from Cumberland to Hagerstown is about

Flow of Solids.
.on the Nineteenth Century

From the Nineteenth Century.
Changes of form are very slow-though
rapid enough to explain the motion of gla-
ciers-but pressure increases their SPEED.
Tresca of the French Academy has proved
by his beautiful and varied experiments
that under a certain pressure all solids
flow like liquids. and that their mole
cules obey in such cases the laws of the
motion of liquids. A block of lead. or of
steel, or of ice. placed in a cylinder ard
pressed upon, is made to flow out Of a hole
in the cylinder exactly as a jet of water
1t remains solid all the time. but it's
molecules. whose paths are rendered visible
by a special arrangement. are seen to have
acquired a certain freedom of motion, and
to flow in the very same way as molecules
Of water flow from hole in pail
A cube of lead, steel, stone or ice, placed
on a solid surface. submitted to sufficient
pressure or loaded with sufficient weight,
flows" sideways just as If 1t were a block
of plastic clay. The only difference is that
requires an immense pressure in order to
flow in it's solid state. AS to ice, 1t stands
between the two-much nearer, Of course
TO the former than to the latter. if both are
taken at ordinary temperatures. thick
ness of a few hundred feet, or CORE
spending load, would be quite sufficient to
make it flow" though remaining solid
even over quite horizontal floor and to
behave in its spreading over the floor like
lump of plastic mud, provided its tenn
perature is but few degrees below zero
This is the net result of Tresca's epoch-
making experiments on 'the flowing Of
solids under pressure. and these expert
ments have been fully confirmed as regards
Ice by the experiments of Helmholtz Pfaff
and especially those of the Bologna pro-
lessor, Btanconi.

we have got canary at home" said
Walter Thompson of Lincoln, Neb., last
night that is considered by the family
to be just about as smart as they make
them. I'll tell why we think so. The bird
cage hangs in a room in which there Is a
large coal stove. One afternoon we were
all going out for a short while, and as the
IRE was low my wife filled the stove with
Goa! and turned on the draft, expecting to
be home before the fire got too hot We
were gone good deal longer than we had
expected. however. and when we returned
the room was ike a furnace. and the stove
red hot. My wite's first thought was of
the bird, and upon looking up at the cage
and not seeing him. concluded at once that
ne had been sunOcated by the intense heat
She Immediately got chair and climbed
up to look into the cage. fully expecting to
See the poor bird stretched out on the floor
dead. Such was far from being the case,
however. Instead. there he was sitting
down fiat in his bath tub. with only his
head. which he would now and then dip
into the water exposed to the furnace
