A London fog is not only unpleasant, but very expensive. On Tuesday, Jan. 20, one Company alone sent out 96,000,000 cubic feet of gas. The public, thanks to the fog on that occasion, would thus have to pay this one Company for gas .£5250 more than would have been their returns had the day been fairly bright. To produce this 96,000,000 feet of gas, 9500 tons of coal were carbonised.
