Abolishing London Fogs.

Boston Herald.
The London County Council has turn
ed out to be a remarkably active and en-
terprising body, but when it is said to
be seriously proposing to take up the
problem of abolishing the fogs that have
so long given ilf-repute to that city it
would seem that it is taking a tremen-
dous contract upon its hands. For a
proposition to abolish the London fogs
sounds very much like interfering with
with the order of nature, such as under
taking to stop snOwstorms, or, like Gen
Dyrenforth, attempting to shake rain
out of the sky. But when it is consid-
cred that the terrible fogs of London
are of comparatively modern date, that
they did not exist two centuries ago,
and that they are due to human agency,
the undertaking, though still large
one, does net seem unfeasible. The
character of these fogs, which obscure
everything with an almost inky black
ness, and often make noOnday aS dark
as midnight, is due to the clouds OF con-
Sumed carbon poured out by thousands
of chimueys into IA humid, misty at
with natural fog in such way as to
seem almost solid.
The only thing required, therefore, to
pr5velt the fogS Is to provide differ
ent method of combustion This it is pro-
posed to do by establishing municipal
gas wOrks.as has been done very general
ly in other English cities, and producing
gas for fuel purposes on such Il scale
and consequently at SO low a price as to
induce its general adoption by provid-
ing the cheapest method of heating Its
use would be made compulsory, if neces-
sary to the end in view. The advan-
vantage of gas for fuel, however, would
be SO evident that recourse to compul-
sion would hardly be required. The
economy of the innovation would be
very great, for not only do thousands of
tons of coal now pass off unconsumed in
the form of smoke, but the loss caused
by suspension of traffic while the fog
lastS-and they sometimes endure for
days at time-ls enormous.
Mr. B. H Thwaite makes a daring
suggestion in The Contemporary Re
view in this connection. He would
generate the gas in the coal fields Of
South Yorkshire, Staffordshire and South
Wales, and transmit it in pipes to Lon
don under high pressure, as in the case
of natural gas in this country. He esti-
saving over the transportation of coal
Oy rail would be effected, amounting to
total of over S20.000000, which, after
providing for interest on cost, mainte-
nance. etc, while giving consumers the
advantage of fuel at a price much less
than that of coal, leave very large
surplus available for public improve
ments, including the establishment of
the new system of public water supply
that London SO sadly needs.

Using Up the Earth's Stores.

The death of the earth and sun must
both come. and with their death the end
of all life upon this earth, but the human
race of today is taking care that it shall
cease to exist millions of years before
this shall come to pass.
So rapidly have two kinds of accumu
lated earth stores-petroleum and nat
ural gas-been exhausted in America
that within one generation alone stores
which were, millions of years accumu
lating will have been almost wholly ex
hausted. And all this time population
increases SO fast that at the rate of
growth during the last twenty years the
inhabitants of Great Britain in 139 years
time will number more than 100000. 600.
if indeed it were not practically an impos-
sibility for them to exist with only six
square feet of earth surface apiece to

OUR RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
From the report of the Bureau OF
American Republics, just issued, is ob-
tanned table showing the working of
the various reciprocity arrangements
entered into by the United States with
Latin American Republics. The total
value of exports from this country for
the II months of 81 and 80, shows
decline in carriages and cars, sewing
machines, steam engines, leather, lard,
bacon and furniture. But the increase
in other exports overbalance to the
amount of over $7,000,000, or about II
per cent on the whole ii months of 1891.
This is an extraordinarily good showing,
and will be taken as a hint for Mr..
Cleveland in his inaugural address II
advise the Democratic party to ''go slow
on the tariff reform question.
The sum total of of our Latin Ameri-
lean trade is still very small; it is not
more than 100000 or s72,000,000
with the reciprocity countries, and is
doubtless capable of great development
in time.

Electric Cooking and Heating.

