It is brilliantly lighted at night by electric light,and it is so large that it can accommodate several thou- almost as elaborate as the intake, for by means of a systemof piping all refuse water is emptied at a point where atidal current takes it out of reach of the baths. Theocean side of the building is so constructed that the rushof water from any tidal wave that might be bent on mis-chief will force open the panes of glass in the side of thebuilding and go through the building without causing anydamage.

There are six tanks, the largest being 275 feetby 150 feet, with depth of water from 2 feet to 7 feet 9inches. On the other side of the building, separatedfrom the main tank, are five smaller ones 75 by 28 feet,four of which contain warm water. Each dressing roomhas a shower bath. Mr. Sutro devised an ingenious method for supplyinghis baths with a constant supply of fresh ocean water.Observing the height to which the waves came, heblasted a basin in the solid rock of the cliff which formsthe shore line, into which the water falls.

There is also an emergency pipe which iscapable of bringing in 5,000 gallons of water a minute ifthe tide happens to be exceptionally low.
