ing of February 8th, fire broke out in 

 one of the new buildings of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture. The flames 

 had gained considerable headway be- 

 fore they were discovered by a watch- 

 man. The blaze was confined to a 

 room in the basement in which were 

 stored records and supplies belonging 

 to the Bureau of Plant Industry. 

 Many of the records were destroyed. 

 The loss to the Government will not 

 be fully known until the officials of 

 the bureau have had opportunity to 

 investigate, but it will reach into the 

 thousands of dollars. The fire was 

 caused by the explosion of a barrel of 

 alcohol used in preserving plant speci- 

 mens.
