Spouts Soap Bubbles.
A fountain that spouts soap bubbles
is one of the novelties shown in the
palace of liberal arts, The fountain
is about twenty-five feet high and is
surmounted by a statue of a fairy.
Millions of soap bubbles pour out from
the top basin; over the sides and into
a larger and lower basin. which in
turn fills and overflows, the bubbles
being carried off at the bottom. The
effect is much more brilliant than a
water fountain, for each of the tiny
bubbles reflects all colors of the rain
bow. To add to the brilliancy electric
lights are concealed in the lower parts
of the two basins and these throw
beams of light of all colors up through
the bubbles, producing an electric
fountain whose effect is magnified by
every one Of the globes of water. A
combination of mirrors will be set in
the skylight to reflect light upon the
fountain.
The bubbles are produced by spe-
cially built machines which agitate the
soap in clear water and under pres
sure force it up to the top of the
fountain and out into the highest ba-
sin. The bubbles are so mixed that
they have considerable stability and
as they overflow the basins large
chunks of suds break off and fall like
snow to the receptacle beneath The
blowing of bubbles through a clay pipe
was what suggested the invention.
Freak From Idaho.
A section of an Idaho white pine
tree, with the skull and horns of a
mountain sheep imbedded in the wood.
is one Of the curiosities shown at the
worlds fair. Supt. r. W. Mcbride,
of the Idaho exhibit, in the palace of
mines and metallurgy, has the freak.
The section was cut from a tree that
grew in Bemhi county, forty-five miles
from Salmon City. 1t was found by
William Anderson, of that city. The
tree was about four feet in diameter.
Most of the skull bones are on the
inside of the solid tree One of the
horns grows out from the tree, while
the other penetrates theNsolid wood OF
the tree. The horns are each more
than eighteen inches long and are in
a remarkable state of preservation. Mr..
Mcbride says that the only explanation
he has heard advanced that appears
reasonable is that many years ago.
when the monarch of the forest was
not more than one foot in diameter,
there was a landslide, and the noun
tain sheep fell against the tree and its
horns become fastened. The tree con-
tinued to grow and as the sleeps head
could not be freed the trees growth
absorbed the head. Now the skull and
horns appear to be part of the tree.
