New York thugs are no respecters of
persons. They sandbagged and robbed
Judge Bookstaver, of the common pleas
court, the other night with as much neat
ness and dispatch as if he had been
merely an ordinary citizen.
The opposition of Senator Irby, of South
Carolina, to the confirmation of Judge
Simonton, as against the recommendation
of Chief Justice Fuller, will hardly have
a feather’s weight with the Senate. This
does not mean that Irby is a light-weight.
The McGarrahan bill is a standing re
buke to congressional cowardice. The
old man’s claim appears to be just, but it is
combated by a rich and powerful corpor
ation. Congress has not the courage to
grant McGarrahan’s prayer against the
wishes of the corporation, nor the hardi
hood to throw him overboard and end his
suspense. He has grown old waiting for
justice, and will probably die still wait
ing. All that he asks of congress now is
permission to prove his title to the Ran
cho Panoche grant, in California.
The captain of the transatlantic steam
er Havel, which arrived at New York on
Thursday with a smashed bridge and
snapped deck stanchtions, says seas that
run mountain high are not mere figments
of the story writer's braiu, but actual
facts. On his way across, on the trip
just ended, his vessel was boarded by a
wave “fpUy sixty feet high” . that car
ried everything before it. As proof of
its immensity and weight he points to
steel rods and oak beams twelve inches
thick that were twisted and snapped by
the great wall of water that fell upon
them.
An extraordinary and disgraceful boy
cott at Louisville, Ky.. came to au end
I rid ay night. Lust Sunday a woman
died. Her husband, a poor man. owed an
undertaker a small balance on a bill for
burying his father. When the bereaved
husband sent for an undertaker he was
informed that the body would not be
touched by any member of the Under
takers’ Union until the old debt had been
paid. As there are no non-union under
takers in the city there was no funeral
until the husband had succee.hbd in bor
rowing $lO among bis acquaintances, with
which he bought a second-hated coffin from
a medical college, when he/and his family
buried the woman. Because of the under
takers boycott the body wa.s kept above
ground from Sunday until Friday night.
Making New States.
It was expected that this congress
would admit Utah, Arizona and New
Mexico into the Union. They have been
applying for admission for a long time.
Each of them has the necessary qualifi
cations, and there is no reason tvny the
application of either should lie denied.
The House has voted to admit Utah
and Arizona and will vote to admit New
Mexico. There is every reason to believe
the Senate will follow the lead of the
House. Asa matter of fact. Utah ought
to have been admitted several years
ago. and would have been if
there had not existed a doubt as to the
sincerity of the assertions of the Mor
mons that they had given up polygamy
forever. Even now there is a suspicion
that if the Mormons get control of the
new state they will legalize polygamy and
defy the United States government to in
terfere with it. This suspicion is seen in
the amendment, which was offered by
Representative Powers, of Vermont, to
the bill relative to polygamy, but the
opinion is expressed that the amendment
will be dropped before the bill
becomes a law.
The Mormons are sincere in giving up
polygamy. They understand that the
sentiment of the whole country is against
it, and that they could not make
it an institution of the new
state even if they should
try to do so. Utah has a very large gen
tile population, and, besides, many of the j
Mbt-sons here never regarded polygamy
with favor. The institution may there
fore be regarded as belonging to the past.
Utah promises to become a rich and
populous state. It will be many years be
fore Arizona and New Mexico will show i
much growth, but Utah has a thrifty pop- !
ulation, and, besides having a very con
siderable amount of good fanning lands,
is rich in minerals. Her estimated
population is 245,000. and her assessed
property 1120.000.000. Her output of met
als last year was valued at nearly $12,-
000,000.
Representative Oakes, of Alabama,
made a suggestion while the bill
was pending in the House that
ought to have been acted upon.
The Senate may consider it
in the shape of an amendment. It is that
the state of Nevada be joined to Utah.
Together they would make a splendid
state, which would not be the largest in
the union by any means. Nevada will
never amount to anything. She has only
45,000 inhabitants—2o,ooo less than she
had ten years ago. Her admission into
the union was one of those political out
rages the Republican party did not hesi
tate to commit in the bight of its power
when it wanted to accomplish a particu
lar object. Nevada ought to be blotted
out, and the least objectionable way to do
that is to make her a part of Utah.
It is tlie impression that all three of the
proposed new states are democratic, and !
will choose democratic senators. That is
not agreeable to the republicans, because
the addition of six democratic senators
will insure a democratic majority in the
Senate for a long time. However, it is
difficult to see what the republicans can
do. They cannot expect to have every
thing their way.
