AN OZONE DELUSION. “
ORIGIN OF LIFE.
Science has destroyed so many accepted theories that the maite worry to the public is to find some pronounceable labie with which to distingulah "the latest discovery.” It will now have to apply its wits to davising another popular name for what it has hitherto understood to be ozone.
Drone, one has always been in) structed, is the substance causing that clean, pleasant smell in frash air, hai .Dr.. Benjamin Moore, of the National Institution for Medical Research, has con- clusively proved that the latter is Initrogen peroxide.
There is no ozone close to the earth." he said to a representative fof the Daily Ohnmiðir recently. "You' hava- to go at least five miles bigh to find it. That which has been described as usage is, in reality, nitrogen peroxide.”
This and other discoveries have been made by Dr. Moorė and his colleagues, duting experimenta extending over eight years, in which they have examined the origin of life.
"Peroxide of nitrogen." he explained, was believed be produced by the electricity of thunderstorms; but we have found |that strong light is the 'a gent

A GAS DISINFECTANT. "We are now producing nitro- gen peroxide in the laboratory, using a powerful-mercury light. A present the gas, diluted za 1,50,000 is being employed experimentally at two of the chief London hospitals for disinfecting rooms and clearing bacteria from the nasal passages.
"For the gas is a disinfectant, and it is curious to reflect the: the sun, which is itself the most powerful physical, disinfectant, should generate another chemical one in nitrogen peroxide. "If such or similar experiments an be carried out surcessfully, their value in affording protection against air borne Miseases such as influenza and common colds by disinfecting the air of places of assembly is obvious, and it is along such lines that discovery in future will probably
