WATER PURIFIED BY OZONE,
Moscow's Successful Plan for Excepting
Down Infectious Disease Germs.

Moscow's Successful Plan for Excepting
Down Infectious Disease Germs.
A new method of sterilizing a city's
water supply is being successfully OPP
Grated in Russia and it was described
at the annual meeting Of the American
Association Of Waterworks Engineers
recently held in New York, in a paper
forwarded by Nicholas Simin, chief en-
gineer of the city Of Moscow where
the system has been adopted and &C
Cording to NJ. Simin is universally
commended. The plan is to sterilize
the water by the introduction of ozon-
lied air and it is contended on it's be-
half that it destroys all the bacteria
in the water and makes it at compare
lively small cost absolutely safe for
drinking purposes. So far, the system
has not been adopted outside Russia,
but NJ. Simin contends that in this
country conditions are more favorable
than anywhere else for its adoption,
and he advocates it's introduction here
as tending to solve all problems in re-
gard to contaminated water supplies.
The system is based upon the prin"
Ciples that ozone burns all organic
matter with which it m into con-
tact in water, including bacteria and
their vital products, that with water
which has been freed previously of
suspended matter the destruction of
the bacteria is equally efficient no mat
ter how great may be the number, and
that the ~pathogenic bacteria are
among the first to be destroyed. The
publication of the water In this way
is simply a development Of and an i'm
provement upon the ordinary ~aeration
of water by means of atmospheric air.
The air, before coming in contact with
the water, is subjected to a series of
electrical discharges which convert the
oxygen from diatomic oxygen to tria-
tonic oxygen which Is ozone and Is
remarkable for its power of oxidiZing
organic matter including the bacteria
in water. The cost is put at S6.25 for
each million gallons, or in large plants
even less. Extensive experiments in
the system have been made in France.
Germany, Holland and Belgium. The
necessary removal of suspended mat
ter is accomplished by using a small
quantity of coagulant for mere clarifi-.
cation, NJ. Simin says. Oxonization
oxidizes not only the bacteria, but all
organic matter. The water is rendered
colorless, sparkling and ordorless. 1t
has an agreeable and refreshing taste
and there is introduced into it 10 for
eign matter except oxygen, which, Of
course, is benefcial.-New York Sun.

BUFFALO,. MODEL CITY.

It's Water system n Wonder to Experts
From Other Towns.
To persons interested in municipal
government one Of the sights of the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo is
the city of Buffalo itself, which has
the reputation among municipal ex-
perts of being n of the best gov
ened cities in the world. 1t has 4,000,-
900 square yards of asphalt pavement,
almost as much as New York itself,
its system Of parks and boulevards is
scarcely surpassed in the world and its
other public utilities are not equalled
in a town of its size. Most Of all,
however, Buffalo's water system Is
agreed by experts to be a wonder. It's
plant is valued at $4,000, 900; the
water supply, coming from an intake
in the middle of the Niagara River
within a mile of Lake Erie, is mex
haustible, and In the center Of the city
Is kept a vast distributing reservoir,
which alone has a capacity Of 49,
600, 900 gallons. Water comes to Buff
falo from the river through two great
tunnels, both hewn out OF the solid
rock. The pumping station which
controls the supply is the largest In
the world. 1t has $3.50 horse power,
driving through the mains daily 49,
coo. 900 gallons, which Is almost equal
TO the flow of the River Thames. Buff
falo owns and operates its w water
pIant. Although the population of
Boston is twice that of Buffalo, twice
as much water is consumed in Buff
falo, as in Boston, and the cost and
revenue of the Boston water plant are
four times those OF Buffalo.-New
