DEATH CLAIMS PRELATE.
Archbishop Ryan Succumbs in Phila
deIphia.

Philadelphia, Feb. 13.-Serene and
prepared to meet his God whom he
had served so well, the Most Rever-
end Patrick John Ryan, D. d.. LII. D.,
archbishop of Philadelphia and metro
politan Of Pennsylvania, and one of
the great archbishops on the Amer
lean continent, passed peacefully into
eternity at 400 o'clock at the archie
piscopal residence, adjoining the ca
thedral in Logan square.
Archbishop Ryan was considered
the greatest of the line of bishops and
archbishops that have occupied the
Episcopal see of Philadelphia since its
erection in 1908. His reputation was
national and in his home city he was
accorded a popular recognition that
far surpassed that of any of his pred
ecessors, he having been on the
friendliest terms with men of all re-
ligious denominations. He was one of
the foremost pulpit orators in the
Catholic church in this country.
The archbishop was born in Thurles,
county Of Tipperary, Ireland, on Feb
ruary 20, 1881. His ancestors on the
paternal side were originally the
Organs, who figure in Irish history
His parents died when he was very
young and his youthful education was
received from the Christian brothers
at Aries. Young Ryan studied at the
Carlow seminary and later came tc
this country, going to st. Louis, where
he was appointed a professor in Ca
rondelt seminary. On September 8
1853, he was ordained a priest by
Archbishop Kenrick. In 1856 he was
made rector of the st. Louis cathedra
and four years later was placed II
charge of the church of The Annunci
alton. In 1872 Father Ryan was con
secrated coadiutator bishop of st
Louis, with the right of succession
and in 1884 he was appointed arch
bishop of Philadelphia.
During his twenty-seven years resi-
dence in Philadelphia he was an i'm
portant figure in the life of the city
participating in many of the public
functions held in that time. The Uni
versity of Pennsylvania gave him tn
degree of LII. d., an honor which h
had previously received from the Uni
yersity of Missouri,
Two great works of the archbishop
were what he did for the Indians an,

Water Purified by Ozone.

The city of Nice, France, now puri-
fies its drinking water. heretofore con-
sidered unwholesome, by means OF
ozone. There is an electric power
plant, worked by turbines, the force
produced being 11o volts, SEQ periods
per second, which is transformed into
an alternating current with power
of 1900 volts. A system consisting
of vertical copper plates, with spaces
between them in which are glass
plates between which tho electric
sparks decompose the air as 1t Is
forced through. The air becomes
ozone and azotic acid. The acid Is
retained and the ozone made avail
able by passing the decomposed air
through charcoal dust and particles OF
cement. The water then flows
through earthen tubes which are in a
space filled with ozone, which the wa
ter absorbs. After this the ozone is
extracted by having the water fall on
stone steps.
