The puriacation of drinking water by
ozone has been carried out on a large
scale At Oudshoorn, Belgium for more
than o year. The watersouroe there
was a very polluted one, when untreated
being absolutely unfit for use. At the
nrst contact of the water and the ozon-
izen air the greater part OF the microbes
are killed; but few offer resistance, and
20 kill these seven or nine minutes Of
continued application is required. AS
. remarkable example of the. power OF
or ono for this purpose, of II sample tubes
thus treated 16 remained sterile. II has
also been found that ozonized water is
very much less liable to reinfection than
wster which has been merely filtered, and
that the beneficial salts IN water are
scarcely affected by ozone. The color and
taste of the water are modified favorsbly.
The only dfiiculty In the application of
the process hitherto has been the want
of suitably constructed apparatus to pro-
duce the ozone economically and in
large quantities.
