—An American 'city has devised an arrangement-, whereby the fire brigade may bo used for the purpose of sterilising air. The hose-pipes have attached to their nozzles a fine distributor, whereby a disinfecting spray , can be thrown into the : atmosphere, and by this means it is intended that churches, theatres, concert Halls,' and the like shall lie cleansed between each gathering of people within their walls. Tire chargo for the operation is but nominal, and if there is any fluid left afterwards it is squirted on the pavementfi round about, The' medical authorities are strongly in favour of tho idea, and a further development 'in the direction of "spraying" the atmosphere in the streets themselves is being meditated.'
