BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a fountain, and more particularly to a fountain that has a durable oil lamp operating without electricity and providing flickering firelight effect. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Fountains are usually set in courtyards or gardens for embellishment. [0005] A conventional fountain has a base, a body, a pipe and a pump. The base has a cavity defined in the base and receives water. The body, which is hollow and mounted in the cavity, has a top. The pipe is mounted through the hollow base with one open end connected to the pump under water in the cavity and another open end protruding out of the top of the base. When the fountain operates, the water in the cavity is pumped through the pipe and gushes out of the top of the body to provide dynamic visual effect. [0006] To work the fountain at night or in the dark, electric lamps such as halogen lamps or light emitting diode lamps are mounted to the fountain to light up the spring water. [0007] However, the electric lamps include electric components such as circuit boards, switches and wires that easily break and need to be replaced frequently. [0008] Some fountains capable of working in the dark use exclusive candles to light up the spring water. However, these fountains cannot operate with other kinds of candles. [0009] To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a fountain with an oil lamp to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The main objective of the invention is to provide a fountain that has a durable oil lamp operating without electricity and providing flickering firelight effect.
