put to an extra expense of s6ee,oe9 annually by. reason of the prevalence of fog. One gas company alone fur nishes gas to the value of s15,009 over and above the normal figure on single day of fog. The suspension of traffic is another serious item. In the effort to overcome this, the London council has been repeatedly petitiened
 to make an appropriation for scientific
 investigation in this direction, and on
 one or two occasions small amounts
 have been voted, but never in sums of
 adequate size. A noted English scien-
 tist, who has given the subject some
 attention, says that if the government
 would make a grant of $500,09e year
 to the universities for experiment he would apply electricity not only to ac- celerating plant growth, but to dis persing fog and influencing weather in clouds and rain. The experiments al
 ready made in France and elsewhere | in the use of HeTtZian waves to dispel l fog, if not conclusive, are at least en- ! cOuraging: and several other agencies, l such as jets of hot air have been aB- | piled with more or less success to ef- i fecting the same purpose within Hm | ited area. The problem is, of course 1 of world wide interest, as witnessed by | the many accidents constantly ec- l curing on the high seas as a result oi | fog, to say nothing of the enormous

 The late empress of Austria used to hunt regularly in Ireland, where her reckless and brilliant horsemanship is still spoken of. With the late Bay Mid dleton to give her a lead, she was all ways in the first fight and stuck at nothing, The famous happy -ge-l lucky hospitality that marks the Irish temp erament is exempIifed in matters sporting, and open house is kept by those having accommodation in a good hunting district.

Every woman inherits certain ways of doing housework from her mother as the mother did from her grandmother. One of these ideas from ancient times concerns the washing of clothes.

Buys a Home in the Town al
Danville in the State
of Ohio.

H. Meade Richards and family
have gone to reside permanently in
Danville. o. With Mr.. Richards's de-
parture this community lost one of
its most valued citizens. His loss
will be felt especially in Northvlew,
where he had resided for a number
of years. as the material advance
ment OF that suburb is probably
more due to his influence and effort
than to any other one man.
Mr.. Richards was born in Dod-
bridge county, w. Va, and after
living in Salem for a number of
years, located in Northview about
seven years ago and engaged in the
business OF contractor and builder.
During the succeeding years he won
for himself not only the respect and
affection of all with whom he asso-
ciated, but by his business capacity
accumulated considerable property.
He was one of the leading spirits in
the movement for the incorporation
OF Northview in January, 1911, and
after the incorporation he was
elected first mayor of the town. Al
though the town encountered more
difficulties than usually fall to the
lot of young municipalities. Mr..
Richards confronted them honestly
and courageously and so much to the
satisfaction OF the citizens that he
was reelected mayor in 1912 on a
non-partisan ticket by an increased
majority and with practically no op-
position. During hts second admin
istration he fully retained the es'
TEEN OF his fellow citizens and the
news of his resignation, which he re.
Gently rendered, was received with
universal sorrow.
1t is understood that Mr.. Rich
ards has acquired valuable tract
Of land in his new home town and
that he will there engage in farming
and perhpas in business. AS he still
retains several properties in this
county. his friends reasonably hope
that he will visit this community
! occasionally.
Mr.. Richards deserves and will
certainly attain in his new home
that degree of esteem and respect
which his industry and upright
ness have earned in and around
oiarksburg.
