Origin of Oion.
Ozone, which Is an allotroplc form
of oxygen, has long beeu recognlxed
as nn active purifying agent In the
atmosphere owing to Its powerful oxi
dizing qualities, but the question of Its
origin hits beeu much disputed. The
Investigations of Ileurlet, In France,
navo led him to the conclusion that
ozone forms In the upper regions of
tho nir, probably under the Influence
of tho ultra-violet radiations from the
aim, nnd that It Is brought downward
toward the surface of tho earth both
by descending nlr currents and by
drops of, rain. After a shower of ruin
tho quantity of ozone In the nlr Is al
