AIDS cAMPHoR INDUSTRY.

Camphor is derived from the
twigs clipped from the tree at reg

heretofore have been done by hand,
which made it tedious and rather
expensive operation. An American
inventor has come to the rescue of
this industry by inventing a ma

START CHLOR|NATING OF CITY WATER

The two new ehlorinating plants for the Norwich water supply ended their first day of operation Wednesday, one of them at the meter house on the pipe inc from Stony Brook reservoir and the oth- CT at the meter house an the pps line a few hundred feet below t,e dam at Fairview reservoir.
 As explained Wednesday by R. B. Mowry erecting engineer for the Wal lace and Tiernan Co.,, of New York, soio makers of these chlcrinating plants, Nor wich is now provided with the same kind of protection against bacteria in the wa ter as most of the largest cites n the world have. including New York, Paris. London, Chicago and most O. inc inn portant cities of the United States.
 This process of treating water with chlorine gas, said Mfr Mowry has been extensively adopted ever since experi- ments in 1914 demonstrated it's effective ness. There is absolutely no danger from its use. It does not change the physical characteristics of the water, but it does act as perfect preventive aganst bacteria and organic matter in the wa ter, since the dhrarina performs aN oxidation process on the water that re- moves the bacterial contents. The op- eraticns of the two plants are au-omstlc in every detail which provides asainSt the possibility of overdosing or underdes- ing the water with the chlorine. No trace of the chlorine can be detected after ii has travelled twenty feet in the nam from the point where it was put in and by the time the water reaches the consumer the gas has been completely mixed with the water.
 Because of the conditions under which the chlorinating is done on the two Nor wich pipe lines, there is difference in the two chlcrinating plants that have been installed. On the Stony Bro1K line the gas goes into the main 7gaiust fn so pound pressure.

 Engineer Mowry stated that the amount of chlorine used here Wednesday was in the proportion of three-tenths of chlorine to million parts of water. The machines eah be adjusted to feed more or less chlorine into the water and tests will be made from time 10 time through analysis of the water NY the state departmental health to see rAether the chlorine treatment needs t. re in- creased or diminised.
 In Kansas City, which has one of the worst water supplies in the country, lf pounds of chlorine to one miF'on gallons of wa.er is the regular treatment.
 At the Stony Brook meter house there was plenty of room te set up the motor, pump and other fixtures of the chlorinat- ing plant without enlarging the house. but at Fairview. brick. addition had to be built on the meter house. All the work of installing the plant had been done by the water department men un- der the supervision of Engineer Mowry. William Blicq of the local department who has done the Work or seItlns up the two plants is to be in charge of them and another employe of the department will also be instructed in the details.
 An emergency operating board has been set up at each plant so that in case of trouble, there is an alternate operat- ing board to fall back on. All the metal parts of the chlorinating machine. where the gas comes into contact with the met al are of platinum. silver, tungsten oi other special metals upon which the gas has no effect The life of the plant It was stated, should be from eight to ter years under good conditions.
 At Fairview. where there are two mains from the reservoir, Supervisor Charles W. Burton has had a 24-inci cross4over put in between the two main: short distance below tn emeter house so that if only one main is in use ana She water is chlorinated in that th' supply that reaches the city will be com pletely chlorinated.
