Dust and Fog.-Bcneilcial Effects Of
Smoke.

MI. John Aitken recently read a paper
before the Royal Society Of Edinburgh on
the origin Of fogs, mists and clouds. From
great number Of experiments with moist
air at different temperatures, to determine
the conditions which produce condensation
Of water vapor, he concludes that when.
ever water vapor condenscs in the atmos.
phere, it always does SO on some solid
nucleus; that dust particles in the air form
the nuclei an which the vapor condenses {;
that # there were no dust there would BE-
no fogs, no clouds, no mists, and probably
no rain; and that the supersaturated air
would convert every object, ON the surface
Of the earth into condenser on which it
would deposit as dew; lastly, that our
breath, when it becomes visible on frosty
morning, and every puff Of steam, as it
escapes into the air from an engine, show
the impure and dusty state Of the a.,aos-

The Electric Lighting Of Mines.

AT one OF the sessions Of the American
Institute Of Mining Engineers. in philadel.
phia, the Edison system Of electric lighting
as applied to mining, was described by Mr.
A. o. Moses. The method adapted is very
simple. Wires run from the dynamo.ele..
trio machines to the different workings
supplying light 10 the shaft on their way
Each lamp may, If desired, be immersed in
water, or NAV be protected from fracture
BY coarse wire screen; the connections
can all be made under water, and thus
lamps may be put in or out Of the circuit
without the slightest danger from the cleo.

Far too much importance, the speaker
thought, has been attached tn the conse-
quences that may arise from leading wires
into mines for conveying electricity, nota-
bly, by such high authority as Mr.. Preece,
the English telegraph engineer, but his de.
ductions are not sustained by facts.
One Of the most important advantages Of
the electric light in coal mines is in obvia.
ting the necessity of Theoretically sealing
up old or temporarily abandoned workings.
Another is their prompt availability at
times when light is Of the most vital i'm.
portance, when many lives may be in jeop-
ardy after explosions, and dangers are ,nul-
tiplied on every hand, when everything
