Washington Sept. i.-The calamity involved In
the recent forest fires gives interest 10 the re-
ports OF the Forestry Division OF the Agricultural
Depa rtment the subject Of previous raVages
OF similar character.
The department sent out. early in the present
year circulars OF inquiry to all parts OF the coun-
try as to previous fires but replies to about two
nfths only were received. The estimates COM
piled from these partial replies show the follow
ing devastation In 1893:
PRAIRIE FIRES.

Damage to buildings crops etc......'.'''''' F""'"-
FOREST FIRES.

A total loss Of property was reported amount
ing 81 233.0do and replies were received from
about only two-hfths Of the circulars OF inquiry,
this estimate should probably be doubled The re-
ports show that these destructive fires are mainly
due to carelessness.
The following are extracts from a circular is
