You will be interested to know that we have analysis made by eminent bacteriologists of official standing in which they conclude their report by saying, ‘the ozonize’d waters are virtually sterile.’ ” Dr. Sheard, Medical Health Ofli- cer, was interviewed by The World at the City Hall. He stated that he had noticed the efforts which were being made to purify water by the ozone electric process. A "At the present time considerable in- tormt in twin“ manilonted in the purl» licatlou at the water supply of uome oi the larger cities throughout the United Stuteu. and for this purpose a number of expensive filtration plants have been installed of quite elaborate design. Under the best conditions such plants only remove the silt and coarser material held in suspension, and allow a large percentage of the small and harmful bacteria to pass. Any process, therefore, which will effectually and economically sterilize water will be of timely interest and of great commercial value. ,‘ A- cvvvny. However.

Any unit can be cut in or out as desired by manipulating the disconnecting swit- ches. Each unit is also mounted on wheels running on rails, so that it it is necessary to make any repairs. it can be entirely disconnected and run out into the centre of the plant. In starting up the plant the motor- generator set is first thrown in and the switch on the low-tension side of the transformers closed; the water valve is then opened at the injectors, which starts the suction of air through the ozonizers. The water is allowed to run into the sewer until the action of the ozone is properly adjusted. when it is turned off into the mixing tower.

The plant is controlled from a. two-panel switch- board, upon which are mounted the various indicating instruments and starting end regulating rheostats. .._‘-_ The notion of the ozone upon the bacteria and carbonaceous matter is unique.

The lower forms of animal organism, which are the disease-bearing germs, are the first affected and most readily destroyed. If it is also necessary to remove the non-pathogenic germs, it is simply a question of supplying a larger volume of ozone. It has been found that this is usually not only unnecessary, but undesirable. By passing ozone through the most stag- nant kind of water it can in a few seconds be transformed into the brightest, sparkling water, free from any discoloration or odor that might have been originally present. The plant is unique in showing the highest record yet attained in the number of grammes of ozone produced Experience with the Pittsburg water, as taken from the city mains at the hospital. has shown that it requires about 1 gramme of ozonized air for Mary 200 gallons of water; this n- mount leaves a very tail- margin of safety and ensures the absolute de- struction of all pathogenic germs. approximate cost for electrical power of 25 cents. No attendance is required beyond an occasional visit from the engineer in charge of the hospital agu‘vrw-wv- v ‘7 tion. The two most significant fea- tures of this plant are its low main- tenance cost and simplicity of Opera- tion. The process in brief is as fol- lows: Atmospheric air, after being passed through a drier, is ozoned by its pas- sage through the Gerard apparatus; it is then mixed with the water to be purified in an injector and a further degree of mixing secured by allowing the water to flow up through a tower in which a number of perforated trays are arranged one over another. As the water overflows at the top of the tower in a small cascade any remaining ozone is removed, and the pure, steri- lised water is conveyed to the general distributing tank for use as desired. At first it has a slightly milky appear- ance, due to the entrained air, but this soon passes away, leaving the water clear and sparkling. Onone is not only employed lor puri- fying water, but is also used in the operating rooms for sterilizing instru- ments. bandages. etc. Experiments are also being tried by introducing it in small quantities in some of the wnrtlsi where it seems to have n benez nvinl efieet upon the nilehtn. making them More Might. hm eheeriul. stun: hinting their appetites and imhwihg ahiiihl sleep; _ ‘I... ironinuuunu [- per kw-hour and in the intensity thereof; it would seem to be the ini- tial installation of this character and to mark a new epoch in water purifi- i cation through the thorough commer-; cialization of the manufacture of ozone, as the remarkably low cost of operation puts it within reach of any community suffering from impure water supply. ‘ It is not intended that ozone shall be looked upon as an entire substitute for filtration beds in every case, but rather as an adjunct to them, the function of the filter beds being to re- move sand, ‘silt and other material held in suspension.

The horse was pacing like a ma- chine at the end. He did not seem all in. so if Hersey had taken 'him away faster he might have cut a second or more from the mark he made. However, 1.58 3-4 is very fast. Few in the vast crowd had seen anything to equal it, and no- body complained because the last goal was not reached. It was ask- ing too much of the horse to put the hands of the clock at 1.55. Later in the season Dan Patch may do it, but this was the first attempt.
