Far down In the recesses of the housa
Of commons, beneath the feet Of un-
suspecting senators, lisa spectacle which,
II il could be exhibited In a public place
In London, would send a thrill Of horror
through the community. Its vast layer
Of what at irst sight looks like cotton
wool that has been first dragged through
the Thames mud and finally sprinkled
over with ink. Originally it was a mass
of virgin white cotton wool. For many
years the resident engineers have been
battling with the fog. They have modi-
fed its effects within the house, but
never till now have they succeeded In
absolutely conquering it.
A layer Of cotton wool is prepared,
and the air, drawn from outside, is sim
ply driven through it by force Of a
steam fan. The bed of cotton wool is six
inches thick. and the area in use has
extended over 500 feet. The effect Of
the process is simply startling. If thii
filth had not been arrested by the layer
Of cotton wool it would have passed
into the house and into the lungs OF
honorable members. -Galignani's Mes

square. After he had eaten breakfast

went TO the office of the hotel and
asked TO be directed to the Young Mems

ty-third street and Fourth avenue. The
clerk told him that the green cars going
down Broadway and through Twenty
third street would take him right there.
The bishop, however, said that he
wanted to walk, and he had been in
formed that the Christian association
building was Just across the park"
