A Marvel Of Plant Distribution.

Mr.. Knowlton corrcates the Jura =
sic flora OF Alaska with that of east
ern Siberia and CONCLUDES that the
land connection between North Amer
lea and Asia at this early period Of the
world must have been practically con-
tinuous. In reviewing the character
and geographic range of Jurassic flor
as, especially as developed in Arctic
and Antarctic regions. he states that
the wide aerial distribution of middle
and upper Jurassic floras has long
been one of the marvels of plant dts
trihution. The living flora of today,
of course, affords many Individual eX-
amples Of wide distribution, such as
those found throughout the tropics of
both hemispheres and others, chiefly
weeds, that have, largely through hui
man agencies. spread widely over tn"
temperate lands, but altogether these
plants form hut an insignificant part
of the whole flora. whereas In Jurass
time a large percentage of the whole
flora was practically world wide In its
range.

cal vegetation, It has been found, pre-

Metal Mine Accidents in 1912

The bureau of mines has just issued
IN interesting and valuable pamphlet
showing in much detail the metal mine
accidents during the calendar year
1872 compiled by Albert II. Fay. The
Introductory and some general stalls

hat additional and more detailed ex-
racts will be published in these col

1T is gratifying to note that the
ABILITY rate in the metal mines of the
United States was lower in 1912 than
in 1911. The total number killed as
reported by the various operators was
i61, in comparison with 695 for the
preceding year. The number of men