Toronto Mail
1t thas recently been estimated that 90
meals for family can be cooked by
electricity at cost of S657, while for
house heating four machines, each doing
the work of an ordinary stove, can be
maintained for about 500 per month,
making bill, say, of Sl2 or Sl3 per
month for the cooking and heating for
family of ordinary size Considering
the usual expensiveness of new intro
ductions in the way of science this
amount appears to be very moderate,
and there is no doubt it will be dimin-
ished rather than increased in practice
In any estimate of the relative value OF
electricity and coal for household pur-
poses the extra cleanliness of the form
er is an important item. The getting
rid of the dust and dirt of coal and ash
eS would he great advance in comfort,
and would no doubt tend to health.
Although the idea of doing without
coal seems to be a wild and fantastic
one, there are points respecting it which
seem to place it within the bounds of
sober possibility. To begin with, there
is no doubt it could be accomplished.
There is nothidg to prevent man of
wealth in Toronto. for instance, carry
ing out the idea at once. He could find
electricians who would supply the neces-
sary apparatus, and he could easily ar
range for a supply of electricity. He
need not have single pound of coal in
his house; cooking utensils are now be-
ing made, to each of which is attached
the resistance or heating coil as a part
of the pot or pan, broiler, or what not
These utensils only want placing in
convenient place for the application of
the current, and at once boiling or stew
ing or anything else in the way of cook
ing can be proceeded with. The eXpe-
diency of such a method is the guaran-
tee of its fultilment. This cannot but
interfere with the trade in fuel, and rs
pecially with the burning and selling of
anthracite coal, the greater part of which
is used for household purposes. The
cheapening of this product, which is sure
TO follow the introduction of electricity
for the household, viii for few years
delay the universal use of domestic elec-
trical apparatus, since numbers of peo-
pie will always patronize that which
costs least money, regardless of comfort
and cleanliness. But once electricity is
introduced in the household in practi-
cal way there is no doubt that the branch
ing out will be very rapid.
Two very important parts of domestic
work are comprised in cooking and get
ting rid of dirt. There seems every
probability that electricity will be adapt
ed to these two departments in a very
practical way. When the mistress can
touch a button in her bedroom and
either turn the girl out of bed or turn
on the current to cook breakfast placed
on the stove the eyenig before; when
neither coal nor ashes afilict her by dust,
and when electric sweepers and washers
are at her service, she will feel as though
the millennium had come.

PUBLIC OPINION.
THE APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.

THE APOSTOLIC DELEGATE.
Pittsburgh Times.
The appointment of Mgr. Satolli as
the direct representative of the Pope to
speak for him in this country is signlti-
cant in several phases. 1t marks
recognition by the Supreme Pontiff that
the differences between the leaders OF
the American episcopacy are so radical
that they require supervision over them,
with authority and inspiration direct
from Rome The Pope has not been
blind to the lesson of the time, that the
growth of intelligence and freedom of
thought in this country is shaking up
the creeds of men. 1t is season OF
mental unrest, inquiry and disputatlon,
and neither the pulpit nor the pew OF the
Roman Catholic Church can expect to
be untroubled by it, Pope Leo has evil
IDENTIFY determined that these troubles
shall not be increased by divided councils
in the leadership of the Church itself.
1t may be also that even his apostolic
patience has been worn thin by his eX-
perience with delegation after delegation
of his American flock going pilgrimage
to Rome for the purpose or laying COM
plants against each other. 1t is signiti-
cant of the future policy of the church
in this country that the delegate who is
stationed here to represent the Pope has
characterized his mission thus far IN
favor of liberalism in dealing with the
great social and educational questions.
It is odd that one who comes from the
midst of monarchy and from under the
very shadow of the tiara itself, should
need 20 teach liberalism to leaders OF
the church in America, but it seems so.
The report that the American bishops
were in conspiracy to cut loose from the
mother church, and set up an American
Pope, is of course too ridiculous fol
serious comment.
