What n Fog Costs London.


The cost of a days genuine fog in
town can be estimated in different ways.
About dozen years ago, 1. e., just be-
fore the electric GIT had seriously int r
fered with the street illumination by gas
alone, the calcula ion in pounds, shill ngs.
and pence worked out thus: Statistics
furnished by one chief company showed
that So 100000 cubic fest in excess were
consumed on singlesday of fog. This was
computed to be, a quantity sufficient for
years supply of gas to town of 10000
or 1900 inhabitants. Adding to this the
extra supply demanded at the same lime
of two other metropolitan companies, the
total excess of gas amounted to $50 10000
cubic feet, or, put in another way, the
cost of the days fog in gas to London
could not be put at less figure than
5000 or $4,000.
Then, as to the cost in health, we have
a statement in the Lancet, from health
officer, who is prepared TO take The len
lent view that in spite of few days dis
comfort people after a fog live on pretty
much as before He is ready to admit that
to eouhterbalance the bad effect of me-
chanical irritation there is possible good
to be derived from inhaling carbonace1us
matter by reason of such matter being
a disinfectant. while, as the result of act
ual measurement. there is shown to be
present all the while pretty much the nor
NAL amount of oxygen. For all this, the
writer is convinced that the mischief
wrought goes far beyond Streaming eyes
and smarting nostri's. There area other
products in the baneful air besides the
particles of simple SCOT, sulphurous am
moniacal acid, and organic particles
which, when added to the usual accom-
paniment of lowering of temperature,
must tell materially against the infirm or
aged.
But sthis question has been approached
In yet another way. Prof Oliver, in a pre-
liminary report to the scientific committee
Of the Royal Horticultural Society a few
years back, details the result Of scraping
twenty square yards of the roofs of glass
houses at Kew and also at Chelsea, which
had been carefully washed down previous
to visitation of fog In both cases the
weight of deposit was about the same,
thirty grains per square yard, or six tons
per square mile. Proceeding to analize
the deposit collected at the more densely
Inhabited locality, there was found about
40 per cent of mineral matter TO 50 per
cent. Of carbon. while the analysis yielded
per cent and Ia rer cent. of sulphurous
acid and hydrochloric acid respectively.
There was also considerable proportion
viz. Is per cent.-of hydrocarbons, to
which was attributed the familiar olea-
ginous character Of fogs as we know
them.
