LIONS HEAD ALWAYS IN USE
From Earliest Times It Has Been As
ISOLATED With Fountains and
Flowing Water.

1.-THE sun CLOVIS In the Lion" says
Seneca, meaning that when the sun
enters the sign Of Leo at the summer
solstice the highest temperature OF
the year is experienced. We may say
On the other hand that the Babylonian
astrologers thousands Of years ago
placed the king of beasts, the fiery
and ferocious lion, in that part OF the
zodiac which the sun enters at the
summer solstice.
The constellation which Is called
Leo bears very little resemblance to
the outline of lion. Probably the
name was originally applied only to
It's principal star, Regulus. 1t is to
this constellation in the zodiac that
we owe the countless water spewing
lions heads which are found in an
Gent and modern fountains, because
in the latter part Of July, while the
sun is still in the sign Leo. the Nile
is at its highest level
Furthermore, the lions head with
widely open jaws is in itself very suit
able for the mouth of fountain or
waterspout. This decorative MOTH
was employed universally throughout
the Greco Roman world. Lions heads
are found used in this way at Athens.

countless other places. 1t is not quite
certain that this employment OF the
lions head originated III Egypt. Cur.

of the fountain.
The water clock, which was used IN
judicial proceedings, had the form OF
lion and name which means the
guardian of the stream. Hence the
idea Of protection may have been the
origin of the association of lions with
fountains, and this custom may have
originated in Asia.-Scientiac Amerl
