Show Gave Tint to Water Opposite Buckingham palace Is to be found the Victoria memorial. This beautiful piece of workmanship is particularly remarkable for the clear, delicate green of the water in its marble mar-ble basins. The secret of its coloring and translucency was revealed recently recent-ly when two workmen were observed solemnly drawing a large sack to and fro through the water. They explained ex-plained to an interested onlooker that the sack was filled with a certain substance sub-stance which, while preventing the growth of weeds, gave the water its delicate apple-green tint.
