TEN MILLION BOTTLES OF WHISKY.

Tho great whisky Bra at Dundoe caused damage to tho value of aorno £400,000. Tho Dundee Conner has been making some interesting calculations in connection with tho conflagration. Had the whisky that was consumed been placed in bottles and the bottles laid end to end, they would have made a track of whisky sufficed to guide liners across the Atlantic from Queenstown to very nearly Liberty Statue—a distance of 2,7-14 miles—or to havo made a track from Dundee to Moscow and leave a few miles over. Anything from 1\ to If millonsof gvdlons havo been'destroyed, bub when regard is had to the fact that tho spirits were over proof, and would, consequently, have to be diluted to at least fifteen under proof before being sold for public consumption, the quantity that fell a prey to. the flames would be represented by no less than twelve millions of bottles. ,
