WHAT Foos ARE.
Statistics Show How They Affect the
Death Rate.

A convenient though not strictly SCI
entifie classification of fog types is sea
or coast fog, valley or hill fog and town
or dust fog. says Harper's Magazine.
The last-named has been given the
euphonic designation nebula pulyerca.
II is an artificial rather than natural
condition. The Rev. Clement Ley.
who gave large portion of his life to
cloud study. says. in his book on
Cloudiand." 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 of darkness
IN Egypt was in reality an unusual
dust fog. The amount of moisture
varies so much in different fogs that
the terms dry and wet are used,
the scientific name of the latter being
nenula stillans. In wet fog the parti-
eles are apt to be larger than in dry
fog, A still further division. due. We
believe. to Mr.. Robert Fl. Scott. is an
ti-cyelonic fog, or fog in which no rain
falls, while the temperature, generally
low in the morning. continues to rise
during the day, and cyclonic fog, in
which rain does occur, while the tenn
perature remains about stationary. Be-
fore leaving these town fogs We may
notice the part played by them in af-
fecting the health of community. Mr..
Scott has given figures showing the
mortality from diseases of the
respiratory system for some of the
more memorable fogs OF London. We
nave room for but one of the many
periods he gives. From January 20 to
February 6. 1880. London experienced
eight days of fog. The average tenn
perature at o'clock in the morning
was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The total
death rate was 1871 per 1.000, rate un-
equaled since the last cholera epidemic.
and there were no less than 1851
deaths from diseases of the respiratory
organs. IL is not always an easy mat
ter TO trace direct relationship even
where the statistics are carefully gath
cred, but there can be little doubt that
these town fogs are unwholesome. In
directly they affect the health OF the
community in a way few would imag
Inc. A town fog is an excellent trap
for nozious gases, holding them close
to the ground. Or. r. Barnes, study
ing this question, found. BY inspection
OF gas plants near London, that in fog
gy weather the escaping gas was held
in concentrated form in and near the
works. There are other sources of
contamination in foul emanations from
the ground. sewers, etc On clear.

ing. the law OF diffusion OF gases acts
more effectively and helps dispense the
gases.

The first stop made by the train after
leaving Chicago was at Sixteenth street
for supplies, where four minutes were
consumed. AZ Aurora the travelling en-
gIneer took one minute TO look the en-
CINE over and the train ran without a
stop until MENDOZA was reached. when
three minutes more we're consumed for
the same purpose. A total of twenty
one stops was made between Chicago
and Denver, consuming In all sixty

made at Red Oak. Ia. where engines
were changed on account OF a hot
truck. At this point the fastest run
OF the trip was made. Soon after leay-
ing Creston II was discovered that a
box on one OF the engine trucks was

run OF thirty-six miles was made In
thIrty-four minutes. At NlIllsca a
fresh engine was substituted and the
run to Red Oak. fifteen miles, was

GREAT FEAT.
Special Train of the Burlington Route
Runs from Chicago 10 Denver i,osS
Miles. at an Average speed Of Nearly
IS Miles an Hour.

The Chicago. Burlington 6 Quincy
Railroad has just accomplished the
greatest feat the world has ever known
for long-distance fast running.
1t was made In a race against death
to carry Henry j. Mayham OF New
York to the bedside of his dying son in
Denver.
The distance from Chicago TO Dem
yer. 1.o25 miles. was covered In eN-
actly 1909 minutes actual running
time. This is only small fraction
less than one mile minute for the
longest continuous run ever made BY
any railroad in the world.
II was run made in the ordinary
course OF business. No special prepa-
ration whatever had been contem-
plated for the trip. In exactly forty
four minutes from the time the order
for the train was received the throttle
OF the engine was pulled open and the
train glided out of the Union Depot on
n race which surprised railroad men
the world over.
The engine which took the train on
the first run out OF Chicago 10 Gales
burg had just come In from Aurora
pulling regular passenger train. No
time was spent in cleaning up, but II
was quickly turned around. attached TO
the special train and manned BY the
same engineer who had brought Il to
Chicago. Not more than a half dozen
officials or employees Of the road knew
the trip was 70 be made. This fact 10
the most important in the history OF
the great feat, as II demonstrates the
superb physical condition OF the road
and the perfect management which en-
ables such remarkable time 10 DO
maintained for more than thousand
miles.
The time made BY the record-break-
ing train is as follows. including all

Ionachism In Thibet.

The honorary secretary of the Budd-
hist Text Society OF India writes: Thi-
bet abounds in mosasteries and tenn
pies. No other Buddhist country in
Asia, whether in the past or the pre-
sent time, could be compared with mo-
dern Thibet in the number of her
Buddhist priests and mosasteries Dur
ing my residence in Thibet I obtained
list OF well known monasteries, COM
piled by Sumpa Khampo. The num-
Der of monasteries in the provinces of
LII and Tsang in 1925 A. d.. was 325,
and under the hierarchy of the Grand
Lama in Thibet was 1926, with a monk
population OF 1929. was told by
the spiritual minister OF the Tashi La
ma that the number of monasteries
since the time OF Sumpa had increased
not less than three-fold, and the num-
Der of monks had doubled. So the
number of monks in the monasteries
OF Thibet at the present day might,
according to him be estimated at a
million. According to my estimate,
which Is based partly on Thibetan Of
fetal documents and partly ON records
left by eminent Thibetan writer's, Thi-
bet has population of six millions
though the country is nearly equal in
extent and climate to Russia, its popu-
lation is not larger than that of Lon
don. The proportion Of its monks to
the entire population was, therefore,
one to six.
