dlled with water by submerging it with the
lube in a horizontal position with the tube
uppermost, and alternately pressing IN the
dexible covering and then drawing it out
ward This operation soon drives out the
Rir and fills the cup with water The cup
is placed with the pipe in vertical posi-
ton, and board is laid over the flexible
cover and pressed to expel all of the water
above the rim Of the cup
Now, by placing a twenty-five pound
weight upon the board and pouring water
into the tube, the weight will be lifted and
sustained. This experiment shows that a
great pressure may be produced by small
column OF water. In this case, the cup with
Its flexible cover represents the large CYL
inder and piston of a hydraulic press, the
tube stands for the pump cylinder, the
small water column in the tube for the pis-
ton, and the weight of the column for the
power applied. BY increasing the height
of the water column the pressure will be
acorrespondingly increased.

rises to the same level in both. By remov-
ing the upper portion of the larger vessel
and tying n flexible cover over the lower
part, it is found that column of water in
the smaller sci extending to the point,

certain weight placed on the flexible cover,
as IN Fig. 4. The weight required will be
exactly that of a column of water of the
diameter of the larger vessel and equal in
height to the distance between the flexible
cover and the level of the smaller column,
a. This may be shown by removing the
weight, replacing the upper part of the
larger vessel, as in Fig 3 and filing it with
water up TO the level, a. The weight of
water required in the larger vessel to thus
lift the smaller column to the point a, will
be found 10 be the same as that of the
weight removed.
1t seems paradoxical that no variation in
the size or form of the upper portion of the
larger vessel can make any difference in

FIG. 1.-DEMoNsTRATIoN OF PAsCAL's LAW.
draulic press power is actually created in
some mysterious way. However, nothing
OF this kind happens. A hydraulic press is
simply power converter, in which GER
tain pressure per square inch, acting on
small area, is able to produce the same
pressure per square inch on a large area
thereby multiplying the pressure. The sum
total of all the power utilized in the press is
exactly equal to the sum total of all the
power applied to the press, less friction.
Before proceeding with the hydraulic
press 1t will, perhaps, be well to examine
some OF the prin ciples which underlie its
operation. hollow metallic globe Zig. u
is provided with openings, at the top and
bottom, and upon four or more of its sides.
Around these openings there are collars,
over which are stretched and tied dia-
phragms of rather thick but elastic rub
Der, the upper diaphragm being omitted
until the globe is filled with water The
globe bein g placed upon suitable support,
pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm,
when it is found that the pressure IS
transmitted through the medium Of the
water not only to the diaphragm at the bot
tom OF the globe, but in an equal degree to
the dlaphragms upon the sides of the globe,
thus showing that the pressure is exerted
by the water equally in all directions, and
at right angles to the surfaces with which
it Is In contact. This is q simple illustration
of Pascal's law.
Probably there is not a more striking ex-
ample Of the effects of hydrostatic pressure

In which he burst a stout cask by inserting

Frightened.

Very thin as well as very portly men
are sometimes placed in embarrassing
positions by their excess or lack. of flesh.
A physician living in the northern part
Of the city, says the Philadelphia CaH, is
noted for his extreme thinness. which is
made more apparent by his height of
six feet four inches.
Several days ago, during his absence,
amatch boy called at his house, was ad.
mitted, taken into the back Office, and
the doctors wife bought some OF his
stock. The money was in closet in
company with an articulated skeleton,
which was disclosed as soon as the door
was opened.
The boy took one look at the grinning
horror, and fed from the house, leaving
both money and matches. This was
related to the doctor, and several days
afterwards the same boy was seen passing
the house.
On the doctors attention being called
to the fact, be went to the door and
beckoned the lad to come to him. Hold
ing his fingers to his nose in very ex-
pressive but vulgar manner, the match
boy shouted out:
"Not much, you big old skolington! I
knows yer, even if you has got on yer

The Great African Forests.

The great forest through which Stanley
recently passed, which he estimated to
cover $4,000 square miles, is only q
small part of the great African forest,
which extends almost unbrokenly from
the west coast in the Gaboon aud Ogowe
regions with width of several hundred
miles to the great lakes. This belt of
timber, trending away to the heart of the
continent in direction little south of
east, is, perhaps, the greatest forest region
in the world. a part of it strikes south
of the Congo at the great northern bend
Of that river, and the country embraced
within the big curve is covered with a
compact forest, the towering and wide
spreading trees shutting out large part
of the sunlight.
In these forests, completely shut out
from the rest of the world, live hundreds
of thousands of people who are almost
unknown to the tribes living in the ga
wanna regions outside. Scattered through
the big woods within the Congo bend are
little communities of Batwa dwarfs, of
whose existence the traveller has no
inkling until he suddenly comes upon
them. Here also, along the Sankuru
River, are the tree habitations described
by DR.. Wolf, where the natives live in
huts built among the branches to escape
the river foods.
It was in great clearings made in these
forests that Kund and Tappenbeck dis.
covered some of the most notable villa
ges yet found in Africa, where well.built
huts, with gable roofs, line both sides Of
neatly kept street that stretches away
for eight or nine miles. These villages
are even more interesting than the street
towns in the mere sparsely timbered
regions south of them, which we're regard
ed as very wonderful when they were
first discovered by Wissmann. It was his
account of these villages that led Bishop
Taylor to choose this part Of Africa as
the goal he wished to reach.
Last year the Commercial Company,
which is investigating the trade resources
of the Congo, sent its steamer, the Rio
des Belges, up the Ikatta River into this
great timber land, and the explorers
described the country along the banks as
covered with an almost impenetrable
virgin forest. It is veritable ocean of
verdure, from which emerges here and

A PitiIal Spectacle.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, April 22.-The
miracle meeting of Mrs. Pauline King,
the colored woman who tasted forty days,
was held at Oak Ridge Park yesterday
afternoon. She had advertised that she
would turn water into wine, and crowd
of 500 had assembled to see the miracle.
Mrs. King was attired in a cheese. cloth
dress. She wore a bridal suit, a wreath
of roses aud q bunch of peach blossoms
on her bosom. The exercises were
opened by disciple from Mrs. Wood
worth's faith cure band, who discoursed
upon his conversion and the wondrous
power Of the Lord. After he had led
the audience in several songs he was fol-.
lowed by Mrs. King, who informed the
congregation that she had not come out
to the park on her own volition, but that
it was at the instance of the Lord.
An eight.gallon stone jar was selected,
filled whitewater from neighboring we'll,
and placed on the platform.
Then Mrs. King sunk to her knees and
prayed most earnestly for the Lord to
turn the water into wine. She reminded
Him that she had come to the Park to
give Him an opportunity to perform q
miracle, and she wanted Him to come
and show His power and quicken the
.unbelievers. The tears rolled down her
cheeks, but still there vas no change in
the water. Then the. audience sung
until they were hoarse, and Mrs. King
prayed again most fervently, but the
supplication was in vain and she again
invited the congregation to sing, which
they did, but still there was no wine.
There we're plying expressions among
those present, and these reaching her,
she said she was not discouraged. She
knew the Lord could do it. After she
had declared the meeting to be failure
the water was passed around in a dipper,
and nearly every one present took a sup
to see If they could not detect the presence
of the Intoxicating liquor, but there waa
not the least semblance oft.