Some Beaufort Pensioners.
It was to be expected that Secretary
Smith’s pension policy would meet with
resistance. The fraudulent pensioners
are against him and his policy because
they see they are going to lose the fruit
of their rascality, and many of the honest
pensioners are against him because they
have been led to believe by an unscrupu
lous republican press and corrupt pension
attorneys that it is his purpose to make
war upon all pensions. The fact that Mr.
Smith is a southerner also helps to spread
the impression that he is hostile to pen
sions. While it is true that Mr. Smith is
a southerner he was not a participant in
the civil war. He was too young to do
duty as a soldier in that conflict. Had
he been old enough he would have carried
a musket on the southern side.
But the fact that he is a southerner
does not prevent him from doing exact
justice to the pensioners of the union
armies. He knows what the pension
laws are, and ho will comply with them
strictly. All that he seeks to do is to
prevent the government from being de
frauded by a lot of scamps who never did
any fighting, and who have succeeded in
getting pensions because the republican
leaders were so anxious to get rid of the
surplus which the first Cleveland adminis
tration accumulated that they encouraged
the granting of pensions upon insufficient
proofs. In that way thousands of men
succeeded in getting on tho pension rolls
who have no legal right to be there. It is
Secretary Smith’s pu.-pose to get them off
the roils. He is going to have a pretty
lively fight to accomplish his purpose, but
unless Congress interferes to prevent
him he will accomplish it.
He will find a fine field for operation
just across tho river from Savannah.
Beaufort county, S. C., furnished a large
number of colored troops. In many in
stances they represented these patriotic
citizens of the north who, like the la
mented Artemas Ward, were willing “to
send all their wives’ relations to
the front” rather than go themselves.
Many of those Beaufort county blacks
never had an ache nor a pain, and worked
more or less regularly for twenty-five
years. They are now affected with “mis
ery in m’ back” due to alleged exposure
while in the federal service. They would
never have had this “misery” had not
Commissioner Raum’s pension policy
made it to the interest of the pension
sharks to hunt them up and tell them
about it.
If Secretary Smith will give Beaufort
county early attention he will save the
treasury a good many thousand dollars
and send back to work numbers of strong
men who are now idlers, living on the
bounty of the government.
It is to be hor*Jd that the Georgia del
egates to the farmers’ congress will re
peat when they go home what Col. Need
ham, of Massachusetts, told them about
tho work of country road improvement in
his state. Massachusetts is probably
ahead of any other state in the Union in
the good roads movement, and as Col.
Needham is a close observer, his state
ments and advice will prove valuable to
our people when they shall have been
made to see that better country roads
means greater prosperity. It is a cause
for congratulation that the farmers’ con
gress has interested itself in the move
ment.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1893.
Hunt Down the Murderer*.
A iittle more than a week ago a colored
woman was killed in a house on South
Broad street under circumstances that
leave little or no doubt that she was
brutally murdered. The man who killed
her has not been arrested. A few days
ago a white man was killed by a negro
on Skidaway Island. If the facts are as
stated in the newspapers the killing was
an unprovoked murder of the most hor
rible kind. The negro dealt his victim a
blow with an ax when the latter was un
suspicious of danger. The murderer has
not been arrested.
It is but fair to assume that the officer
whose duty it is to hunt down murderers
in this county has not been neglectful of
his duty in these two cases. There are,
doubtless, good reasons why he has not
been successful thus far. it is highly
important, however, that he should prose
cute his search with great vigor, and
that he should arrest both of the accused
men. The escape of both or of either of
them would be such a failure of justice
as would encourage the committing of the
crime of murder in this county, and
would lead the people to resort to lynch
law if a particularly fiendish murder
should be committed and the party com
mitting it should ba caught.
It seems to us that the county commis
sioners should inquire as to what is being
done towards apprehending the murder
ers in the cases ’to which attention is
called, with the view of finding out if all
is beingdone that it is possible to do, and
of providing assistance if help is thought
to be necessary. We cannot af
ford to let these murders pass
without making every possible effort to
arrest and punish the murderers. The
people are talking about them in a quiet
way, a'nd any neglect to see that the law
is vindicated will bear bitter fruit.
There may lie no visible indignation at
these murders, but it exists, and the oc
casion when it will crop out may occur at
any time.
