An experiment is soon to be tried in Philadelphia which mav be of value to communities that are in need of purer water supplies than they now enjoy. says the New York Tribune. A private corporation in that city is erecting a plaut on the banks of the Schuvlkill for the purpose of showing, if possible, the superiority of disinfection with ozone over the svstem of sand filtration adopted by the municipality and already in service along the Delaware. Tin method about to be tried has been introduced on-a small scale in two or three, foreign cities, but is practically unknown in America. It differs from that employed by Albert E. Wolf, of this city, 10 or 12 years ago, and by M. Hennite in France. Those men treated salt water with electricity, and thus liberated both ozone and chlorine. The new process produces only the former, and obtains it from the air. By means of suitable electrical apparatus the oxygen is separated from the other gases with which it is asociated, and is so modified as to acquire power ful germicidal properties. These are exercised upon contaminated water if the ozone is permitted to bubble np through the fluid, and at the same time the later Is clarified and deodorized. Upto th present time filtration has done more for the purification of water in which the bacteria of typhoid, fever and other diseases are present than any other mode of treatment. Its benefits are not oniform. Through mistakes of administration it oc- asionally fails to yield the expected results. At best ft only reduces the number-of microbes. It does not completely eliminate them.: Still, it has materially lowered the death rate in many localities which for merly suffered a heavy mortality. To convince dis interested sanitary engineers that the use of ozone will prove more satisfactpry 5n the long run will he by no means easy. A system' which works admir ably in the laboratory does not always behave equally well on a large scale. It is easy to believe that if a globule of ozone comes in contact with a mischievous bacillus the latter will be instantly killed. Whether a sufficiently thorough commingling of the gas with the water can be insured to reach all the germs in the fluid is another question. A second essential to effi ciency & continuity of operation. If the machinery gets out of order, there must be an interruption either of the water supply or of the disinfection, and in stances of the latter kind appear to have occurred at Wiesbaden. It is to be hoped that the apparatus which is about to be installed in Philadelphia will have an endurance test, to clear up uncertainty on this point. If the-men under whose auspices the venture is made can also demonstrate the economv of the process, they will overcome doubts which have been entertained by experts who apparently have none regarding its excellence. Cities which cannot supervise and control tin1 ter ritory from which their water supply comes are ex posed to peculiar danger. Practically all of the typhoid epidemics which 'occur in this country and Europe result from such inability to prevent contam ination. The only resource left, in cases of that kind, is to purify the water before it is distributed for con sumption. The number of communities which have neglected to adopt one safeguard or another is as tonishingly large. In the near future the scope of their choice may, be considerably widened. In a dozen or more places the- copper sulphate system is undergoing a trial this year; and before many more months have elapsed a correct judgment of its value should be possible. If the regeneration of water from the filthy and poisonous Schuylkill should prove effective and cheap, an additional instrument for much needed sanitation will be available. are tinlay :1040. most of them amply supplied with loadable resources. The statement of President Gannon and no one is in a position to understand better the financial sit uation at the south than he is explains, in con siderable measure, the present existence of so large an amount of idle money in this city, says the New York Commercial.. A large part of this money con sists of deposits that have been made temporarily by southern banks a fact that is luirue out by the low rates that obtain for time hums. If the south were in expectation that it would be compelled to borrow a large amount of money to move the new cotton eron. it would have made engagements to that em long before this time, and the fact would have bet manifest in higher rates for money. It may be pi mature to say that the south may not 1k compelli to apply to this city and to other financial center for loans to some extent for crop-moving purpost later on. but all indications go to show that it is amply equipped with funds for this object and that such loans as it may require are likely to lie comparrt tively small in the aggregate. It is fortunate that this is the ease, for the federa treasury is in no position at present to help out an stringency in the money market. Heretofore,. who the treasury has possessed an ample supply of fum and there was a prospect of a heavy demand for money for crop-moving purposes, the federal author ities have deposited a liberal portion of them wit national bank depositories so that they might In available for general use. At the present moment th actual working cash balance iu the treasury is dow to the low water mark of fcJG.OW.OOO, while the gov eminent 'a expenditures continue to exceed its re ceipts, the outlook being that the government may be soon forced to draw on the national bank deposi taries in order to meet current obligations. So long as money is as abundant as it now is, how ever, there is no occasion to call on the federal treas ury for aid, and undoubtedly there will be a plent ful supply of money to move Ixrth the cotton and the. wheat and other crops.

President Gannon of the Ilibernia Bank and Trust Company of New Orleans is reported as saying alluding to the new cotton crop that "this season the banks of the south are strong enough and ready to move the biggest cotton crop on record and worth, possibly, $200,000,000 more than any previous crop.'' He adds that the reason for this in addition to the great increase in wealth at the south of late is the fact that, whereas "10 years ago there were 1481 hanks of all kinds in the cottongrowing states, there ENGLAND'S NEW WARSniPS. In view of the naval situation in the far east tin1 shipbuilding program of Great Britain for the pros ent year becomes of increasing interest. It was givr in detail in the house of commons the other day briefly, as follows: Tlw. 1 .1 1 fc . iic iu iirw uuuiesiiip o ine umi .wison class will be fully worthy of their glorious name.

The advantage in the new ships lies in their greater number of 9.2-inch guns. This weapon is one of the most powerful in existence, firing a MO-pountl shel twice or thrice in a minute and driving it through 35 inches of iron. It is more powerful than any gun of similar type mounted in foreivn battleshins, The four big 12-inch weapons lir" an A50-poimd shel through some four feet of iron.
