notice that in Sweden the educa-
ton Of journalists is treated as a func-
ton Of the state. Under this en-
lightened system the young Journalist
gains a knowledge Of the world by
travelling at the expense OF the tax
payer. He receives an allowance
which, owing to my ignorance of the
Swedish coinage, I cannot reckon in
pounds sterling, but 1t is evidently .suf-
ficient to enable him to study the insti-
tutions of Europe. If journalism We're
equally appreciated by our backward
government, I should long ago have
a practical acquaintance with the
Swedish currency. What would the
chancellor of the exchequer in any min
istry say if he were requested to pro-
vide me with the necessary funds for
continental tour? The Swedes take
the sensible view that, if journalists
are to instruct the public opinion, they
must acquire the necessary informa-
ton at the public charge. Swedish
editors travel by railway in their own
country without paying the fare. What
would the British railway companies
say if our penny editors, as Carlyle
used to call them, demanded a similar
privilege? Perhaps the spirit of emu.
lation might be excited if some penny
editor were to make journey without
a ticket, and, when hauled before the
nearest beak, plead the Swedish ex-
ample as a justification. We don't hear
enough about Sweden. and this would
be a capital opportunity for extolling
that civilized land in an impressive
manner.
Presently we shall have troops of
Swedish Journalists taking notes in our
newspaper Offices, and expressing sur
prise and pleasure to find that Gus
tavus Adolphus is still one Of our
Protestant heroes. They will learn
with pain. however, that a d1stin-
guished statesman never reads the
newspapers, and even questions the ca
pacity of the penny editors to under
stand what the house of commons is
about. They will hear with amaze
ment that there is. or rather, there
was, an education bill in which no pro-
to the Italian lakes. Personally, I'M
cine to believe that this omission was
the real reason why the bill was with
drawn. At any rate, before January

of penny editors as will convince Mr..

Ozone Apparatus.

Ozone is now frequently employed
by electrotherap ists for the treatment
of tuberculosis and affections Of the
throat and nose. It is an admirable
purifier of bad air, and is used in the
library of the British museum, in Lon
don, and other places Of public resort
where ventilation is inadequate to the
renewal of the air yitiated by the con-
inued presence of a large number OF
visitors. In hospitals ozone is manu-
factured by large static machines, and
then dissipated through the wards by
means of large electrical fans. One of
the latest novelties in electrical irstr1l-
ments is an ozone inhaler for domestic
use. by which a patient can carry out
ut home the treatment prescribed by
his physician. It consists of several
tubes a few inches long, surrounded by
an aluminium armature, with electric
connections. One terminal of the see
ondary coil is connected to copper
wire running the length Of vacuum
tube, the other to the aluminium coy..Ee-
ing, which has numerous points di-
rectly toward it. From these poin,s,
when the current is turned on, is sent
out a stream of sparks of purple and
magenta tint, and the oxygen of the
air is convertible INTO ozone. The op-s