A full report should be made of what
ever has been done to capture the mur
derers so that the people may know that
the proper steps have been taken to bring
them to justice. They a fie entitled to this
information and they will be better satis
fied if they are shown that the authori
ties have done their duty.
The Parkhurst Raids-
There are signs of a growing sentiment
in New York against the raids which are
being made upon the homes of unfortu
nate women in that city by the police.
The police are driven to make the raids
by the course pursued by the society of
which Dr. Parkhurst is the director. A
few nights ago a respectable house, within
a block of the Fifth Avenue hotel, was
raided, anil all the inmates carried to the
police station, where they remained dur
ing the night They were released the
following morning by the police -justice,
having been able to establish their
respectability without trouble. No
amount of money is a satisfactory com
pensation for an outrage of that kind, and
it is a difficult matter to get any compen
sation at all. A suit against the city
would drag along for years; and the re
sult of it might not even pay for the time
occupied in prosecuting it. If these'raids
go on, people who visit New York will be
afraid to stop anywhere except in first
class hotels. They will avoid board
ing houses for fear of being made parties
to one of Dr. Parkhurst's scandals.
.Many, who cannot afford to stop at the
high-priced hotels, will stay away from
New York altogether.
The New 1 York papers are largely re
sponsible for the condition of affairs that
exist in that city. Instead of pointing
out the damage that Dr. Parkhurst is
doing, they encourage all sorts of trans
actions which they think will furnish a
sensatiou for their news columns. The
aim of the great majority of the
newspapers now a days is to get hold of
something that is sensational without re
gard to the truth. Competition between
them is so keen that they have pushed
aside the old time methods for obtaining
facts, and write their articles from a
standpoint they think will be an attractive
one.
How much better it would be if they
would seek less diligently for sensations
and more earnestly for the truth ! The
people of all classes of society would then
have a better chance for justice and for
having their rights respected. Even Dr.
Parkhurst would not be given more prom
inence than he deserves. His lack of
charity and his anxiety for notoriety
would be made clear. He and men like
him would not be permitted to pose as
Christian teachers while showing a want
of Christian charity.
Gen. Emil Frey, whose election as
president of the Swiss republic, was told
in our dispatches, is very well known in
this couutry, especially by those of both
the north and the south who had any
thing to do with Libby prison during the
war. Ho emigrated to this country from
Switzerland in 1860, and enlisted in an
Illinois regiment. He soon rose to the
rank of major. At the battle of Gettys
burg he was captured by the confederates
and sent to Salisbury prison. From there
he was transferred to the Libby prison,
in which he remained until January,
1865, as a hostage for a confederate
captain, under sentence of death in a
northern prison. After the war he re
turned to Switzerland, entered polities,
was successful, and for seven years repre
sented liis country as minister at AVash
ington. A year ago he was elected Vice
president of the Swiss republic, and has
now been promoted, according to the cus
tom of that country.
The Florida Citizen, anew paper “to
be published every day in the year” at
Jacksonville, made its first appearance
on Friday—an evidence that it places no
faith in luck. Its editor is Mr. Lorettus
Metcalf, formerly a member of the staff
of the Forum Magazine, with which pub
lication he won his spurs. The Citizen is
a six-column eight-page quarto, has a
fair telegraphic service, and is solidly
democratic. It will devote itself to
printing the news, booming Florida and
inserting a voice into whatever discus
sion of public questions may come up. Its
first issue was quite promising. AVe
wish it well.
Ex-President Harrison will go to Cali
fornia about Feb. I to begin his series of
lectures on international law before the
Stanford University. It is said that he
has nearly completed the lectures, and
that the Hawaiian matter is dealt with
extensively therein.

CUKHENT COMMENT.
Worst Thing About the Bill.
From the Boston Globe iDem. i.
The worst thing that we have noticed
about the Wilson tariff bill is that zatfer is
on the free list. By the way, what is zatfer,
any way ?
Lewelling- Has Not Paresis.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch (Rep.).
A Kansas dispatch says that Gov. Lewelling
has symptoms of paresis. If so. it is the first
case on record where the Populist party has
furnished a candidate with sufficient brain
tissue to give the disease a foothold.
Still Harping on the Election.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).
Dr. Chauncey M. Depew is still theo
rizing on the elections of a year ago; and his
idea is that "all the long-haired men and
short-haired women combined to bring about
the change.’’ It will be news to the shopping
worn n that they wear their hair short, and
to tho football men that they are entitled to
special honor for the tariff reform victory.
The McKinley Bill's Precedent.
From the Boston Herald find.).
