NEW THINGS IN ELECTRICITY

driven by steam turbine engine. Will
generate enough electricity to supply

Single generators of 25,OOO horse

Electric lighting has been vastly

world.

Effect of Ultra Violet Rays.

The ultra violet rays have a fatal
effect on bacteria. and as these rays
are abundantly developed by the mer-
curry vapor lamp, a device has been
designed abroad for the steriIizing OF
milk. which is accomplished effective
ly in a few minutes, it is said. The
milk flows in a thin stream along an
electric light. Demonstrations were
first made with water infected with
different kinds of bacteria, and II is
said that the water was purified in a
few minutes, without appreciably in
creasing its temperature. The result
is attributed to the ozone formed un-
der the influence OF the light, but the
demonstrations must be conducted
where there is sufficient room for the
light to burn freely. This method OF
sterilization, without heating or add
ing preservatives. is believed to have
great hygienic value in respect to
nursing children.
