GENEvA'S GREAT FOUNTAIN.
It Stands at the Entrance of It's Port and
IL Throe Hundred Feet High.

It Stands at the Entrance of It's Port and
IL Throe Hundred Feet High.
The fountain that the municipality
of Geneva, Switzerland, has recently
established at the entrance of the port
of that city is certainly the largest
fountain that exists upon the surface
of the globe, since 1t is no less than
three hundred feet in height. 1t may
be seen from a great distance, in clear
weather, detaching itself like great
white sail tapping through the effect
of the wind.
The city OF Geneva possess a most
complete distribution of water under
pressure, the motive power for which
is obtained from an artificial fall es-
tablished upon the Rhone at the point
of the lake. The water for domestic
purposes and for the running of Ger.
tain motors is raised to the height OF
two hundred and fifteen feet above
the level of the lake. For the
distribution of motive force 1t is raised
to height of four hundred and sixty
feet. The reservoir is an open air one,
and is situated upon the top of Bessin-
gers, at a distance of three miles from
the turbine building. A very ingenious
regulator, invented by Mr.. Turrettini,
assures the uniformity of pressure in
the piping.
The length of the first pipe line is
about forty miles and that of the Sec
ond about sixty. 1t is with this latter
that the fountain conduit is connected.
The latter is set in play only on Sun
days. 1t is sometimes set in operation
also on week days, in the evening. In
stead OF single jet of great height,
several are then utilized that do not
rise so high. Powerful electric light
projectors, placed in a structure near
by. brightly illuminate them with their
rays Of varied colors, which transform
them into luminous fountain of the
most beautiful aspect Herald.
