
they are unloaded, the root is weighed,
the sacks emptied and returned to be
again reflled in the fields for another
trip. On the Euphrates and Tigris the
root is obtained near the banks of the
rivers and, after being properly dried,
is loaded in bulk on native boats called
bugalows, carrying from fifty to one
hundred tons,. which float down the
river or sail if the wind is favorable, or
at times are towed by men as far down
as Bassorah, where the root is un-
loaded and pressed in bales ready for
shipment.

How the Electric Headlight Is Now Used
Numerous Railroads.

How the Electric Headlight Is Now Used
Numerous Railroads.
The electric headlight is now used on
many railroads, and w. B. Sparks, who
is interested in a southern road, re-
Gently told writer for the Pittsburgh
Dispatch that his company had found
it very profitable investment. The
lights cost about three hundred and
seventy-five dollars each, fixed on the
locomotive, and they cost no more
than the oil light to maintain. The
old headlight would not throw it's
light on a very dark night more than
one hundred and fifty feet, and it is
impossible for an engineer to slow
up his train in that distance, even
with the emergency brake. Quite an
item in the expense of the road used
to be claims for cattle killed. During
the rainy season the lands along the
line of the road become very wet-in
places they are entirely covered with
water and the cattle come upon the
track seeking some dry spot on which
to sleep. When the old headlight was
in use as many as thirteen cows have
been killed at one time and the damage
claims have sometimes amounted to
over one thousand dollars per month.
Now the electric light throws its rays
from half to three-quarters of mile
in front of the engine. DISTINCTIONS
can be easily seen at that distance and
some of the engineers insist that a
| switch disk can be more easily made
out by it at night than in the daytime.
The lights, moreover. do away with
switch lights, which is quite a saving
to roads that use them to any great
extent. Mr.. Sparks says that the en-
gines using the electric headlights on
his road have never killed cow, and
he is confident that the saving in stock
claims alone will more than pay for all
the headlights on the road within two
| years.
