Mercury Vapor Lamp of Quartz VIII
Furnish 1t in Any Quantity
Easy and Cheap.

A new, easy and cheap way to ster-
ilize water is reported from Paris. In
these days of war against microbes
many investigators are working upon
many methods; this particular n
makes use of the mercury vapor lamp.
Everyone knows these queer lamps
they are used at the ~postofiice, for in
stance-and knows the cadaverous,
sickly green light they give. They are
made of long glass tubes, within
which, almost in a complete vacuum,
mercury vapor is made luminous by
electricity.
The disagreeable color of the light
they give has prevented their common
use. But scientists cannot let them
alone, because the light is very rich
in those ultraviolet" rays-rays that
the eye cannot see, but which have
great power. One power they have is
completely to sterilize water. Mi.
crobes cannot live in the ultra violet
rays and it is to their presence tina or
binary sunlight owes what sterilizing
power it has.
But the glass of the vapor lamp
shuts off these rays almost complete
ly. This difficulty two French inven
tors-one of them a woman-have
overcome by making the tube of flu
sible quartz, which permits the rays tc
pass. With a little lamp only foul
inches long, using current costing less
than a. cent an hour, they have con
structed an apparatus that completely
sterilizes 600 quarts of water in tha'
time.
This sterilized water from
the list of scientific curiosities anC
makes it possible for anyone who ii
neal an electric light wire to make /
for himself.

Brampton, N. D.. June S.--A young
man named Mcdowell was arrested at
Hankinson on the charge Of setting fire
to the Cooper store in this city last
week. The fire destroyed the Cooper
building, the Kurth building, and a
lumber yard, causing loss of about
$4,000.
Carey Benson was also arrested at
Watertown, S. D., as an accomplice.
Benson is the man who gained some
fame last winter because it is alleged
that he was chasing an escaped muir
derer from Ransom county.
1t is suspected Mcdowell robbed the
postofice, which was in the Cooper
store, then set fire to the building.
There was at least $40 i'm silver in the
drawer in the postoffice. Following the
fire the lock and other parts of the
drawer were found in the ruins, but
there was no money. There were other
reasons for suspecting Mcdowell, and
it is claimed that he has made a con-
