Montgomery (Ala) is jubilant over the
prospects Of a through railroad connection
with Kansas City. A prominent railroad
official in that city said recently that plan
had been drawn up for the extension of the
Kansas City, Springfield and Memphis rail
road from Akron to a point in the neigh
horhood of Tupelo, Miss, and there connect
with the Kansas City, Memphis and Biz
mingham railroad, giving Motgomery a
through connection with Kansas City and
the West. The distance from Akron to the
Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham
railroad is only about $50 miles, and the
country between these two points is very
fertile and has not hitherto been traversed
by any railroad. The projectors of this ex-
tension are President Gabbett, OF the Ala
bama Western, and Messrs. Lehman and
Seigman, of New York, who control the
Cincinnati, Selma and Mobile. 1t is thought
work will begin on the new road some time

The Cause and Prevention of Fog.
From the london lance


The fog of London and of other large
towns it is probable, presents to the minds
OF the majority of those who suffer from it
an idea not much less hazy than the aspect
with which it confronts and bewilders their
sense of vision. Comparatively few of the
afflicted care to inquire into the composition
of their tormentor or even to define its cause
with accuracy They may be aware that it
is not all river damp nor vet all smoke; but
the subtletieS of chemical ANALYSIS, how
ever interesting to the professional inquirer,
are for most men lost in general feeling of
present discomfort which is tangiby ag
gressive, unfathomable and unavoidable
Sir Douglas Cation, however, is not one of
those who accept the mystery as such, and
still less is he disposed to let i'll alone and
endure what has not yet been cured. At the
Parkes Museum u few days ago he discussed
at some length ire composition, origin and
practical treatment Of this master evil of
town life. Fortunately his discourse did
not partake of the nature of its subject;
but, after traveIsihg the details of theory,
he was able to point his hearers to certain
defiuite facts of causation and to advocate
remedial measures which, if carried out,
would doubtless prove to certain extent
effectual. According to Sir d. Cations
estimate the fog-laden air of London con-
tains four times as much carbonic acid as its
Ordinary. atmosphere. 1t has been proposed
to meet the difficulty by substituting the
use of gas for that of coal in cooking and
oJher domestic operations. To some extent
this change has been carried out and we
shall probably see it in still wider exercise
A considerable period must elapse, however,
before the open fire is done away with in
favor of a stoye-if, indeed, that day should
ever come.

The numbers who marry seem TO be
steadily decreasing. The figures supplied
under the head of International Vital Sta
tistics, which are tabulated from returns
furnished by the authorities of various
European States, show an all-round fall in
the proportion of marriages.
The falling off in 1886 below the average
of the twenty years 1S6l-lSS0. is very
marked, although not so great as the differ
ence between the rate of 1866 and 1886.
