        Greetings, colleagues.
        
        A number of us at school have been watching John Adams, although
not as
        many as I would think.? I keep talking about it to people, but
so many
        people don't have HBO.? Anyway....one of the people I work with
thinks
        that he has found an anachronism, that there wouldn't have been
a
        fountain at Versailles because there was no electricity.? I'm
thinking
        that they had fountains for centuries, but when it gets right
down to
        it, how would they have been powered?? Would they have been
gravity fed
        or something?? Anyone have insights into antique plumbing?
        
        Thank you for your insights.
