A NEW INVENTION.
An Ozone Pure Arifier Placed IN the
First National Bank.

What is known as an Ozone Pure
Aritier was placed in the First National
bank yesterday. 1t is a recent inven-
ton for the purifying of the air in
dwellings. offices, schools, hospitals.
etc. 1t is operated by electricity and
by merely turning a butten, you ar
able to produce, as claimed by its in
ventors, all the life sustaining powers
of fresh mountain air or the health CIV
ing breezes of the pinery woods. 1t
only requires the same current as that
taken To run an electric light No
chemicals are used in the apparatus
No foreign matter is introduced into
the natural air Silent discharges of
electricity produce the ozone, equal to
that of the outside atmosphere after a
thunderstorm. The electrodes or cylin-
ders used to produce ozone and to
which electricity is applied, are en-
closed in a neat substantial case of var
ious kinds of woods The cases are
made to hold from three to twelve
cylinders. Great things are claimed
for these air purifiers, and at the First
National bank there is a twelve cylin-
der cast installed
