BURSTING A cAsK Or WATER.

That small quantity OF water. say
half a pint, may be made to burst a
strong cask, seems a startling state
ment to make, and yet it is true. 1t is
a well-known law of physics that the
pressure exerted by liquids increases
in proportion to their depth. Suppose
therefore, that we have a strong cask,
filled with water, and standing on end.
The slaves of this cask may be made
to burst apart by adding a very small
quantity of water to what lis already
in the cask. -
AS the cask is alreadYFIfult,- some
way of adding the water must be de-
vised. To do this, a hole is bored in the
end, or head Of the cask, and a long
tube of small diameter is inserted up
right. At the upper end of the tube is
small funnel, into which water is
poured until the tube becomes full,
and when that point is reached the
cask will burst.
This seems almost incredible, but it
is only demonstration of the law that
has been cited. When the water is
poured into the tube it unites with the
water in the cask, and the depth of
the water is several times as great as
it was in the cask alone. The fact that
Inere is only small quantity OF water
in the tube makes no difference, for
it is now all one body. and its depth is
gagged from the top of the tube to
the bottom of the cask.
AS matter of fact, this experiment
is only an artificial reproduction of
what we know takes place in nature.
Some of her greatest commissions are
caused by this very process. Suppose,
for example, that there is great
mass of rock, under which there is a
cavity filled with water that has no
outlet. Suppose, moreover. that there
is crack extending from the surface
of the ground through this mass of
rock to the water-filled cavity under
meath.
A rock in this condition is a common
thing in nature. the crack being caus-
ed by some disturbance of the earth.
or by it's splitting in the natural order
of things. Now. when it rains enough
to fill that crack, thus increasing the
depth of water in the cavity. the pres
sure will become so great that the
rock will be torn into a hundred frag-
mentS.

woo WANG, THE FAIRY.
A Rescue and n Ride.
BY Harry Baxter Mason.
CHAPTER VI.

In a sort of vague manner Willie
Green had hoped he might be able to
save Woo Wang from being swallowed
by the -mouthed angler, but when
he struggled through the water and
reached the scene of the disaster there
was not sign of the boy from Woody
Vile.
The big fish wore a look of joy and
kept his mouth very tightly closed, as
though he were afraid of saying some
thing for which he might be punished
sooner or later.
Willie Green rushed around and
around like a crazy man. He was so
excited he didn't know what to do. In
his frenzy he took out his little pocket
knife and tried to cut hole in the side
of the fish, but his knife made no i'm
preston on the thick skin, which was
protected by very small scales. The
harder Willie dug into this skin the
more pleased the fish seemed to be,
probably thinking all the time that this
strange boy was tickling him for the
fun of it.
But Willie was in deadly earnest. He
felt pretty sure he had seen the last
of the fairy and almost cried at the
thought.
AS he raced about his foot struck
something hard, and picking it up he
found that he had an old harpoon
which had been lost or thrown over
board from some whaling vessel. With
this held like a Kaffir holds his spear
the youngster rushed blindly at the
fish, and with all his might hit the
angler in the side. But the instrument
was rusty and the point dull, so it
simply slipped along the skin and did
no damage.
Time and again he attacked the
strange creature, which held his COM
rade a prisoner: but time and again
his weapon failed to harm the fish
which had been turned into a fairy
Jail.
Then a happy idea struck the boy.
With a mighty effort he jabbed the

KUBELIK PARTIES.
A Young and Good Looking Genius
who Rivals Padereyvski

Who Rivals Paderewski.
New York, Nov. 22.-In London last
spring a Kubelik party was the very
smartest entertainment even a Duchess
could offer her friends. Indeed, since
Paderewskis advent there has been no
such lion as this same pale-faced, long
haired, spiritual-looking, Hungarian
Gypsy virtuoso Of the violin.
Kubelik is only 81 years of age, and
his is not the musical genius that
starves in a garnet. BY sudden bound
he has lept into the forefront of his
profession. 1t is said that he is about
to undertake a tournee. as it is call
ed, for which he will receive 500. 000
This fortune is sometimes the reward
of a lifetime of struggle and hard work,
but Kubelik has scarcely emerged
from his teens, and he is going to make
this sum in the course of a few months
in the United States while waiting for
the next London season to commence.
He plays, too. with an abandon which
shows the artist. AS one watches him
one feels that he has forgotten his au-
dience; that his mind is far away, and
his soul wrapped in music. II is pa

