FOGS IN OLD ENGLAND
VERY MUCH LIKE SMOKE, SAYS
AMERICAN CONSUL.
Made Basis Of Interesting Report to
the State DETERMINATIONS
In Autumn.

English Fogs'' is the subject Of an inter-
esting report to the State Department by
United States Consul Mahin, at Noting
ham. 'The English fog says he, us sui
generis. The American is prompted to call
1t smoke In a mild fog the perspective Of
a city street seems merely smoke-obscured.
like street In a great American manufac-
turing center. What Is generally called a
fog in the United States is here a mist
pure moisture in the air. devoid of the for
eign substances which give the English fog
its distinctive character.
''The London particular is the worst of
all fogs, but its type is found in all En-
glish towns at times and even In the open
country. whittier it possibly drifts from
the smoky towns The basis of the fog is
moisture, to which the British isles are be-
lieved to be peculiarly liable from their
situation. Scientists say that the to-
geography of London renders it even more
Vulnerable than most other parts of En-
gland. The mist alone would be only q
trif1e, not necessarily unwholesome. and
easily dissipated by the sun, but it be-
comes charged with the immense quantities
of smoke pouring from countless chimneys,
the residue of soft coal combustion. This
SO thickens the fogs that 1t almost defies
the sun. 1t gathers at the worst after sun
down, and becomes so dense in the night
that vehicle traffic may be impossible and
the pedestrian must feel his way about as
if blind After sunrise, as rule the fog
slowly disappears till by noon the sun ap-
pears as a red ball. On rare occasions the
fog may last all day undiminshed, or 1t
may come in the middle of the day, but the
daylight prevents its being quite SO bad as
at night, since very near objects can be
seen. very thick fog seldom lasts at the
longest over two or three days.
Come With Autumn Frosts.
Generally speaking the first fogs come
with the autumn frosts-the time and at
mospheric conditions corresponding with the
American Indian summer. The air is per-
fectly still and the temperature relatively
low. There is never fog in windy weather.
The thickest fogs are usually in November,
but in the number of fog days December
leads. November is next, then January and
October. The average annual number of
from October to March and ten from April
to September. The clearest months are
May, June and July, when the least coal Is
burned. These proportions rule generally
In all parts of England The least fog Is In
stormy years-the most In cold and quiet
ones
Said to Be Less Dense.
1.-THE fogs are said to be less dense now
than fifteen or twenty years ago. owing to
the attempts to abate the smoke nuisance
and to the growing use of gas and electric
ity for heating and cooking. 1t is argued
that the rigid enforcement of anti-smoke
laws would prevent the formation of thick.
lasting and sdcleterious fogs. but recent
opinion from recognized authority Is to
the effect that fogs would form without
smoke, though presumably not SO thick a.

Theater Performances Blurred

They get into stores and dwellings, and
are so dense in theaters that the perform
ers are sometimes blur beyond the orches-
ira stalls. They seriously interrupt business
of all kinds. The railways suffer to an ex-
tent not generally known. The delaying of
passengers is but a minor item. When a
fog envelops the line extraordinary precau-
lions are taken and expenses are enormous
ly increased Fog men to place detonators
on the rails are stationed along the line adj
ditional men are employed in all the out
door work, the wages of engineers and fire.
men are increased. and after the fog heavy
claims for damages for detention of goods
are met. These a railroad usually pays
without contest to hold the custom of the
shipper, who might transfer his business to
a rival line.
"A scheme to dispense fogs. discussed for
several years but without definite action
yet, contemplates the use of electricity from
the tops of specially erected towers So far
as l have noticed this Is the only definite
plan yet offered, though every fog fills the
correspondence columns of the newspapers
with suggestions"

low. He says that clouds and fogs are
formed by the airs moisture collecting
about the myriads OF minute dust particles
in the atmosphere; that these particles are
more abundant above cities than in the
open country: that the dust is due to many
causes. and is producible by the use of gas
and electricity as well as of COAL though
naturally the particles are of different char
acter.
In thick fog If one rubs his finger on an
iron gate or the like he finds II coated with
a greasy smudge, indicating the consistency
OF the fog. 1t is certainly unhealthful The
death rate increases with fogs, while pull
monte. pleurttic and bronchial troubles are
aggravated. The fogs injure furs and tex
tile fabrics, and literally rot window cur
tains.

HEART DISEASE.
Don't Let the Idea That You Have II
scare You Into sickness


Comparatively few people know that
IL is rare TO find perfect heartbeat.
What is termed ''palpitation" is an ir-
regularity ln the beat. 1t is most com
monty caused by some disturbance OF
the digestion; by undue indulgence in
tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol; by
worry or by excitement. Many per
sons, detecting such an irregularity
think they have some serious disease
Of the heart that may end their life al
any moment. This Is very grave mis-
take In q double sense-frst, as to the
fact itself. and, second. as to the infu-
ence on the health Of such q morbid
Idea.
Again, there is a notion that heart dis
ease is a destructive process: that the
flesh is affected In much the same man
ner as when the skin Is liberated OF
the lungs are consumptive. hat Is
very seldom true. The most serious
disorders Of the heart are quite differ
ent in their nature.
When a man or woman Is under the
impression that he or she has heart dis
ease there Is one obvious duty-to visit
a reliable doctor, have the heart ex
amIned and either have ones fears SET
at rest or be given such advice as will
serve to remedy the cOnditiOn.-Home

THE PARSON BIRD.
One of the Queer Feathered Inhabit-
ants of New Zealand.


Among the feathered inhabitants OF
New Zealand there is a bird called the
parson bird. or tut. 1t is about the
size and shape of a blackbird, but has
a pair of delicate white tufts at its
throat and is glossy dark green 9th

light. 1t can he taught to crow. TO
speak, 10 whistle tunes, and besides
these tricks it has a repertp Dry which
is not often equaled 10y any other
fcathered sOngSter. At veSnerS it has 4
note like the toll Of Il bell or the clear
high note of an organ. Ii can mimic

The tut nests twice or thrice a year
and has large families. Like the other
birds Of New Zealand. ii seems To be
unconscious Of danger from man. 1t is
pity that the birds OF this island are
becoming SO scarce. for they speak Il

pendIeton In the Tolls.

Is. ID. Pendleton. who was arrested
here a few weeks ago on a charge of
kidnapping a young Missouri girl, and
was released because of there being no
grounds for holding him, Is under
arrest in Kansas City, where he is
being prosecuted upon the charge of
having embezzled 800 from his en-
ployers, as we'll as having stolen a
large quantity of merchandise. which
is said TO have been stored in this city.
IL is now thought by those who have
watched the case that the charge upon
which Pendleton was arrested here
was trumped mp in order to secure his
detention until the Missouri authori-
ties could investigate the embezzled
matter. However, as neither the rob
berry nor enlightenment charge was
placed against Pendleton here he was
released and returned to Kansas City,
where he is now under arrest. These
later developements in the case Justify
the action of the authorities here in
releasing Pendleton on the kidnapping
charge.
