The Cunning Girl,

Once upon a time there was a cum
ming little girl who had three strings to
her bow or three beaux to her-but you
may state it as you please-and she
treated them so shrewdly that each one
thought he was the own and only.
She was a very cunning little girl, was
she not? Yes, but after a time each
one Of the three began to nurture a
dark suspicion that he was being played
with, and SO they went away and be-
gan to go with Susan Boggs and Mary
Jones and other girls, and now the cum
ming little girl is an old, old maid, who
feels very sorry that she was so cum
ming and this is all there Is to the story

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT..

Bursting a Strong Cask With Half O
Pint of Water.
That small quantity Of water, say
half pint, may be made to burst a
strong cask seems a startling state
ment to make, and yet it is true. 1t is
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
flled 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 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 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
1t is only a 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
that in the cask alone. The fact that
there is only small quantity Of water
In the tube makes no difference, for it
Is now one body, and its depth is gaug-
ed from the top Of the tube to the bot
tom Of the cask.
AS matter Of fact, this experiment
ls only an artificial reproduction OF
what we know takes place in nature
Some Of her greatest convulsions are
caused by this very process. Suppose,
for example, that there is great mass
Of rock, under which there is a cavity
filed 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 filed cavity underneath. A
rock In this condition is a common
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
I'LL that crack, thus increasing the depth
Of the water in the cavity, the pressure
will become so great that the rock will
be torn into hundred fragments.
