Glendale Wood and Coal Company Barn
 Goes up in Smoke.

Glendale had one of the most dis astrous fires in a long time Monday night. About ten o'clock great light burst out against the sky in the west part of town. Shots were fired, and it was seen that the barn occupied by the Glendale Wood and Coal company of which w. R. F'urrey is the proprie- tor was a mass of flames. The build ing was leased by Furrey from w. F. Hewett and Furrey has been conduct ing his business there for several months past. MT. Furrey had run his automobile into the barn earlier in the evening and as it was not locked, it is supposed that some hobo found it a comfortable place to sleep and probably lighted a match which caught the hay. The heaviest loss to Mir. Furrey will be his auto which was completely melted

A PAST INTENCONTtNENTAL
 CONNECTION.

In MededeeIingen Van Rijks Herba- rum for 1912. printed at Leyden, Hans Haller has an interesting article on former land bridges and plant and hu- man migrations between Australia and America.
 At the outset he refers to earlier con- clusions, based on botanical evidence. that Indonesia Australia and Polynesia at one time formed a great Australian peninsula, most of which subsequently sank. either wholly or in part. leaving the mountains of Tasmania. New Zea- land. New Caledonia, the Louisades. New Guinea, the Moluccas, Celebas, the Philippines. F'ormosa, etc. to serve as centers of plant dispersal between China and Polynesia, these being sep arated by deep sea from the moun- tains of Eastern Australia.
 In earlier times the peninsula was connected by land with America the northern boundary of this bridge ex- tending from Southern Japan through the Sandwich and Revilla GigedO isl ands of Lower California, while the southern limit seems to have passed by way of the Society and Paumotu islands, from Tasmania through the Auckland, Campbell, Antipodes and Chatham groups, and thence through Easter island. Sala " Gomez and Juan Fernandez to the south of Chile
 The evidence of community of origin of the flora of this area, and of the re- lationships of language-roots, is too elaborate to be put into brief space: but reference may be made to certain American designs considered to repre- sent lamas, but. according to the au- thor, intended for kangaroos.
 After stating that from linguistic evidence, Southern Asia should be re- garded as the dispersal center for the life of Indonesa and Polynesia. and re- ferring to the community of type be- tween ancient Egyptian. American and South Asiatic art, the author expres- ees the opinion that Egyptian and American culture travelled from a South Asiatic art the author expresses the opinion that Egyptian and Ameri- can culture travelled from a South Asatic source by two routes, one to Africa and the other by way of Indo- nesia and Polynesia to America Lon 1 don Correspondence New York Times

nections about 25,572. GOO This com pares with 645.000 and 23,4 S4,OO0 in 1911. Speaking broadly this means that the daily average of telephone conversations last year reached 26,- 31O.0OO or at the rate of about S,472, ,000 900 for the year as against 24,129, 900 in 1911 when the rate was TITO, 900, 900 a year.
 Theodore N Vail, president of the company gives some highly interest ing statistics comparing the tele- phone traffic in the United States and Europe with the operations of the mail and telegraph services. Taking the last available figures-those for the year 1911--the records may be thus summarized
