- FEATURES
- Parabolic jet streams, reaching heights of 30 feet, radiate from 16 nozzles, on the top of an elliptical dome, 24 feet in diameter at its base. A sheet of flowing water covers the dome, and flickering lights from within give a lively appearance. Thousands of gallons of water are being recirculated every minute of its operation. The tranquil impact of its design is suggestive of the moon, that quiet heavenly body, which by its shining brightness relieves the darkness of the night.
