With a handle of this kind llie hand can be placeil at just the right point Cor the implement to bal- ance, and there is none of the strain upon the ^vrist that is demanded by the ordinary form. A column of water of the length of the spout when allowed to flow comes out with no little force. As the stream of water issues from the nozzle it is inter- cepted by a flange, which is cast in brass of a peculiar shape, with the elTcct to break the stream into the thinnest possi- ble sheet ot water, of a most beaHtifull\ curved form. At the upper part of the engraving the form of the discharge of water is shown, as well as that ot the flange which produces the effect. It will be seen that the water is dispersed over a broiid space, and its force is so far coun- teracted and it is spread so exceedingly thin tliat it can be allowed to fall upon small and delicate plants without injury.
