EFFECTS OF THE FOG. Even Blind Men Lose Their Way The Ground "8oundi Different." Nothing has such a bewildering of- fl fect as fog. Only animals which fin- '"Sl tholr way' by scent can get about In If with nny certnlnty, says Chums. BJ Birds arc entlroly confused by It. Tamo pigeons remain nil day motion-less motion-less and nalt-asleop, huddled up, olth-er olth-er in or Just outside their houses. Chickens remain motionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters a call, perhaps becauso It fears BJ to betray Its whereabouts to an un- BJ seen too. During one very thick fog a blind man was found wandering 9J nbout a certain district of London. Bj This man was In tho habit ot carrying BJ notes and parcels, and had scarcoly over lost his way before. Asked why he had gono astray, for ho was quite bllDd, and It was supposed that woath- BJ or would have mado no difference, ho vBB said that In a fog tho ground "sounded BJ qulto differently."