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
London, Nov. e.-The death OF Colonel
Benson and the loss of his guns are mere
incidents, though most lamentable Incl
dents, in the war.
This Boer victory-for such, unhappily, 1t
was-has postponed the chances of peace,
but does not materially alter the nature Of
the struggle.
in the case of Marais has fallen like a
thunderbolt upon the constitutional law
yers.
The reasons for this startling Judgment
have not yet been given. but II they bear
any resemblance to the bitter dicta of the
Lord Chancellor during the argument, they
will destroy. so Ear the jurisdiction and
authority of the court extend, those pri-
mary safeguards for the liberty of the
subject which IS supposed to have been
finally secured by the habeas corpus act
and bill of rights.
CONFINED WITHOUT TRIAL.
AIarais is a British subject confined in
Cape Colony without trial.
On the preliminary examination or war
rant by order of the military commandant
Marais was arrested at Paarl on August
Is. and removed 800 miles to Beaufort. West.
where he is now confined.
No definite charge has ever been made
against him, though he was vaguely told
that he had fnfringed a paragraph of mill
tary regulations which forbids intercourse
with the enemy.

Civilian Marais Hearing Denounced by
British Constitutional Lawyers "Unarguabe Revolution
-Marais Held By British Military Powers Without
a Trial
QUEER ACTS OF TRIBUNAL WHICH REFUSED HIS PETITION

the Supreme Court of the Colony for mis-
release on the ground, which was not dis
puted. that he was a civilian. and therefore
amenable only to a civil tribunal.
But the court whose honored and dis
tinsuished Chief Justice Is in England. re-
fused to interfere with the actions OF the
soldiers in the district under martial Law.
Last Tuesday the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council was asked for special
leave to appeal, inasmuch as the case was
exceptional and peculiar.
II the matter had involved large sums of
money. an appeal TO the King in Council
would have been the absolute right of the
defeated litigant. but as Marais was charged
with crime. though with what crime one
seems to know. he cannot appeal without
leave against liability to death or perpetual
Imprisonment.
CIVIL POWER SUBORDINATED.
In vain did Mr.. Haldare. who argued in
his behalf. cite a whole chain of legal au-
thorities for the proposition that martial
cannot IN the absence of express statutory
enactment. be tried by court-martial. while
the ordinary courts are open.
The Lord Chancellor interrupted him at
every point. and laid down the general
principle that the courts are not open. if
access to them would endanger the interests
of the state.
Lord Davey. one of the greatest lawyers
of England. emphatically protested against
this doctrine as subversive of British free
DOM He was outvoted. and the petition was
dismissed.
The immense Importance of this decision
Is that IL does not depend upon the special
circumstances of South Africa at the pres
ent time. but it is of universal application.

FOR A CENTRAL
BELT RAILWAY.
Company ReOrganizes With ST.
5C9,0O0 Capital and Asks Fran
chise-RailrOad News.

The Central Belt Railway Company has
been reorganized with a capital of sl,50o, 40
and will begin Immediately the construction
of a belt railroad through st. Louis County.
An announcement to this effect was made
in the County Court at Clayton yesterday
when William X. Kavanaugh. president of
the company, filed petition for an amended
franchise.
Mr.. Kavaraugh asks for number Of
radical changes in the original order
sranted by the Court over two years ago.
Instead of starting from Jefferson Barracks
he proposes TO begin the road at the juno
tiOn of the st. Louis and san Francisco
Railroad tracks with the city limits. The
route will then run in northefly ana
noTth%CsJtrly direction to the North anu
South road about 500 feet east of its inter
section with the Clayton road. thence north
warlly around Clayton, siirtins the county
seat on the west, to the junction OF the Nc
knight road and Colorado Railroad tracks
The route then parallels the Colorado tracks
TO the Bonhomme road. thence north and
east tothe st. Charles Rock road east 10
the Carson road and to Ferguson avenue
and east and north to the Halls Ferry road
From here the tracks will be run SOUTH
wardly and eastwardly to the tracks o. the
St Louis. Eeokuk and Northwestern R1!!-
road Company, Just north OF prospect hIH
station
The fact that the tracks of the Frisco
would be the southern terminus CT the Bet
road and the tracks of the 81. Louis. keo-
kuk and Northwestern the northern term
nus gave rise to a report in Clayton yester-
day that these two companies would build
and control the new road for Worlds Fair
purposes The report was strengthened bN
Mr. Kavanaugh requesting the Court TO
strike out section in the original fran
chise requiring the consent of the Court be e
fore the road could be sold. But MI: kav,
anaugh would not admit the report. and
General Manager Elliot of the burlington
declared last night that he knew nothing
about 1t.
Mr.. KavanGush asked that two other sec
tions of the original franchise be stricken
out. One of these sections PROVIDES Tor a
scent fare for the entire route and a uni
form freight charge. while by the other one
the company VIII be required 10 run cars
every thirty minutes in the daytime ami
every hour at night
In addition Mr.. Kavanaugh asked permis-
