From the Contemporary Review.
1t is not necessary TO describe the misery of
a London fog to any one who has been COM
PEELED TO reside in the metropolis during a few
days Of it, prevalence. The painful irritation
to the eyes, the choking sensation in the chest,
together with the general depression O.
spirits and many other ailments. are the
lesser suderings that few who are exposed to it
escape. But 1t IL not vet realized what an
amount Of serious illness or how many deaths
one week Of London fog causes 1t may be ac-
copied that every ten days of this terrible visi-
tation kills 1850 people, and if We calculate
nine serious cases OF illness to each death, We
have $4,000 people laid upon beds Of sick
ness.
To certain extent the cold that always pre-
walls during these dense fogs may be credited
with portion of this sickness. but not to any
great extent, a. neither fog nor cold in country
places produces any such change in the death
rate. There can be little doubt that the extreme
discomfort. as well as the deadliuess of the
London fogs. arises from the poisonous gases
with which the damp air gets saturated, aud
increasingly 80 the longer the fog lasts. The
smoke, which gives the fog its yellow appear
ance, and is 70 dirty and unpleasant il not in
juriOus, being only carbon; probably, indeed,
il prevents the poisonous gases from doing
more harm.
The fog, it il needless to say, il caused by
atmospheric conditions which keep the lower

ordinarily does even when there is no
wind to move IT. Consequently the air
In our streets remains TO q great ex-
tent unchanged during the prevalence of
q thick fog. but it by no means remains
in the same state, for the gas generated in the
