HOW the Air Is Purified.

Motion, mechanical and molecular,
the great law of the universe, is first to
be considered as natural method for
the publication of the atmosphere. Its
power as a purifier of the air is shown
mechanically in the flow of rivers and
in the ocean currents. Molecularly 1t
serves the same purpose in the form OF
heat, light and electricity.
When not in motion, air stagnates as
water does and becomes offensive and
bad. because it is easily impregnated
with fine animal and vegetable dust as
we'll as noxious gases. Certain physical
conditions are always necessary for the
continual movement of the air. We
know that the diurnal motion OF lano
and sea air brings the warm days ano
cool nights as we'll as the rain ano
wind. In the tropical regions as the
run rises the heat of the day increases
and the breeze sets in from the sea &c
the land. AS the sun goes down the hea
diminishes, and at sunset the tempera
lures of sea and land are equal Atnigh
again the breeze is from land to se'
until morning, when the temperature
may become equal and the sea breez'
return. -Chautauquan.
