Fo0oY FACTS.

Fog to sailors and travellers is fire.
quently a source of annoyance and dam
ger. whether vapor condenses as fine
Scotch mist OF coarse black fog is large
ly determined by the dust. If we can
remove the dust from the air we have
removed the nuclei of condensation"
Five methods for removing dust have
been suggested-filtrati settling, re-
condensing, calcining and electrifica-
-tion. The last-named is thought to con-
tain the greatest possibilities and the
day is probably near at hand when cleo
trio fog-dispellers will lie: placed on
ships, ferry boats and at all terminal
depots and crowded thoroughfares.
1t is known that fogs may form in
three different ways-frst, when the
air has been cooled by rapid radiation;
second, when the cooling results from
mixture of different air currents, ond,
third, where u cooling has been caused
by an uplifting of the air. The sea
fogs come from q difference of tenn
peraturc between the water and the air.
Coast fogs are caused by damp cir from
the sea passing over the cooler land, or
are formed at sea, when there is some
great area OF high pressure.
In California last year large quanti-
ties of fruit were saved by q process
known as bodybuilding" The newest
and most effective method Of prevent
ing frost consists in the introduction of
large amounts of moisture in the vapor-
GUS state. when this vapor condenses,
or, in other words, when the fog is
formed, an enormous amount of heat is
given off, generally at the very height
at which it is most needed. Fog and
frost both occur when the skies are
clear and little or no air is stirring"

cies of the rich. This kind of talk
is milk and water bosh. This very
extravaganza Is the salvation Of the
poor. The luxurious demands of
the wealthy insures living for the
"hewers of wood and drawers of
water" 1t should be cause for re-
joicing when a nabob engages in
the building of q million dollar
palace, a magnificent yacht, or d
hundred thousand dollar famil,
tomb. An entertainment or we'd
ding that costs one hundred thou-
and dollars OF more, or the expene
iture of thousands of dollars fr
flowers at a funeral, are God sens
to many poor, deserving familis.
We rejoice to hear of swell womfn
wearing priceless laces, hundrd
dollar stockings and corsets, nd
acknowledgement garters, or
thro ugh the exercise of thse
privileges many hungry moIhs
are ted. 1t is better that the por
be given opportunities to work for
what they need, than to furish
them funds gratis. Money caned

i The following prescriptions res
ferred to by the Scott County Reg
lister contain ingredients that are
gradually killing more towns In the
state than the one alluded to:
HOW TO KILL FOREST.
Buy of the peddlers as much and
as often as possible.
Don't advertise in your home
paper an the plea that everybody
knows you.
Denounce your merchants be-
cause they want to make a profit
/ on their goods.
Make out your town a very bad
place and state 1t every chance you
get.
Rejoice in the downfall of man
who has done much to build up
your town.
Refuse to unite in any scheme
for betterment of the material inc
teresr Of the people.
If stranger visits the town tell
him everything is overdone and
predict general crash in the near
future.
Keep up a divided public sentis
ment and knife every man that dis.
agrees with you on the best meth-
DDS of increasing business.
ratroaize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own, and de-
nounce yours for not being as cheap
and as large as the big city papers.
| If you are a farmer curse the
place you trade at as the n eanest
place on earth.
Tell this to your neighbours, and
tell them the business men are rob-
bers and thieves. 1t will make
your property of much less
value, but don't care,
Down every young man that is
trying to do something.
Don't go into anything that will
help Forest, 1t might compel you to
employ more help to wait on the
trade.
Patronize every advertising
scheme that comes along unless
they are gotten up by home man
outsiders spend their money
hele-home people do not wear
clothes or eat.
