Making the Fountain Play.

Now here is a sort of fountain and
pump combined which is so simple
that 1t would be pity II any boy
should be deprived. through ignorance,
of the pleasure of seeing 1t work.
The apparatus needed is only a com.
mon tin funnel, the bigger the better.
It is worked by plunging 1t with the
mouth down, in bathtub or washtub
half full of water. If you press the
funnel down rapidly and forcibly the
water under 1t, not being able to get
out OF the way quickly enough. will
be pressed up into the funnel, and,
because of the tapering form of the
latter a Jet of water will be forced
out of the small end of the funnel and
and will rise to height that will sur
prise you. With funnel which has q
wide mouth and q small tube, you
can make a fountain ten feet high.
OF course, you understand that the
fountain does not play all the time,
but that jet shoots up each time
you force the funnel down.
You see, also. that this is not par
lor entertainment. The trick should
be done out of doors, If possible. II
not, you might try 1t in the bathroom
or the laundry. If you remember
that it is neither necessary nor de
sirable to force the jet quite to the
ceiling, nor yet to make 1t shoot
across the room.
