WHAT FOGS ARE MADE OF.
Nebula Pulverea and Their Airy Relative
of Town and Country.

A convenient though not strictly scien-
tidc classification of fog types is, sea or
coast fog, valley or hill fog, and town
or dust fog. The last named has been
given the euphonio designation of nebula
pulvera. 1t is an artificial rather than
a natural condition. The Rev. Clement
Ley, who gave large portion of his life
to cloud study. says, in his book on
"Cloudland, that in some parts of the
globe nebula pulverea is occasionally so
thick as to obscure almost totally the
sunlight and in Abyssinia has led to the
tradition that the plague or darkness in
Egypt was in reality an unusual dust fog.
The amount of moisture varying SO much
in different fogs that the terms "dry''
and wet are used, the scientific name
of the latter being nebula stipans In
wet fog the particles are apt to be larger
than in dry fogs. A still further division,
due we believe, to Robert H. Scott, is am
t1cyclonlc fog, or fog in which no rain
falls while the temperature, generally low
in the morning, continues to rise during
the day and cyclonio fog, in which rain
does occur, while the temperature re-
mains about the same. Before leaving
these town fogs we may notice the part
played by them in affecting the health
of the community. Mr.. Scott has given
the figures showing the mortality from
from diseases of the respiratory system
of some of the more memorable fogs of
London. We have room for but one of
the many period she gives. From Janu-
airy 26 to February 6, 1880, London expe-
rienced eight days of fog. The average
temperature at O'Clock in the morning
was 26 degrees Fahrenheit. The total
death rate was 49, per !, 600, rate I'M
equal since the last cholera epidemic
and there were no less than 1 ,557 deaths
from diseases sof the respiratory organs
1t is not always an easy matter to trace
direct relationship even where the stat
istics are carefully gathered, but there
can be little doubt but that these town
fogs are unwholesome. Indirectly they
affect the health of the community in a
way we would imagine. A town fog is
an excellent trap for noxious gases, hold
ing then. close to the ground. DR.. R.
Barnes, studying the question, found by
inspection of gas plants near London,
that in foggy weather the escaping gas
was held in concentrated form in and
near the gas works. There are other
sources of contamination in foul emana,
tions from the, ground, sewers, etc. On
clear, bright days, even if no wind is
blowing, the law of diffusion of gases
acts more effectively and helps dispense
the gases.-Harper's Magazine.

LONDON BANKERS ACT
THEY ADOPT A PROTEST AGAINST
CONCESSIONS TO SILVERITES
BY COndemning the Proposed Scheme
of the Bank of England-VOn
MOItke's Letters.

LONDON, Sept. "a meeting of the
bankers of London, called to protest against
the action of the governor of the Bank of
England, Mr.. Hugh c. Smith, who at the
semi-annual meeting of that institution, on
Thursday last read letter dated July 20,
addressed to the chancellor of the ex-
chequer Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, in which
the governor announced the bank was pre-
pared to carry out what is laid down as
permissible in it's charter, namely, to hold
one-fifth Of the bullion held against its
note issue in silver, provided always that
the French mint is again open to the free
coinage of silver and that the prices at
which silver is procurable and salable are
satisfactory, was held at the clearing
house to-day. There was a large attend
ance of representatives OF powerful inter-
ests. Several of the prominent banks were
not represented but, according to the state
ment of those who participated in the
meeting, their absence was due to the fact
that the heads of the banks unrepreSented
were not in or near London at the present
time. A resolution protesting against the
Bank of England's proposed action was
adopted. This resolution will be embodied
in a letter to the governor OF the Bank
of England, which will be presented to MIN
tomorrow. The bankers who We're present
at to-days meeting were pledged to Sc
crecy in regard to the proceedings. Robert
Benson. who threatened at the recent
meeting of the Bank of England TO sell ms
bank stock if silver reserves We're held,
took a prominent part in the meeting to-
day. The protest on the part or the Lon
don bankers is unprecedented ana is the
only thing talked about at present in fnan-
cia1 circles

Won MoLTKEs CORREsPoNDENCE.
Light Thrown on the Paris Commune
and GermanN's Action.


BERLIN, Sept. 22.-The long-expected
third and last part of Won Moltke's mill
tary correspondence has been issued. 1t
covers the period from January, 1871, to
February, 1872 and includes hitherto I'M
published kilograms to and from the crown
prince of Saxony to Bismarck, ManteuHel
Tresckow and Sholottiem, which throw in
teresting light upon the commune and re-
veal a confidential agreement whereby the
Germans were to assist the French troops
to overthrow the commune. Bismarck
willingness to help the French government
is still more Slgnally proved Dy the IoIoW-
ing incident:
s?On the evening of May q the chancellor
was Informed by Won Moltke from FRANK
fort-on- the Main that the National Guards
had entered the house of General WASH
burne, the American minister, and had de-
clared that they would no longer respect its
diplomatic character. All the neighboring
houses had been plundered, but General
WaShburne had succeeded in obtaining the
liberation of the nuns shut up at st. La
Zare a matter whose utmost accelerat1on
had been urged by Bismarck. The latter
would not allow Washburne, who cared for
German interests at Paris, to be subjected
to violence He, therefore, telegraphed
General Won Fabrice to demand the de-
livery of the National Guard who had en-
tered Washburne's house, and instructed
him to say that otherwise such steps as
might be judged necessary would be taken.
Moreover BiSmarck'S telegram concluded,
this is a welcome opportunity for us to
act against the commune. Before Won
Moltke had time to report to the Emperor
the following telegram arrived from Bis
marck: If the capture of Paris by the gov
eminent troops is unconfirmed or is incom-
plete the plundering of Washburne's house
and the probable robbing of our archives
placed there afford US, in my opinion, am
pie reason to open fire on Paris, unless the
culprits and archives are delivered at
once

what broader, for the legal presumption
is that the action of the head OF depart
ment expresses the will of the chief exec
utiVe. 1t thus resolves itself into the ques-
ton whether the President has the power
to control these removals..
Mr.. Holstein: Your question is answered
by the averment of the bill that the mar
shall is acting alone"
The court: Gould /, as a chancellor,
lCok into case of INSTRUMENTATION in one
of the departments"
Mr.. Holstein mo. That would be an
interference with another branch of the
The court: "Then is not this a question
you must fight out with the attorney gem
eral? Have / the right to step in and say
whether or not the marshal is acting in
accordance with the will of his superfors?
Upon the theory of your argument, Presi-
dent Cleveland has made certain rules
which President Mckinley may either en-
force or abrogate at viii, and am asked
vcariously to step in and say that the
marshal shall not step in and violate the
will of his superior officer, the President"
Mr.. Holstein declared that this was not
their position and begged the court to give
thorough consideration to the authorities
submitted in order that in the conflicting
decisions there might be one that the dis
trict of Indiana could depend upon.
Mr. Hawkins closed the argument by
calling attention to what he deemed an
Inconsistency between the bill and the ar
gument. The theory OF the bill was that the
marshal had the power of removal, but was
prevented from exercising IT by the civi-
service law. while the theory of the argyll
nent was that the marshal had no power
OF removal whatever. He declared that the
intent of the civil-servlce law was not to
prevent removals, but TO provide a test of
fitness for appointees. This contention that
government employees in the classified Serv-
ice could not be removed meant nothing
more nor less than life tenure of office.
The court took the case under advises
ment.
