Having shown anddescribed my inven tion what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A portable fountain of the class described comprising a casing having a removable'false bottom forming a liquid compartment with the bottom of said casing, a drainage outlet for said compartment, a motor and a pump driven from the motor mounted on said false bottom, said motor, pump and false bottom being removable as a unit, a removable liquid tank interlitting with the top of the casing and supported thereby, conduits connecting the intake of the pump with said liquid compartment and the outlet of the pump through the top of said water tank whereby the liquid may be forced in a jet above said tank, and a return conduit from the said liquid tank to the bottom compartment.

2; A portable fountain of the class described comprisingr a casing.,r having,r u removable false bottom forming a liquid compartment with the bottom of Said casing, a drainage outlet for said compartment, a m0- tor and a pump driven from the motor mounted on said false bottom, said motor,

pump and false bottom being removable as,

a unit, a removable liquid tank interfitting with the top of the casing and supported thereby, conduits connecting the intake of the pump with said. liquid compartment and the outlet of the pump through the top of said water tank whereby the liquid may be forced in a jet above said tank, and a return conduit from the said liquid tank to the bottom compartment, a standard supportedby the liquid tank and a bell Shaped member suspended from the standard in the path yof the jet for producing a spray within the said tank.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
