Although the metropolis of the world has suffered from fogs from time immemorial, her wise men recognize that there Is much yet to be learned concerning them. And while the inconvenience experienced from this cause during the last few weeks may not have been much greater than nsnal, it has led to a provision for a fresh Investigation of the subject under combined local and national auspices. The county council supplies the money and the meteorological council selects the experts required for the undertaking. The chief aim of the inquiry Is a highly practical one and was suggested by the local electric and gaslight companies. The hopelessness of preventing fogs is so generally conceded that no sane Englishman considers that possibility for a moment.

But If tbe occurrence of this nuisance could be foreseen, even by two or three hours, it would enable the corporations which supply London with artificial Illumination better to meet tbe extra demands put upon them. Hence the meteorological experts who are now about to wrestle with the subject will be asked to lay, first of all, whether it is practicable to forecast fogs or not. But incidentally, of course, and perhaps as a necessary prelude to answering that question, they will doubtless give much attention to the conditions under which the phenomenon occurs. These are already known to be somewhat various, though the Immediate cause is technically tbe same. Fog, like cloud and frost, Is a condensation of previously Invisible moisture suspended in the air.

Tbe warmer the atmosphere the more vapor it will bold. Hence a lower Ing of tbe temperature without any alteration of its absolute humidity will bring tbe air closer abd closer to the state of saturation, and any chilling beyond that limit which Is called tbe "dew point" will compel the air to give up a portion of its watery contents as cloud or fog, or else as rain, hail or snow. And the ways in which this cooling Is brought about are numerous. When tbe layer of atmosphere lying above tbe warm gulf stream in the Atlantic drifts northward and encounters tbe cold arctic current at the Newfoundland banks, it experiences a reduction of temperature below tbe dew point and fog results. The same thing comes about when warm sea air envelops an iceberg or flows gently inland over a region covered with snow or much colder than the ocean.

This latter situation arises frequently in winter. the cooling may also come about without even the slightest atmospheric movement in a horlsontal direction. Frost forms, for instance, In a calm, when tbe rapid radiation of the earth's beat reduces the temperature of the air close to the ground several degrees below that at an elevation of only a few feet. Valley fogs are produced under substantially the same conditions. And while a fog bank usually lies at a low level and often rests upon the earth or sea it sometimes exists at an appreciable elevation.

Tbe latter fact would suggest possibilities of chilling from above rather than from below tbe particular stratum of the atmosphere In which it occurs. A writer in Nature deems It desirable to ascertain the source from which the water comes which Is found In the form of fog, but it would seem to be equally if not moro instinctive to discover, if possible, the method by which the chilling Is produced. And this research may need to be broad enough to cover air temperatures at considerable heights. Balloon and kite observations show tbat tbe rate at which temperature falls with elevation above the earth is often very irregular. And it is probable thai In that irregularity are hidden meteorological secrets of great importance.

Already the American government and private meteorologists, like Mr. Rotcb and his assistant, have explored the upper air with kindred objects in view, but not especially for the purpose of forecasting fog. Whether this procedure would be of value to London can be determined perhaps only by experiment. What mokes a London fog worse than any other fog is the sooty atmosphere in which it is developed. While it is yet doubtful whether a particle of dust Is essential to the formation of a fog globule It is now well established tbat it favors condensation by affording a surface on which moisture may be deposited.

And as fog appears in an almost motionless air, of course It visits London when her pall of smoke is densest. In view of this fact it would seem as if the trouble might be mitigated to some extent in time. It is already practicable, by employing better tret hods of combustion, to reduce the output of smoke where soft coal is burned. And when the requisite legislative compulsion is resorted to London can partly rid herself of two nuisances at once. New York Tribune.
