Warrnambool district has been deyas-
tated, and the damage Ia estimated at

neously in various parts Of the colony,
and burned for two days and three

morning Of January 81. The whole
country between Dunkeld and Mort

acres OF grass, six wool warehouses,
1000 sheep and ! 200 cattle and horses.
The latest news from Eoumea prior

effect that the plague had again broken

sides field study. designed chiefly to
discover means of preventing the evil,
the forestry division is making 3 his
troic record OF all important fires which
have occurred in the United States
since 1854. Although yet incomplete,
this indicates that the annual recorded
loss BY forest burnings in the United
States is. at the very lowest, $40, ,000,-
600. It will probably run far above
this sum, as the Pacific coast states
have been only partially examined.
Accounts of over $500 disastrous fires
have been obtained in the II states
already examined. Michigan, Minne-
