made a little higher, forming the base of Fig. 6, leaving off the 
ornamental work, and by contracting the end of the lead pipe a 
single stream will rise perpendicularly and spread at top, which, 
by many, is admired more than the rose and jet. By an ex- 
pense of $15 the addition of a post and ornaments, with a basin 
on top, and lillies rising in the centre, as described in Fig. 6, 
would add much to its appearance and give a pleasing effect.
