A simple Method OF Producing It In
HnanIlnIa.

Whether ozone plays an important
part In the hygiene of nature is moot
point, says the Lancet. Pure ozone Is
unquestionably poisonous. In air
which Is largely polluted with organic
matter, as is the air OF London and
other large towns, small quantities OF
ozone obviously cannot live long. 1t
is, of course. a powerful oxidizer, and
the oxygen with which it Is surcharged
is soon absorbed. Il is founS, how
ever. In distinct quantity in the pure
air of the country, and. as everybody
knows. in sea air. Its occurrence in air
is invariably connected with the eX-
istence Of water generally in motion.
Thus the wind blowing over the sea
waves OF a lake or the air in the I'm
mediate neighborhood of a waterfall
or spray contains a notable amount OF
ozone. OF course. ozone must to some
extent exert a purifying influence upon
the air. but this can only be of import
ance when the ozone occurs in distinct
quantity or when 10 is being constantly
evolved, as over the surface of the
ntds DbulbitSS sea air anu HlpuhNdth
air owe their beneficial qualities to
their purity, which. In some measure,
is due TO the action OF ozone This
fact has led 70 the devising of appara-
tus for the simple and easy production
of ozone in hospitals and large build
ings. II may not be generally known
that a very simple and effectual way
OF bringing ozone into the house cou-
sists in first suspending moist linen
sheets in a keen, dry wind, and after
ward hanging them up in the house.
The air in the room will thus become
considerably charged with ozone, and
its presence will be easily detected by
its peculiar smell. while a moistened
starch iodide paper will instantly turn
blue. Why ozone is accumulated in
wet clothes in this way Is not quite
understood, but It may be due to the
rapid passage of the oxygen in air over
large wet surface. 1t is not improb-
able that this interesting phenomenon
plays an important part in the real
hygienic cleansing of our linen articles
of clothing. In big laundries, when
the not quite dry linen Is brought in
after having been exposed to a cold.
dry air for a short time, the smell OF
ozone is almost more ,han is agree
able
