The main building was valued at ?ir>,000. The clothing of prisoners, tedding, furniture and fixtures of the building was a tc^tal loss. Most of the convicts were driven from thtlr leds in their night clothes.

Vast Amount of Work Done in Govern ment Office. Some idea of the vast amount of work that is done in the government printing offices annually can be gained from the figures just completed for the type composition for last year. More than 3,000 tons of type metal were used in making 1,963,899,000 ems of type of every description. If the individual lines of type were placed end-to-end they would stretch over a distance of 31,000 miles or more than one and one-fifth times the circumference of the earth. WILLIAM J. FLYNN.

Pest Is Threatening the Cotton Fields of Georgia, It Is Reported. Plans for a vigorous campaign of extermination against the boll weevil, which is threatening to invade the cot ton fields of Georgia within the next year, will be laid at a boil weevil con ference which will be held at the new Auditorium-Armory in Atlanta on No vember 22 and 23. The conference has been called by the chamber of commerce, the state department of agriculture and the state department of entomology, and will be attended by many agriculturists from the southern states. ’ The approach of the boll weevil, which is moving rapidly on Georgia from Alabama, constitutes the greatest menace to the cotton industry in this state and the necessity of immediate action has resulted in the call for a conference to discuss the best meth ods of exterminating the pest. ® 1910, by Amerlcao Pres» Association.
