These facts were disclosed by the London County Council after many detailed experiments in measuring black matter suspended in the ale.

The measurements are taken once every hour from two widely separat- ed points in London.

At the beginning of the Great War It was estimated that there were 415 tors of dirt in the air per square mile each year. Last year the measurements indicated only 270 tons.

One of the worst features of Lon- don's air is the presence of sulphur fumes from the burning of raw coal. This sulphur content is mensured daily from seven points in Lundon. It totals IL

over 35 tons per square mile each year.

According to pre estimate, over

of 75.000 tons soot and ash fall in the

To-day. the heart of London does not suffer an much as the industrial belt surrounding the city.

This improvement in the city's at- mosphere is the result of stringent measures to keep the air clean. Seven inspectors under the auspiers of the London County Council and local brough enuncils tour the city watching for smoke nuisances. Any case of thick chimney smoke which they report automatically calls for Immediate investigation.

Dally west of the fog in Landen is estimated at £1.000 000, white win- dow cleaning expenses alone are placed at £750,000.

"The picture at the transmitting end is split up into the three primary colours, blue, red and yellow," he said. "In the receiver these are blended and produce all the colours of spectrum. The method of
