The Licorice Plant.

The licorice plant resembles a rose
with single green stem. reaches a
height of about three feet and bears a
small purple star shaped flower. The
first years root growth resembles n
loosely twisted string of tow and may
run to twenty feet in length. The Sec
ond year it assumes woody sub
stance when dry. and the third year it
acquires its commercial value. The
time for digging the root is the win
ter. when it is dried and crushed un-
der heavy stones drawn round on it
by mules. much as olives are crushed
to extract their oil.

MEASURES ATTITUDES.
The Use Of the earograph on Aero
planes and Balloons.

planes and Balloons.
What the compass is to the mariner
the barograph is to the aviator. The
barograph is an instrument for meas.
uring attitudes. The pressure Of the
air as it increases or decreases causes
Il delicate needle to trace wavy line
upon cylinder which revolves by
clockwork. This line indicates not
only the exact height that is reached
by the aviator, but also the speed at
which he is travelling.
The barograph is kept in a weather
proof box with Il glass front, which is
attached to bar Of the aeroplane or
to rope on the balloon. 1t is official
~ sealed before the aviator embarks,
SO there is no possibility Of tampering
with it, and the seal is taken of in
the presence of witnesses at the END
OF the flight. In this way it is posi-
bic to establish absolutely and graph
ically the altitude which an aviator
attains in his aeroplane or balloon.
1t is necessary for the aviator to
watch the barograph constantly. as it
indicates a change in the elevation al
most to the foot. The sky pilot has to
keep his eye on the indicator much as
the man at the wheel of the seagoing
ship watches his compass. Should the
aeroplane or the balloon rise or fall
ten or twenty feet the aviator would
not be conscious Of it unless he looked
at the wavering needle tracing its
permanent record on q chart before
him. This tells him Immediately Of
any changes III the nature Of the air
currents and gives him timely warning
Of aerial dangers.
These instruments are so delicate
and SO accurate. it is said. that man
might hang one Of them about his
neck in its glass case or carry it in his
hand and climb fight of stairs, the
height Of his ascent being graphically
indicated by the linked needle on the
machine.-New York Press.

Stockmen Battle With Indians.

BILLINGS, Nov. 81. - Alva Otter
Bull was instantly killed and Red
Star and Peter Paul were seriously
wounded as the result OF . shooting
ARRAY which occurred late yesterd ay
afternoon on the border line of the
Crow reservation and Carbon couu<y.
All three are members of the Grow
tribe, Red Star being an Indian po.
liceman.
The shooting is said to have been
done by Mike Roth, stockman, as
the result of attempts by the Indians
to drive some of his horses to the
Pryor sub.agency. The two wounded
Indians were brought to the hos spital
in this city today and it is understood
that Roth is in the custody of the
sheriff at Red Lodge.
From various sources it is reported
that settlers in the Sage creek couu.
try have been having more or less
trouble for several months on account
of their stock getting across the line
into the Indian territory, 10 which
event the animals invariably are
rounded up and taken to Pryor and
the owners are required to pay 81 per
head for them. Whether the redskins
have been driving stock across the
line or not is not known here, but
such is claimed by the settlers.
. A report came from Bridger today
tha the Indians were up in arms over
the result OF the shooting and that the
white people in the Sage creek country
were becoming alarmed and were
their families to that town.

Moston, Mass, May.4.-For a con-
sideration of SI,5OO,OOO deal was
consumInated yesterday for the pur-
chase of the Spar copper properties
at Whitpine camp, Gunnison county,
Colorado, by the United Mining &
Holding company of this city.
The property passed from the
hands of Mrs. Josephine Hhayer Tutt,
eXecutrix of the estate of Charles L..
Autt, on an option held by Dan G.
Tobin, formerly of Leadville.
The properties formerly were own
ed by Charles l.. Tut, who died few
years ago. He was conspicuous in
early Western mining history, who
was one of the originators of the
theory of working out the concentra-
tions of the vast deposits of low grade
copper prophyry, calcopyrite ores. out
of which he made millions of dollars
in the state of Colorado.
The sale is regarded as an import
ant one in Colorado mining deals. The
mines consist of fifty-five acres of
patented claims developed by 1900
feet of tunnels driven on a series of
rich fissure veins. disclosing six long
ore chntes with 900 feet of vertical
back Stopping on proven ore bodies
winch Will run to average the lead
ores Is per cent, fifty ounces Of sill
yer and 50 In gold, while the copper
ores developed in the copper veins
will net from S35 to $O5 per ton
above all fixed charges and will carry
in addition to the fine percentage of
copper present from seventy-five to
1874 ounces of silver.

A week ago, down at Montrose.
young man was repairing an auto
mobile when drop of hot oil caused
slight burn on his hand. So trivial
was the injury that no attention was
paid to it, and the incident had been
forgotten when suddenly an aggra-
waited case of blood poisoning de-
veloped in the armpit involving the
whole arm. For several DAYS the
young man hovered between life and
death suffering extreme tortures his
life and arm finally being saved. This
forcibly demonstrates how important
1t Is that seemingly insignificant in
turies should be carefully watched.
The only safe plan when a slight cut
or bruise is sustained is to visit a
physician and have the injury care
fully examined and dressed. Many
limbs have been lost and some lives
by blood poisoning resulting upon an
insignificant wound that was neg
lected.-Telluride Journal.

RECLAMATION SHAKEUP
OF ENGINEERS IS
ALMOST CERTAIN
Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Washington, May 1.-The house
has passed bill to increase the num-
Der of Officers i'm the engineer CORPS
from lSS to 2iS. The bill was amend-
ell on the floor of the house by the
adoption of clause of particular sig
nificance to the West, in that il ptD-
vides that the president in his dis
cretion may detail any engineer Of
ficers of the army to supervise or in
spect the construction of any enpi-
neering project being built by the
government.
IL the bill passes the senate with
this provision retained, IL will enable
the president to place the inspection
or supervision of government irriya-
ton projects under army engineer
Officers. Since the advent of the
present administration covert threats
have been made that If the plans of
the director and chief engineer of the
reclamation service were not follow
ed, there might be general walkout
from the service Of the engineers
employed on the various unfinished
projects to the embarrassment of the
present secretary of the interior and
the president.
While it Is not believed the engi-
neers of the service generally have
been responsible for these threats, it
is certain they have been made and
the proviso in the engineers increase
bill has the sanction of the admins
tration as measure of protection
and for the purpose of completing
government reclamation works under
the supervision of army engineers, ii
forced to do so by any general walk
out movement on the part of civilian
engineers.

Washington, May 4.-Roughly ly
speaking, 25,00O,OO0 people have
been forbidden to expectorate in pub
lie places, and in 1909 only 3.42i
arrests for violation of these anti
splitting ordinances were made. This
fact indicates to Robert j. Newton.
secretary of the municipal commits
sion on tuberculosis of st. Louis that
the laws and ordinances forbidding
splitting are not enforced except in
few cities and there only OCCASION
ally.
Mr.. Newton's paper on THE En-
forcement of AntiSpitting Laws,
read today before the sociological
section of the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis, was based upon a careful
study of the laws and ordinances to-
gether with the methods OF enforce
ment in IA cities and Z states.
The first anti-spitting ordinance
was passed by New York City in
1896, West Newton being the second
city and Sacramento, Cal, the third.
In 43 cities the police are sup
posed to enforce the law; in 16 cit
les the health officers have this duty,
and in IL cities both police and the
health officers are responsible. The
cities where the law is enforced by
health officers show the largest num-
ber of arrests, as evidenced by the
following table:
