The recent drowning of Hartley Brana-
gan in the James Greek Canal has had the
effect OF again calling public attention
to notorious death trap
The South Washington Citizens Asso-
citation now propose to take hold of the
matter, and will probably devise some
method by which the frequent deaths
by drowning in the canal may be averted
The association Will probably urge the
Commissioners TO erect u suitable fence
along the entire length of the canal on
both sides, similar 10 that which now in
closes the tracks of the Pennsylvana Rail
road where they pass through the streets
of the city.
The James Greek Canal is the untitled
portion OF what was once an arm of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, that, until d
short time after the close of the war
wound its sinuous way through the city
from Georgetown to the Eastern Branch
1t is navigable a high tide for sandSeuws
and other craft of light draught from the
Eastern Branch to the District stock Yards,
at Second and Canal streets southwest
In reality it is nothing more than an
immense unprotected sewer, whose foul
odors, poisonous and noXiOus gases are
left free to spread disease and death in
the neigbborhood through which it flows
Along the west banks of the canal are
high piles of sand and gravel that have
been discharged from scows coming from
the Eastern Branch. Its eastern side, from
l street to NJ, Is a dumping ground for Al Il
kinds of refuse, and is strewed with old
tin cans, broken bottles, brickbats an,l
other such valuable commodities.
Rank weeds grow thckly along its banks
and trail themselves over the stone walls
into its putrid and murky waters.
Ihese stone walls enclose the canal for
nearly its entire length after it leaves the
tunnel at street, and are about five feet
IN height above the surfa;e u the water.

The publication OF drinking water by
ozone has now been carried out on q
Iaege scale at Oudshoorn, Belgium. for over
u year. The water source at this place was
a very polluted one, when untreated being
absolutely unfit for use,. At the first con-
tact Of the water and oZoniZed air the
greater part of the microbes are killed,
but a few offer resistance, and to kill
these seven or nine minutes of continued
application is required. As a remark able
example Of the power of ozone for this
purpose, of seventeen sample tubes thus
treated sixteen remained sterile. 1t has
also been found that oZoniZed water is
very much less liable to Teinfection than
water which has been merely filtered, and
that the beneficial salts in water a.e
scarcely affected by ozone.
\ The color and taste of the water are mod
flied favurably. The only difficulty in tlt
application aof the process has been the
want of suitably constructed apparatus to
produce the ozone economically and n
large quantities. This, however, is be
lieved by NJ. Eenin to have been solved
