A Simple Method of Making Ozone.

n new and remarkable use for lucifer
matches has been discovered by a Mr..
Beer. Knowing the efficiency
-of moistened phosphorus as q
generator of ozone, Mr.. Beer set out,
one day, to procure quantity of that
substance to use in sweetening the air
of a room whose musty smell had sue
cessfully resisted the power of ordinary
disinfectants. Failing TO find anyphos-
phorus at the drug stores III his neigh
borhood, il occurred to Mr. Beer that
possibly lucifer matches might furnish
the needed element in condition suit
ed to his purpose. He tried them, dip
plug them into warm water for a few
moments, then suspending them in the
obnoxious room. Their effect was sal
utary, and thereafter, by continuing
their use, he was able to enjoy {" the
blessing of pure and refreshing air. .
Notwithstanding the room was i'm the
basement Of an old cellarless house on
made land, the air of which was further
tainted 10y quantity of mouldy books
and papers. The supply of the purify
ing agents can be easily regulated by
increasing or diminishing the number
of active matches. In the room above
mentioned, six bundles of matches were
kept active some near the ceiling.

for quickly purifying the air of room
in which several adults and children
