With clear night, unhampered by wind, the
marvellous beauty Of lbe electric fountain was
really appreciated for the first time last even
ing. The spectacle was witnessed by thou
sands. who swarmed around the grand central
court when the whistle signal was given for the
fountain to play.
1t was just O'clock when the electric lights
were cut OIL. All eyes then turned toward the
fountain. Its appearance above ground sug-
gests collection OF chimney pots, rising from
tie platform al the north end of the court.
Soon from the central outlet there burst a great
stream OF water, rising 10 a level with the roof
OF the Manufacturers building. In an instant
eighteen other streams arose. each converging
toward the central pillar Of waite: and all play
ing WIN Tie full force OF the energy by which
the fountain is run.
Presently this central jet of water turned
brilliant green and the surrounding lets gradu-
ally assumed the same color. In another mo-
ment the entire fountain was a great
mass OF emerald-hued water. AS the speeta-
tors watched uDge of red peTvaded II,
and gradually the emerald melted into a ruby,
then 10 topaz ana then 10 Il sapphire The
II II were a rainbow subdiYided and then
thrown together again. With each new COM
Dlnhtion, the prettler the fountain looked aud
the louder grew the applause of the spectators.
But the color changing of the fountain was
not the only effect produced. From time TO
time there was an alienation or eolors in the
water jets. After this had been repeated
shifting of the apparatus by which the fountain
Is operated. From the center arose as vast a
volume OF water as al first, but in addition all
around the outer edges were little sheayes OF
wheat which seemed TO be made of crystal. AT
first these sheaves were silver white, then in
succession blue, red, green and gold.
Southern California; building was omen dur-
was Increased by the soft illumination OF the
electric lights. Hundreds of visitors iu-
spected The display, and the management was
as hospitable as during the afternoon.
