ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN : THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER -24. 18JH. Raysor & Smith -Come on with your guesses for the burn ing Candle. Tomor row is the last day that you will be al lowed to guess. The Candle will be light ed at 4 p. m. tomor SOMETHING ABOUT FOGS. particularity the VILXB KIND. Aims- row and continue to burn until it burns out. Raysor & Smith A True fog Rlaea From the Earth and We Have None of That Kind Here The Benefit f Clear and Damp IWeatner Compared. Relative to the dense fug which pre vailed here on Monday night and Tues day morning, a Cituem reporter consul ted Dr. Karl ton Rack, who hai charge of the United States signal service at this point. 1 observed the fog on Tuesday morn ine and I have observed it on other mornings when it was not perhaps so dense as it was then. But what arc called fogs here are in reality clouds; be cause a real log arises- from the earth. and we know br observation that what ever we have in this shape in Asheville forties down. "But what is a fogr It is made up oi small partiuls of water suspended in tbe air. So is a mist; so is a cloud. Rela tively, the same conditions produce all alike. A rapid cooling of the tempera ture at niirht near the earth's surface causes the clouds or mist to settle arouiul us. Everybody has observed it disappem under the sun's rays. It is not dissipated na some think. It rises, seeks a cooler place in space and we see it floating ubout as clouds. Sometimes it is pre cipitated, when the conditions are favor able for that result, and does not rise, This to be thorouehly understood re- auires a knowledge of meteorology, the conditions of the atmosphere under which clouds form, the influences which move them, and what cause the various disturbances witnessed. What are called foes, arise from the earth; gen erally from low places, swamps, low crounds. river courses, etc. Ine air heino- cooler than the beds of these places, the moisture simulv rises therefrom. It is moisture and it floats or is suspended in the air upward into space it the con ditions demand it, or is precipitated. "I do not know that Iocs produce mn ktria. In fact, I have reusuu to believe that there are fewer micro-organisms in foes, even in a malarious section, than float in a drv atmosphere, though thev orobublv exist to a certain degree, A moist surface cannot give off micro-or ganisms to the air; a dry surface can, when the micro-organisms could reuen the air as particles of dust. 01 course, the emanations from any partic ularly contaminated place contain im- K unties wnicn may pr juuee aiseasc, uui rss so in a tog than when the air is dry. We have no such places in Ashcvillc, nor ds I believe we have general logs. 1 do not say that we never have a fog here: there may be togs that arise at times from thenver courses, but they arc not central. No. sir. what we have here comes from above, and the density ol that ol Tuesday morning was no excep tion. It may astonish you to know that, under such atmospheric conditions as existed here last winter, my patients received benefits equal to that of a clearer winter. it is auriuuicu iu mc tumm.. and pure air, in the making up of which many elements enter. The daily observ ations at the signal station show the oresence of a very lurce percentage ol ozone, one of its elements, and, strungc as it may appear, a larger percentage on some wet days than dry ones. A great many things go to make up a cli mate. AROUND TOWN. Toracaat III! a m. m. srtidar howera, followed br clearing weaincrt anirnujr cooieri eoum wealerljr winds.

The third grade of the Orange street school, taking time by the forelock, had beautiful Christmas tree yesterday. The school room was handsomely dec orated with ivy, holly, mistletoe and other evergreens and pots of growing house plants. The tree was a graceful white pine pro cured by the third grade boys and se curely and neatly fixed by them to the floor. The mannerof distributing tbe presents was rather unique. A bat was passed around containing slips of paper. The number on each slip called lor a present from the tree numbered to correspond with the slip. bach child received a satin sacnei-oug. an ornamental blotting book, and a pen wiper (made by the teacher) and a story book apiece.

The newly organised Swanna noa hunt will have to look to their lau rels or Mr. Hitchcock and his hounds may beat tbeta: "The meeting of tbe Meadowbrook Hunt club tomorrow will be of consid erable Importance, inasmuch as it is called to consider the question of send' ins the club's hounds south for the win ter. For several years it has been the desire of a large number of tbe members to send tbe pack away in the winter, but heretofore they have been able to find no suitable country in which to work the animals. This year Thomas Hitchcock, jr., expects to spend the winter at Asbe- ville, N. C, and as tbe country tnere is well adapted for hinting, it was pro posed to take advantage of the oppor tunity ana let tne pace go witn nun. Some members of the club, however, think that the hounds ought to be kept at home, where all the members can use them. It is to discuss and settle this mat the special meeting has been called Inasmuch as tne pack is large, it is likely that a compromise will be reached, and the pack divided, part being sent to Askeville with Mr. Hitchcock, and part left her at tbe kennels."
