lowed out i'll the center and banked
with palms. In the center of this i
seen the electrical fountain, which
throws a stream of water twenty -fiv
feet in the air. Around the cente
stream are seven separate and distinc
MOBILES, which can be used together o
in any combination of numbers. Unde
all this and buried in the plants are si-
vari-colored, incandescent lights, rep

colors are constantly changing and wit
water passing over the lights it make
a very pretty and attractive display.
