Hot and Cold Water.

A sanitary drinking fountain from which gushes both hot and cold water is the decidedly novel feature to be found on street in Ouray, a mining town in western Colorado. The foun- tain consists of an ornamental cast iron post from which extend two curved arms, each supporting a basin. in the center of which is an overflow ing cup. From the one flows cold wa ter piped from snow-fed mountain streams, while from the other runs hot water drawn from nearby hot springs, of which there are many in the vicinity.-Popular Mechanics Mag aZine.
