The Flow of Solids.

The idea of flow is generally associa-
ted with the movements of liquids and
gases, and. indeed, the term fluid is
usually restricted to these two states of
matter
Nevertheless it is beginning to be
understood that nearly every substance
is capable of movement correspond
ing to the idea of flow, and that such
a thing as absolute rigidity does not
exist.
The flow of solids occurs in such
mechanical operations as the drawing
of wire, the manufacture of drawn
shapes in the forming press and in
the spinning lathe, and all these are
well known to the engineer. To the
general observer it is apparent that we
have in the mountain glacier an ex-
ample of continuous flow of an appar-
emily solid mass, and that, too, with
out rupture or gration.-Cas-
sier's Magazine.

Nations Fairgrounds.


The nation that leads the world in
feverish business activity requires
Fairgrounds as well as workshops. If
we aspire to maintain industrial SUI
premacy We must perforce think OF
conserving not only minerals but men
Arguments for scenic preservation need
not be limited to esthetic or Senti-
mental postulates; the Fairgrounds o.
the nation are ESSENTIAL to its very life.
Nor can the materialist turn aside from
this demand OF the times, for no great
err value can be won from mountai-i
slopes and rushing rivers than through
the utilization Of natural scenery in the
development Of citizens.
John Muir has justly termed the
mountain parks fountains of life. Here
can be had the recreation that makes
for increased and maintained eff
cheney. The appreciation of the beauti-
full in nature should become more and
more an American characteristic, and
in these days Of national stock taking
we do well to inventory the nations
wealth in wild scenery.
The national policy Of preserving the
best of America for present and future
enjoyment is well fixed. Since 1872
twelve national parks have been estab-
ished, including public domain within
as many different states, with an ag-
gregate area Of $500, 900 acres. In addi-
been created since June, 1906, eighteen
national monuments in nine state. with
a total area of over 100000 acres. The
Grand Canyon and the petrified forest
in Arizona and the natural bridges in
Utah are the most notable of the ma
t1onal monuments; of the national
parks the Yellowstone, the Yosemite,
and the Mount Rainier are the best
known. The secretary of the interior
is the federal officer charged with the
administration OF these national reser-
vations, and congress makes annual
appropriations for their maintenance,
those for the current year amounting
to $175,000. The present policy is to
make the utilization OF these resources
for recreation available to the greatest
number of people by building roads and
trails, issuing maps, and safeguarding
the health and comfort of visitors
through sanitary improvements and
supervision Of the transportation and
hotel concessions.-George Otis Smith,
in Review of Reviews.
