The late Hall McAllister some years ago entertained a visiting scientist at the Union club. before its amalgama- ton with the Pacific, and during the evening, a particularly foggy one, made some whimsical remark convey ing the idea that fog was an excellent conductor of sound.
 The scientist took exception to this novel theory and asked Mir. McAllister on what 1t was based.
 "On phenomena which we have all observed" returned the ready jurist. "On an evening like this we hear the fog horn quite distinctly, but when there Is no fog we cannot hear 1t at all."-San Francisco Argonaut.
