Wealth From Sage Brush.

HAMMOND, Ind, April 24.-Sylves-
ter Sparling, an employe of the Reid,
Murdoch company of Chicago, has
patented process that will convert
the sagebrush of the great barren
western wastes into millions of money
and utilize it in q scientific way. A
company OF Hammond business men
will incorporate for a quarter of a
million of dollars to subscribe for the
erection of q plant in Nevada, which
will make the utilization of sagebrush
possible.
The product to be derived from the
western weed is potash, obtained now
from wood by the Sparling process.
Sixty-one per cent of potash is found
in sagebrush ashes, where the wood
ashes only contain 2l per cent. This
is due to the fact that the desert plants
take up more mineral than those which
do not grow in an alkaline soil. In
addition to potash, wood alcohol, oil
of creosote and acetone are by.pro.
ducts obtained from sagebrush.

NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-Prob-

and many times this number painfully
hurt, together with q property loss
running into the millions, is the re-
cord so far of a tornado that origi-
mated in the West two days ago,
sweeping Texas, Arkansas. Louisi ana,
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. 1t
has left path of death, desolation
and want in its wake, seriously inter-
rupted all communication between
cities in the South and brought about
chaotic conditions in many smaller
towns.
Mississippi, already sufferer from
more than one tornado this year, has
again borne the brunt Of the winds
and rains. Estimates of the number
OF those who lost their lives in that
state place the number between $50 and
l7o, with thousand or more injured.
In Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and
Georgia the death lists are also large,
with serious loss of life in Arkansas
and Tennessee. Authentic informa-
tion is in many instances lacking, ow.
ing to the crippled facilities for COM
munic alton, and the lack of time to
form anything like an accurate esti.
mate OF the damage cone il many sec.

Several places have issued appeals
for aid and in Mississippi, Governor
Noel has been asked to provide tents

The tornadoes lasted in all a period
OF nearly two days. 1t was Thursd ay
night that damage by tornadoes trav.
cling eastward was first reported from
points in Texas. This was followed
during the next "a hours by similar
reports from Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Tennessee. Last night
Alabama came within the fight OF the
