In excavating dirt in large quantities
it is common practice to use teams and
scrapers to draw the dirt to a dump.
or else to employ large number Of
men to shovel the dirt into carts to
be drawn away. The former method
is slow work, in view of the small
loads which can be taken, while the
latter is expensive because of the cost
of labor and the necessity of keeping
the teams idle while the loading is
going on.

may be secured to the envelope by
moistening it, the proper coin being
inserted in the pocket thus formed be-
fore the flap is sealed. When the let
ter reaches the central Office, the
pocket is opened and the stamp ap-
piled. In view of the recent installa-
ton of the free rural delivery and col
lection of mail in many country dis
tricts this idea should prove especially
valuable, as it saves the collector
trouble of purchasing the stamps when
he reaches the main office, a task
which he is at present often called
upon to perform. In the city it will
be convenient to drop the letter in the
mail box without the necessity of a
trip to the nearest accommodating
drug store or sub-station. Fhe cost of
the device is small, and they can be
purchased in large quantities to insure
their being at hand when wanted.

Us. - o.oas n water.


Some interesting details have lately
been published concerning the use Of
ozone in purifying water. Ozone is
oxygen in a highly active condition
end it occurs in small quantities in
the air Of the sea and Of the noun
tains. Near Berlin an establishment
has been erected for the purpose of ex-
perimenting on the effects Of ozone in
Kidding water of the microbes it con-
tains. Ozonized air containing from 2
tc 8 grams per cubic meter "a cubic
meter equals $4,000 gallons and a gram
is about Is grains) is passed upward
into tower which is filled with flints
and in its passage meets the water
coming down and thus acts upon it. 1t
has been shown that, as regards water
from the, Spree, the number of mi
crobes was decreased from 100000 per
cubic centimeter (061 cubic inch) to
10, which is practically nil The total
cost is set down at IS cents per 1000
cubic feet. Ozone has long been
known as natures disinfectant," and
its application to the publication of
water becomes, therefore, a matter of
great interest. If the cost can be re-
duced this mode of publication may
have chance Of widespread adoption.

A Curious Rain fall.

On Jan. of this year rain fell ut
Periers in France for several hours.
The rainwater collected looked like lye,
or like water containing clay. It was
odorless, of earthly taste and slightly
saline. After twenty-four hours it
precipitated an abundant deposit that
was almost entirely silicious. Linen
clothes and the leaves of plants were
covered with considerable silicious
matter AS previous rains had thor
oughly wetted the ground this phe-
nomenon is not to be explained by
supposing that large amount of ST.
licious dust had been carried into the
air by winds and subsequently precipi-
tated by rain. The most probable ex-
PLANTATION is that the water of the pre-
vious rains lay in very shallow pools
on the surface of silicious ground and
that by high winds (Which were Oh
served) the water was raised into the
air and subsequently descended as
rain.
