converting the ordinary atmospheric
air drawn through the ozonier into
ozone -
1.-The water to be treated flows, un-
der its own pressure, from the city
mains through the pipe to its highest
point, and in descending the water
draws the ozone, by means of an as
pirator, from the ozonier, the water
and ozone thoroughly commingling.
/ This action is constant during the
progress of the water in it's downward
descent into the glass steriliZer where
the ozone ascends in millions of minute
bubbles, coming into intimate contact
with every particle of the water and
completely destroys all the disease
| producing bacteria contained in the
water. The ozonized water then finds
an outlet at the top of the sterilizer
and may be conducted into any suita-
BILE storage receptacle for future use.
1.-The reason for the destruction of
the bacteria by the ozone is very sim
pie. Chemical analysis of the bodies
of bacteria show that they are made
up OF about "a per cent of water and
lG per cent of solids. OF these solids
more than half is made up of carbon.
The strong affinity of oxygen for car
Ion is well known. Ozone, being a
concentrated form of oxygen. has an
even greater affinity for carbon; and
the moment bacillus comes in con-
tact with bubble of ozonized air the
carbon of its body combines with oxy.
gen, and the bacillus is consumed as
completely as if it had touched flame
Indeed, the process is analogous to
that of combustion. Just as though
burnt up, nothing remains of the bod
les of the bacteria but carbonic acid
gas which partially rises to the surface
of the water and passes off into the air
and is partially taken up by the water
This gives to it it's brightness ant
pheasant taste"

|FILTERING WATER BY OZONE SAID
TO BE CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE

Here in Rock Island, where the in
|stallation of a filter plant is about to
be undertaken, the following from the
current issue of the Literary Digest
concerning the new process of filtra-
ton by means of ozone should prove
of unusual interest:
Although widely known in Europe,
the publication of water by ozone has
made little Roadway in this country
on account of the cost of operation.
This obstacle has now been largely re-
moved by improvements i'm the machin-
| cry. S. II. Hart tells in the Electrical
Review of Chicago, Jan. 8, of small
plant installed in the town of Lindsay.
Ontario. where 100000 gallons a day
| are purified at an initial cost of $1,000,
with the expenditure of not more than
| 10-horse power. The ozone. as is Gus
tomary in all processes of this kind, is
tproduced by the action of a high ten
sion electric discharge on the oxygen
of the air. but the air is handled and
compressed to deprive it partially of
its moisture entirely by the action of
the flowing water itself. The compress
sion takes place in an underground
chamber into which the air is forced
by the aspirating action of the rush
ling current, and it is then sent through
the ozoniers under pressure and forced
into the water to do its work of oxid-
lizing impurities and killing harmful
lgerms.
1.-The process is described in more
detail in another article as follows:
In the apparatus shown in the il
Illustration, direct or alternating cur
trent usually of 10 volts) is taken
from the ordinary electric light circuit