Mr McKinley brought in his tariff bill May
8. is9o. and proposed to allow It to be 'gener
ally debated tor a period of two days, and
then that live minute speeches should be al
lowed to run on one week. At the end of two
weeks the bill came to a vote and was passed,
and no amendments, excepting those offered
by the majority, were permitted to be voted
on. It would be well for the protectionists to
recall these votes when the Wilson bill Comes
up for consideration and an effort Is made to
expedite things.
Prom the Malority Standpoint.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.)
The buyer wants to bo flooded with goods,
and they cannot he too cheap for him. To his
mind it is shockingly seltlsn for the manu
facturing capitalist to ask him to agree to
pay high prices for the manufacturer s bene
tit. Nine tenths of the buyers are poor.
They cannot afford to give a bounty to the
richer manufacturer, it is preposterous for
the latter to ass it. It is wrong for the gov
ernment to frame its tax laws so that ho can
compel it. 'flits enforced charity of the poor
to the rich is as bad as robbery.

Depew at Monte Carlo.
Chauncey M. Dcpew visited the gambling
rooms at Monte Carlo to-night for tho first
time in his life, says a special from Nice lo
the New York World.
It was at the top of the evening in the Ca
sino. and the coin was clinking back and
forth over the tables as mcrrtlv as ever it
went into the New York Central ticket office
window. Mr. Dept* studied the game as
carefully us he ever audited his company s uo
lounts. After his companion, a lady, had
supp’d a 5 franc piece on one of the little
blank spares at the end of the row of figures
and had drawn back three of the same pieces,
while other people who put their coin on real
high figures got nothing at all. Mr. Depew
seemed somewhat puzzled. He could not for
bear however, blushing with pleasure at his
companion's valor, and advised her to try
again. >he did so and lost. Mr. Dcpew
thought luck might turn; but it didn't, and
the other.s-franc piece went back to the bank.
"Well, you are even with the game.’.’ re
marked Mr. Depew. Then after pondering
awhile, he added:
"1 think I begin to see through it."
More consideration of the divagations of
the little ball led him to further enlighten his
companion.
"You see. ” he said "the bank gets it all."
And that seemed to be all Mr. Depew cared
to learn aboht roulette, for he left the big
hall an I passed on through the'smaller one.
where the women in the panels on the wall
are attired in riding habits and other close
fitting costumes, and through that again to
the last room of all, where the women ip the
panels wear only a brief a; o’.ogy in gauze,
ana where nothing less dainty than a golden
louis ever soils the green of the talles.
Trente ef quurante interested Mr. Depew lit
tle. Here is where the bright piling is done.
"Don t understand," was the only comment
he made and soon he left the gaming house
and took the 11) o'clock train for Nice.
Anecdotes of Mrs, Inchbald.
Mrs Inchbald was not an actress of any
special merit, but of respectable mediocrity,
says the St. Louis Republic. She stuttered
habitually, but her delivery was never im
peded by this defect on the stage. Mrs. Inch
bald was a person of very remarkable char
acter. lovely, poor, with unusual mental pow
ers. and of irreproachable conduct She had
a sing dar uprightness and unworldliness,
and a childlike and simplicity of
manner, which, combined with her personal
loveliness and halting, broken utterances,
gave to her conversation, w hich was both hu
morous and witty, a most peculiar and com

Fanny Kemble, in her “Records of a Girl
hood "writes; "Once, after traveling all day
in a pouring rain, the dripping coachman of
fered her his arm to help her out, when she
exclaimed, to the great amusement of her fel
low travelers:
■ Oh. no.no: Y-y-y-yon will give, mo my
death of cold: Do bring me a a a-a-a dry

"Ccming off the stage one evening she was
about to sit down by Mrs. Siddons in tho
green room. when, suddenly looking at her
magnificent neighbor, she said:
' "No, I won't ss s sit by you. You're t-t-t
too handsome!’
“In w hich respect she certainly need have
feared no competition, and less with my aunt
than any one. their stylo of beauty being so
absolutely dissimilar.”

"I was down in Kentucky not long ago,”
said the drummer to the Detroit Free Press
man. "And I met an old man one day in the
store where X had just sold a bill of goods,
and got to talking to him.
” You look a good deal like my boy,’ he
said after quite a chat.
" Yes.’said X. ‘He must be quite good
looking.’
“ 'Purty peart boy,’ said he.
" How old is her’
“ 'Thirty-nine, goin’ on 40; and used to he
likely in politics, but he quit.’
