Flow of Solids.

Changes of form are very slow-though
rapid enough to explain the motions OF
glaciers-but pressure increases their
speed. Tresca Of the French academy has
proved by his beautiful and varied exper-
iments that under certain pressure all
solids flow like liquids, and that their
molecules obey in such cases the laws OF
the motion of liquids. A block of lead, or
of steel, or of ice, placed in cylinder and
pressed upon, is made to flow out Of a hole
in the cylinder exactly as jet of water.
1t remains solid all the time, but its
molecules, whose paths are rendered visi-
BILE by special arrangement, are seen to
have acquired certain freedom of mo-
tion and to flow in the very same way as
molecules of water flow from a hole in a
pail.
A cube Of lead, steel, stone or ice, plac-
ed on solid surface, submitted to suffi-
Gent pressure or loaded with sufficient
weight, flows sideways just as if it were a
block of plastic clay. The only difference
is that clay flows under its own weight,
while steel requires an immense pressure
in order to flow in its solid state. AS to
ice, it stands between the two-much near
er, of course, to the former than to the lat
ter, if both are taken at ordinary tempera-
lures. A thickness of few hundred feet,
or corresponding load, would be quite
sufficient to make it flow, though remain
ing solid, even over quite horizontal
floor, and to behave in its spreading over
the floor like lump of plastic mud, pro
vided it's temperature is but few degrees
below zero. Nineteenth Century.

The One Legged Tramp.

A funny story is told about freight
brakeman running out of Kern City. One
evening he started to clear the tramps of
the cars soon after leaving the station,
and in so doing found one legged man
stealing ride. Taking pity on him, the
brakey told him to go back to an empty
refrigerator car, lift tho latch and crawl
in, where he would be safe from observa-
ton.
After awhile brakey came back and
found the one legged man near where he
had left him. He again told him about
the refrigerator car and again went about
his business. For the third time this was
repeated, and then, at the fourth, the
brakeman, surprising the crippled tramp
did not know what a refrigerator car was,
said, tCome along, and I'll show you
where it isl
When he reached the car, he lifted the
hatch, and swinging his lantern down in
side he was just about paralyzed to see
no less than three one legged men already
comfortably ensconced therein, while the
fourth was ready to join them.-Bakers

Human Beings.

The economic course of lectures given
nv the Travellers club for the benefit OF
the W.L.U. Home Fund, was most aus
piciously opened Saturday afternoon by
Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz, IN thoughtful
andthoug bit compelling lecture on HUI
man Beings"
The president of the club has fitted up
charming lecture room in her own
home capable of accommodating one
hundred and twenty-five, but SO great
vas the desire to hear Mrs. Diaz that
bassocks and the stairs were gladly &C.
cented after ali the tickets had been
sold.
On the platform with Mrs. Diaz sat
Mrs. Noah Burgess, candidate Tor scnool
committee in Ward 1,
Mrs. Frye introduced the talented
lecturer very happily as one well known
TO the ladies of Portland, by her literary
attainment and labors for humanity.
Mrs. Diaz gracefully acknowledged the
ovation she received and said: L am
neither a teacher nor knower, but
simpIy thinker and finder out. | want
YOU to try with me to think OF some way

beings of this age find themselves.

to solve and to its solution we must
hiring certain principles. First we must
bring receptive mind and, without
nreiudice give fair hearing to every
theory before we condemn it. You need
not give the hearing if you do not want
TO. but do not condemn unless you do.
Next we must remember that the
principles of the universe are progress,
life and life individually. expressed"
The talk of the afternoon was an out
line of course of four lectures. and was
necessarily suggestive, rather than ex-
planatory. The right OF the individual
to have a chance TO develop his possibili-
ties, formation instead of reformation,
lettering the conditions of life instead of
curing it's ills were some of the points
which were tersely and logically pre-
sented. A great many questions were
asked in the informal talk following the
lecture.
Mrs. Sara Fairfield Hamilton, president
of the Educational and Industrial Union
of Saco, was present.
The remaining four lectures will be
given on successive Saturdays at B
O'Clock, and will include domestic
science. sanitation, education, ETC.

