The Fountains of the Crystal Palace.

A LONDON correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean writes, in speaking of the
Crystal Palace: The fountain system is
constructed on a stupendous scale; it con
sists of two series, upper and lower. The
upper has six basins, which form one of
the chief ornaments of the lower terrace,
together with great central fountain in
the Broad Walk" and two smaller ones
on each side of it, making in all nine
fountains. The first six of these throw
their highest Jets 10 an elevation of ninety
feet while number of lower jets around
them curve and bend in variety of grace
ful forms. The basin of the great central
fountain is 1876 feet in diameter, and its
highest jet reaches an altitude of 100 feet
At each side of the broad walk there is
water temple, each about sixty feet high.
They are octagOnal in form, and construct
ed of ornamental iron work, highly gilded
and colered Theroofs are dome shaped,
and each is surmounted by bronze fig
ure. The water is forced up hollow col
umn in the center to the root, over which
| it falls into basins below, and from these
| it rushes down a series of twelve cascades
and is carried over two stone arcades II
! distance of 600 feet into the great fountain
basins in the lower series. The sides of
the cascades are ornamented with bronze
fountains, tazzas supported by Cupids, and
the fall of water from II cataract 120 feet
in breadth. The two great fountains in
the lower series are the largest in the
world. Their basins are 7S4 feet long,
with central diameter of 46S feet, each
column being composed of 52 inch jets.
When all the fountains are in full play II ;
7SS Jets are discharged, throwing 10000
gallons of water per minute. \ full ex,
hibition consumes 6,OOO,OOO gallons, and
when lit up by bright summer sun and
kindlcd into ineliable beauty by a myriad
of rainbow hues it forms fairy spectacle
impossible to describe.

ket was submerged more,or less, the occu.
pants sometimes sitting on the edge and
al other tines holding on TO the ropes.
They were at the mercy of the winds and
waves, and from this time all hopes o
being saved were syabandoned.r Fortu-
nateiy, the wind subsidod, and, being
within few miles of Point Petre light
house, hope began to revive and faint cx-
pectatiOns of safety were entertained, yet
no ohelp came. at this time the balloon
had been driven in by conflicting currents
to within about four miles of the shore.
At tlis. stage il may be said that Point
PetTp was the last chance that the balloon
ists hadsof reaching land until arriving at
the far end of the lake, some seventy miles
distant. The wind again rose in most un-
certain gusts At one time the balloon
was out far, and the next moment was
near enough to shore TO attempt a risk of
abandoning the balloon for the water, in
the hopes of swimming 10 land. About
one O'Clock, however, small schooner
was discovered at distance of about a
mile and a half Prof. Donaldson's strong
voice succeeded in reaching the man at
the helm, and the gratefufwOrds We will
try and help youn finally came back to
the imperiled. voyagers. Tack after
tack rwas made by the vessel, but
on account Of the balloon sailing into
the wind faster than il could follow the
endeavOr to reach was found to be futile.
Then q boat was lowered and for an hour
and a half the two men who formed the
crew rowed vigorously, at times getting
within speaking distance, and then again
being left far behind. AT last the breeze
subsidized TO such an extent as to allow the
boat toleach the aoronauts The drag
rope of the balloon'was handed tO those
on board and then commenced the voyage
TO the shore. At times, while no wind
was blowing, the work of towing was
easy At other tifses the boat had to

what might be called helm, in order that
the unwieldly monster might not be blown
out too far from the shore. At about 80
Wednesday morning they happily sue
ccedcd in making landing on the coast.
Up to this time the balloonists had no
knowledge of the locality in which they
were, all being too much engaged TO in
quire of the men in the boat as to their
Whereabouts On landing, they found
that they were about one mile vest
Point Petre, also called Long Point, the
lighthouse having been in sight for about
an hour. From the time they sighted the

about two hours, which made the time

A Funereal Barber.

The Pau Nal Gazette of recent date
says; Some curious evidence was given
in a case beard at the Manchester City Po-
lice Court last Friday, Illustrating the
strange lack of sympathy between BARRIERS
and underiakers. A barber in Devonshire
street, Manchester, summoned firm ofun,.
derk,kers for causing AN obstruction in the
street in which he carried on his business.
For seven years the plaintiff, according 10
his own account, has been subject to great
annoyance from the obstruction in the car
riage-way opposite TO his shop, caused by
the defendants heaTses, carriages, etc. On
the 10Th inst hearse5 and five mourning
coaches stood nearly opposite To his shop
more than quarter of an hour while the
horses were being harnessed. His Gus
toners did not like this sight of hearses,
and his business was ruined by the dismal
spectacle almost daily presented TO their
ewes. He suffered also much annoyance
fro 4 the unseemly iests indulged in by the
defendants servants when spoken to
respecting the obstruction. On one
occasion he was informed by the de
fendants' manager that he (he barberl
was looking very ill., and was invited to
get inside hearse that was standing by.
| He had formerly kept two or three assist
ants, but could not keep one now, so de
pressing was the effect of the funeral car
riages in front Of his shop. The magis-
trates fined the defendants one pound and
costs. -

Disappointed Love.

A WRITER in the Popular Science Month
IN says: Love defeated in the attainment
of lis object becomes, in man, an incident
TO be forgotten or to be remembered with
impatience. A defeated love, with woman,
is too often a defeat of her intellectual
life. An emotion, the misdirectiOn or dis
appointment of which is capable of in
ducing large per centum ofinsane in one
sex over the other, must surely differ in
degree and kind. Certainly we must
credit this excess ON the part of women
with an important physical factor,
aside from that Of sex proper being
of less hardy development than man;
but these physical peculiarities permit sex
to assert its most potent psychical effect to
the degree of shaping the actions or des
tiny of woman. 1t will suffice to illus
trate the fact referred b, to take the figures
from the reports of two asylums for the in
sane-the Pennsylvania Hospital for the
Insane and the Michigan Asylum. OF
14l insane men and women RECEIVED into
these institutions whose supposed cause OF
insanity could be traced to disappointed
affections, eighty-four were women and
fifty-seven were men. These figures are
taken from an excess of asa male over fe-
male inmates. Now the figures, as we
gather them from asylum reports, show
that women are no more prone to insanity
than men. 1t is natural 70 conclude that a
specific cause leading to this excess OF in
sanity in one sex over the other exists with
greater force in one than the other, and moi
| that one sex is less able to bear the opera
ton of the specific cause"