"‘Why?’
“ ‘He stole a hoss.’
“ That comes of a man making a mistake
in what he steals. How did it happen?*
” ‘Well, you see, he wuz peart in politics,
and he wanted to go to the legislator mighty
bad. but he wuz a republiktn. and republikins
ain’t got no show in Kaintuckv. I told him
so. but.he said he wuz bound to go to Frank
fort ef it took a leg, so at last I says to him,
Jecmes, it s a doggoued sight suhrer fer vou

-Sence that,’ continued the old man, ■ Jeoim s

One of the great merits that was claimed for
the wire nail at its introduction, was, accord
ing to the Age of Steel, its hoidiug powers
This has been accentuated lately by the ad t
vent of what IS known as the chemical-coated
wire nail. The nail is made of somewhat
lighter guage than the average standard wire
nail, but lias the same number of nails to tho
pound, and is sold by the count instead of bv
the weight. Thus a certain number of nails
is guaranteed to the keg. and this number is
branded on the keg. 1h; nail itself is coated
with a preparation Whicn gives it extraordi
nary holding power; in fact, when the nail is
once driven in it is said to be almost impossi
ble to pull it out again.

The smoking of eigarrettes or tobacco by
bovs under the age of 16 has been practically
stopped in Connecticut by what is known a*
the aati-cigarrette law. which made the sale
of eigarrettes and tobacco a misdemeanor A
substitute was recently put on the market by
a_ manufacturer, who. according to the New
York Evening Post, evidently thinks there
is a fortune iu/tin- passion which no; shave
for imitating then- elders. The sufcsiitnte.i.a:
the cinnamon citarrette. which does not
contain any tobacio. and therefore does
not violate the law. it is made of
einuamon ) ark. shredded when wet so a--,
to re-s-mlle tobacco. The smoking of
these eigarrettes. whi h have a not < npleas
ant laste. has leeomc a fad with the ( cn
neettcut youth. >o common is the prncti.e
that I oys of 6 and 8 years are seen puffing the
cinnamon substitute. Parents, however, re
gard it as only a little less objectionable than
the toracco cigarette, because it creates in
the bov a fancy for smoking lowhi.h he will
almost inevitably yield when be gets out of
knickerbockers. In Hartford a remonstrance
against the sale of the c.nnamon cigarette
has t een ma le bv tne principals of schools,
to whom complaint was made by parents, and
in some instances the dealers have promised
to stop the sale of it.
Qt the late great scientist. Prof. Tyndall, a
Philadelphia paper says that the ruling mot
ive of his character was strikingly shown by
the f act tha: after h's lecturing tour in the
United States in IST.' he returned to England,
but gave the money he had made on that tour
to the founding of scientific scholarships at
three of the leading colleges in the Frated
States, in this act he gave no!ire not only
that he had not come here for the usual pur
pose of foreigners, but at once revealed to
those who did not know him well the supreme
interest he felt in science as a study. This
zeal was what enabled his reputation to with
stand the assaults which grew out of his
so-called theological writings, which were
Interesting chiefly as indicating the trend ot
a decidedly brilliant, but unorihordox school,
of which he became the acknowledged head.
His manner and methods as a sjieaker laid
deep hold on every one who heard him. He
had the happy faculty of gathering profound
knowledge on many subjects and of impart
ing that knowledge to a popular audience in
language which charmed the ear while en
lightening the mind. He had even more than
this. Neglecting none of the scientifie
methods of ascertaining the truth, he seemed
also to possess the intuitive fa ulty to an un
usual degree, and hence of reaching conclu
sions by quicker nroeesses than are eomraoa
to even great men.
Two young men of Boston, while on a
journey through India last summer, wit
nessed an exhibition by a fakir in a small vil
lage outside of Calcutta. The fakir was per
forming the usual exjverience of making a
rope descend from thejelouds and a man-come
down the rope, who ascended t v the same
route after having his head cut off, says the
Calcutta Mirror. The exhibition was in an
open square before 1.0:0 spectators. Every
one saw plainly what was happing. The two
Bostains had cameras withdhem, and took
numerous snan shots of the exhibition in its
various stages. They intended to write a
subject for a magazine, and illustrated, direct
from photographs. They developed the
plates with much interest upon their return
to Boston recently. They were nonplussed
when they saw the results. The photographs
revealed the fakir, surrounded by the crowd,
with astonishment, b iwilderment and horror
pictured on their faces: but the extraordinary
decapitation they had witnessed did nut show
upon the sensitive plates. Xhe crowd stand
ing around were apparently looking at noth
ing in the photographs. What they saw had
not happened at all e u t thev merely saw it in
their mind’s eye. While th ire is nothing re
markable in the force of suggestion, when ap
plied to one person, it would not be impossi
ble for an impression, such as the event which
the Boston men saw, to be conveced to one
person in a hypnotic condition. he circum
stances at the Indian fakir s exhibition were,
however, entirely different. Here were 1.000
people, fully awake, who all saw in their
mind exactly the same picture, and had no
doubt that the wonderful events actually hap
pened.
