Motion Through the Ether.

Physicists Aave concluded that the
earth in its motion does not drag the
ether along with it, and thus each
body on the earth's surface. in virtue
of its motion with the earth, is trav-
ersed by stream of ether. The ques.
ton thus arises Does light travel
through such a body with the same
speed along the stream of ether as it
does against it. or across it? The ex-
periments of MicLelson and Morley in
America lead to an Affirmative answer
for air. Lord Rayleigh. in England.
has obtained the same answer as to
liquids and is row engaged on re-
search in respect to the phenomena
relating to solids.

Publication of Water by Ozone.

An examination of the results OBJ
tained in the publication of water by
treatment with ozone has just been
concluded by Drs. Ohlmuler and
Prall, on behalf of the German impe-
rial health department. The appa-
ratus used was capable of treating
ten cubic metres of water per hour.
The water was sprayed through
hose to a bed of pebbles. beneath
which ozonized air was forced under
pressure The down flowing water
thus came into very intimate contact
with the up flowing current of air.
meteorological examinations were
made both before and after treat
ment. while the effect of the process
on the color, clearness and taste OF
the water was also observed. The
bacteria which survived appeared to
be of specially resistant type. since
their number was not reduced by pro-
longing the ozoning action. 1t was
found that the whole of the patho-
genie bacteria was entirely de-
stroyed by the process. None of the
germs of cholera or typhus species
survived. The process improves the
color of the water and has no bad
effect on the taste. The cost is given
at about cents per thousand gallons.

tual cost of ozonizing.

Transparence and InvisiblIity.'


Lord Rayleigh points out that per
fectly transparent objects are only
visible by virtue of non-uniform IL
Elimination. The moment we arrive
at uniform illumination they become
absolutely invisible to the eye, fact
which forcibly illustrates our optical
limitations Professor r. w. Wood,
of Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more, has devised method by means
of which uniform illumination can
be obtained and transparent objects
made to disappear. His apparatus con-
sists of a hollow glass globe, the
outer surface of which is painted with
Balmain's luminous paint, mixed with
hot Canada balsam; inside is placed
the object, and the hollow is viewed
through a small hole drilled in the
coating. If the inner surface be ex-
posed to bright daylight, sunshine or

Develop Electric Power.

The engineers who, in the interest

Baltimore, Md, have been investi-

Susquehanna river for the develop

been completed. with the exception
of certain details of hydraulic en-

Safety Stop for Elevators.

Owing to numerous accidents caus-

Ancestors of Rousseau.

Prof Eugene Ritter of Geneva has

before the courts charged with being
