BOYS FISHING FOB MONEY,

Elderly Gentleman Who Takes
a Hand.


Two boys on Market street. Philade1-

hand and fell on the bars of a grating.
where it balanced for an instant and
then tilted into the pit three feet below.
Instantly the fight between the lads was
forgotten, and they made common
cause Of the misfortune.
The smaller hoy displayed bump OF
inventive genius. He pulled from his
pocket a piece of Irvine. A nearby build
ing operation furnished a bit Of soft hot
pitch, which the lad tied to one end Of
the string. The boys then began to fish
for the elusive shining coin below. A
crowd gathered to watch the operation.
Three times the nickel was brought to
within a few inches of the surface,
each time to fall. when deeply drawn
signs escaped from the onlookers.
Give me that string!.' commanded an
elderly man, his hair tinged with gray.
He was fashionably CARRIED, and a smile
OF amusement went the ROUNDS OF the
growing crowd as the old fellow got
down on his knees and tried his luck
with the piece Of pitch, the coin and the
string
He fshed with no better success than
the boys. Finally he gave a snort of an
ser, rose, surveyed with a frown the
CRIME embedded deep in the fabric of
his expensive trousers, and then smiled

had become clear once more the boys
resumed their efforts to regain that per-

NATURES GREAT CLEANSER
Disinfeetant Always Existing lis
covered Only Some Sixty
Years Ago.

All down through the ages, when
nothing was known of the microbe
cause Of putrefaction, and when street
cfeaners-even house cleaners-were
almost unheard of. and streets and
houses and men were as dirty as thew
are row IN parts of Russia or China.
sickness and death, although frequent,
We're not SO frequent as they would
have been without natures watchful
care over her ignorant children.
Although man knew nothing about
it, there was a powerful disinfeetant
being constantly manufactured in the
worlds laboratory out of air and wat.
er, and this substance burned up the
refuse which man did not know
enough to destroy.
This purifier, which the chemists
discovered only about SO years ago, is
ozone. It is made up of oxygen atoms
ia modified combination, and is
sometimes called active oxygen. be-
cause OF its strong oxidfzing power.
It is produced during thunderstorms
by the action OF the electrical dis
charges. and IS also formed during the
rapid evaporation of water. Sea air.
therefore, contains it in small amount.
and also air in the neighborhood of
salt works, where a large amount Of
water is constantly being evaporated,
in order to get the salt.
It is produced artifciaIly by pass
ing an electric spark through oxygen,
or, better, by the action of high
tension current Of electricity without
sparkling. It is also made in decom-
posing water by electricity. A mix.
ture of ozone and oxygen appears at
the positive pole.
Ozone has a peculiar odor whence
its name. from Greek word meaning
to SMELL, which anyone may have no
tieed who has been near where light
ming bolt struck. It can also be smeIIed
sometimes during a thunderstorm. IL
is disinfectant by reason of it's active
power Of oxidizing many substances.
especially when they are moist, ard
so destroying their offensive and pois.
onous character. It is especially eff
ficacieus in destroying the noxious
emanations from putrefEing sub
stances, and thus acting as a deodor-
izer.
When breathing, even in small guam
titles, ozone is irritating to the mucous
membranes, and it is believed by some
that many of the respira-
tory troubles and the Influenza thai
prevail in damp winter weather are
owing to a weakening Of the resistant
powers of the mucous membranes
through the respired oxygen.

considered to be the flower of the flock,
is an especial favorite with his royal
grandfather. Like many other chill

Edward the other day the king asked
him what be was studying. oh, all

ioinder. Asked who Warbeck was the

was the son Of a king, but he wasn't;
