These facts bear out the conclusion that the fluidity of the heated stone depends in considerable measure on the water which is contained, either in its fluid or vaporous state, between the particles of the material.
It need not be supposed that the rock beneath these countries, which when forced out became lava, was necessarily in the state of perfectfluidity before it was forced through the fissures.
The elasticity and fluidity of the organic form manifests itself, within the type, freely in all directions, and to an unlimited extent.

This bubble by reason of its comparative levity to the fluidity that incloses it, would ascend to the top.

It was this want of organization, this looseness and fluidity of the new movement, that made it penetrate through every class of society.
Now this superior fluidity in air indicates the least degree of adherence possible between its constituting parts, and supposes them of such a figure as only to be touched at one point.

But, as a matter of fact, the fluidity of the ocean plays an important part in the phenomenon, as does also the elasticity of the earth.

If the illusion in trying to name and define mental states is due to their fluidity and privacy, by the same token the same treatment of physical objects, which Bergson regards as valid treatment, is in fact equally illusory.

It may be thought, however, that the igneous fluidity of the internal part of the globe is too mighty and improbable a conclusion to be based upon the increase of temperature, observed only to the depth of two or three thousand feet.
To prove the original igneous fluidity of the globe, we might have adopted another course of argument.
