Electric Ozonizer
Makes Fresh Air
You may now have all the pure,
Invigorating air you want It Is
made by electricity. A small elec
tric machine, called the Ozonizer,
placed In the room where you work
or sit, makes mountain air for you
as long as you want It
In high altitudes the wholesome
qualities of the air are due to the
fact that a considerable amount of
the oxygen of the air exists in the
form of ozone. Ozone is a sort of a
tonic, as it were, for the red blood
cells a germ destroyer, and has the
power to neutralize gases and odors
from organic decay. This form of
oxygen is also present In the air of
any locality after a thunderstorm.
There now is a means of supply
ing ozone to the workers In base
ments, to the families at home, and
to the sick In the hospitals. A box
Is fitted with some small square
steel plates from which project
several ' thousand points similar to
the teeth of a saw. The plates are
stood on edge so that the teeth
facing each other form narrow pas
sages. This may be attached to an
electric light circuit The electric
current sets in motion a fan which
causes a current of air to pass into
the box through holes in the bottom
and forces it through the passages
between the steel points. The elec
tric current makes tiny sparks on
these steel points and the air is here
subjected to a miniature thunder
storm and undergoes the same pro
cess which nature employs for
"toning" up the air. The ozone
bearing air is released from the box
through a fine screen and per
meates the air of the room in wfchfh
the ozonizer is placed.
The size intended for use In fac
tories is about two feet high. The
size for the doctor or the nurse
about half that size.
A person suffering from pulmon
ary tuberculosis, catarrh, asthma, or
any sort of Inflammation of the
lungs, throat, nose or bronchial
tubes can take the fresh air treat
ment at home. The ozonizer placed
by the side of the bed on a level
with the pillow, allows the patient
to breathe the ozone as it leaves the
screen. There is a special attach
ment for use in aggravated cases of
asthma, tuberculosis, etc., which
enables the sufferer to inhale the
vitalized air direct from the ma
chine. And so by the aid of a small
machine and an electric current
many, who would otherwise be bust
ling off to a "sunnier clime," may
remain quietly at home and those
who must remain in basements or
other places difficult to ventilate,
may have a constant supply of fresh
air.
Large carpets which can be
heated by electricity have been put
upon the German market by Baur
& Co., of Zurich, Switzerland.
Recent Popularity
' of Electric Signs
Very few realize how rapidly the
appearance'Of our cities at night is
changing as the popularity of the
electric sign grows and grows.
The .electric sign is not exactly
an Innovation, but recent Improve
ments In sign lamps and attention to
design have made a new sign a
sign of the times, as it were which
is in evidence in every modern com
munity. In Chicago, for example, the first
electric sign was used, twenty-three
years ago in a political campaign;
eleven years from that time there
were about twenty electric signs In
the city, and within the last twelve
years, this number has increased to
nearly 8,000. .
Other cities have, of course, un
dergone the same periods of slow
growth and sudden transformation
in the matter of electric slgnB, Chi
cago being only an example.
In Washington the growth In the
use of electric signs has been a
substantial one. Local and out-of-town
advertisers are finding the
electric sign a great aid in promot
ing the sale of their goods here.
The new Mazda sign lamp has
been a great factor in this rapid
development for the brilliant white
light which results from its use has
doubled the beauty and artistic
merit of the electric sign, making
it more effective and desirable for
every form of electric advertising,
or sign lighting, so that It Is now
used by every business which
wishes to appeal to the public.
Churches are rapidly taking It up.
A cross outlined in electric lamps
on the steeple of St Mel's Catholic
Church, at Forty-third avenue and
Washington boulevard, Chicago, is
somewhat of an Innovation. The
cross is nine feet high and six feet
wide. Each side of It Is outlined by
thirty four-candlepower lamps. This
cross can be seen very distinctly at
night for a distance of twenty-five
city blocks in a direction at right
angles to the arms of the cross.
