Photo-metric tests were made of one of the horizontal Alament lamps and an ordinary vertical flament lamp, each rated at 50 candle- power.

OZONE IN VENTILATION.
Ozone in the air begins to be dangerous when it reaches about one millionth, according to the report of Hill and Flack to the London Reyal Society. In greater amount it irritates the respiratory tract, several parts per million causing inflammatory congestion of the lunge, and proving fatal after considerable exposure. Warning of s dangerous proportion is given by irrita tion of the air-passages, congling and headachs. A proportion just perceptible to smell can be safely used in ventilation, and masks disagreeablé odours, freshens the air, and gives invigoration to air artificially warned.