Ninety-nine out of a hundred druggists
handle cigars and tobacco to a greater or less
extent. Hut few of them realize, however,
the necessity for caution as regards the
propercaie of the articles of merchandise,
which this character of the weed itseif re
quires on account of its perishableness. It is
perhaps not generally known, says I'haim i
ceutical Era, that tobacco is more susceptio'e
to injuryfrom climatic influences and contact
with foreign substances than any other plant
known; more particularly when manufactured
(either in plug form or in the shape of tineout,
or in the cigar itself i tobacco will take up and
absorb any foreign flavor, scent or character,
which will entirely change its aroma or us e.
For instance, if cigars are kept in a da up
place, they will absorb the moisture in
the atmosphere, and as a result there is
a heavy, soggy, spongy article, which is
bound to produce a strong, rank and disagree
abletisteandflavor.no matter how well it
may liaye been previously seasoned. For
this reason, cigars that are sold for use at
the seashore arc selected from the oldest or
best seasoned stock. No experienced dealer
or smoker would think of taking a fresh
Clear on board an ocean-bound steamship,’
inasmuch as the ordinary domestic "twofor ’
would smoke and taste equally as well as the
tinest imported Key West cigars on board
the ship. Cigars and tobacco should be loot
as far as possible, from coming in contact
with such articles as camohor, ammonia,
vinegar, coffee, spices, and similar substances
The above hints, if observed, will avoid and
prevent many complaints from dealer or con
sumer as to brands of cigars and tobacco
which are known to have a standard value
for quality, and which under proper treat
ment have heretofore given the best of satis
faction.
The production of ozone has hitherto been
so expensive as to greatly limit the use of this
most valuable deodorizer, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. An attempt is now being made in
London to produce ozone on such u scale that
it will be aiailable for innumerable hygienic
and commercial purposes. The apparatus
used is electrical, tho ozonizer consists of a
number of serrated strips formed up into
grids, and separated from each other ex
piates of gla.ss. On connecting these grids
with opposite terminals of a high potential
alternating current, what is called a "brush
discharge ’ takes place on the glass from the
point of the serrations, and the characteristic
smell of oz.one is quickly apparont. To make
the oz.one in still greater volume a large
number of these plates are so arranged
lit a suitable case that when the discharge is
established a current of air is passed throiu-h
the apparatus, whence it emerges heavTlv
charged with ozone. Before the air is passed
into the ozonizer it is filtered, cooled and
dried, so that its purity is insured. One of
the indutnes into which this commercially
produced ozone is likely to be introduced tV
the bleaching of paper pulp, it is stated that
this process can thus be reduced in cost bv
three-eighths to one half of what it now en
tails. Xt is also suggested to use the ozonizer
in the preparation of oils for painting, the
same result as to drying profe-tie* being ob
tamed as by boiling the oil. with the added
advantage of great improvement in its clear
ness and color. In one branch of the wine
and spirit trade, the ozonizer is sure to he
widely used. When subjected to
the action of ozone raw spirits
or new wines acquire in a few
hours the same mellowness and bouquet as if
they had been kept in the cellar for years In
the bleaching of sugar and the oxidizing of
varnishes ozone will prove of special service
Another use of o -.one is the removal of tannin
from tea. and a company has neen forme • for
operating the process. Asa disinfectant
ozone Wiil have before it a specially wide
field of usefulness, as a gaseous disinfectant
which has not the unpleasantness of sulphur
ous acid and chlorine, is still wanting. Ozon
ited air will kill bacteria, and the number of
bacteria in the air of a room can be apprecia
bly diminished by working an ozonizer The
statistics q mted ny Mr. Andreoli, tho inven
tor of the new method of producing ozone
electrically, as to the relations between the
quantity of so-called ozone in the air and the
prevalence of cholera are worth careful con
sideration in this connection.
