Not a Common Burglar and a Writer’s Quiet Encounter
A retired burglar recalls a Western Pennsylvania home burglary interrupted by a writer from the New York Sun. He reads a magazine in a library while a dressing-gowned man calmly escorts him out, revealing the writer of the story was the author himself. The piece then shifts to a technical note on Tresca’s experiments in flowing solids and related confirmations.

Flow of Solids and Pressure Induced Flow
The article explains that under certain pressures solids such as lead steel or ice can flow like liquids. Tresca's experiments show solids behave as liquids when pressed, with molecules gaining freedom of movement and flowing from holes in cylinders or pails as with water. A cube on a surface becomes plastic under sufficient load, unlike clay whose flow is due to self weight.
