The Electric Tower was composed of three diminishing proportions. The second story was in the form of a circular collonnade entirely open to the sky,on the top of which stood a little curved cupola surmounted by the " GODDESS OF LIGHT " a tall brass figure of a female holding a lighted torch in her uplifted hand. The lower part of the Tower was square .In the center of each side was a proad perforated panel,in the center of each, of which were four great stars with circles about each. The panels and stars on each side were all illuminated in green while the rest of the tower.was illuminated in yellow, making the T o w e r a magnificent picture at night.The illumination of the panels with their brilliant star clusters were like whatever you wished to compare them with, that expressed your idea of the prettiest and most brilliant illumination you ever saw. At the Base of Tower at the right and left, branched out gracefully curved collonnades and in the center of the base at a height of 70 ft from an opening there poured from the Tower 13,000 gallons of water in a minute.This was another beautiful sight as the water came thundering forth from the niche and tumbled in snowy white foam over the screen into the Tower Basin Below .Dirrectly under this ffall of water.
