C0IN-0PERATED SODA
FOUNTAIN.

An automatic soda fountain
tain has been patented by a resi-.
dent Of Houston, Tex, which is
operated merely by dropping the
proper coin into a slot. Con
| tanned in an attractive wooden
cabinet are three tanks, one filled
with syrup, another with car
bonic acid gas, and third
which is surrounded with ice, is
filled with water, There is also
Il container filled with paraf1ined
cups. When a coin is dropped
into the slot it releases three
deliCately balanced levers, one
after the other. The first allows
a cup to drop from the container
into an opening, where it is with
in reach of the customer, and be
meath two spouts. When the
coin passes the next lever it re
leases spring operated appa-
ratus that allows the proper
amount of syrup to flow down
into the cup. The third lever
operates in the same manner as
the second and allows little less
than a cupfui of iced carbonated
water to flow into the cup. In
this way the drink is properly
mixed in a sanitary way and
supplied to the customer without
human aid Popular Mechanics.
