POWER OF WATER.

A single pint of water will burst a
strongly built iron hoped oaken cask
as quickly as though dozen pounds
of gunpowder were exploded in it. 1t
is well known law of physics that the
pressure exerted by liquids increase in
proportion to their depths. Suppose,
therefore, that we have strong cask
filled with water and standing on end.
The slaves of this cask may be made
to burst apart by adding very small
quantity of water to what is already
in the cask.
As the cask is already full, some way
of adding the water must be devised.
To do this hole is bored in the end or
head of the cask and long tube of
small diameter is inserted upright. At
the upper end of the tube is a small
funnel into which water is poured un-
til 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 there
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, the 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 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 well-flled cavity underneath.
A rock in this condition is a con-
mon thing in nature, the crack being
caused by some disturbance of the
earth, or by its splitting in the natural
order Of things. Now when it rains
enough to ill that crack, thus increas-
ing the depth of the water in the cavi-
ty, the pressure will become so great
that the rock will be torn into one hun
dred fragments.

There has not been a fire here for
years"
He looked at her sharply.
Nevertheless, fire!' he said. Ad-
yancing, he thrust his scabbard up the
fue. Some loose bits of brick and
mortar ratified down. Dorothy had
regainod her composurc and bore his
glance unflinchingly.
81 protest It's a shame to put You to
50 much Inconvenience" quoth the
Major, ''but l have a fancy to occupy
your chamber tonight. May l sug-
gest your company will comfort Ma
dam Carroll, in her husbands absence?
My orderly will stand sentinel at the
door, and you may sleep in perfect Sc
curlty. Allow me to bid you good
night and pleasant dreams. We shall
soon have glorious fire here" He
looked significantly at Dorothy.
The girls superb courage served her
we'll. Disdainlng alike his good night
and his proffer to lead her from the
apartment, she walked quietly to her
mothers room. There her composure
utterly gave way. She could do no.
thing for Arthur. To attempt to aid
him was to invite his capture. She
knew, only too we'll, the short shift OF
the spy. If die he must, it might as
we'll be in his hiding-place as on tho
gallows. With Charlton as foe, there
was not one chance in a thousand that
he could escape almost instant execu-
ton. Her agony Of mind was fearful,
nor dared she tell her mother, already
Frustrated with excitement and fatigue.
So the long, sleepless hours went by,
while the Major, cursing the fire that
refused to "draw," but filled the apart
ment with biting smoke, retired to
Dorothy's room and searched again
more carefully. He even opened the
door OF the press and sounded the wall.
Fortunately he struck place where
the bricks had not been removed, and
at last, baffled and bitterly disappoint-
ed in his expected revenge he gave up
the search and rejoincd his men, where
he drank glass after glass of spirits. 1t
was wild night in Carroll Place, for
the Virginia gentry kept wellstocked
cellars.
In the morning, after a thorough
search of the quarters, the British rode
away and Dorothy FASTENED to her
lovers relief.
She found him unconcious, but alive.
Fortunatel y there had been little draft,
owing to the thickness of tie floor of
the hiding place, and it was more ia
tigue. loss of blood and want of food
that had affected Arthur than the
smoke which Dorothy had feared might
suffocate him. II. was nursed back to
health and strength in Dorothy's own
room, with the aid of a faithful slave,
while the information he risked his life
to obtain was dispatched to the Cont
mental camp by trIsty messenger.
And of course they "were married
and lived happy ever afterward."

ONCE IS ENOUGH TO SEE

Gustave Dore's portrait of Dante is worth
seeing-once. But once is enough. Some
such look you notice on the faces of those
who have suffered, and still suffer, much
physical pain; people subject torheumatism,
govt, neuralgia, periodic headache, lumba-
CO. or pain from some old lesion. This pain
habit puts its marks on them, as the custom
of handling ropes crooks sailors fingers;
or as too much riding of bicycle stamps a
worried expression on certain faces. No
wonder people said of the Italian poet as
he passed along, "The-e goes
