"Finally, there is one fact that should

For some time it has been known
that dust, as well as fine particles of
commingled water vapor and carbon,
which make up the London fogs. can
be removed from the atmosphere bv
means of brush discharge from an
electric engine. 1t is now seriously
proposed to make use of this interest
ing principle in removing the flour
dust from mills, in which experience
shows that explosions are likely to oc-
cur, to the clearing of tunnels from
smoke, and even to the diminution,
ii not the removal, of those curious
and destructive fogs which affect
cities where bituminous coal is used in
large quantities,
Although this method of condensing
dust and smoke is doubtless practicable
ON small scale il does not seem likely
that it can be used in an effective way
to combat the evil out of doors,
Nevertheless, it is interesting as one Of
the many varied practical experiments
and suggestions which have been
brought before US by the marvellous
progress of electrical Invention. -Bos-
