...soda ash and alum, which prevent undue acidity. The great work of filtration is done by a tank containing 27 tons of graded Cape May, New Jersey sand, through which the water will seep. Before entering the pool it will be impregnated with chlorine gas, which lends a greenish color. The results are tested twice daily by comparing a test-tube full of water with a graded color chart. In addition the floor of the tank will be periodically subjected to the suction of a large curry comb, connected by a hose to the vacuum end of the pumps...

A red gelatin filter makes the bright red neon light the same shade as the receiving cell registered. The yellow-green-sensitized waves go to an argon lamp which glows through a green filter. The greenish-blue-sensitized waves affect another argon lamp with, in this case, a blue filter. Mirrors...
