LIondon's FoRs Are Costly.

An ingenious but depressed London
newspaper writer estimates that re-
cent Ave days fog inflicted loss OF
&8,T50.00O upon the metropolis. A
British fog statlsician declares that
the gloom costs London $25,O0o,0O0
every year.
1t is asserted that London burns
more than 15O000,O0o cubic feet of gas
on foggy day, enough to supply a
town of 10000 inhabitants whole
year. Extra electric light is consumed
to an extent equal to its ordinary use,
and oil lamps and candles are used In
extraordinary quantities" Trade suf-
fers loss from London fog which
cannot be estimated.
The following extract from the Lon
don Express seems to have been In
splred by fog:
People are generally too depressed
to buy anything, and appetites are so
seriously affected that the restaurant
keeper loses much of his profit. Places
Of entertainment are neglected, busi-
ness Is lost through persons failing to
keep appointments, and the course of
justice Is delayed by late trains and
fog-bound cabs"
The only interests benefited by the
gloom are shareholders of the gas and
electric light companies. A foggy win
ter increases dividends per cent.
