A Novel Scheme. to Dissipate the Fogs of London. A scheme to disperse fogs by currents of air, silos aver London from "projec- tors" six miles awn•v, has been laid be- fore the Public Control Committee of the London County Councll, and Mr. Demetrto Moggiora, the inventor, is ready 'to start experiments. M. Moggiera says his apparatus hes already been subjected to severe tests at Milan, Italy, where fogs, clouds and hailstorms wor0 quickly dissipated. With his projectors, or "air cannon," placed within a radius of six miles from the houses of Parliament, he says he will clear away the worst fog in London within 20 minutes, "Tho theory is that the fog hangs over London simply because there arc no air currents to carry it away," said M, Moggiora to a newspaper represet- teth'o rerenlly. "Now, my projectors, acting like cannon, furnish the neees- sln'y currents of 011% "Each projector' is about GO feet long, An explosion Is caused 0s h1 a cannon, and the concussion has an effect for six miles.