Rev. Father McDonald, who is In
charge of the church, expresses
himself as well pleased with the
results obtained by the use of elec
tricity for lighting this church emblem.
Housewives on Ranches
Use Electric Flatirons
Electric flatirons are being ex
tensively .used by the wives and
daghters of ranchmen located in
the agricultural sections of north
ern Colorado. Energy is supplied
throughout the district between
Lafayette and Greely by the North
ern Colorado Power Company,
which has a large and increasing
motor and lighting load in the ranch
country. Out-of-door Ironing is
very popular.
Government Buys
Twelve Big Trucks
The United States Navy Depart
ment has bought twelve electric
trucks for the use of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks. Eight of these
are 5,000-pound trucks, the other
four being standard five-ton trucks,
and all are now equlpped'with lead
batteries. The distribution will be
as follows: To the Boston navy
yard, one 5,000-pound truck; to the
Portsmouth (N. H.) navy yard, one
five-ton truck; to the New York,
Norfolk, and Mare Island navy
yards, one of each size; to the
Philadelphia, Charleston, and Puget
Sound yards, and public works of
ficer. Island of Guam, one each of
the 5,000-pound size.
Electric Railways
In Universal Favor
Here are a few examples of the
way electric traction is working its
way into every land and into the
life of every people.
The use of electric current in
China Is rapidly increasing. Power
stations recently have been started
In Hankow and in Wuchow.
Japan has thirty-one electric
railways, with a trackage of 567
miles.
The first attempt at applying
electric traction to a Spanish steam
line recently was made "by the
Southern Railways Company.
An electric railway in Russia,
connecting Sebastopol with Jalta
and Alushta, is in contemplation.
The cost is estimated at $14,500,000.
Electric Picture Show
Used for Advertising
A manufacturing company which
extensively advertises its products
promotes publicity by means of a
moving picture machine, carried
about on a motor truck. In order
to be sure at all times of a source
of current supply, a generator has
been bolted to the truck, and so
fixed as to be driven by the auto
mobile engine, while the automobile
stands at the place of exhibition.
Little Disc Stove
Highly Attractive
There is an electric disc stove in
the shops which almost has super
natural power for tempting fhe
cook and the near-cook to display
her skill.
The housewife, the college girl, or
the bachelor girl revels in the de
light of preparing a hasty meal or
substantial spread when she has at
her command this little stove
ready to attach to any lighting
socket
X HIM
This particular type of car uses less electricity per mile I
than any other commercial electric automobile.

Wireless Stations
Show Great Gains
From January, 1910, the wire
leBs stations in the world made an
increase of 4B4, reaching a total
of 1,217. Of this number 098 are
onships and 219 on land.
A feature of the Panama Pa
cific Exposition which will be held
in San Francisco in 1915, will be
the wireless telegraph station on
Telegraph Hill. It is planned to
erect the largest station ever built
on this occasion, by means ol
which the passage of the fleet of
battleships through the canal can
be continually . signaled. Its
range must therefore be about
4,000 miles.
An all-French wireless system
has been inaugurated to cover the
whole world. Stations in South
Orpn and Dahomey -will be in
operation before the end of the
present 'year, and one in Mada
gascar soon will follow.
Keyless Clock Runs
By Electricity
A keyless clock that runs with
accuracy for two years without
any attention whatever is one of
the remarkable manufactured
products of Baltimore. After
having been thoroughly tested by
the supervising architect of the
Treasury Department, Washing
ton, it has been installed in a
number of Government buildings,
including postoffiees and United
States court houses, in both of
Which absolute time accuracy is
essential.
The self-winding or operating
apparatus is controlled by a. pair
of inexpensive galvanic batteries.
It Is especially adapted to use in
public buildings, factories, offices,
private residences,- and other
places where accurate time is es
sential or desirable. Clocks for
private use have been sent to
Canada and Cuba, and inquiries
have been received from many
foreign countries, including Chijm,
Japan, South Africa, and Brazil.
