 ing statements by various chemists that the 

 so-called "Ozone," much vaunted as an an- 

 tiseptic by its patentees and vendors, is 

 merely a mixture of sulphur and charcoal, 

 scented with cinnamon, we take occasion to 

 say that Professor G. E. Patrick, of the Kan- 

 sas State University, exposed this nostrum in 

 the 'L&virtnc.Q Journal at least three months 

 ago.

Snow has fallen in Athens, and the winter 

 as a whole, has been the severest known in a 

 generation. In the village of Cephissia, at 

 the foot of Pentelikon, only a few miles from 

 Athens, the snow was for days in February 

 six feet deep. In Athens the streets were 

 blocked for days with three feet of snow. 

 The day before its fall the streets had been 

 sprinkled with water, owing to the clouds of 

 dust.
