THE DEADLY LONDON FOG.

Every Ten Days of 1t Kills Two Thou
sand Eve Hundred Persons.
1t is not necessary to describe the mis-
cry of a 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 depression of spirits and many
other ailments, are the lesser sufferiu GO
that Few who are exposed to it escape.
But 1t is not yet realized what an
amount of serious illness or how many
deaths n week of London fog aus
1t may be accepted that every ten days Of
this terrible visitation kills $500 people.
and II We calculate nine serious cases Of
illness to each death, we have II, 000 peo-
pie laid upon beds of sickness.
10 q certain extent the cold that always
prevails during these dense fogs may be
credited with q portion of this sickness,
put not TO n great extent, as neither
fog nor cold in country places produces
any such change in the death rate. There
can be little doubt that the extreme dis
comfor t, as we'll as the deadliness Of the
London fog, arises from the poisonous
gases with which the damp air gets
saturated, and increasingly 80 the longer
the fog lasts.
The smoke which gives the fog its yell
~" hPpOol duSO duQ Is 81 ulFUy anu uA-
pleasant is not injurious, having only car
bon; probably. Indeed, it prevents the
poisonous gases from DUNG much more
harm.
The fog. it is needless to say, is caused
by atmospheric conditions which keep the
lower stratum of air comparatively sta
tionary Il prevent smoke from arising,
as 1t ordinarily does. even when there is
no wind to move it. Consequently the
air in our streets remains to a great ex-
tent unchanged 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.
1t 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 mauy are sick and some many die,
but that so lew do so. The poisonous fog
so deteriorates the vigor of life that, in
addition to its direct injurious influence,
1t renders the system incapable of resist
the cold.
To prevent these fogs seems impossible:
the drain of marsh land would probably
do something 20 mitigate them; the dis
continuance of open fires, or the general
use of smokeless fuel, would make them
less unpleasant, but they would remain
as poisonous as eevr. - Contemporary

WANSER'S TAX CHOPPERS.

The Commissioners Of Appeal in cases
OF Taxation, commonly known as Wan
ser's Board of Choppers. held an infor-
NAL meeting last night for the purpose of
making preparations for their work after
the tax bills are issued. 1t is believed by
many persons that the number of people
who will complain to the Board that they
have been unjustly taxed will be much
greater than those who appealed from
the assessments for 1891. The Board
of Appeals will probably meet in the AL
dermanic Chamber as heretofore. No
public meeting will be held until the tax
bills are issued which will probably be
during the latter part of November.
