LONDON'S DEADLY FOG.
England's Death Rate Greatly
Augmented by It.
Bituminous Coal Smoke the Cause OF
Much Sickness In the Great Metropo-
lis-Ideal Hygienic Con-
ditions

After a summer and autumn ah-
normally healthy the death rate in
London has suddenly almost doubled.
The mortality is now above thirty
per one thousand the increase being
most entirely confined to diseases of
the respiratory organs. The cause is
ascribed by nearly everyone to the low
temperature of the past three weeks.
1t never seems to occur to Londoners
that lack of oxygen and the presence
of poisonous gases in the atmosphere of
the metropolis at this season con-
stitute positive danger to health.
The so-calied foggy days of the past
few weeks have brought perhaps
greater discomfort than ever before.
The air has been surcharged with the
fumes of sulphur, carbonic acid gas and
smoke. There has been very little real
fog on the days when it has been as
dark as midnight at MONDAY. The hui
nudity has been as low as with clear
skies in summer. People went about
almost gasping and complaining hope
lessly of what they called the fog.
The London fog can at any time be
banished by law, just as the same sort
of fog has been suppressed in Pitts
burgh and other American cities. The
same statute which dissipates the Lon
don fog will bring another great boon
to the metropolis. 1t will give it com
fortably heated homes in winter. The
million or two great fires of bituminous
coal make the London fog and nothing
else. Occasionally newspaper timidly
suggests that the use of anthracite coal
in stoves and furnaces would Danish
the nuisance, but an apology and ad-
mission of the impracticabiIity of the
suggestion always goes with it. Ex-
pertS have recently reported that there
is sufficient anthracite coal in Wales to
supply all Britain for several genera
tions. The death rate in London will
have to go away above the epidemic
point before an Englishman will give
up his soft coal fires.
Influenza of mild type is again re-
ported from various parts of the coun-
try, but the Lancet, the chief medical
organ, gives the comforting as
SuranCe that there is nothing at all APP
preaching the visitation of past years
nor is the disease likely to become so
severe and extensive again for genera
ton. On the other hand, smallpox has
broken out in an alarming manner in
many large towns and typhoid fever
has assumed an almost epidemic form
in London. Its chief victims so far
have been found among the upper
classes, who, in this metropolis, at any
rate, live amidst hygicnic conditions
which may be said to be almost ideal.
But. for all that, the earl of Londes-
borough, Lord Ilalbridge and several
other peers have been Frustrated by the
dreaded disease and there is reason to
believe that typhoid RACES in n large
number Of west end houses unknown
to the general public. Various causes
have been assigned for this state of
things, but the one most popular
among the masses, who cannot afford
pheasants and grouse and that sort of
thing, is that the aristocrats catch
typhoid fever through eating putrid
game.

pound, worth fully half as much as any
good hay. Hence, instead of vast
ing the straw by building hat-topped
stacks and allowing the cattle and
other stock TO have free access to them,
yard is built around the stacks and
the straw fed out as regularly as hay or
grain. To make all secure log pen is
built, like the one in the illustration
from n sketch by l.. d. Shook. The
logs rest upon foundation of stone or
wood, the lower log being one foot
from the ground and three logs on
each side, the extreme height of fence
being not less than four and a half
feet. On the lceward side of the stack
pen permanent and sdurable Manager

rectly from the stack, and if ration
Of hay or straw be fed at noon it will
prove equally as valuable, the only OBJ
lection being that it is located out of

HEAVY TAXES IN ROME.
Levying of an Unwonted Family 1RA
Raises Discomfort.

Levying of an Unwonted Family Tax
Raises Discomfort.
The British consul in Rome, referring
in a recent report on the condition of
that city to its financial position. men
tions the levy of an impost called "tassa
di famiglia," or family tax. This, ac-
cording to the New York Post, is one of
the taxes which all Italian communes
are authorized by law to levy, but
which until the present time had never
been resorted TO in Rome.
The general law on this subject has
fixed one hundred dollars as the highest
amount chargeable on a family, where
as, in Rome, as also in other chief towns
of Italy, the necessary power was OBJ
tanned to raise the maximum figure TO
$50. This tax has caused great discon-
tent, chiefly on account of its nature, as
it is inquisitorial and is imposed in pro-
portion to the presumed income or well
fare Of each family. There are forty
two different classes of taxpayers.
Those having a minimum income of
four hundred dollars a year are taxed
at the lowest rate of two dollars, and
those having maximum income of
twenty thousand dollars or more the
highest, four hundred dollars. This
tax is expected TO yield about two hun
dred thousand dollars year.
Foreign families who have not their
permanent residence in Rome, and who
do not own real property or who exer-
else any profession and have no car
riages, although they may have rented
unfurnished apartments for number
of years, have not been included on the
rolls of this tax.

seldom that they succeed in obtaining
any especial sympathy in their discom-

was last summer sketching in the gal

lady said with much briskness:

There was a very different air about
the lady who one day haughtily said to
the artist:

the institution to close its doors. This
step was not unexpected in financial cir

the president, is said to be the cause of
all trouble. He, it is alleged, has used
between 100000 and $50, 900 of the banks
money and all efforts made during the
past sixty days to obtain settlement have
failed. The management of the bank
decided that the best way to place the

that several days will be required to de-