Architect John Calvin Stevens went to
Boston last week for peculiar reason.
Together with two Boston architects, he
acted as judge in prize competition of
drawings. The Mcfarland Manufactur-
ing Company of that city, which deals in
all kinds of fancy and artistic house fur
nishings. instituted novel and very
clever method of advertising. Their or
ders come largely from the recommends
tons of architects, and they resolved to
secure their favor by exhibiting through
all their correspondence the most artistic
letter-head, so that when an architect re-
ceived letter from them and saw a let
ter-head design of genuine artistic merit
he would be naturally prepossessed in
their favor. Therefore they offered
three prizes, of $75, $50 and $25, open to
all draughtsmen in the country, and 131
designs were sent in from all over the
country. The first prize went to Chica-
go, the second to Lowell and the third to
Boston.
The securing of their letter-head de-
sign therefore, cost the firm several hun
dred dollars, but that it will prove q
good investment no one questions.

Old Fashioned Molasses.

Old fashioned molasses, the genuine,
dark brown, saccharin, delicious adjunct
of the corn pone and the slapjack, has
become scarce article of late years and
is likely to become scarcer still. In fact,
the old time molasses is scarcely produced
nowadays, for as sugar making machinery
is improved and the production of sugar
increased the quantity and quality Of mo-
lasses decreases. Many planters can re-
member the day when, to separate the
sugar from the molasses, the boiled cane
juice was placed in barrels bored full of
holes. The molasses drained out, and the
sugar remained in the barrel. The CEN
trifugal machinery now in use separates
the sugar SO thoroughly that but little
molasses, and that of poor quality, is left

OLIVE CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.
rhe Dual Phases, Prosaic and Poetic, o
the Growing Industry.

Ehe Dual Phases, Prosaic and Poetic, Oh
the Growing Industry.
The prosaic side of olive culture in Cal
ifornia is that it has been money max
ing crop for some years, and that as time
advances and the olives grown in this state
are sent east in larger quantities the in
dustry becomes more lucrative. There is
mora attention now given to olives as
source of horticulture revenue than ever
before.
But there is poetic side to olive grow
ing as well, and any kind of arboriculture
which can appeal to both the prosaic and
the poetic side of mans nature must be
deemed singularly fortunate. Sentiment,
If it be genuine and healthy, is as real as
the multiplication tablekbr the binomial
thsorem, and it is an open question wheth-
er it is not often as valuable rom the
utilitarian standpoint.
There is something fanciful, something
oriental, about the olive which is shared
by no other tree unless it be the fig tree or
the cedars of Lebanon. Hebrew poetry,
which we know best from that wonderful
collection, the Old Testament, is full of
illusions and references to the olive. Da.
vid, the accepted author of the Psalms,
says. ~ am like green olive tree in the
house of God" jeremiah, the doleful
prophet, says, tThe Lord called thy name
a green olive tree, fair and Of goodly
fruit" and Hosea, foretelling the glory of
Israel, says, Ellis branches shall spread
and his beauty shall be as the olive tree. I"
Even in the New Testament, in the won
derful vision of John which we call the
Revelation, of the two witnesses it is said,
'fThese are the two olive trees and the
two candlesticks standing before the God
of the earth, and if any man will hurt
them fire proceedeth out of their mouth
and devoureth their enemies"
A parallel has not infrequently been
drawn between the foothills of California
and the hill country of Palestine, and the
spread Of the olive will increase the SINH
larity. The olive is a tree well suited for
the hills, for it grows with very little soil
and with almost no care. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that the time will come
when the barren hillsides and slopes shall
be clothed with the rich green of the olive
when the now unused valleys shall be
made vocal with the noise of the olive
press, and when the oil of the dark green
fruit shall be as plentiful and in as gen
eral use as it now is in Italy, Greece and
all the countries that border on the Medl-
terranean. If any country in the world be
the legitimate descendant of the original
land of the olive, it is this empire by the
western sea which we call California.-Po-

Good Business.

Some time ago there lived in Vienna a
bird fancier who did a large trade in talk
ing parrots. 1t was astonishing how clev-
erly the birds acquitted themselves when
the vender showed them to his customers,
and the man realized high prices-in some
cases as much as 200 marks each. Strange
to say, after they were sold, all the par
rots remained dumb to the end of their
natural lives. 1t subsequently turned out
that the bird fancier was an accomplished
ventriloquist.- Zurcher Freitagszeitung.
