Abstract
I MUCH regret the Hon. R. Russell, in his letter to NATURE, vol. xxiii. p. 267, takes such an extremely desponding view of the influence which my experiments on cloudy condensation are likely to exercise upon the present attempts to rid the atmosphere of our large towns of their ever-recurring fogs. The object of these experiments was to find out what caused fogs, in the hope that with the knowledge thus acquired we might be better able to find a remedy. The preferable course seemed to be to find the cause first, and then if possible devise some remedy, rather than try remedies at haphazard.
