Earrings.

Girls who are fond of earrings may
perhaps be interested in hearing a
few facts about them. Sad it is for the
emancipated woman of the present
day to learn that these fashionable or
naments were originally mark of
slavery, In bygone days the slave al
ways wore his masters earrings. In
the east they were a sign of caste and
We're buried with the dead Some an
Gent earrings were very elaborate, and
many statues had their ears bored in
readiness for votive offerings of ear
rings. In England the earliest earrings
were very cumbrous and made Of
stone or wood. The eighteenth century
saw the glorifcation of the earring
fashionable beauties outlying each 9TH

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Bursting "a Strong CasI1 With Half a
Pint of Water.

E-Ant Oh water.
That small quantity of water, saw
half pint, may be made to burst a
strong cask seems a startling state
ment to make, and yet it is true. 1t is
we'll 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 is already
In the cask. AS the caSk is already
full, soae way of adding the water
must be devised. To do this a hole is
bored in the end or head of the cask,
and a long tube of small diameter is
Inserted upright At the upper end of
the tube is a 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 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 il
Is now one body. and it's depth is gaug-
ed from the top of the tube 10 the bot
tom of the cask,
AS matter of fact, this experiment
Is only an artificial reproduction of
what we know taxes place ia nature.
Some of her greatest commissions are
caused by this very process. Suppose,
for example, that there is a 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 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
fill 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.
