DEADLY LoNpoN FOG.
Every Ten Days of 1t Kills Two Thousand
Five Hundred Persons.

1t is not necessary to describe the
misery of London fog to any one who
has been compelled to reside in the
metropolis during a few days of its
prevalence. The painful irritation to
the eyes, the choking sensation in the
chest, together with the general de-
preston of spirits and many other all
ments, are the lesser sufferings that
few who are exposed to it escape.
But it is not realized what an amount
one week of London fog causes. 1t
of this terrible visitation kills $500
people, and if we calculate nine seri-
Gus cases of illness to each death, we
have $4,000 people laid upon beds of
sickness, says the Contemporary Re-
UieaO.
To certain extent the cold that al
ways prevails during these dense fogs
may be credited with portion of this
sickness, but not to any great extent,
as neither fog nor cold in country
places produce any such change in the
death rate. There can be little doubt
that the extreme discomfort, as we'll
as the deadliness of the London fog,
arises from the poisonous gases with
which the damp air gets saturated,
and increasingly so the longer the fog
lasts.
The smoke which gives the fog it's
yellow appearance and is so dirty and
unpleasant, is not injurious, being only
carbon; probably, indeed, it prevents
the poisonous gases from doing much
more harm.
The fog, it is needless to say, is
caused by atmospheric conditions,
which keep the lower stratum of air
comparatively stationary and prevent
smoke rising, as it ordinarily does,
even when there is no wind to move
it. Consequently, the air in our
streets remains to great extent un-
changed during the prevalence of a
thick fog, but it by no means remains
in the same state, for the gas generated
in the $500 miles of sewers is rising
through the grids and mixing with the
air, which is also being corrupted by
the emanations from the millions OF
men and animals that live in the
metropolis.
It is difficult to realize how foul
must be the air Londoners breathe
after two or three days of fog, and the
wonder is not that so many are sick
and so many die, but that SO few do
so. The poisonous fog so deteriorates
the vigor of life that, in addition to
its directly injurious influence, it rem
ders the system incapable of resisting
| the cold.
To prevent these fogs seems impos
sible; the draining of marsh land
would probably do something to miti
gate them; the discontinuance of the
use of open fires, or the general use o1
smokeless fuel, would make them less
unpleasant, but they would remain a:
| poisonous as ever.

why Sweet Glover Grove Best
where the Soil has beeu scraped
away-It is a Great Soil ImprOver


Observant farmers have noticed the habit of
the sweet or Bokara clover, Melilotus alba, of
growing in the bottoms of brick yards and in
places along the roadside where the surface
soil has been scraped away. these unpromising
situations apparently being chosen in prefer
ence to more fertile soils Acting on the hint
thus given, the Ohio Experiment Station, in
1888. plowed up, carefully prepared and seeded
to Melilotus a piece of stiff clay land, part of
which had been stripped of its soil some years
before for brick making, and which had since
been very unsatisfactory for tillage. The Mel
ilotus was allowed to grow up and fall down.
reseeding the ground until the fall Of 1891 when
quarter acre of the original patch was plowed
and sown to wheat. the same quantity OF SINH
lar land adjoining, which had been kept under
rotation of corn. oats and wheat. being prepar-
ed and sown at the same time and in the same
manner. The result was a yield of 1876 bushels
OF wheat per acre from the land which had
been cropped in rotation, while that which ad
grown melilotus yielded at the rate of 26 Q bu
per acre. and is again self seeded with dense
growth of melilotus,
This experiment alone is not conclusive
Probably the " heat crop would have been in
| creased as much at the end of one year as by
| four years growth of melilotus, but it was de
sired to study the habit OF the plant in Other
respects. especially that of self-seeding and
! continuous growth on the same land, therefore
it was left undi sturbed until it had demonstrate
| ed its ability to maintain itself,
The result is offered as a suggestion to farm
ers who have refractory and unproductive clay
which they may wish to ameliorate cheaply. 1t
must be remembered. however. that the mslilo
| tus has the habits of a weed and must be KEEP
| in check, but this is easily done.
AS the melilotus belongs to the same family
of plants as the clover, it will be understood
that its growth probably ADDS actual fertility
to the soil. in addition to the physical improve
ment produced by its deep growing roots. 1

of employees was 1907. and the wages paiu

statistics from which to estimate the extent OF
the river fisheries but it is safe to say that the
value of this branch of the industry, and catches
