water in the reservoir ; but it will nearly as high. For ex- 
ample, if the reservoir is ten feet four inches high, the water 
in the jet will only rise ten feet, and in like proportion for 
the diiferent heights. The following table* shows with a 
given height of reservoirs and diameter of conduit pipes and 
orifices, the height to which the water will rise in the 
fountain.

[Fig. 91.] 
A simple jet, (Fig. 91,) issuing from a circular basin of 
water, or a cluster of perpendicular jets (candelabra jets) is 
at once the simplest and most pleasing of foun- 
tains. Such are almost the only kinds of 
fountains which can be introduced with pro- 
priety in simple scenes where the predominate 
objects are sylvan, and not architectural. 
Weeping, or Tazza Fountains , as they are called, are 
simple and highly pleasing objects which require only a 
very moderate supply of water com- 
pared with that demanded by a con- 
stant and powerful jet. The conduit 
pipe rises through and fills the vase, 
which is so formed as to overflow
